December numbers would seem to suggest the scarcity of the Wii may have benefited the other consoles.
"While the Xbox 360 and the Wii sold roughly the same amount of units in December, in terms of growth, the Wii was the clear loser. Nintendo's red-hot game system saw a 38 percent increase from November to December, versus 64 percent for the Xbox 360 and 71 percent for the PlayStation 3."
ScreenRant's Ben Brosofsky writes, "There have been a lot of great co-op games over the years, and the best of the best cover a wide variety of genres while maintaining the fun."
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
and ps3 will sell more this year
maybe in america it sold roughly the same but worldwide the wii dominated
The Wii has been kickin major butt, even with supply constraints. The 360 has been trucking on, slow but steady and keeping itself way ahead of the PS3 which is just what MS want.. The gap is not closing and they will continue to be in last place throughout 08.
"Nintendo’s red-hot game system saw a 38 percent increase from November to December, versus 64 percent for the Xbox 360 and 71 percent for the PlayStation 3."
You have to take in account we're talking about a % increase in growth. While the Playstation 3 was 7% more than the 360 it did have more room for growth as more 360's have been sold. It will be interesting to see how the year plays out. I've got em both and would have a Wii if I could find one :(
fanboys and sony was hoping that would be the case. but it really wasnt if so both ps3 and microsoft would have outsold wii or match the sales.. but they didnt cause people who wants a wii... wants a wii.. and soon as supply is good the sales will double
