The free-TV, rather subdued, European launch of the PlayStation 3 is done, and the sales figures for the first (and crucially important) weekend are being calculated. Speaking to SPOnG today, a Sony spokesman would not even hazard an opinion with regard to the weekend's sales figures, stating that the company is awaiting figures from Chart-Track.
Nor are any of the major retailers prepared to comment, on the record, anything but bland PR-driven statements.
Under terms of strict anonymity, however, SPOnG was told by they contact at one branch of a major retail outlet, that on both Saturday and Sunday it sold more 360s than it did PS3s. Is that a bad sign? Yes. This soon after launch it would be just about acceptable for the masses of expensive, late PS3 stocks to be moving slowly. However, for the 360 to outsell it at launch weekend should come as a shock to Sony.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
You have a games console called the Xbox 360? Its superior GPU, affordability and combination of an online service that its intergrated into ALL Xbox 360 games with a unified friends list and a friends list that stays the same no matter what games you play also an online service that is GLOBAL rather than regional says it all.
Games on the 360 look and play better thanks to the better visual capabilities of the GPU along with the better pad with rumble that is the 360 - overall the 360 wins easily across the board.
For every 1 of these fud articles their is 5 "PS3 is selling Great" articles . I love how the PS3 article will be based on an entire countries point of view. And the "PS3 isnt selling" ones are based on "1 retailer branch" at most. lol...
whoever promotes these articles need to stop. And the answer is no Sony should not be worried about 1 retailer branch. I bet no one bothered to ask if they had more Xbox360's than PS3's in stock and I bet they did. lol
This is getting to be silly and ridiculous. I refuse to acknowledge these articles anymore. They are running out of steam. Now its down to 1 retailer branch. Next it will be "some kid on the street told us no one is buying PS3's...Sony should be worried"...lmao
LAME !!!!
This is just useless. All this contradictory articles, one minute you see: "PS3 is selling great!" and the other "PS3 is not selling at all!, entire shipments have been left untouched!"...let's just wait for the OFFICIAL figures.
As for the first poster, man you really are close minded huh?. I mean I don't deny the 360 is powerful and has good games (after more than 1 FULL year out, that is...) but you cannot say that the PS3 is not good machine, or that the games LOOK better on the 360 -> Oblivion, for instance, LOOKS better on the PS3.
And I'm glad you like the rumble (which is heading to the PS3, by the way)...but I think that's just the most useless feature to ever be implemented on videogames...oh well, each person has their own point of view.
Hardly a respected source for reliable news. Too early to say if the PS3 has sold out yet. There are Know doubts that PS3 is selling. I'll wait for official sales numbers before judging it.
Okey, let's not compare Oblivion then. Let's just compare multiplatform games available at both consoles: As far as I know, both consoles prove to show almost the same graphics. So either way, the games do not look "better" on the 360 either. I wanted to prove that just because the 360 has 1 game that outdoes any other on graphics (Gears of War), you cannot say the "games" look better on one console than the other. The PS3 can, and probably will; show graphics on par and even better than those of Lost Planet and Gears of War.
That was my point, as I said; I think the 360 is a good console, but I can't stand people being so close minded that they don't recognize that the PS3 is a good machine too.
