Well hopefully going forward things start to improve marketing wise. You're right, some great games often got ignored. Seems like Naughty Dog gets all the attention. They did advertise the InFamous games quite well if I recall.
Halo is a system seller for Microsoft. Gran Turismo is a system seller for Sony's console. What game is a system seller for Vita? Nintendo has many games that are million sellers on the 3DS.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 – 5.96 million
Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 2.73 million
Mario Kart 7 – 7.73 million
Super Mario 3D Land – 8.0 million
Paper Mario: Sticker Star – 1.83 million
Mario Tennis Open – 1.07 million

It's not karma, it's the cost of doing business in todays times. Remember when Sony had Sqaure-Enix, Rockstar, Namco and many other 3rd party publishers knocking on their door?
The days of 3rd party exclusivity have deteriorated over the years and there are two main reasons for that. One is the cost. If you limit your userbase the chances of recouping those costs lessen. The second reason is competition. The days of a system like the PS2 dominating the field have also...
The problem with this site isn't that it's littered with Sony fans (I'm one myself), it's the fanboys who do nothing but argue and defend everything like their life depends on it.
How many times do we see these fanboys go off-topic and not actually discuss the articles written? How many times do we see the fanboys look throughout the comment section making sure the company they support isn't being attacked and go after that person which continues the downw...
Root,
"bashing peoples opinions down and commenting on nearly everyone single comment of users who don't agree with you"
I keep asking you to show me this but you provide no proof of me actually doing that.

That's you calling someone a PR guy for liking the demo for Dead Space 3. See, I show p...
This and Gran Turismo 6 would be two great titles to show off the new hardware.
Naughty Dog probably has better things to do that to revive an old franchise like this. Resistance 3 was actually better than Resistance 2, it just didn't sell well. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time was also an awesome game. So there is no correlation of them having a steady decline in quality. You are also most likely prejudging Fuse without playing the full game, but what else is new?

"If it doesn't relate to the article then it's an off topic comment"
It's no more off-topic than your earlier comment about IGN giving it a low review and suggesting reviews before that don't count.
"I love how you get so worked up over someones opinion, seriously let it go man. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion as you"
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY gets worked up as much as you. You talk and talk ...
Why Sony, so that they can limit it's availability? Why not give it back to Insomniac?
Root,
How can anyone take your opinion seriously when it's all over the map? Let's not acknowledge favorable reviews until a big site like IGN rates it lower but in the case with DMC none of the reviews count because of how they review it.
Face it Root, you'll find any reason to support your own argument. If you don't like the game then don't buy it. I don't get why you have to keep saying the same things over and over again. Do you go to Justi...
I think that was what some people were worried about, them taking away the scariness of it. I'll play it soon and make my own judgements. I don't go off of just demo's. I've seen enough movie trailers to know they are aimed to get your attention and don't really tell the full story.
insomnium2,
The point is forums are not the deciding factor to what actually happens at retail.
"It was an easy choise based of facts back then and today it's even more so. It's not even a competition or a question of brand loyalty. It's the only sane and objective choise if you only get to choose one console. "
Actually no, it's not based on facts. The Xbox 360 came out earlier so people could have adopted that system earlier because of that. People could have preferred Live. Or they could have wanted to enjoy playing next generation games for...
"Pitchford explains that choice changes their thinking"
Even if people had all the consoles they could still favor one over the others. What he's trying to suggest is that by limiting choice you will gravitate more towards the console you bought.
You ever notice in the past how games that used to kind of compete with one another on different systems had this feud? Way back it was Sonic versus Mario, now it's games like Gran Turismo versus Fo...
There is no beef unless the Wii U version suffers from attention now being allocated to other hardware. This could be in relation to patches, updates and DLC.
3rd party exclusives have become a rarity now. There's too much potential for increased sales to port it. It kind of made sense back in the PS2 days where that system totally dominated. Now unless they want to partner with the publisher or pay a royalty to keep it exclusive it just doesn't make as much sense fro...
1nsaint,
How can they be losing sales on a product that has yet been announced? If the rumors are true then yes, they could lose sales. However as of right now they are just that, rumors.
Like I said earlier, unless Microsoft's stock suddenly takes a tumble they won't worry about what people are saying on forums in response to rumors. It could also be a ploy to get fan reaction but that seems likely since consumers won't want to just give up somet...

Back in 2010 they said roughly half were Gold members. They have about 40 million in total now so I was just basing it off of old data about it being half. They have never had exact figures for paid memberships.
@matgrowcott,
No he hasn't. The amount he has talked about this game he could have played it 3 times over. Oh well, I guess he still thinks he fighting some cause since Capcom must read his comments. Just like EA and Ubisoft.
Reboots happen all the time in the movie industry. No wonder the gaming community is often not taken seriously.
Why would Microsoft confirm or deny it when they can sit back and laugh at all the reactions on the internet? Do you think they care about all the negativity they have received over the years since they announced they were getting into the console market? People thought the Xbox 360 would be a failure, not be supported beyond 4 years like the original. They thought Kinect wouldn't sell. They thought the lack of AAA exclusives would be the death of them.
People will always...
Can you imagine a PS4 release date within a month after the announcement? How about at least one of the following;
1. PS3 official price drops to $199
2. Vita drops to $199
3. New bundle with both for $399 with one game plus a memory card.
4. PS4 price is announced for $349 or $399.
5. PS4 comes out earlier than expected.
6. They show a brand new ip from Guerilla for the PS4.
7. Gran Turismo 6 to be released later this year for ...
