As a ps3 fan, my inner fanboy screams yes when I read this article but alot of it is presumption. You can pre-sume all you want about microsoft sinking but we all know just how deep bill gate's pockets are. Sure bill leaving so abruptly is kind of perplexing but I doubt they are without his financial rapier firmly holstered. But microsoft needs to learn that buying everything out isnt a very wise marketing move. Sony is making huge innovative strides and the quality of games coming to the ps3...
Ok lets work this out. Yea the wii is selling like mad right now. But its all simple economics, can nintendo keep this up? I really dont know but I do know this. So far the biggest contributing factor to the wii's sales isnt the price, isnt the greatness of the console, it all comes down to the supply vs demand of the economy. Nintendo knows that a shortage of product will drive up demand, theres no excuse for not being able to keep up with demand when there are an abundance of the overly com...
He never said nor implied that the ps3 wasnt better then the 360. You're twisting his words around and this is exactly what starts flame wars. Of course he never said that the ps3 was better the 360, the only thing he is saying is that sony is more of a pioneer and more willing to go out on a limb to bring content to the consumer. Does this make sony better? I love sony but I dont think it makes them better it just shows the commitment to progress and the willigness to improve confidence in t...
I may or may not play this game, I liked snap when it came out on the n64. On the other hand my point is how quick people are to point out when sony borrows somthing from other companies and if wild earth launches first it will be another thing for ps3 haters to latch onto... I've played the wii and personally I dont like it. I've tried mario galaxy, zelda, excite truck and a couple others and none of them piqued my interest. Nintendo lost its appeal to me in the n64 days and have yet to give...
I agree why does someone have to come in and be the sour grapes and use his personal opinion to drive his review? I personally hate alot of reviews because instead of scoring a game based on technical achivements and features they use their personal opinions to write a review, its utterly annoying. If this jack ass keeps people from buying the expansion because he's b!t@Hing about the size of the level then he can just trade his ps3 for a red ring box 3 fix me. I've thirsted for a larger leve...
You're right the ps2 and psp have alot to do with it but sony has also announced huge earnings off of the DL content from the PSNstore despite the fact that only 3% of the stuff on there actually cost money. Also sony managed to cut production cost of the ps3 in half and it just wasnt a month ago. Nobody really knows when sony managed this but I suspect the price drop back in the fall as the most likely time. Why would sony take an even bigger loss on the ps3? They knew that it would spur sal...
Looks at 60 gig lovingly** I bought a 60 gig early last year and I absolutely and am in love with it... Is that weird... or..something. I hope not lol. But really I love my ps3 and I cant remember, nor do I want to remember, life before the ps3. Im buying a seagate 500 gig hard drive from my work(best buy) for like 50 bucks, gotta love discounts. Anyway I honestly think sony will release a larger hard drive version due to the inevitable release of play tv. If you dont think you need that kind...
Dont get me wrong, this guy is disturbing. I cant believe he would let himself take his daughters life. To me people like this dont deserve to live but I honestly dont think humans should reserve the right to take anothers life. Eye for and eye doesnt sit well with me. What is killing someone going to solve? I just really cant justify a death with another death in my mind. I think he should rot in a cell somewhere for the rest of his natural life and be reminded every day of just how far he w...
Thank you N4G for making your forums a safer place from console wars. Props to you guys and I love the website, your tireless scavenging of the internet brings all of the news we need to know into one place.
Hey mesh why dont you do some research for me. If you have the october issue of Game informer flip over to page 26, you should notice a GTAIV article. Now read through said article and notice that, yea a contributing factor to the delay was the ps3. Why is this? faulty hardware? no. Poorly designed processor? nope that isnt it. Rockstar's unfamiliarity of the cell? There we go. This is rockstars first release on the ps3, not only that but rockstar released a flop of a game that involved tabl...
Its blindingly apparent what microsoft is attempting to do. Microsoft is killing two birds with one stone. Microsoft can care less about the hd-formats they only care about the downloadable media service that they are now pouring their resources into. Microsoft knows that hd-dvd is dying, but they also know that if they keep it out their and confuse the consumers long enough that their download service can gain traction and take off, or so they think. People blindly support microsoft and clai...
Is it just me or does anyone else think that microsoft inflated these numbers? I'm willing to bet that they are including the copies of halo 3 that they gave away to people that upgraded to gold accounts. This hardly counts as sales but of course MS is quick on tooting their own horn... None the less COD4 was a fantastic experience and deserves all the recognition.
I dont trust gamerankings. They tend to be so nintendo biased. I played galaxy on three different occasions and told myself that I just had to get into it, it dissapointed me. This game failed to draw me in like the mario's of yore. Mario 64 was the last mario game that took my breath away... But regardless I played no more heroes as well and it just didnt do anything for me. For me the motion control is becoming a tired concept. I guess the wii just doesnt appeal to me, trust me I tried real...
Dude dont even start this technological advancement bs. America has consistently been ahead of the rest of the world as far as innovation and technology go. Tvs, computers, phones, cell phones, hell even electricity were all pioneered here. Radio's were born here, atomic bombs. Even low tech stuff like the cotton gin, and mass production. Just because the japanese are electronically horny and spend trillions on electronic gadgets and innovation doesnt make them more advanced. There is more to...
Hmm its still a surprise to me how anti ps3 loyalists can take things so horribly out of context. Notice the keyword in that statement by one guy(not rockstar as a whole) in which he says the ps3 was PARTLY to blame. This statement lends itself to other problems arising. Which is where the disk space and hard drive problems for the 360 version also contributed. Back in october when the game was supposed to release Game Informer had an article in which they reported that the 360 demo they watc...
Dude seriously shut up. It was bundled with the 80gig version, which contrary to popular belief is selling better thent the 40 gig in some regions. Sony is no where near in trouble, all of these people spouting that the ps3 is having dreary sales and is in trouble but you fail to notice that the ps3 has better sales for its first year on the market then the 360 had in its first year. As of right now the ps3 is a little over 7 million units behind the 360, the ps3 can gap that in a year if the...
Here is a response for you. This isnt very good news, the day that you have to start celebrating 2nd rate exclusive because of the lack of AAA exclusives then you know its bad.
You know its funny to me how alot of ps3 haters out there say that graphics arent everything whenever we see ps3 games that look better, but then as soon as some shady pics appear on the internet (those horrible turok comparisons come to mind) those very same people show up and tout this as a win for the 360. In an age whenever all photography is digital and there a enumerous versions of photo editors floating aroung how are we to belive these photos.. What credibility do thes people posting ...
Thats not all folks..... Metal gear solid isnt a fps einstein, its a 3rd person action/stealth game.... We're aslo banking on Little big planet, Final fantasy XIII, Gran turismo 5, afrika, GoW3 (hopefully this year but doubtful), white knight chronicles, infamous.... and so many more. Not to mention all of the killer cross-plat games set to release this year....
Yes xbox live silver accounts can access the dl content... but wait there's another side to this story. You're forgetting that silver accounts now have to wait a week after the content launches because microsoft wants the make it seem like a benefit to "upgrade" to the paid gold membership. So unless you're paying the subscription fees for gold you're not getting any of this content this week. Hmmm makes ya think....
