"how can you know 'for sure' that games like Lair, Motorstom, White Knight, Heavenly Sword, Killzone, etc. are going to be system sellers when they are games with no huge money-making history?"
The hype behind LAIR is the proven ability of the developer Factor 5. I'm not sure if you know of there work but here's some info for you to ponder:
"Factor 5 is a software and video game developer that is best known for the Star Wars series Star Wars: Rogue...
Some of you really need to be more objective and stop taking these "list" so personal.
MS/360 has by far the weakest first party support of all three console makers. Like it or not but I only see 2 first party games that matter (Halo and Halo wars) and that just isn't going to cut it, especially since both Nintendo and Sony have first party game franchises that worldwide sellers.
Mass Effect,(RPG)
Huxley, (Shooter)
Blue Dragon,(J RPG)

Do what I did, which was buy a $500 PS3 and upgrade the HDD as you see fit. I upgraded my HDD from day 1 to a 120gb for $60. Both models have HDMI and Blu Ray so unless you need WiFi then I think the lower model has more value for the money. I don't know why everyone thinks the PS3 is $600, just do what gives you the most value. Of course the PAL regions dont have this option.
I agree, that is just plain ignorant, FF12 is one of the best RPGs of all time and if you haven't played RFOM both single play and online than you are doing yourself a disservice as a gamer.
I owned Saint's Row and that game is full of bugs and really can't hold a stick to any game in the GTA series.

VF5 will be incredible, it's sad it won't be released for the 360 in japan because it would have helped 360 sales. I wish VF5 ha...
Graphics do matter, but they don't matter more than gameplay. Honestly graphics don't mean nothing if the gameplay isn't up to par.
Graphics are the book cover
Gameplay is the written word
It's funny that when the rumor is debunked the "fanboys" seem to go away! Where are is:
DC rider 360 who said:
this is a serious slap in the face to the sony faithful.
i remember the same thing with assasin's creed. have a amazing game announced for your flagship machine, then have it's 'thunder' stolen from your main rival, who will also get the title plus, 'extras'.
why sony? why?
how do you sony fans feel about th...
First I would like to say that this is the video game industry people, delays come hand in hand with this industry.
Second the first forum rule is: Keep your comments relevant to the news story.
Gow vs. R:FOM IS NOT relevant to the story!
Thirdly the game will come out at the same time for PC/360/PS3 so relax, why can't we just talk about THE GAME and how much we are all excited or not excited over it!
"CVG has since contacted...
I am the OP I guess I should answer you.
I posted this news topic for the sole purpose of letting some people know how exactly Sony became the company they are (at least in video games). I could careless if you buy a PS2, PS3, PSP or any Sony product. Fact is I don't make a dime if you do, if you want a 360 or a wii go ahead and do it, I am happy that your just enjoying games.
What makes me alittle fusterated is when some fanboy disrespect Sony and or Ken Kutaragi with...

LAIR is one game I just can't wait to play, Factor 5 is an absolute powerhouse developer.
Heavenly Sword, White Knight Story, LAIR, Motorstorm Are games I HAVE TO PLAY
I don't see why anyone can say Sony's PS3 has failed...... It's crazy to think that after 2 months on the market, that we already have certain fanboys screaming on there rooftops "THE WAR IS OVER"
Everyone seems to be fine with giving MS and the 360 a year to get it's stuff together, but these same people act as if Sony (who has pushed the technology in this Gen's console farther than any of the other two console makers) is supposed to hit the ground sprinting!
<...
my brother in law in guam. I'm tired of playing and waiting for endless FPS's. Where are my action titles, Next Gen racers, fighting games, RPGs? I did enjoy my 360 but it's clear the system just doesn't offer me the variety of games I like. I am sorry for coming at you the way I did, but enough is enough! I post a news story that relates to PS3 and fanboys try to cut my head off, I make a pro PS3 post and it's the same results. We are all gamers and if you are a 360 fanboy why do you have to...
Let me answer your question for you "why are they great games for the ps3 but not the 360?"
I don't know who said that but I do know that this topic is ABOUT THE PS3 LAUNCH! NOWHERE DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE 360 or it's launch so I could careless.
If you wanna argue that topic than this is where you should be:

If you don't know what your talking about do yourself a favor and STFU! Focus on work man. I have no time to deal with your immaturity! Don't respond just stay away from me and I will do the same to with you! Your just wasting bubbles and making yourself look like an complete a$$
to those of you who would call the PS3 a rip off remember
PS1 launched at ............. how much (US299)
PS2 launched at .............. how much (US299)
PS3 launched at ............... how much (US499-599) with many more features and games
Im sure both PS1 and PS2 launched for more in Europe/PAL. If you don't like the price DON'T BUY IT. As for me I own a PS3 and I love it. WiFi Bluray Bluetooth Sixaxis USB ports HD Bluray Cell an...
I'm so tired of people on these boards being ignorant fanboys!! You hate the PS brand why? You want to talk crap on Mr. Ken Kutaragi? WHY
Without Ken Kutaragi, Video games would STILL be thought of as a childrens toy!! There would be NO 360 or Wii!!! This one man had a vison which we are living and PLAYING today!
Honestly any gamer who disrespects Ken Kutaragi with out knowing what he has done and what he put on the line to make video games WHAT THEY ARE TODAY...
What's wrong with these videos? It has become increasingly evident that some "gamers" on this site have no sense of what Sony is. What's the harm on a quick history lesson?
It could help to stop some of this rabbid fanboy crap we deal with everyday.
Sphinx: I don't even see no hope in responding to you, it's clear you didn't watch the videos!
that was just a ignorant biased post. Are you trying to turn this into some kind of flamewar?
You are basically implying that the PS3 is a failure....... seriously its been all of 2 months!! Get a grip, and open your eyes! The kind of developers it takes to make great artistic titles like Ico 1 & 2, Okami and shadow of collosuss are not with MS/360! Vina Pinata is a damn joke compared in ANY way to a game like Ico!!
Look its as simple as this Sony has a wh...
Now just click the story images and enlarge. What you will find out (as I did) is that we know very little about this game!
Did you see that "BOSS" dragon? WOW! This game will have much more than just your standard "dragons", and Factor 5 is really trying to give us gamers something that we have never seen before. Almost like a whole new genre, my excitement for this game is now off the chart!
** on a side-note: just think about games like H...
Man I have no idea what you are trying to say, but these are real pics!
Unforutunetly The first page scans aren't working properly so I am going to re-sumbit the news story to make sure they work this time.
I apologize to the members of this site, please look for a new submitted story on my behalf in just a few minutes
Speaking in an interview with Spong's Steve Boxer, Maguire has revealed that the UK retailers will receive approximately 220,000 PlayStation 3 units for the console's launch.
"[The UK] constitutes just over 22 per cent of the market in PAL," said Maguire. "That means my overall number is a bit lower than it would be if I had a less well-established product. So we're round about the 22 per cent mark which, if you divided that into the million would give you 220,00...
