But I don't care what you are selling this Christmas, $400 ($450 with Live) wont fly with most people, not with a $299 PS3 and a $199 Wii on the market.
Instead of the second controller they should have put in a wireless network adapter, but this SKU will be a hard sell believe it or not.
Too bad for them. You wont see too many 360 3rd party exclusive as much any more, and this is one of the reasons why Sony wont pay for exclusives from 3rd party developers.
Jump Out....
This guy needs to go fast, and if he thinks the whole industry really cares about his games then he don't know this industry, gamers are worse than a woman scorned.
This crazy mans attitude have done permanent damage to Activision's reputation and time will prove this to be true. The last time I checked CEO's cause companies to crash, and this guy is off to a good start, and what a way to start off .... you treat your customers like utter garbage, and speak of them as if they are your ...
like i said here, http://www.n4g.com/up/Actio...
this game will get too many mixed reviews, so you are better off checking it out on your own.
This is the first GT for the PSP, also, Sony and PD wanted to make the game portable in every way, which means they don't want you playing career mode for 4 hours on the PSP-3000(go) like you would on your home consoles, so they limited the career mode a lot and really built the game around an Arcade experience rather than a full fledge time consuming/space hogging career mode.
Doing so also made the game smaller in size which helps when trying to download for the PSP-go. Remember ease ...
I predict the PS3 sales to remain on this level weekly in Japan until Febuary 2010. Like I said a few weeks ago, Japan and EU/Others is where Sony will make up the PS3 sales. I expect big numbers for Sony this Holiday if they bring the software to help push it in all regions, in Japan=FF13, EU=GT5, and NA=U2.
$50 after how many years? If you will buy a wii at $199 then chances are that over the past 3 years you have already bought one at $250, lmao, the PS3 and the Elite just had a $100 cut and this is all Nintendo can do? I really don't think that there are people out there going "yo I'm gonna wait until the wii drops $50 " Please Nintendo give me a break.
There will be a bundle.

"Kaz Hirai then took the stage to announce that of course there will be a PS3 hardware bundle containing the game. He didn't mention any details"
Like you said Saaking, what more can they ask for? and they have successfully eliminated all competition for Madden, and they are still not happy.
Show some company loyalty is optional, this is not Nazi Germany, he could have sued MS for harassment, and if he got fired he could have sued them for that also, and he would have won them easily in court.
Yea I know, It's a pity we have a Constitution that protects us all for companies like this. At the end of the day Ballmer is just another hot headed man who's outbursts can be easily solved by quick punch to the face.
The man is right, a Wii price cut would sell massive amounts of Wii's but it will saturate the new market that Nintendo was brave enough to venture into, and possible kill the Wii and the ideas behind it faster.
Nintendo's problem is not price, but more along the lines of bad support for their new market, they are not being innovative enough to expand this new "Blue Ocean", in this case, software.
Great week for the PS3.
"these games are just the tip of the iceberg."
Holy cow they got more than that? Sony is going in for the kill.
The 360 got owned hard, keep it up Sony, barley outsold the PS2...
Hope the sales keep up for a few weeks, which I think it will. 100k in Japan next week I predict.
Natal games will be too physically demanding for the averaged gamer, the pick up on natal will be very small once it goes on sale regardless of what marketing does.
You would yell "game pause", and if you ask me there are too many speculating going on over the PS3 motion and Natal, wait until TGS when Sony reveal it officially to the public, and wait until MS reveal there version next year, by then we should have enough info to tell whats whats.
Natal does come off like EyeToy though.
Great job bring back some attention to the PlayStation brand. Retailers are going to make a killing from reselling trade-in 80GB PS3, no doubt they will push the hardware more this holiday.
"That's how world war one got started" I think they might get more flak over the new comment than they did over the old one. LOL... Sony FTW!!
You have to admit its a great bundle, but at $400, not including Live, this wont stand a chance this Holiday against the regular Elite and the PS3.
