I think the statue alone is worth the price. I collect resin statues and I can tell you that high quality statue can cost up to 500 dollars easily. This assassins creed seems to be a nice looking piece. Probably made of PVC.
I understand that the number is a prediction, but I would think that domestically a game like TLOU would easily sold a million + in the United states alone.
Actually in America, foreign product outsell american products. The top 3 selling cars in America are Japanese, the Top selling devices like TV's, Bluray players, etc are Japanese. The only thing that sells really well here is the Apple brand. Other than that I cant really think of anything else.
Actually 700,000 units sold in the U.S is very low for a very high rated game like this. I just cant understand how a game like Call of Duty can outsell some of the best game like the last of us.
Its ridiculous that COD games which are the same iteration after iteration sells millions in days and unique game like TLOU and Tomb Raider only sell in the hundred of thousands.
Because its Apple's rule
If you buy a Iphone 3G, its the law to buy Iphone 3GS because the "S" stands for Special. Eventhough its the same thing.
At $499 sells out this week since the it was available for Pre order but imagine if it was at $399? It would have sold out a few days after it was available for pre-order.
why in hell will the Wii U be bundle with the 3DS?? The Wii U already have its own screen whats the point of having a 3DS bundle?
Have you seen the weekly sales report lately my friend? yes the PS vita is not selling like the 3DS, but it consistently outselling the Wii U every week even the damn PSP is outselling the Wii U. If anything, the Wii U is dying a slow death. I hope not tho but at the rate that its going its not looking good.
Sony would be smart to have a PS4 bundled with the PS Vita. I have two PS vitas (one for the wife and one for myself). If SOny offer a bundle at a good price, i will drop the money to get a third Vita! I will wait a while for the xbox One to see how it plays out.
Currently my Wii U is sitting at home un-touched for the last 2 months (I unplugged). I won it through a raffle and gave it to my wife. She's a hardcore Mario fan and so far she didnt even bother finishing the new Mario...
The problem with your idea is that if developers release a new game for the Wii U and it doesnt sell, then they will lose a lot of money. This is what all this debate is about. The only thing that keep the Wii U going is their first party games, but the problem is that Wii U adoption are so low that they are not making any profits.
Hopefully the new Monster Hunter will help push the Wii U sales.
If they are struggling now, how can they compete against PS4 and XBox...

Im not sure but I think once you log in to your account on any PS4 you can play it while you download it. But if you decided to allow the game to complete the download before playing then you might not need online connection because the game will be on the hard drive. Not sure i might be wrong.
MGS4 was bug free because 75% of the damn game were CGI cut scenes. I'm not saying any bad about MGS4, the game was awesome but sitting through cut scenes after cut scenes was a little tedious.
I have a feeling that Final fantasy 15 will be very similar to devil may cry mechanics.
Thats because Fantasy 13 was the only damn Final fantasy game of this generation. It doesnt look like they had a choice.
Only problem is that the Xbox 360, PC dont have a second screen. This is what made Zombie U a fun game. The PS3 and PS vita is a possible combo but I dont know if Ubisoft will want to invest more money into porting for any other console. Remember the architecture for the Wii U is much more different then the PS3.
It would, but I think at this point Square Enix may want to make as much money off a Remake as they can. Doing cross buy will cut down on their profits. In all honesty, I rather pay again for a HD version of old Final fantasy games then play FF13 series.
Maybe you need to do some more research on cloud computing. Like you say it is for the future and currently the future is not here yet. Cloud Computing requires a large bandwidth, something that 75% of the people in the united States do not have yet. In order for for games to use cloud computing on the fly you need a bandwidth of 50mb/s or more with no issues. Look it up, there have been lots of research into this.
What would you expect people who dont have that type of bandwidth to ...

You funny... PS4 is Gimped? THe xbox One was gimped from the beginning. Microsoft gave you a weaker console and have the balls to charge $100 more then the PS4 and you gave them the money with no hesitation while bent over and taking it up the rear.
What is a gaming console? its to play game right, why in the hell would i need a freakin camera? If i want to look at myself play games, i would put a mirror in front of me.
Easy there buddy. What makes you think she would even consider "doing" you in the first place? I dont think your right hand even "do" you. So you can take your wet (and disturbing) dream to another appropriate site.
@hicken
What you mean "...People didnt give the game a chance."? You know how many copies of FF13 and FF13-2 were sold? FF13 have sold almost 5 million copies to date and FF13-2 has currently sold about 3 million copies to date. People gave these two games a chance and the majority of the consensus of both games are negative. I praise you that you liked the game but you are just in the minorities.
It would be so freakin funny if the PS Vita takes off once the PS4 is released. Until then this guy can prepare to eat crow.
I'm always dumbfounded by representatives from companies making stupid comments like this. As a game developer, are you not worried that you will may be working with the people you just talk trashed too?
