Yeah, I find it funny EA of all developers are talking about something like this. This is like Gabe Newell (I hope I spelled that right) talking about patience and understanding with developing on the PS3.
I was going to use another one of those charts that shows the sales ratio, but I thought it was overdone so I added this cause it seemed pretty cute.
The english version makes much more sense than looking at the translated one.
The 60GB vs 40GB really shows off the reduction of ICs they were able to make. It would have been even better if they included the 80GB version in there as well.
What's your point regarding the sales on Blu Ray media? It's the same exact tactic that HD-DVD uses when it comes to their stand alone players, not to mention bundling nine movies and a season of some tv show like Heroes with every purchase.
If you looked at the charts, you see that the 2:1 is a trend not an anomaly. Sure I remember seeing the BOGO deals twice or so on fatwallet, but those are limited time sales but the 2:1 ratio has been maintained for awhile now.
If it stops working because of neglect, I don't see how its any different than dropping or spilling the water on the PS3. Even if the guy has a good excuse, it should be Sony's decision whether they want to help the guy, since there's a big chance its just gonna be shipped back a few months later.
Is it just me or does it feel like the guy purposely sent the system back in this condition to create a controversy? If a 360 owner did this with his sytem and it got RRoD, I really d...
What is with it being too easy platforming as a con? There are four difficulty settings, choose something harder if you think its too easy.
You might want to change your nickname now...I think.
But in any case, I agree with you that Uncharted looks like exactly what this holiday season is missing. I mean we have a lot of FPS and music games, but there's no clear action adventure game that's really as cinematic and immersing as Uncharted.
Do these analysts even play video games or do they rely on others telling them the hype? Granted Haze is still uncertain, but I think just about all PS3 owners are g...
You are telling me that for a patent and data based entirely on stand alone player sales, Warner Bros will go HD-DVD exclusive despite the fact that Blu Ray is now selling over 2:1 in software compared to HD-DVD? Did I miss the memo on Warner Bros turning into a hardware company? What else could a studio care for except movie sales?
Wait, so the reason why some people's 360 takes so much longer to be returned is because they were randomly chosen for inspection? This doesn't seem quite fair given the fact that MS was expecting this problem in the first place. Why would anyone even sent in a modded 360, its warranty is obviously voided.
I'm just gonna get it for my console, so it'll be the PS3. This is not a game that will make me buy a 360 for even if it had real noticeable difference.
They did a LOT of work for Uncharted. They used to program in LISP during the PS2 era, but now they want to be able to share their development technology with other first and third party developers. So they had to teach themselves to program in C++, create a whole new graphics engine for the PS3, and develop an entire new franchise.
Now that is a real game developer!
Integrate this into games where you design your own characters and levels through hand drawings. Or you can integrate this into something like worms, where you draw the contour of the level and the level editor does the rest.
All their decision did is guarantee the format war to rage on for an extra 18 months. Well done Paramount, you officially screwed the consumers for 18 more months just because you got a bit overzealous and greedy.
Economic advantages of making cheaper discs does not pay off when you end up selling less discs than other studios.
I really think they should review games out of 100 from now on. Since they can only give 80, 90, and 100 with a 5.0 scale and a stepsize of 0.5 (we never hear of 4.75).
But anyways, it should be a must have for a PS3 owners.
I think Singstar, GH, and Rock Band all go together really well. I'm definitely getting all three.
Same here, I can finally enjoy rumble on my favorite PS2 titles again.
It's really amazing to see such a spike in sales. Let's hope the upcoming titles will help maintain the momentum.
Every single editorial magazine tries to get into the discussion . Most of her points have been made elsewhere and it doesn't even the latest software sales data, discuss attach rates, or even mention the impact of the PS3. She is either based or just plain bad.
My favorite part was when he was asked what he thought of the PS3 now on the same price as the 360 Elite but comes with a free Blu Ray player. Apparently, he believes "forcing consumers to buy something they might not want" includes including a free Blu Ray player at the same price.
Honestly, we've all heard this tune being hummed before but this really sounds like Mayor Giuliani answering every question with 9/11. "What happened on 9/12? Good question, it is th...
