The PSP and Vita are great examples of why sales data is important. It lets publishers know where the install base is and that allows them to sign off on which platform to develop for.
Let me explain the handheld market so you can better understand. Back when PSP and DS first came out, the DS won the sales despite the fact that at launch, it didn't have any compelling games. People placed faith in the DS and eventually they had the install base that dwarfed PSP. Dev...
So you agree then that the Xbox One is stuck in the 7th generation?
Shinmaster, shut up you're wrong about everything. Pretty obvious coming from someone named Pokemaster.
I have no idea why people are disagreeing with you, sometimes PS fanboys just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm a PS fanboy too but damn it feels like **** to have your own 'people' trash the shit out of you for speaking some common sense. Some of us just like to play the goddamn game without all this drama.
I list Metacritic because it has an actual criteria behind the score. In that average score, each website's scores are weighted, therefore if they are a small time website and produce scores/reviews that are outside of the norm, their score is worth less than other publications that have higher quality reporting. They don't just put together numbers and call it a day.
While I don't agree with certain individual websites (such as Polygon), that still did not stop...
agreed. A consoles success depends on it's userbase and it is up to the customer to purchase the console if they like it, and it is the install base where companies base their decisions on when they make games.
By not purchasing a console when you COULD, that person is effectively working, not only against themselves but the success of the company as well. They need you as much as you need them.
The games will come with time. It's better to get ...
agreed, just finished reading and came to post this. I thought that the score was bad and undeserved. A game of this caliber should have gotten 7-7.5 rather than a 5/10. These days the only website I take scores seriously is either Metacritic or IGN (both have actual criteria behind the scores).
Websites like this just give out scores and we don't know what area of the game got scored better or worse (or even scored like this at all). It's pretty much arbitraril...
I don't know why the guy was defending it in the first place LOL! Games with Gold is laughable. To even bring it up to compare to Playstation Plus is laughable.
PC's do have exclusives yes, but it's a matter of taste, the same way with each console having their own flavor (ie: Nintendo/family)
Not even the PS4 runs BF at those specs.
edit:
since people are just disagreeing with me without looking stuff up, the PS4 runs BF closer to the High settings with textures on Ultra at the resolution of 1600x900 upscaled to 1080p

My comment is correct. A PS4 cannot run BF4 on ULTRA settings at 108...
For 400 bucks, probably not. Possible if you utilize deals and used parts. For 500 bucks, definitely.
These guys are known Microsoft shills. Gotta calls it like I sees it.
As soon as I saw the website I braced myself for a garbage article and I was right.
1. Taking a dig at the PS4 (no games) while simultaneously supporting another of the company's platforms/games.
2. Taking a dig at GT6 itself, saying that there was no hype surrounding it's release (there is, it's just only the GT/racing community such as GTplanet, etc)
3. Claiming there was no best selling exclusives of 2013 (speaking as if Last o...
This coming from the guy with a Tales of Graces avatar, and possibly the worst Tales mains ever.
I'm sure you meant well by that comment but we've all seen similar comments to it before. I'm an IGN poster and we had a guy who said something similar.
Reason why people disagreed with your post is because you say you're waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out but the Xbox One is riddled with bugs AND you paid 100 more for it.
If you were so willing to buy a more defective console (not saying you got one, but in general) then why not take...
Going by the comments in that article, those smaller shops selling it for 2500 were selling imports so they don't count as sales officially.
supposedly according to the comments, the importers are able to sell them at a somewhat normal price and they've been selling by the 1000's.
@theangrybogan
his post doesn't change a thing. The numbers do not lie. If you have a job in Australia, and you buy a game off of the US store, it's actually cheaper and not in line with the rest of the world's economies at all. It's equivalent to buying a game for 28 dollars here in the states. Now you tell me how that's fair?
It doesn't matter if 'certain areas' are better than others. The same can be said for here in the ...
You're not getting ripped off, it's just that your economy is different and the price is adjusted to your economy. When you factor in minimum wage and how long it takes to earn that game compared to other countries it's actually less time and cheaper for you guys than anywhere else.
When you use the exchange rate and shop on the US store, a minimum wage earner can work for a game in 3.55hrs versus a min wage earner here in the US where it'll take upwards of ...
I'm a Sony fan, so don't bash my head in. I think Reggie is THE MAN! He knows what to say, how to say it and when to say it. Geoff Keighley was standing to the far left of Reggie at VGX, that's his bitch right there.
Seriously though, Reggie gave props to the PS4. He said that anything that's successful is good for the industry and that's true. The success of the PS4 and Vita also means good things for the Wii U considering it's providing a market al...
