One is that MS gets money from the DLC sold as well. The second part you are missing is that this is only ONE of TWO exclusive DLC episodes coming.
So you take into consideration that the 50million invested played a signficant part in
a)console sales
b)increased sales over PS3 version
c)GTA franchise now leads the way on the MS console
d)profits from the two DLC packages themselves
So considering that MS will probably at lea...
You would have to ban the console. Everyone I know has about 10 different PSN accounts. And it takes all of 2 minutes to create another one if you don't have one.
I think you will find they are both right.
yet Microsoft continues to outsell the PS3. Sony's overall numbers were embarrassingly down from the same month last year for the latest data released.
Just wait until Lair(LOL) releases....Check
Just wait until Haze(LoL) releases....Check
Just wait until MGS4 releases...Check
Just wait until Final Fantasy XIII releases(DOH!!)...Check
Just wait until LBP releases....Check
Just wait until Resistance 2 releases....Check
Just wait until...
Keep in mind this is the same analyst that predicted the PS3 would already be passed the 360 at this point. Like I pointed out below, MS doesn't release figures like this and neither does Sony for that fact.
Plus, don't forget it still managed to eclipse the allmighty Killzone 2. You remember Killzone 2 right? It was that title that was supposed to finally get people to buy that PS3 since MGS4 failed to do so.
Reason I ask is because it was confirmed to be the most downloaded content on Live, but we didn't even know what that entails, because, once again, no numbers have ever been released for content like that on Xbox Live.
Considering Rockstar North is under contract restrictions with MS for this, they also probably have a "gag order" on releasing this sort of stuff for investor reasons and just for general common sense reasons.
However one area we can lo...
You might want to check your facts and figures again.
Hopefully you guys are just 10 year olds, because if not your ignorance really makes me worry about our education system.
Forget basic economic theory, this is pure common sense we are dealing with here. The PSN is NOT FREE to operate. Where do you suppose Sony gets this money to pay for the service? Ding, ding, ding...You are correct, US. We are paying for it when we
a)Buy a $600 dollar or $300 or $400 console. Operating expenses do get figured into cost ...
when you are old enough to go to college. You could even get away with remedial economics to learn "there is no such thing as a free lunch". Google it if you have to.
I am going to go out on a limb and say THIS AIN'T FREE NEITHER? We are paying for it, some of us dearly, but most of you don't understand how.
But there are also a surprisingly high number of used copies showing up in stores. That and supposedly there were high %s of preorders that got canceled according to several GameStop managers. If you remember Sony claimed there to be an absorbent #s of preorders so its not hard to believe those managers. Apparently several people must have been severely disappointed in the game's gameplay dynamics because of a poor control schematic. The horrid auto aim bug hurts as well.
Quit picking on my beloved company. Don't you get it? Sony can't do no wrong, people just pick on them. You know what I am telling my mommy on them.
are still not being picked up. Seriously though, what happened? I am not going by these numbers, I am going by the ones being reported of Gaf and Killzone.com. Someone was lying...BIG TIME
LOL how many stories did he confirm with anonymous "inside sources"?
Hiphop, you know you wouldn't be so annoying if you
a)didn't constantly bombard this site with your PWN MATERIAL submitted by YOURSELF
b)weren't so blatantly slanted with your coverage. I love Sony and I really like my PS2, PSP and PS3, but it is ridiculously obvious that you completely twist things to favor Sony. Go back and look at your headlines for the past year. ...
Think about it. Sony really has their hands tied, because they can't start charging for the PSN without some significant upgrades. This in turns really hurts potential growth especially considering companies are making big cuts in advertising. Advertising cuts tremendously hurts Sony online plan.
If you really think about it. And I know you won't because then you wouldn't be a fanboy. But having to pay $2-$4 month for a quality service that is constantly expanding and mo...
And you also might want to know that not all PS3 games have their own dedicated servers.
right? right? Well it doesn't cost any money to access it, I guess.
What have we been saying for a couple of months now leading up to Killzone 2's launch. It was the game of all games to get people to buying the PS3. It will prove the power, it will meet the hype. The people will realize, the people will buy. NO, THEY WON'T.
Again, what did Sony Europe say? duhh Killzone 2 preorders are breaking all sorts of record in Europe and abroad. Europe already has over 1.5 million preoders, and the U.S. should be similar. Remember all that?
...
Doesn't change the sales figures
And we have no idea what the numbers are because these numbers have never been released.
One thing is for certain though, with the 12 plus hours that the DLC brings to the table for GTA IV 360 owners ONLY it is only a WIN WIN SITUATION for MS consumers regardless of success or failure of this content. The fact of the matter is that because of MS's increased Marketshare that Sony has fumbled away they can take risks like this and offer their consumers many more options. <...
