After the failure of the last several high profilde PS3 exclusives it seems that no one cares about original content on the PS3. I honestly expected a Killzone 2 hardware bump but it did not happen. This is devastating news for Sony and for PS3 owners everywhere.
I honestly expect Sony to kill the PS3 early, just like Sega did with the Saturn, and release a new console before the rest of the pack. (Aka the Dreamcast strategy.)
I don't see how anyone could see getting your ass kicked as a good thing. Sony's downfall is almost supernatural. They went from a two gen blow out with no competition to last place.
The PSP, although an amibitious device with occassionaly robust hardware sales is a disaster in the software department. And that's where all the real money is made. The PS3 is simply the Titanic of this generation. Its the new Sega Saturn.
Now its almost like they are cursed. I hate their current advertising. I've hated it for the last several years. Almost everyone I know agrees with me. I can't change the channel fast enough whenever I see a PlayStation commercial. That's a huge change. There was a time when I'd watch their spots on YouTube. That's brand power. That's advertising magic. The power is gone and their advertising is so bad its almost offensive.
First we had a guy claiming the PS3 version of Fallout 3 was superior. The evidence = some pictures he took off a TV screen. And of course this was a huge story on n4g.
Next we have a BLOG claiming a "MS Insider" stated the upcoming dashboard update would "bring the RROD issue roaring back to life." And of course this was also a huge story on n4g.
Most of these pro-Sony topics are approved by the same handful of people. Someone watching thi...
This article is an absolute joke. It proves once again that there is something desperately wrong with n4g. This unsubstantiated BLOG is posting deliberate agenda ridden bullshit.
n4g is a sony website. If you love Sony, n4g is the site for you. Everyone else must get their news elsewhere.
There is talk elsewhere on the web that states N4G is nothing more than a fanboy hellhole. They say it is a marketing tool being used by certain companies. How a "story" like this could ever be approved is beyond me. We are now looking to web forums for our news?! Everyone knows they are the most biased source of information. There is a clear agenda behind this topic and the user who created it.
And its funny how all the professional sites dispute the outcome of thi...
Mandatory installs are a joke. They do not increase load times they merely compensate for the slow read data transfer rate of the Blu-Ray format. Sony is trying to kill console gaming.
