because ps2 did even better than ps1 and all consoles were all disc-based. Sony needs to push hard for America. They already have EU and JPN. Ps3 is doing wonderful and only need to sell 1.8 million every quarter for the next 11 quarters to hit 100 million sold. I've owned every playstation and every Xbox. Playstation brand it closely tied to gaming. Explain to me how Microsoft and start any better than they started this generation.

Zerbra is correct. If a guy start out with a 25 cents and makes three times as much, he only has 75 cents. Microsoft could only go up from 25 million worlwide.
A console's sales doesn't continue from where it's predecessor left off. It starts with a brand new slate, otherwise Wii U would still be considered dominating. The fact is Microsoft blew their lead trying to cater to the casual market. From November 25, 2005 until November 16, 2006, Microsoft had 100% mark...
It matters to Sony because Ps3 still has another 2 years 9 months before before it hits it's 10 year life cycle. Ps3 is about to go on sale in 3rd world countries. Sony still has yet to put the ps3 at the magical $199.99 price point. Ps3 will become Sony's 3rd home console to achieve 100 million sold.
Sony only needs to sell 1.8 million a quarter from here on out to reach 100 ps3 sold.

you should finish the entire quote.
"1280x1080 with 2x quincunx (QAA) when the 1080p mode is engaged. So we're not seeing anything like native 1080p resolution here, but you are getting a 50 per cent increase in the number of pixels rendered."
It's not FULL HD but it is 1080p. FULL HD is 1920 x 1080p. But the number of horizontal lines running along the "Y" axis are indeed 1080.
compared to the 720p version there ...
@ Panadamobile, look at Gran Turismo 5. The reason it's on such a big disk is because there are two different games. There is the 720p version with no screen tearing and 1080p with slight screen tearing. I'm referring the the 4k resolution, Eyefinity resolution, and 2560 x 1600. You aren't understanding the difference between upscale resolution and native resolution.
@Irishguy95,
If the source of the material is natively 1080p then why wouldn'...
because the engine the game was built for was only 720p natively. It's like taking a running a 720p tv show on a 4k tv. All people are doing is just upscaling the image. So unless the engine the game is running in is 4k, all these things aren't comparable.
PC heads like to boast about how there PC's are running games at all these resolutions. It's just like running a standard definition image on a 1080p TV. You're just stretching the image. You're not...

you should give that a read. Also none of my information was compromised and I recieved a full year of PS+. Don't know what exactly you were trying to accomplish by saying that. I have an XBOX LIVE GOLD account too.
Ps3 reports 77 million sold
http://gamer.blorge.com/201...
"Sony reports that 6.8 million (PS3+PS2s) have been sold during the quarter putting the lifetime PS3 sales to around 77 million, in line with IDC’s estimate earlier last month. PS3 sales continue to surpass Microsoft’s Xbox 360 sales, which is around 75.9 million as r...
1. If these included ps2 sales then Sony would just add it towards 150+ million ps2 sales.
2. They would be lying to investors, which is a federal crime
3. IDC said that at the end of 2012 Xbox360 was at 76 million and ps3 was 77 million

Microsoft has the market share they had now was because they rushed to market with a faulty product. People denying RROD having something to do with Microsoft's numbers are should know something. RROD weren't covered under warranty until July 2007. Xbox360 launched November 25 2005. So for a nearly 2 years, RROD wasn't covered. Gamers have no alternative until November 16, 2006. If you console had RROD you had to trade it in towards the purchase of a new one.
Xbox360 had year headstart in Japan and North America. It have an even larger lead in Europe by a year and 4 months. PS3 is now sitting at 80.4 million and xbox360 is at 77.2 million respectively. Xbox360 had easier architecture, always cheaper than ps3, advertising, and etc. Microsoft thought Kinect and casual were the way to go and it didn't work out for them. Get back to the games.
You have Rare, have them halt developing "Kinect centric" games. They should b...
IF you still think sales don't matter to gamers then you should talk to the Wii U crowd. They are getting hardly any support come next gen. The excuses have ranged from: "It's not a next gen system" to "Wii U user base is too small".

to use their brains. Xbox360 and ps3 both use shipped numbers because that's the most accurate way for them to monitor sales. There is no ps2 production at all meaning there have been no shipments.

Meaning in 2013 only thing they've been shipping are ps3's. To say that Sony is inflating Ps3's numbers would mean they're lying to their investors which is a cri...
as some kind of excuse for some time now. Sony can't monitor PS2 sales because they don't ship PS2 anymore. They track they numbers based on how many units they ship. So if it says 80.4 million, then it's completely ps3. Since we all know ps2 is no longer in production.
No matter how much you try to spin it.
it's still 80.4 million ps3
77.2 million xbox360
Lead is 3.2 million now.
A game console being able to stream live gameplay without the use of a HD-PVR. I, as a gamer, consider that a huge selling point. No longer will I have to try to recreate and incredible moment in games. You could watch the top guy/girl on the leaderboards live. Study their habits, and dethrone them eventually. I just think you're failing to see the dramatic impact this could have in gaming.
Sony is screwing up but then makes a plea with the developers not to screw it up. So which is it? Sony or the developers that will screw it up. Ultimately if the developer doesn't want spoilers all over psn then they have a choice not to utilize the "share" button. Sony is leaving in the hands of devs and publishers. If you have a problem with it then don't buy their game. I'm sure in the end, they'll warm up to allow streaming when it starts affecting their sales.
COD Chost? We're already counting multiplatforms as exclusives again. EA skipping ps4 to support Microsoft, when ps3 install base is larger than xbox360, is unlikely. Project Gotham Racing usually launches with an xbox system, not Forza. Nvidia and every leak out there show ps4 being better than xbox720.
I have Skype on my Computer, phone, and TV. Why would it being on my console become a game changer? Developers are keeping the BUZZ going for ps4, praising the system. In...
