Worldwide sale number tell that it is suppose to be the case.
In October the ratio of PS3 to 360 is 6m to 0
and by Feb-March the ratio is 1:6
and June the ratio is 1:3
Now the ratio is 1:2
You are right that 360 outsell PS3 for the most part, but that number is in 10k-20k range not significant like 100k range and some month PS3 outsell 360 altogether. Looking at another side, PS3 manage to sell near 6m with thin games library, thats pretty impressi...
Tomfoorey, I just want to explain this, since I used to work as FA.
Yes, MS might be huge and they got cash to burn, but we are talking about 2 Gorillas here if you know, Sony is Japan 10th biggest company in term of revenue. Sony also got cash to burn. Although Sony report a $2 billion lost last fiscal year, that number is considered much better than $7 billion cumulative lost from MS's game division. And no, that Sony's $2 billion lost just occurred last year, a year before they are ...
Duh!!! you really sound like you know economic, I hope you can explain the world of supply/demand like you are a PHD. So now tell me, when you decrease price what line shift? its econ 201 curriculum.
Oh and from intermediate micro economic theory, manufacturers do get more efficient over time, thats mean, cost to produce tend to decrease over time which means that PS3 production cost is not $960 like what it was 9 months ago. So no, reduce more price will certainly not hurt Son...
No to be a fan boy or anything but just to point out one thing. PS3 9 months sale record is match that of 360 9 months sale record, is that mean PS3 selling poorly? if that is the case then 360 isnt doing any better.
Yeah, but I think the point that MS made about force dev to be creative is contradict. You see, one of the reasons that Sony pick CD as storage format for the PS1 is that the 750mb on CD will provide a lot more room for dev to be creative, as oppose to N64 cartridge that has various range from 4Mib to 64Mib but no cartridge can surpass 100Mib, at that time.
So to speak, I think the reason of limiting game size to 250mg for the sake of creativity is not sound, on a contrary, mor...
Not to look for a fight here, but I think wii fad is starting to die down.
I bought Wii back in December, right now its got about 15 games and collecting dust.... yes I havnt turn in on for months. To be honest, I played wii almost everyday when I first got it, its cool, fun, and cheap. However, I want more, I want high class visual and sound. Wii sport is as fun until you reach the 20 years old age meter, and that's it, I put my wiimote down and try to finish Zelda again. I ...
FirstKnight, have you play LAIR yet? with all those claim I'm just curious.
If you got $500 in your pocket right now, buying a PS3 instead of upgrading your PC might be another consideration. Why? because $500 not gonna get you far in PC gaming world. The Geforce 8800 alone cost almost $300 and it alone can barely play crysis properly.
Other than doing work and playing WOW on your PC, if you are not using it for anything else then PS3 might be a good choice.
In addition to PS3 games.
It got blu-ray, expandable hard-drive, blue-tooth compatible, b...
you know I just build a PC with my friends
A sound proved tower cost me $70 after rebate,
Mother-board $220
ATI-x1950 pro $140
4 fans - $60
2gig ram - $160
CPU- intel core duo - 140
(non DVD- I use external HD.)
(Didnt buy a screen, use the old one)
that's about $790 total....
But I still think that invest $499 on a PS3, I got blu-ray and 7-core processor plus SPN service and more....
PS3 is optimized to run Linux. Actually I install XP on my PS3 using Yellow Dog, but it ran damn slow cuz I was running 3 OS on my PS3, but yeah chaning hard-drive, install another OS, use blue-tooth mouse and keyboard, and other third-party peripherals are legal on PS3.
Its same as saying "Your dad suck, so you must be suck as well" is that always true? of cause not, KZ1 suck doesnt mean that KZ2 suck. And for the record, KZ1 is bad not because of the game, but the PS2 cant do as much.
He was saying about game development as a whole not just KZ2.
Never know that I can play games on PSP streaming from PS3, i'm going to try it now.
Edit: well its works, can someone tell me how do we simulate the control? I mean what am I suppose to do when it tell me to jerk control up and down??
well that puzzles me too, that's why i'm alittle skeptic about this chart.
But heym I bought LAIR yesterday, I feel that It deserve more than 50/100.... I think graphic and story wise it deserve 70. Game play is a little hard to grab, but once did, one can be an ace sky guard in no time.
Other than UK, PS3 has been outsell xbox 360 everywhere is EU.... is that translate to PS3 outsell 360 in Europe? I dont know, you got to add them up.
agree totally
But the big different between PSN and LIVE is that PSN has no storage cap on which make games like Warhawk, WipeoutHD possible however, that doesnt meant that arcade game like pacmac and uno are not possible on PSN (hell I bough the gauntlet on PSN and its only 3.2mb). On the other hand, since LIVE got storage cap on, its impossible to put huge game like Warhawk on LIVE. That is if MS choose to put cap on, if not then we will see LIVE is something similar to PSN.
bought the game today and play for about 3 hours, I think its pretty good, the control is a little hard to grab but once did its a fun game actually.
I found that the 3 over heating core sound kindda funny, no offense here 360 fan.
I think wii is not even in the game here. I own a wii, and I am less then impress with the console, why? because wii will not produce game with deep story like FF and more mature like PS3 or 360 games.
Take a look at any game store, you will see this colour full games that actually contain smaller mini-games and you know, wii is just not my thing, you can play the same mini-game for 2-3 times.
