EA are not big enough, they were not the sole company behind the 3DO, it was their founder Trip Hawkins who left and formed the 3DO company who then got EA involved with a few other companies such as Panasonic. As others have pointed out their sports licenses require multiplatform titles so that notion has failed right there. The profit they make from multiplatform titles including mobile platforms far outweigh any royalty fee's they have to pay to platform holders currently.

It would be ridiculous for the Government to bail out Woolworths. They were a retail dinosaur that did not move with the times. Should the Government bail out every business that hits the skids? Its a terrible thing to lose your job and I hope the staff can find other employment during this tough economic period but it irritates me when you see stories like in my local paper of three sad faced woman moaning they only got 10 days notice. When the national mechanical and electrical engineering ...
You couldn't call the 360 a failure ,not when its sold so well and had such a large catalogue of games but the hardware failures such as the RROD and DVD drive problems mean it can't really be called a success. Next generation though I'm sure MS will learn from their mistakes and Sony will really have to go some to compete.
Not sure I like the idea of one company having such dominance but it would make sense if Disney has the money to buy now while the economy is in recession and wiped a huge chunk off the sale price. If MS bought EA then I think that would be a huge huge blow for Sony if EA then went exclusive or perhaps even limited EA Sports to the XBOX brand. I did wonder if when Peter Moore went to EA it might be as a prelude to MS buying EA but its not happened yet but who knows. If it did I might just hav...
I don't see the big need for a white PS3 or a PSP of whatever colour. The were launched as black units, its kind of iconic like the XBOX is white. The Elite never quite looked right and MS never really got behind the different colours else there wouldn't be a lack of a black wireless unit (considering this hooks onto the back of the unit is a bad omission) no black camera, no black remote, no black memory cards, no black chatpad and no black wireless headset. Just launch the console in one co...
What PS3? oh, oh yeah there was one there :)
They keep adding bits and pieces and revisions. If Microsoft can just get it into their heads that they can't use the same patch and fix routine they do on their operating systems with their hardware and they will be a force to be reckoned with next generation.
Your respect? for posting a stupid video making threats over the internet? He'd get more respect if he went and said it face to face - he's a big guy I'm sure Kevin Periera wouldn't want to bump into him but his rap video is meaningless.
Kevin Periera's remarks were insensitive but I've heard rappers say worse about each other. If HipHopGamer feels that badly about it then go and see Kevin Periera in person and have it out with him else some stupid rap posted on the net is pointless.
Too late for me too which is dissapointing as my re-entry to the console scene since owning a Megadrive and SNES was the original XBOX. I went on to buy the 360 without hesitation and had some good times using it but two RROD's left me very frustrated. I traded my third unit in for a PS3 and that was that. I spent a fortune on games and accessories for the 360 and really liked the system. I wouldn't rule out buying the XBOX brand again but I'll be a lot more cautious in future and like many m...
phosphor112, lelo I suggest you actually go and read the article. He is not saying the days of PC gaming are coming to an end he is saying that manufacturers need to offer more bang for buck because consumers are not going to go out and buy triple SLI 2kw powered monster rigs like they used to because of the economic situation.
Hardware is only part of the problem though, the software developers need to change their approach too. Games like Crysis and Armed Assault ran very po...
Blimey's Ferrari game graphics look more cartoony than GT5, I've been keeping an eye on it for a while. It looks ok but if I still had a 360 I'd be more excited by RACE Pro. Its got a far better pedigree behind it as I've got all the GTR and RACE games on PC. People wondered if Simbin could go on when they split after the GTR series but they went on and created RACE on the PC and it was a really good simulator. Unfortunately now its been surpassed by iRacing on the PC format but if you want a...
And yet this is the site that tries its hardest to spin any positive PS3 news into negative because Sony temporarily blacklisted them for leaking news they were expressly asked not to leak yet Microsoft's XBOX 360 lets them down time after time with hardware failures yet they love it.
If anything this article is just yet further conclusive proof of what a joke Kotaku is.
I went through two RROD's but fortunately for me they were inside 12 months of purchase so I took them back to the shop and saved myself the headache of dealing with Microsoft's terrible customer support. The third 360 was traded in for a PS3. I had more brand loyalty to the XBOX range as I owned the original XBOX which I chose over the PS2 but enough is enough. I see people talking in forums of buying second or third 360's as back-up's and I just can't believe people are so willing to throw ...
Oh well that will surely generate some negative press across the pond. The usually pro Microsoft media look for anything negative they can spin and now they won't have to think too hard about something to whine about.
I think WaW's online ranking is a bit tougher with the way weapon and perk unlocks are spaced out, I can't see me going through 3 or so prestige levels like I did on CoD4. I think once I've got the flamethrower on lvl 65 I'll stop there and enjoy the weapons I unlocked. At that point I will probably revisit CoD4 for a while and then alternate between the two until Modern Warfare 2.
I'd love this to come to the PS3 one day. I've played the Simbin titles since they were just a mod group modding EA's F1 games and own all their sims to date. 360 owners are in for a treat with this game if its half as good as their PC games.
Did anyone think Sony would not use HOME on future consoles? They are not likely to spend all this time developing it, release it this late on in the PS3's life only to ditch it when the PS4 arrives. It will evolve like Microsoft's LIVE service did from its modest beginnings on the original XBOX.
HOME has arrived and its going to shake up online communities and now you see the pro Microsoft (often American) press trying to cut it down as it gathers momentum.
Drop the BETA tag now, its good enough and just keep adding to it. It doesn't need the perpetual BETA tag because its always under development, its good enough RIGHT NOW!
I used to be a BT customer for broadband and they can't even provide a decent broadband service which was why despite many pestering phones sales phone calls I did not replace my SKY tv package with BT Vision their current TV streaming system. They throttle your connection and lie to you as to why its happening. I paid for an 8mb connection and only got 4mb and they said it was because there was a problem with the line they could not fix as the telegraph pole behind hy house had been condemne...
