400°

Sonys window of oppurtunity is closing fast

Since its release it is been clear that the Wii is currently the favourite console, surpassing the Xbox 360 in sales and gathering the biggest video game library of the three major consoles. However the Wiis sales are only at 25 million and many of the 100 million Playstation gamers are still on Playstation 2s and haven't upgraded yet, this means we may be on the brink of a rapid expansion of the ever increasing PS3 sales.

If you can change your view of what N4G is SUPPOSED to be. Then these articles don't annoy you as much.

For example, I see N4G as a video game equivalent of this.

I think Wii never was part of the console war. It just stood out from the crowd and said hey you two can fight over the second place. As for PS3 and 360, well I do believe PS3 was hurt more from Wii success than 360. Because in one xbox was and still is considered a hardcore machine, while Playstation is a brand for almost every genre. From shooters to platformers. In my opinion PS3 will outlast Wii and 360 interms of number of years it stays in the market.

Do you even know the definition of Delay?

And GT5P was worth the price. Unlike Shadowrun on XB2 which was a piece of turd and at full price. But hey, XB2 fans arent known for intelligence.

Yeah they speak loads about how bad Sony is doing right now.. Old rehash IP's that managed very little in sales when compared to GTA and GT on PS2. Notice how PS3 still managed to get a 3rd place finish in a month where 2 of the biggest selling Sony affiliated games went on sale. Not sure why you think Killzone is so big when the first one bombed.Resistance? Another FPS on PS3? IS that really all the console is good for? Seriously Haze, Resistance, Timeshift, Killzone, Cod4, resistance 2, UT3. So the PS3 offers tons of FPS, tons of rehashes, and the least amount of exclusives.. Now how exactly is that a good thing?

Killzone 2 is big because its the new benchmark for FPS in the graphical area. Resistance offers an upgrade of multiplayer player limits. Those two arent rehashes in that sense. A rehash would be Ninja Gaiden to Ninja Gaiden Black. All the sequels from PS3 have made jumps with a mixture of graphics and gameplay from the previous. The importance of FPS for the PS3 was to steal market share from Xbox360's while MS has aimed for JRPGs influence. MGS4 is the prime example of evolution within the Playstation community.

In defense to GTprologue, the statistics does not count for online downloads and beat Forza in sales for the first two months. GTA4 was multiplatform where Xbox360 already had an upper hand in install base.

if you go on this website (source), you'll see, its a Wii-fanboys website. 360 fans and Wii fans are afraid or jealous of PS3.

The article's author knows three separate families who were PS loyalists but now are gonna move to the 360.

Therefore, the only logical conclusion can be that, given this sample size of three, the PS3 will sink fast and fade into obscurity. HAHAHAHAHA! Gimme a break!

To be honest for a moment, do fanboys honestly think this would be a good result? Like supposing (it's not gonna happen), Sony dropped out of the market, abandoned all their hardware and franchises - basically disappeared, do fanboys actually think this would improve the gaming industry? That everyone would be having more fun?

I just don't understand that logic...never have.

'If an uneducated PS2 gamer, oblivious to the bitter console war and rivalry, had enough money and was out shopping and saw a Wii and a PS3 they would stick to their Playstation brand as it is probably the only one they know.'

That doesn't seem to be happening anywhere near enough for Sony's liking. One of the reasons that people bought Playstations before will have been that they knew that their friends had one. The Wii, even though it has some carefully constructed games like Super Mario Galaxy, has even more recognition from casual gamers than the Xbox 360.

maybe it could be the big price tag, isn't a ps3 like $500-$600+$60 games? the wii is far cheaper, but still hard to find. i remember when they both lunched and a couple of weeks latter they had lots of ps3's but the wii's were all sold out.

all places where i have been are still sold out of wiis,(you have to order them, and make them hold it)but have ps3's.
i'm sure when some good ps3 games come out, the sales will go up.

i think a lot of people bought it for the motion control stuff. i bought mine for smash bros. and other games too. i guess the casual gamers ate it up. wii sports gets way boring after a while along other wii stuffs too.

when the wii launched it had little to no games that were good, as did the ps3, but the ps3 did had some titles out there, all the wii really had was wii sports

also the sites points were short, and had no sources,graphs or anything, just a "hey those families bought a wii instead of a ps3" ...so....yeah.

vor actually take a look at nintendo for the rehash king. Lets see only shooters on the ps3, i know you love to get on your hands and knees for nintendo execs(if your the same vor i am thinking of, and i am fairly sure you are). But thinking for yourself helps, i promise.

Nintendo has Mario, Luigi's Island, Zelda, Mario Party (which I do like), Mario Kart, Smash Brothers which was overrated with the same gameplay on gamecube, nothing new. At least mario party gets all the drunks together and have fun. MS actually had a good run on original IPs but their exclusive list has been the weakest. Of course this is my opinion and Two Worlds was horendous.
