What the hell are you talking about?? In the last quarter Nintendo incurred a $1.8 million operating loss despite the upsurge in game sales and the net profit was only $120 million which is less than your own stated Sony's $200 million. Furthermore, Nintendo has been suffering losses for the past three years as well even though gaming is its only business with nothing else to drag it down. Check your figures before you troll. Here read the article and convert the Yen figures in to USD. <...
Man, we customers will never figure out what is going in this modern age of updates and patches. I wonder what would happen if someone took the internet away from them. Will the gaming industry collapse or will they start working harder on their softwares?
Yeah, I noticed after making the post. I just got up from bed and got online and that was the first review that I saw. I thought the reviews were just starting to come in and this is one of the firsts. It is good to see it is scoring well overall and this was an exception.
"Digital Future" my friend, digital future...
So should we lynch the Xbox Live and HMCC too just as the Xbox fanboys and the media did with PSN and Driveclub?
When people become too proud and mock others, they are often humiliated in some way to be reminded of their own vulnerabilities. Karma is a bi*ch!
That is disappointing... but nothing new. Low scores for another new game. Let us see what most of the others say and what do we say when we play it.

I will get it on disc. No need to act like a d**k about it. I raised a valid point. There are 7 billion people in the world and not all of them live in the developed countries. There all kinds of people in the world:rich, poor and the middle class. No need to mock someone for not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Stop being so arrogant about the realities of the world. Not everybody lives in the advanced and rich MURICA or Europe.

Why would I delete a game after spending several days to download it!? I would like to keep it so that I do not have to go through with it again. Besides I like keeping a collection that I can play or show to anybody anytime I want.
The "first" 16 hours?? That is more like the whole game.
How the hell are we supposed to move to a "digital future" with those kinds of sizes?? Even a 2 TB hardisk will be full in a couple of years if you purchase digital versions and DLC. Furthermore, the bigger issue is how do we download games of those sizes with the current internet speeds and caps. I have a 4 Mbps DSL with a 300 GB cap and I pay $25 for it. I cannot afford a 40 or 50 Mbps connection (the highest speed available in my country) and downloading at 4 Mbps will take days!...
What is up with the stream of these articles that claim one console to be on top of the other in some way either in short term or long term. It looks like the "journalists" have taken it up to themselves to fight the console wars instead of letting the sales do the talking.
Anyway I do not agree with the author when he claims that Sony has already released most of its big games and Ms is just starting to release them. Isnt that the opposite of what everyone has been claiming...
Pure blatant trolling. Not even trying to hide it.
Just cleared it by sheer dumb luck by joining a fireteam at the last moment. lol! Got an exotic scout rifle while the guy who did all the work got a legendary. :-/ The reward system really needs to be fixed. He must be cursing his luck and maybe cursing me too for my luck.
If graphics are not important why not just keep playing Pacman, Tetris or Donkey Kong for the rest of our lives? No need for new hardware, right? Why does everybody cares about new and improved hardware each gen if gameplay in the only thing that matters? Only people with underpowered gaming machines say that graphics do not matter. First it was only the Nintendo gamers that used that argument and now Xbox gamers are joined them too. Ironically, during the N64 and Gamecube era, Nintendo gamer...
They have still got several games to be released on PS3. MGS5, Tales of Zestiria and Persona 5 are just some of them. We are still waiting for even a gameplay vid of Persona 5. It will probably release in 2016 early so PS3 will be going strong at least until then.
Yeah, he stated facts but he cherry picked them to make it look like Nintendo is doing fine. The discussion at hand is the market performance of the Wii U. It launched a year early than the competitors and got outsold by one of them in a few months despite it being more expensive. The second competitor is also about to outsell it in a year despite being more expensive. They have sold only 7.25 million Wii Us in 2 years when PS4 and Xbone have shipped 13.5 million and 7 million in less than a ...
Wow! Sly-Lupin is really at good spinning and cherry picking facts! Nintendo have barely sold 3.625 million Wii U consoles a year since they launched. That is a horrible figure! Consoles usually sell 10 million units per year. PS4 has already passed them in less than a year and Xbone is about to pass them in a year. I think Nintendo will be able sell 25-30 million Wii Us at most. That will be the extent of their recovery since they completely squandered their one year lead.
Man, there were such high hopes for this game. It is really sad to see it turn in to a disaster like this. it just cant catch a break with the Xbone fanboys and the media having a field day with it. I dont understand what could have gone wrong. They must have been confident about it if they were releasinging it. I dont know what the sales are but they could have been much better without all the negative press.
Great for Sony, PS4 and its fans. Sony really needed a hit product like PS4. Maybe the PS4's success will also help give a new life to the Japanese games industry and we will start seeing more Japanese games this gen especially, JRPGs. I think PS4 has secured its position as the market leader this gen with that kind of lead and market share. The superior multiplatform performance and the proven track record of great exclusives till the end of the generation is the factors responsible for ...
*facepalm* Man open your eyes and read that article you linked carefully. You will feel quite embarrassed when you see it. The article is twisting and spinning the actual net profit. It says that they "gained" more than 200 million from before because they lost $90 is the previous quarters. They are just saying that they improved by more than $200 million since they were 90 million in the negative last quarter. That is not the actual net profit. The actual net profit is the Y14.3 bi...
