It was always known that there were millions of Ps2 owners waiting for the right price to buy a Ps3. Some could afford the $600, others the $400, others the $300, etc.
Clearly, many Ps2 owners can afford the $300 machine. Many more will be able to afford the $200 in two years time. So, it's obvious that Sony has reached the right pricing to guarantee very good sales from now on - unlikely always 500 000 units a week though.
But it makes you wonder how this generat...
The Ps3 still needs another 25 million sales before leaving the wii in its dust.
But the wii has now secured a >> niche << and fanbase especially with its unique gameplay and controller.
Nintendo should be happy with its market share and profits made with its relatively cheap evolutionary console(not expensive revolutionary) and should know that there would be many more gamers waiting for a cheaper Ps3 rather than a cheaper Wii. Nintendo should only lowe...
and classy packaging.
The gameplay is very much cartoony but still gives the impression you're still in a real world shooter....impression.
Warhawk is also like this but far more additive with its awesome online gameplay. Just wish MW2 had large maps and vehicles but nonetheless will be a great game. Bring on BF:BC2, OFP2 & Starhawk.
Sony should have simply bought the licence to this controller.

Looks awesome and does everything the wand does with magnetism. Look at the videos of the controller being used for codmw, Hl2 and l4d. No arms flailing about as the deluded ignorant whin...
...from the MW1 fanboys upset about codWAW still being a WW2 game and not buying it. Yet the game sold truck loads.
Like WaW, all the complaints about CoDMW2(Not HD, no servers, unrealistic twitch aiming etc) will be quickly forgotten as millions will buy and enjoy it- many likely buyers the same whingers.
MW1 is still one of the best FPS out there with an good and enviable reputation.
And MW2 will be at least as good as MW1....>> at least!! <<
I'm a PS fanboy that had high hopes that MAG would be a Battlefield2 game with 256 players.
But it won't. It's just a large scale FPS Socom game. And we already have the now excellent Confrontation so WTF.
Zipper has bitten off more than it can chew especially with competitors like IW and DICE with their proven games.
So release when perfect else delay it, zipper, otherwise it's another round of regular updates/bug fixes like Confrontation.
@Marcelles25
Gameplay videos clearly show what a game is like.
Had never played Warhawk but saw the beta gameplay footage etc and knew straight away that it was a winner. And it was.
Had never played Cod4 but saw the gameplay footage etc and knew straight away that it was a winner. And it was.
Likewise, BF:BC.
Enough gameplay footage will show what a game is like.
I checked out the latest MAG beta gameplay postings on Youtube as well as CoD:MW2, BF:BC2 and OFP2.
Yup, MAG needs a major revamp to match these three games.
I mean, BF:BC2 has full destructible environment now so there's nowhere you can hide. And it also has parachutes as well as UH-60 Blackhawk that can carry 4 and your team mates can use the door mounted miniguns. I mean WTF. Bring it now....and OFP2.....and MW2.
Apart from 256 players, it just do...
Gameplay and graphics remind me of Resistance 2 in many ways
As a Warhawk fan, still wished codMW2 had vehicles because you can clearly see the confined & restricted gameplay of infantry only games.
But it'll be good to play a MW with rumble and trophies.
And hopefully IW will have a fix to include the Playmote(Wand) next year. Fast mouse-like aiming FTW.
...will buy ODST by the boat load.
But it won't result in a major increase in 360 console sales.
Millions of Ps2 owners are waiting for the the right price to buy a Ps3: first $600, then $400, now $300, in two years $200, etc. Sheez, the 360 is already at $200 and there's no stampede to buy it.
Steady but certain is the migration from the Ps2 to the Ps3 - based on price.
They aren't waiting for ODST.
...with a game by the developers.
Warhawk has a good and solid reputation as an MP only game.
It's the best console MP online game without debate. Beats Halo and CoD4 easily.
They need to forget SP and improve MP, include coop games with epic boss battles and Bots.
Forget SP.
BTW: vehicle gameplay FTW
Not sure about including SP
One of the main reasons stated by the developers SP was excluded from WH was it wasn't as good as the MP experience.
SP requires characters, storyline, dialogue, set pieces, boss battles even, music, AI.
MP is totally sorted but if they screw up SP, they will bring down the game.
I'd prefer they just improve MP all round and include coop games(with boss battles) and Bots with wicked AI(ensuring full games) for onl...
Sony can easily be first with the Ps4 being an improved Ps3(4+
Gb or Ram, improved CELL & GPU, playmote) and for $300 or less.
Likewise M$ could improve the quality and performance of the 360, throw in a bluray and Xmote and have it out for $300 as well.
These would be evolutionary machines and could be easily released in two years. They would be fully backward compatible, developer friendly, more versatile, better quality and more powerful....oh,yeah, re...
...developers out there.
Undoubtedly GOTY.
Now U2 just needs map modifications/making and Bots to achieve perfection.
But what I would give to see ND make Killzone 3 and work their magic.
and the centered cross hair and auto aiming sucks.
Just wish they designed the tanks and jeeps and even warhawks to look more cool or modern(eg tanks looking like M1 Abrams, Merkava 4 etc, Jeeps looking like Hummers etc).
@mastiffchild
For that map there's mainly one area the snipers hang out.
I just warkhawk to it and grenade or knife the bastards then escape.
....warkhawk improved would be awesome.
But if Starhawk maintains the simple open, free flowing gameplay of warhawk(including vehicles) then they'll have a winner.
Just hope they go FPS not TPS.
....this is all BS.
And those fanatical haters of EA are just showing how pathetic they are. There's a far worthier company to hate than EA. You all know which one. $$$$$.
Fact of the matter is Sony messed up with the current Ps3 with not enough memory and a Game OS NOT capable of full multitasking - like a PC - so that you could easily run a game PLUS XBM events(browser, chat, music etc) at the same time.
Developers should only be focusing on getting...
Agree. The slim will bring a whole new wave of Ps3 owners who will likely be checking out demos on the PSN.
LBP never reached its full potential with the mass of young casual gamers due to the Ps3's high price and poor marketing of the game.
But as the Ps3 gets cheaper, the Ps3's young casual base gets larger and more gamers get to enjoy the pure cuteness of Sackboy.
So bring on the demo.
