and no piracy
But the PS3 is the only console to launch @ >$400 and be successful
And did it without piracy on the system
I think a lot depends on when the PS3 hits $200 and the consumer response to it
For obvious reasons - no company ever admits to introducing on a new console until pre-launch months- it makes all articles like these kinda pointless
probably not.
Not many companies can make a 2d game and get sales like this.
The numbers are a result of quality, brand recognition and less competition on the console in terms of quality titles as compared to other consoles during the holiday season.
^^^^^
No - wasn't saying that - just making the point that for 200 i expect a bit more from a console than what nintendo provides - feel free to disagree - valuations are subjective
I think deep down sony doesn't really care - could should be a measure to maintain good relationship with some publishers
True - but for People with kids / young siblings - it will probably prevent them from having to buy a $200 console without DVD playback.
I can't help but wonder if sony is pandering to publishers who had failed attempts on the wii and are looking for a new medium for distribution.
@Toopawned - guess you were quicker on the draw - lol
"Digital Distribution for games = FAIL"
Thanks to some of the prices i see on steam i am thinking about getting into PC gaming for the first time.
Digital Distribution may fail on consoles due to battles between console makers and retailers - but it may actually help PC gaming
2009 numbers
Wii - 19 million
360 - 9 million
ps3 - 11 million
What would you do?
if they bring toy commander i will never trash M$ again - promise
The best movie for the year and the best game of the year is chosen by people working in the industry - peers - not critics or receipts.
There have been spectacular games that never sold - Okami?
Anyway i think i'm wasting my time here - you made a poor comment - everyone does it - i dont care anymore - i have 5 consoles to play
Yeah - that is exactly how the movie and other industries determine quality - by box office receipts.
That's why Spiderman 3 won best picture - Right?
A lot of the initial hate was really fear.
Gamers felt that publishers would gravitate towards the wii due to higher console sales and lower development costs.
Clearly, from recent outbursts from publishers, one can rest easy - they made poor efforts and got poor results - though to be fair if they could stick a pic of mario on the cover (sega?) their games would have sold better.
Nintendo is serving a very important role as a gateway for people new to g...
Almost 5 million ps2 consoles sold - unbelievable
When Sony said they were future-proofing the PS3 i thought they were full of crap - Guess i was wrong.
Between this and Natal next year i don't see any new console launch in the near future - but i could be wrong :)
Wonder if we get a mission spraying Agent Orange??
In all fairness i think a lot of people are sick of giving hits to websites with these kind of titles.
U are right though
