Yea i hope sony take a good look at the number and see what sells system. If they continue to deliver AAA quality software they will continue being rewarded with very nice numbers. in my opinion i think the next system seller for sony will be lpb and maybe socoom. I don't really think resistance will sell hardware cause the people that bough the first will be the same people that will buy the second one, i also think the same for gears of war.

Do you live in Vegas? If thats your picture in the avatar that is.
I disagree with the advertising, Microsoft goes off every game they have and it just becomes annoying. Although I guess it works.

Have to disagree with you there. Sony pushed Uncharted pretty hard during the Holidays. I saw lots of commercials for it. Its a great game but its 8-10 hours with no co-op or multiplayer. Hard to justify a $60 purchase for that. I'm sure plenty of people rented it like I did.

Sony did advertise Uncharted Drakes Fortune a lot. Uncharted sold over a Million Units in just a few months, so it did very well.
Some people didn't buy Uncharted just because it was a Single Player game with no Multiplayer, but usually it's the Naughty Dog fans that end up buying Naughty Dog's Single Player games (like me).
Single Player games usually end up selling less than games with Multiplayer anyways. Once the price on Uncharted drops some, I'm pretty sure that more people will be getting it because whenever you see "Developed by Naughty Dog" on a game case, it's a damn good game.

Some games are well worth it without the need to have Multiplayer. I just don't get why every game that comes out must also include Multiplayer option, it shouldn't be the defining point of the game, those are reserved for gameplay, story and presentation. Although Uncharted could have had that option, but its worth every dollar without it.

Online MP is a must for me.. It helps extend the games life so after beating the SP you can hop on the online MP and it will be a whole new experience.. You can keep playing the SP of Uncharted to try and get the treasures but you already know the story where the enemy is going to pop up from so its not as fun as the first one..

5 - That's insane.
Xbox Live has been around for 6 years, and PSN is already matching XBL's subscription numbers? XBL has both Xbox and Xbox 360 owners on it, so it speaks volumes to the percentage of PS3 owners who choose to go online.

While I partly agree with you, the service is a great thing but also think about the people who've made multiple accounts to access other regions stores.

6 - i agree with chad
every person that came to my house and tried out uncharted was blown away. just about each person thought the fmv was still rolling when it was game time. the game also got great reviews and sony did not ride the reviews.
this news come at a perfect time. Sony had a good E3 showing. the video store launched flawlessly. PSN portable id. positive reviews from their behind the closed doors showing for upcoming games
and comic con around the corner.
they really need to press harder on the marketing.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I smell some 360 fanboys coming
on the scene
Seriously though, the multiplatcorm speculation needs to stop. Name me one time that Sony fanboys mentioned Halo 3 going mulitplatform or Gears of War.
coming blank?

PS3 did amazing in June in the U.S.
The PS3 even sold more than what VG Chartz predicted. Xbox 360 sales rose a "little" bit by just a few thousand, but the PS3 did VERY well. I expected PS3 sales to be around 350,000 for June, but no where near 400,000.
And just think, Metal Gear Solid 4 was just the beginning of the flood of highly anticipated system seller PS3 exclusives.
I wonder what Aaron Greenberg has to say about PS3 sales now.

MGS4 has helped, but SONY needs to do a lot more to keep the numbers at this level throughout the year. I say if they bundled LBP or Resistance 2 with a custom ps3 for that specific game then that would spike sales.

12.1 - I wish
but the 360 user base is still larger worldwide! it's only being pwned by sales but overall it's still 2nd in terms of user base! the gap is around 4-5 millions at best and I think that's quiet impressive for Sony after the disaster start last year and 360 heavy hitters last year! if the current trend continues, we'll see the PS3 catching up by the end of 2009 - I hope!

13 - Great News!
I've never questioned my purchase of this beautiful machine for a nano-second. Much like the cleaning of a house - it gets dirtier when you start - but eventually it cleans up nicely. I cannot wait for Resistance 2 - I can't wait for the scary sound of air raid/nuclear bomb horns to fill my living room when it starts up!

Honestly, I could really draw anything from that. Is the PS3 part of the gaming division making a profit yet. I really don't understand this year to year percentage or month to month percentage.
I don't know why that just don't say whether they had a profit or a lost.

14.1 - Its just a sales increase
compared to A (past) and B (present). Will have to wait until the fiscal year is over to see if they made a profit, increased the amount of expenses, or trimmed the amount in the red down.
