This is a pro PS3 site. Wii fanboys don't come to this site.

But there is definitely more Nintendo fanboys in all the other sites: Joystiq, Kotaku, Destructoid, VG Chartz forums, Destructoid, etc...

This site doesn't even cover any original news, is just a copy/paste from other sites. Did you know that N4G is actually banned from the majority of websites, and all because the bad reputation of the blind fanboys in this site.

@Breakfast:

You mean a console... that buys up all the JRPG devs for the sole purpose of preventing your console from getting them... one of the more popular types of games in that region, right? You were gonna add that, right?

Because it sure as hell doesn't mean it's selling because it's a better system, not by a longshot...

you actually have been banned from joystiq before.. they let you back on cause you produce so many hits to their websites, you're just a tool to websites, your ignorance it's some of the worst I've seen.

Ironically enough you talk bad about n4g but yet here you are trolling, because that's all you know how to do.

I remember from a year ago when you said you want the ps3 to fail, and that you weren't kidding.

It's sad that you hate a console so much... is it the price??

Just go back to joystiq where people actually feel good about the stupidities you come up with against the ps3.. they don't like the wii either there, they just like that you hate the ps3.

And i don't know what you mean with banning n4g from other websites since kotaku and joystiq and all those blog sites come here to read the news and then add a twist of their own.

All these sites that hate the ps3 are coming to an end.. just like gamespot, now 1up, even gametrailers are struggling now.

Even the people who hated the ps3 so much are buying them now, why? cause of the great games.. of course you don't see any good games cause you blindly hate the ps3, but eventually when it hits $200 you're gonna buy one and you know it.

You do understand there were alot of diehard SEGA dreamcast/Saturn fans. Sony stomped them twice and was a helping hand in crushing their future console extensions. Ironically most of them don't know that Microsoft also helped bring down Sega.

Perhaps he is still bitter? I don't know how people can hate a Company that much well unless your a PETA member but I don't see Sony using any fur or animal skins to make the PS3.

@OmegaSyde

I was one of those.I was angry with Sony because they had killed a company that worked only for the gamer.They just made games and consoles.Sony on the other hand was a heartless company like Microsoft that just wanted to drive Nintendo and SEGA out of business and take credit for their hard work.

I dont hate Microsoft or Sony.I just dont like them and I dont care whether they stay or leave.But I dont want to see Nintendo die just like how SEGA died because gamers are the one who lose the most.As a Sega fanboy for all my life,its hard to cope with the changes.Hopefully people understand that.

fernando since when the Wii has better games than the ps3? are you crazy? or just a fanboy? because fanboys are the only ones that say that their console are the best when in realty it's a piece of crap. in this case the Wii. lol ;-D

now:
x360>ps3>>>Wii

but the ps3 it's getting more games so in some more month it's going to be

soon:
ps3>X360>>>Wii

BTW if this site it's so pro sony and you don't like it then you could go wherever you want, no one will care, that's for sure...
mmm and man this site is user generated, so if you want more news about that crappy console (Wii) that you like so much then find the news yourself and put them here. ;-p

potenquatro - 462 days 20 hours ago

My lack of bubles are proof not everybody agrees with me, but i really feel it's because i don't suck Sony's co<k. So, I do agree this site is overwhelmingly pro Sony. But since I don't suck any co<k at all including MS's, I can see how Fernando comes up as a fanboy. And I also agree that MS helped bring SEGA down and I'm a fan so, I don't accept any sh!t from Sony or MS.

on topic: I'm so glad ps3 is selling better in america, and xbox is selling better in asia. It's not good to have markets so marginalised. Next thing you know, great japaneese consoles and games don't make it over seas and viceversa. Like the old days. We don't want to go back to those days.

'Next Generation' will now be called 'This Generation'. It will only include the Wii and the Xbox 360.

And the ps3 will form a new generation...it will be entitled:

WAIT Generation

In which you will have to wait for everything, from the small; rumble controllers, to the grand; Home and Killzone 2.

Speaking of waiting,

The worse type of waiting is for your 360 to come back from the Microsoft after experiencing RROD. I guess Xbox users have to have patience too. Atleast Ps3 users can play games while "waiting" for new ones to come out.

Damn man, you use to have witty comments...

SaiyanFury - 463 days 2 hours ago

OK so the 360 has a good week. People are using this as a major comparison? The 360 sold well when Tales of Vesperia launched. But it will subside. The 360 has also seen a spike in sales in lieu of other JRPGs released, but it rapidly went back to the bottom of the pile. In the end, the PS3 will win the HD war. I say that differently than the Wii since the Wii has a different audience. People may disagree with me, but the RPGs are on the way to PS3 as well as other Japanese properties.

I think alan wake was to show us 360 owners what its like having a ps3.
you know constant delays

but then again remedy never promised it as a release day game like say mgs4. In fact they said its ready when its ready so it hasn't been delayed yet.

Oh rrod comments.

Ok here's a comment while some 360 owners are waiting to have their 260s returned promtly you ps fans are having to pay for your repairs and hoping the next update doesn't brick it.

See works both ways.

this is about you ps owners saying it would never beat the ps3. It has a few times now. Yet when it does you forget your previous comments about it never being able to do that and change it to something idiotic about sales going back to normal.

Duh, of course they will.
How about even one of you having enough stones to say I was c*cky and narrow minded when i said the 360 would never beat the ps3 even for one week and have been proven wrong.

But backtracking while your waiting for something to play is the onus of owning a ps3.

360 sold 800 units in Japan last week.

Seriously, it's amazing the 360 can only beat the PS3 in Japan with:

a. A JRPG
or
b. In this case, both a JRPG and a price drop.

Unless Microsoft can release a JRPG or drop the price every week, it doesn't really help them.

The Lazy One - 462 days 20 hours ago

They were selling well around august 10th then they had a shortage for a few weeks before they spiked this week.

if you look at weekly sales since then, the claims of a shortage seem very credible with sales droping <1000 before spiking this week with no release THIS WEEK to spike it.

Sony has pressure. But first it has to become profitable. Price cuts may be good for the consumer, but if a company went from losing $100 to $200 every console it would be madness.

The only way sony would drop the price this holiday is it there was a great attachment rate with each ps3 sold to recoup profit of the games.

i.e. Every "new" Ps3 buyer would have to buy atleast 3 Sony-published games...
Ex: PS3 + RE2 + LBP + Socom

Edit: Hence bundles are really profitable. Since it takes what about 2 dollars to put the image on the blu-ray disc?

I agree. There should at least be some kind of bundle out there or an offer to really kick in the consumer. Like a voucher for a 20 dollar free cash in the psn wallet y'know? Free psn games already on the system or something of the nature.

Next would be a firmware update that enables a ps3 to actually be B/C.

Either way, i think they took a blow in some sort of way during the economic crisis so i doubt they'd have the resources for something like a system price cut.

You are correct, you earn bubble.

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are profitable. Sony profitable in that its other division music, tv's, movies are bringing them money

Microsoft makes tons of money on advertizements and licensing apps.

You are not quite right there.
The ps3 has so far lost more money overall than was made on the entire ps2 profit.

Although, to be fair, as time goes on, the ps3 will recoup at least some of those losses.
