Price won't hold back sales for first 12 months - Florin
Electronic Arts' boss Gerhard Florin has told GamesIndustry.biz that the true effect of the PlayStation 3's controversial price point will only become apparent two years' after release.
While early critics are suggesting the console's luxury price is hampering sales, EA's executive VP of international publishing doesn't believe the GBP 425 price tag will hold back sales in the first twelve months.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
will see !
“Shooters like Medal of Honor, Black, we will clearly concentrate on PlayStation 3 because we need Cell processor power.” greats news for playstation 3 owners.
I would have waited five years not 2 before passing judgement. But it'll do.
Home, Little Big Planet, MGS, FF, Killzone 2, Warhawk, Getaway, 8 Days, H&C etc would have been released and a large library built up; PSN would have matured to at least equal XBL; dual shock would have returned and obviously the price would have dropped. Last but not least, Ps2 would have finally reached the end of its useful lifespan so the owners will now have a good reason to buy a Ps3.
So let's see if the xbot fanboys listen to an expert or just go on their usual ignorant, biased rant and rave. I mean, the next time I hear the endless whinging about the price or what games ps does or doesn't have, I'm going to strangle someone. Seriously. I'll do it. lol.

See fanboy comments below....
O.K. 2 more years for HD TV to penetrate the market? OR for a PS3 price drop? Or they have invested in some expensive development for PS3 games that will release in the next 2 years and they would like to see a larger user base to cement the investors and share holders a profit? I say all of the above.
2 years is like half a gen in the video game world. If a game comes out with 'two year old' graphics, people would hate it!
Perhaps Sony should've waited 2 more years before releasing the PS3?? I mean, it's not like sales are faultering on the PS2 yet.
