I would say you're right on a "core" basis. Casuals are still playing last gen consoles. Just look at the sales for the PS2. It's actually still selling and selling well for a console that is 13 years old.

Casuals always wait till the price hits that sweet spot. When the 360 and PS3 hit that $99 and $150 price point, sales will rapidly increase from the casual market.

Right now....it's all about getting consoles into households that ...

Well child Labor is a tough subject. There are a lot of variables that need to be looked at as well as laws and regulations of other countries.

Generally child Labor is where a child is exploited by a company who has to work for an extremely low wage due to their families economical position within the countries standard of livings.

We can point fingers at countries who are the usual suspects but then what about right at home?

I really don't agree with this article.

As it stands:

The bare bones PS3 super slim is priced HIGHER then then the recently $50 price reduced Xbox 360.

CoD AND Halo 4 are both releasing just before the Holiday season where we already know Halo 4 is an exclusive Juggernaut title (which the author already states) and CoD has ALWAYS sold more on the 360.

The Author indicates that wonderbook is going to play a role in the cas...

You mean Nothing "BIGGER" that is worth this year.

However Borderlands 2 and Dishonored will get nods and possibly CoD BP2.

I am confident enough to say that I am only looking forward to Halo 4 from this point on and will be the main title I play until The Last of Us comes out, which I will complete in a week and then move back onto Halo 4.

I don't ask for much. I just want a JetMoto HD collection with multiplayer available over PSN.

That's all I ask for. PLEASE SONY....it's not even a reboot, just an HD update. I promise I won't ask for anything else from you this gen.

Please make it happen. I will be your best friend.... :)

@ Ockbar

That's a poorly thought out comparison.

Why would MS stop charging for XBL simply because it's competitors don't charge yet?

MS make hundreds of Millions off of XBL. Why would they choose to stop making money off of arguable their most profitable service?

@ showtimefolks

Ps3 certainly has been outselling the 360 "almost" on a yearly basis...but your comment:

"I guess ps3 has failed even though it has outsold xbox360 since launch?"

Is completely false.

Between 2006-2007 the 360 outsold the PS3. We are ALL aware of the poor sales the PS3 had due to cost. So this isn't even up for debate.

From 2007-2008 the 360 once again outsold the PS3...

I agree. I chose XCOM over Dishonored simply because I desperately needed something that wasn't a FPS or from a FP perspective.

I finished the game and was overall pleased. My only gripe was that the levels needed to be a bit more diverse. You couldn't differentiate the countries. Europe, North America, Asia....all seemed to look exactly the same. Line of Sight also had some issues...such as being able to shoot through walls at targets that there would be no way ...

I gotta admit there really seems to be a lot of lame Negative Sony Articles.

I can understand the articles about Sony's financial position or slow start Vita sales since it's something actually worth discussing and is a tangible topic that has metrics and can be measured; even though it does seem like every tom, dick and harry with a no name website has something to say negatively about Sony just because they think it's the "IN" thing.

@ GenericNameHere

The 360 had a year head start over the Wii and yet the Wii is in 1st place...or does the Wii being in first place not truly exist because the 360 released a year before it?

You say "MS Fanboys" don't like facts...but then YOU disregard sales that FACTUALLY Prove that the 360 is ahead of the PS3 which you THEN even confirm when you say What you should be mad at is that you are content at "2nd" place.

That is so very true.

Just look at the team the makes up 343i. Arguable the greatest collaboration of talent this gen.

MS seem to be collecting the available development talent....possibly building up for the next gen of gaming.

I agree. RE4 didn't have zombies.

I can't believe Dead Island is left off this list...instead they have plants vs. zombies? I also don't agree with the list saying "zombie games" yet is using DLC/mods which is just a game type and not the overall "game".

Games like RE1 and 2, Dead Rising, L4D1 and 2, The Walking Dead are all zombie "games". RDR just had a gamemode added on...and you needed to buy it. If you didn&#...

The game data is stored in a .bin file. Date and if the game was flagged to be an unregistered copy via truncated burn. iHas burners are capable of burning a proper copy without truncating but the data of the game inserted into the console is still recorded and held within the console. The moment your console connects to the internet, you are connected to XBL even if you don't have a gold membership and MS can read the game history.

@ DragonKnight

Any argument could be made for repurchases. That goes for Sony and Nintendo as well. We have no accurate proof as to how many 360's were repurchased due to RROD or E74 just like we have no idea how many PS3's were repurchased for YLOD or any other reason.

I do know that MS has a 3 year warranty while the PS3 only has a 1 year warranty. So the argument could be made that the PS3 has had more repurchases then the 360 since people could...

@ dedicatedtogamers

If a person is a "professional" eSports player, then they don't need the money from uploading game commentaries.

They make their living by winning tournaments and endorsements.

This is more towards those that are NOT making a profit from being a gamer and are simply just making a video on something game related using an MS IP and selling it to the community trying to make some money off it.

That looks very much like how XBL is set up. I see a lot of Metro going on there.

The last pic you can see the correlated frames as they fade away into the background, very much like the XBL dashboard prior to the new dash.

I think this looks great and really well done but undoubtedly influenced by XBL/Metro.

This user friendly UI design is just another example how PSN is growing and maturing into something greater. I can't wait to see ...
