Home consoles are no long the thing in Japan. Especially new ones without an interesting catalog of Japanese-specific games.

Pros:
Nintendo system
Cons:
stationary system
lack of Japanese games
high price
Result:
low sales

as for Vita...

Pros:
handheld system, successor to PSP
Cons:
deficit of Japanese games
high price
Result:
low sales

yep, 100% agreed!

Someone already looked way more competent years ago...

they are still supporting the game, more characters and a new stage incoming this month

they also have standards they want to maintain - i think the game was greatly below Sony's standard and seemed like a dissapointment - crappy graphics and overall presentation stood out the most - definitely not something you honor PS fans with.
A link somewhere above shows the Santa Monica Title Fight demo - that's how it should have looked.
Edit: here it is http://www.youtube.com/watc... I go...

I think S-E decided that they need to go in an opposite direction to that their fans want them to go.

The reason?

Obviously S-E stumbled out of the gate and failed this generation: FF13 and FF14. The former turned out to be an overwhelming task development-wise and was further hampered along the way by the betrayal of Sony (going multi-platform). The latter was very low quality, rushed and released prematurely.

The result was that fans wanted...

Motorstorm 4

I think, in light of the September GTAV, it's too early for next-gen to launch in November - remember that MGS Ground Zeros, Lightning Returns FF13 are confirmed ps360 games so late 2013 is still packed with big releases for current-gen.
There's also the question of Call of Duty, I doubt Activision is going to skip this year's 20+ million sales.

I'm guessing PS4 launches Feb 20 2014, a year from reveal, with perhaps a Japanese "test" launch i...

" Presently the XNA Game Studio is not in active development and DirectX is no longer evolving as a technology. "

What the hell?!

5v5 would be really satisfying IMO

don't worry, PS4 is a year and 19 days from here

I think the fact that Rockstar came out of nowhere and announced the GTAV september release might have had something to do with Sony making the move the next day.

I have no idea what the connection might be...
Anyone?

I also have a feeling that the "delay" of GTAV was super awesome news to Sony, great enough to make them pull the triger on the new generation so early. Perhaps this is what Sony's been waiting for, and as soon as GTA's...

Well said.

Weren't there also issues with most PSN preordered games in the US?

Nice boxart.

But yea, that the hell? why has rockstar announced the GTAV release at the same time Sony has their for KZM and why is it the same day?

PS4 launching March 2014 at best C-O-N-F-I-R-M-E-D

This announcement makes next-gen systems in 2013 inviable and plainly absurd.

This is very good news for Sony, in line with their longetivity strategy for the PS3

well it kinda is, but that's justified by the limited red color

500gb + a $60 new AAA game is a standard for $300 from Sony (AC3 bundle and previous bundles like the 320gb mw3 or uc3). this means they are including GoW Saga for $50 :P means you get charged $10 for the color :D
