i got to say, he's right.
"The issue is that hardware doesn't make much if any for the retailer. What they make money off is accessories and games."
sorry, but you're wrong. sony takes the loss, retailers don't. why would a retailer buy a product at wholesale and sell it for less and make no profit but a loss? that's bad business, very bad business. that's what sony is doing, and probably M$ is still doing. they manufacture the systems at a price and sell them for wholesale to the retaile...
ok, everyone is right about the price and the pricing, i totally agree with you guys.
@KnaveX i'm sorry, you missed the whole point, i hate to type everything i just said again becasue you failed to read. you probably just don't know business. a monopoly on consoles is not bad for the quality for games, a monopoly in video games is bad for the quality for games. if there is one type of game, that game will stay the same(i.e. madden), if there is more than one type of game(i...
why is anyone disagreeing with me? you want the fights back and forth. games everyone. say it with me...games. the next gen will be great with the content games can hold, the online with be superb and the graphics will blow everyone away. and with the price, i buy the consoles day 1 anyways. i don't need a price cut to buy a console. and with the internet, forums, email, youtube, the rants and raves and the boycotts, petitions and of course N4G, companys will still listen to the consum...
"PS360Wii" - one console next generation, then we can all get along and just play games again.
well duh it's the most powerful, but being the most powerful comes at a price, just like when you build or buy a pc. you pay for what you get in power, there's no problem with that if that's what you want to do
i wonder though, the ones(meaning fanboys) that say that the ps3 is the most powerful did they admit that with the xbox 1 in the last gen against the ps2? and did they make a big deal as to say "FEEL THE POWER" or "I'm proud to be the owner and fan of th...
Reggie, the same guy that said halo wasn't a system seller.
seems like bungie is doing a little like what stars wars did. bringing out episodes 4 5 and 6. then bringing out the story of what happened first, episodes 1 2 and 3. reach might just be one game though.
why would this guy report this as "Lame: and OLD how the hell is this considered news?"
the artical on split-screen.com was posted on 6-7 and the tagline trademark was: Date of Status: 2009-06-04.
now MAR-TYR-DOM is bias, maybe even a fanboy.
and news? i've see worse things get reported and posted.
***Ceekay***...please stop reporting, you're bias. your going to take an actical FROM A PS3 SITE and report how they said the PS3 won E3? WOW, just WOW. i guess the the 360 fanboys should just post "Why Mircrosoft's E3 Conference Took Home The Crown This Year" from a pro-360 site. sony looked good though, i agree.
fanboys being reporters...not good.
you see that is what's wrong with n4g fanboys, they talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. and it starts to sound gospel. plese just stop. i'm totally unbias, so i can raise this question: why didn't you say anything about sony when they got things like trophies, a motion controller, the psn network and etc. did they steal something or copy something? perhaps. the real statement is "to compete". so please, please stop with the hate.
if you read the artical, which you didn't, G4 didn't say that, Sony’s director of marketing John Holler said it. Ceekay is the one with the bad reporting and actually FALSE reporting(which was probably on purpose). how did this get passed, it is totally inaccurate on who said what.
FANBOYS being reports...not good.
Ceekay is a fanboy, to prove it just look at his post and his avatar. we need some true fair and balanced reporting without the BIAS...PLEASE!!!
ok, if you want the whole story and the true story, not how Ceekay reports this. here you go:
"Sony’s director of marketing John Holler told Gamasutra that the PlayStation Eye is `more accurate and more precise` than Microsoft’s motion-sensing tech". this is not G4 that said this. sony's director of marketing John holler said this(and we all know her didn't try it out and he is going to be bias, you all know this.)
PLEASE, EVERYONE...DON'T KNOCK SOMETHING BEFORE YOU...
AMEN BROTHER, AMEN. my thoughts exactly. i just don't know why people actually hate others just because they own something different than them. i will never understand that. no one can be happy for the other when they get something?
everyone is missing the point. why didn't braid, geometry wars, castle crashers and more games go to the psn? these companies sold what they wanted and above and they made their money back and a profit. it's about money. developing, publishing and advertising versus games sold. they know more people will buy it on the 360. that's all.
ok, i'm unbias, but that last sentence was funny.
where are the same people that should be complaining about and boycotting madden, nba live, actually all sports franchises and the call of duty franchise? they are announced 7 months after their release as well. and what about FF13 and FF14. announcing 14 before 13 is even out.
it will be $15 a month to play
awesome, i can't wait to play it.
ok, sorry about that. then we are in agreement. bubble.
i used to be a reseller and i got consoles cheaper than they did.
