Agreed!
Have you ever wondered why their overpriced?
What if half of gamers decided to only buy used.. 50% buy the game and the devs get money the other 50% buy it off the first and the devs get f*#ck all!
The people who will refuse to buy-in to next gen because of this won't be missed by developers as they mostly likely wouldn't have bought games new anyway!
Used games will only push up prices, push devs to produce more games in a quicker ...
I partly agree though it wouldn't stop anyone else doing it, it would only stop them doing it the way Sony have patented it, and then only if the patent is accepted!
Btw it'd still be a 25% increase in developers hands if it got leant or re-sold to only 4 people and only 1 would have gone on to buy it at full RP / New #ForTheNumericallyChallenged
Calm down folk... t'is just a patent, one of many and most probably one that won’t be implemented, and even if it is, we don't know how!
Despite myself, on occasions, buying used, I understand the damage that does to the industry and I don’t blame them for wanting it to be this way. Other platforms, especially now cloud / online games are at the forefront (I’ll include Steam as it’s still tied to your account – at the moment!) preclude second hand sales!
Ground Zeroes for 360 and Phantom Pain same game but for PS3 which will be interlinked with Metal Gear V for the Vita!
I can see something like this happening given Kojima's excitement at Vita and his comments previously about cross play!
Colour me excited whatever it is, at the end of the day its a game and I'm a gamer.. Result!! :-)
Great numbers.. I'd like to know the UK numbers too as there have been some great deals, some as low as £111 (if you trade in controller + game)!!

Because its games will be 720p?
If the next gen is going to last until 2023 then I'd say both next gen consoles will 'minimum' have to support 4k video.. hell even YouTube does!
As for games, again, if MS or Sony envisage 10 year cycles their next gen consoles will need to support it even if its in the same manner 1080p (native) is supported on current gen systems i.e. for Indie tiles and last gen remakes!
As for it'll never take off because 4k TV's cost too much, the sa...
As expected from 'vgchartz.com'!
All in I'd say that including RLOD/YLOD and year head start PS3 and 360 numbers are at this point pretty much even, which is quite an achievement given the pricing entry point for the PS3!
Am glad that both sides are doing well as otherwise Sony may have lazed in their glory but instead have been releasing many great exclusives and innovative games this generation, Flower, Journey etc.

Where was my invite... Hmph! :(
Ok I concede, I don't like the new store the disagrees were right and I was wrong! lol
And Okami HD, a re-make of a 6 year old PS2 game currently has a Metacritic score of 90 whilst Halo 4 has a Metacritic 87, let that burn in your fanboy soul xbox drone! LOL
You seem to hold to much faith in Metacritic.. that’s a sure-fire way to miss some great games, instead you might want to just try playing the games and coming to your own opinion rather than reading about other peoples!
Back on subject, well done PD! :)
I like the new store!
@MadMen what does where I live matter?
What does matter is this false interpretation impressed on the lesser knowledgeable public that the PS3 doesn't sell as well as the Xbox360 when the actual global year-on-year figures suggest otherwise.
This maters because if this falsehood becomes a matter of 'fact' to the public in general then it could effect PS3 sales which could impact Sony’s investment in their gaming division.. the repercussions of thi...
The PS3 outsells the 360 in Europe
The PS3 outsells the 360 in Far East
The PS3 outsells the 360 in Middle East
The 360 outsells the PS3 in America
I agree.. no news here, 360 outsells the PS3 in America but the PS3 outsells the 360 in the WORLD!
I'd pick it up for £10, so am glad to hear it!

Well despite being based on somewhat old suggested dev kit specs the creator of FXAA (an Nividia employee) pretty much sums up his thoughts on next-gen.

Given that the more recent dev kit specs do not stray far from this (as far as we know) I kind of agree.. Whether you do will depend if you relate MS's current stance on 'casual...
