99% of the people here who keep saying "Sales don't matter" or "Quality over quantity" are exactly the same people who were screaming about how wonderful LBP/Killzone 2/ Heavenly Sword/ Lair etc sales would be and how PS3 would destroy its competition with these games...
Hipocrisy at its worst.
Because it is a good video with some valid points supported by FACTS. Seriously.
Nothing is constant. MS used to be 'evil' whereas Google stood for 'coolness'. Nw Gooogle's "Don't be evil' sounds hypocritical for many pleople and everybody can't wait to get MS's Windows 7 which is a surprisingly good OS. MS had no commercial chance with the first Xbox against Sony's PS2. Now, MS is beating Sony and Nintendo is beating them both. Apple is actually becoming another competitor in the gaming market...
Things change fast and that's so interesting about it al...
Tomb Raider series is a true adventure game where you need to use your brain (well, at least occasionally). Uncharted is a great game but in fact it was also just a mindless shooter to a large extent.
All the TR games from Crystal Dynamics were good or even very good. I hope it will not change with Eidos becoming Square Enix Europe.
It's official then.
Xbox 360 is way more expensive and way more people prefer it to PS3. The sales facts are merciless.
And the gap is growing.
..........
Seriously there is no other way than sarcasm to answer such BS stories so totally far from the facts.
Basically Microsft owned SONY this year at E3 to an extent where even Greenberg wanted to cheer SONY reps and fanboys up with some warm words.
Personally I have no interest in CoD or GH but their impact on the market is undeniable and Activision is one of the biggest publishers these days.
The guy's statemenet shows how enormous changes this market has undergone since the PlayStation 2 hegemony. Wi ruling the market, Xbox leaving PS3 far far behind, publishers threatening to stop supporting a SONY console... Times change.
Comparing PS3 to Dreamcast may be a little exaggerated as SONy is making money from ...
The guy forgot to write SONY invented the wheel first. Also that Wii-mote was actually SONY's idea and other things like this. His text would be even more hilarious.
The more so anti-Natal BS texts the more obvious it becomes how successful this technology is going to be for Microsoft. It's innovatie and new no matter what the fanboys say.
It looks at least as beautiful as GT5 and it's reasonable to assume it is going to be much better gamewise - Forza 2 already had a much better physics and all than Prologue.
Still, only when the both games arrive we can be 100% sure.
A few words of truth and SONY fangirls lose their minds.
Funny.
The level of idiocy among SONY fanboys is limitless.
I suspected it before but the reaction to this "news" has simply gone far beyond any acceptable rules. I really can't imagine how stupid a fanboy must be to believe even for a while in this crap.
The only justification is that SONY fanboys are extremeley upset FORZA series has simply become so much better than GT series.
The Wii-mote ripoff sent any fierce message? Really?
That's funny. The only fierce messages are those from those who keep trying to diminish Natal's huge impact. SONY's wand is much too late and much too unoriginal to make any difference.
Natal looks a lot more promising.
PS3 wand is just an upgraded Wii-mote. Natal already works with traditional games (Burnout). Also it can have a much bigger impact on the casual market - you can use it with both games and Xbox interface. Natal is simply a much more universal experience.
It may be the first MGS I will enjoy. Kojima makes very boring games with long films instead of worthy gameplay and the story is profound enough to only impress those who do not read any books or watch any good movies.
Hopefully it will be the first MGS without all the idiotic, boring and way too long films and crappy old fashioned gameplay. A decent hack'n'slash seemes wuite a good idea.
"BD accounted for 10.5% of total packaged-media sales revenue. "
After about two years on the market only 10%...
Poor, poor, very poor SONY...
I love my DS but I think they are right. They should always be afraid of competition. If any company is closer to this truth it's Nintendo. SONY was absolutely not afraid of Nintendo this gen. and they got their a$$ handed back to them by Nintendo. If the guys from Kyoto want to remain so immensely successful they should be afraid.
Maybe "afraid" is the wrong word here. They just should watch iPhone very carefully.
Yeah, that's why PS1 and PS2 are such pieces of crap. :-)
Because in the world economy SHIPPED basically means the same as SOLD. Shops do not take what they can't sell regularly. Not going into details, I have no time for this - this is just a basic principle of economy.
So when they say they have more tham 30 mln. SHIPPED it just means sth very close to SOLD. And your emotional approach cannot change this basic principle of economy,
Of course Nintendo is not a game company any longer.
I use their Wii as cooker and my NDS is a fridge...
Geez, what a stupid article...
It looks to me the problme is not the ads now where you can hardly find any and even so you can very easily skip them. The point is many people are afraid how the whole advertising on NXE might evolve in the future.
