Using Screen Digest data, Nick Parker delivers his verdict on the future of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo's console.
At Leipzig, SCEE announced a series of exciting technological enhancements to PS# and PSP. They are no doubt crucial to long term cross platform consumption and broad media supply for both devices. However, the industry reaction was luke warm because what the industry needs now is games, games, and more games.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example
https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...
Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
BUT the analyst doesnt take into account that a 399$ ps3 might be launched this year.
so 7.7 m by 2007 (without 399$ ps3)
perhaps 10 m ps3 by 2007 (with 399$ ps3 and the 80gig reduced to 499$)
360 is already dead in both JAPAN and EU.
COD 4 would be released only on ps3 in JAPAN.
x360 is finished. wii has already overtaken it.
It will comne down to wii vs ps3 in the long run.
However i expect the ps3 to reach 100 m consumers by 2010
WORLD: INSTALLED BASE BY PLATFORM...................... .
............................. .....2007............2009...... .....2011..
Sony Playstation 2.......112.6m.........119.9m. .......121.4m
Sony Playstation 3.......7.7m............38.7m. .........67.5m
Nintendo Wii................17.1m...... .....41.9m..........59.4m
Microsoft Xbox 360......13.9m...........26.8m ..........36.4m
Nintendo DS ...............60.5m.......... .99.3m..........142.9m
Sony PSP ...................29.8m...... .....51.7m..........74.1m
always base their predictions off of past history. Before Playstation Nintendo and Sega ruled the console front.
This time around it looks like Microsoft is getting the games support. Just like Sony used to. With most 3rd party games defecting from the Sony camp. As well as 360 getting the better versions of the majority of 3rd party games.
The way it looks right now 360 is leading as far as price and games catalogue is concerned.
just because i have a PS3. Wont be anytime soon but it will happen more then likely within the year. If they didnt make it work with the PS3 i would have no reason to own one but with the things they are doing with this little thing i can see myself finding some good uses for it in the near future
anyway
peace
So he seems to think the PS3 will be ahead by 2011, the Wii a close second and the 360 a distant third.
I guess anything's possible...
one thing you guys need to know though, if prices drop to 400 dollars, you know the PS3 will sell for the holidays even if it would have a miserable line up this year. at the end of the day, you know everyone wants a PS3, no matter who you are even if your a fanboy from the other side. its just that the price is too expensive thus, no install base= no 3rd party support.
