Conviction did well for Microsoft, Ubi said all it would take was some more money and the next would be exclusive too. I can definitely see the next Splinter Cell being Xbox 360 exclusive yet again. Conviction was the first Splinter Cell game I was actually able to finish, loved the new style, graphics and story.
Got mine when the price dropped. The 3DS wasn't selling NOT because of a lack of games, it was simply the price tag. Something Sony will have to deal with next year when they release the Vita. Nintendo never loses the handheld race.
I bet you have a PS3, that launched with terrible games. Did you lose faith in Sony?
Nintendo is just finding out what Microsoft and I thought Sony knew, there is currently a economic recession, a new handheld at $250 no matter what games were available just isn't a smart investment.
If Nintendo is smart they will release the Wii U for under $300 and that will get people buying and believing in Nintendo again.
The economy is too bad ri...
Some of those big named PS3 exclusives didn't sell too well. I actually would have thought with their lineup this year they'd be higher on the list. Their best selling game this year has under 2 million and Infamous 2 hasn't even hit 1 million.....weird.
That's a much better list then the PS3 one. They pretty much list a wide variety of games and genres. I probably would have put Forza on that list, because we all know the PS3 players are starving for a decent racing sim.
Well motion controls are certainly going to be a bigger part of gaming then 3-D. People try to dismiss motion controls, but it's obvious with the Wii and Kinect that there is a large market for those items.
I have my doubts as to how long Sony will actually support their motion controller, they probably should have totally stayed out of that race, as they lacked the funds to fully advertise and lack the actual PS Move only games to push the device.
They...
Trouble in paradise. I think $250-$300 is too much for a simple handheld gaming device. I mean people were thrilled with the tech in the PSPGO and I remember how everyone shouted "Day one!" around here, we see how that turned out.
Yea you could blame digital download and lack of previously bought UMD support, but the price had a lot to do with it, $250 was the price I believe? Same price as the 3DS, which is a great system, but it's hard to justify that much mon...
Hell no, I don't even own a smartphone. I play my video games at home, on a big screen LED HD television, and that's how it's going to stay.
The only thing that would make me give up gaming would be if consoles went digital download only.
Not a feature I'm going to use, hate 3-D. Gears 3 is still going to be amazing though!
Cant wait for this game to come out on the Xbox 360! Gonna be sick with XBL!
I didn't want Bad Company 1 or 2. Those games were horrid and had THE WORST, MOST GENERIC CAMPAIGN EVER...well it's close between the Bad Company campaigns and the Killzone ones....
Damn, another beast Summer arcade game. Microsoft sure has gone all out this summer.
If they did make a handheld it would be pretty sweet. XBL on a handheld, with integration like party chat available on it, Windows 7 phone already gives you achievements, it could all work well together. Plus, imagine Gears, Halo and COD on a Microsoft handheld? It'd be done right.
I'm sure lots of people will trade in their consoles for the latest and most powerful console available, but it's probably going to be quite affordable. I'll just add it to my collection and own all the consoles per usual.
Pretty good list. Surprised Haze isn't on that list. Same with MGS4, which will get a lot of disagree's here, but the game changed a lot of what the Metal Gear series was all about.
Lower price, new games and IP's for the system. No rehashes of PS2, PS1 titles. Make games fun, mix in some faster casual games.
Wouldn't it be better if $ony came out with original Vita games instead of rehashing old games? I mean you can get a PS2 cheaper then the Vita if your after PS2 games.
Charging people for remakes of remakes seems like a $ony move though.
Probably, but since you can only go by critic rating and opinions, it's beating a dead horse. I loved the game and played it for weeks back when it released. I mean there is a reason it's selling so well on the 3DS and is usually considered the best game of all time.
Maybe they are making a God Of War spinoff that would appeal to English folk? They could base it on the current riots going on in England and you could play as the Queen. I can imagine it now!
Never happen, Microsoft is smart about things. Most people I know use Paypal now to pay for things, so there is no worries on losing CC info.
Un-hackable baby!
