a Wii U under the tree for my son. The reason why this wouldn't sell the wii U is and it would the ps3 is because of studios. It's that plain and simple. Nintendo has very little third party support so they have to rely on first party. They only release games every like year and a half. Sony has more first party studios and Sony London studio is dedicated to stuff like this (eyepet).
to developers and developers matter to gamers. It decides ultimately, if your console get's their game or not. Just like how the Wii U is being shut out of GTA5 right now. The install base just isn't there to justify spending resources on a port. Sales also determine whether that game you loved so much, gets a sequel. Your favorite studio might be shut down if the game fails (zipper interactive). So to say that sales don't matter is, on all front, a load of crap. Because at the en...
"roughly" about 1 out of 9 ps3 owners bought a copy of Gran Turismo 5.
I don't know if your a VGChartz troll but even Aaron Greenberg laughed @ VGChartz.

Now why would he mock them even when they overtrack his console. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all sale to retailer. It's then the job of the retailer to move them out of the stores. If the company sends out an order for re...
start until we start receiving next gen (Games). Seeing as how GTA5 isn't going to be on the (wii U) means that this generation will continue until the other big two launched. Don't forget Nintendo just launched Wii mini after Wii U. So even the Big "N" thinks this console is still going otherwise they would have release another Wii.
for Gamestop when the xbox360 launched November 25, 2005. I can tell you for a fact that RROD was not covered until about (edit: year and a half) later. It happened to me and alot of other people. All you could do was trade it in as a broken console to put towards the cost of "Buying" a new one. For those to deny this should no longer comment because your thought processes are irrational and based in an alternate reality. That claim is very much true. Google/Youtube is all the proof...
DonMingos. I understand that these are just guesses. But was are these guess based off of? NPD is not accurate because it doesn't account for online retailers. It's impossible to track EU because of so many different regions. Like Up2013 said, it's best just to wait for numbers from the big three, themselves. Anything outside of that is just outright speculation at best.
It's no secret that I love Playstation. I just don't see how your comment received disagrees. There was nothing wrong with it in the least. I'm sure the reason solely lies in the fact that you said 360. There was nothing "fanboyish" or irrational about your statement. I'm actually getting it on Ps3 because it's my system of choice. This article it stupid because it ultimately comes down to which console you have, or which system has most of your friend on it. Onl...
Even though Sony is probably going to show that they passed Microsoft (again) people are going to think they're adding in January because they're won't report their quarterly reports until early Feburary while Microsoft will post theirs mid-January. Just like what happened this quarter. But yeah, it's better just to wait until the quarterly reports come out.
there is no point in showing facts to people. Sony has never quoted worldwide number mid quarter simply because they don't have those numbers. It is impossible for Sony to track EU given all the different regions, that's why Europe doesn't have an official sales trackers like NPD(USA) or Media Create(JPN).
Sony didn't release their Quartely reports until Nov 1st. They didn't make the actual announcement until Nov 16th. Like I tell alot of people, go add th...
were saying Heavy Rain isn't a game and was just quicktime events. Tectile Games used the exact formula Quadractic Dreams used with Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy. The fact is that Walking Dead uses QTE too, but that doesn't come up at all. I guess it's because Walking Dead is available for Xbox360/ps3. I guess all the unwarranted hatred towards Heavy Rain (by 360 crowd) turned out to be just jealousy and envy. The hypocrisy continues. But Walking Dead is enjoyable.
statement actually makes a hell of alot of sense. Problem is manufacturing costs usually takes about a year or two to reduce. I don't think Sony has the luxury of waiting that long. I'm actually more concerned about the interface of the next Playstation console (not in a bad way). We already know Microsoft going to probably have a "voice command feature" to go along with the next xbox interface (Kinect built in). I hoping Sony follows more along the lines of Google Now. Rega...
up until a certain point. Wii U's Zombie U left me with that "Resident Evil dog jumps through glass" feel. It may not be for everyone but I certainly enjoyed watching streams of it. I just don't get the hypocrisy of my fellow ps3 gamers. We hated when people did "Ps3 is doomed" articles but jump on the "wii U is dead" bandwagon. Is the pot calling the kettle black?
Now when it comes to ps3 exclusives, we clearly disagree. Killzone 2 was t...
there was a little bit of a huss and fuss about Starhawks main character being "African American" and whether a games sales would be affected. I think, at this day in age, gamers tend not care about something as trivial as the protagonist's color of skin. I'm glad that was validated with Walking Dead game. As long as you have an excellent story and world to immerse the player into, that main character could be blue or green. The whole Far Cry "racism" thing is hogw...
I hope they incorporate some sort of Google Now/Siri/S Voice feature into the ps4 interface. Being able to accept/deny friend request simply by saying it would be awesome. Speech to text would almost eliminate the need for a keypad. I would enjoy something like google cards inside a SEN universe.
example: "Orbis, what's the latest DLC for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zero?"
"Orbis, launch game"
"Orbis, send message to...."
"Despite its excellent line up of quality exclusive AAA titles, the PlayStation 3 has struggled to reach Xbox 360 sale figures. It is pivotal for Sony Computer Entertainment's success in the gaming industry that they launch the PlayStation 4 ahead of Microsoft's next Xbox, and with an arsenal of AAA launch titles. Otherwise we just might see the PlayStation go the way of the Dreamcast."
There is no way in hell Playstation would ever end up like Dreamcast. Sega ...

Next gen simply because they have an eye for talent. Media Molecule was a wonderful investment. Naughty Dog stick with Sony. I'm also pretty sure Sony is going to acquire ThatGameCompany given the immense positive reviews from "Journey". I hope they incorporate some sort of Google Now/Siri/S Voice feature into the ps4 interface. Being able to accept/deny friend request simply by saying it would be awesome. Speech to text would almost eliminate the need for a keypad. I would enjo...
that there is a very slim chance that we will see any other console achieve the success that ps2 did. The Nintendo Wii probably had the best shot of doing so but that looks highly unlikely given the they launched Wii U. I also wouldn't say last place, according to last offical numbers released ps3 is ahead by 200k as of September 30th. Also ps3 is the only system who has yet to hit the $200.00 sweet spot. Given everything that happened with playstation this gen, the fact that they still m...
what you're talking about is actually worked the other way around. You would be able to play your gba games on the Gamecube via expansion dongle that came with pokemon emerald or ruby. This is being able to play your console games on a handheld. Nice try though.
