In examining the margins between Sony's end-of-2006 sales goals for PlayStation 3 and the actual numbers reported this morning by NPD Group - the accounting for which, Sony told BetaNews today, makes sense if you count those PS3s still on trucks - Parks Associates analyst Michael Cai told BetaNews there could be more serious factors at play...or at work.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
I think the two main reasons is the price tag and the lack of games but I think the European launch will give the ps3 the boost it needs when moore titles like motorstorm, VF5 and Heavenly sword comes out.
The 360 is taking the lead and this is shown my the consoles sold. Those are facts. Sony and fanboys can say anything they want but no one can argue against numbers. Sony needs to put their act together. Stop talking so much about the CELL, or Blu-Ray and speak more about GAMES. All the money they are spending on advertising blu-ray and the cell should be put to make games and lock exclusives. The way things are going their only chance is if Microsoft freeze and start making more mistakes than Sony. i.e. no new games for the next 10 months. And that's not likely.
The neo geo had awesome games that you could not get anywhere else. The Jaguar was the same. But that never gave them a sales boost. The PS3 needs a price drop. The games are not great enough to warrant a $600.00 console purchase.
That is why the PS2 is still selling. Over all it is a pretty weak console but it's game selection is unmatched. The PS3 has no real system seller right now.
It is pretty sad sitting back watching Sony implode. The once dominant force in all things console is looking more like a first shot console developer in this latest round. Lies, deception, missed street dates, etc etc.
With the gloabl media power that Sony has it is amazing to see how little they delivered with Sony online. Microsoft hosts more Sony BMG content on their console than Sony does...SAD!!
Pride and arrogance removed rumble from their controller. Me too copy cat mentality put in motion control (at teh absolute last minute without telling ANY devs).
I think the smart people can already see the writing on the wall. Sony is wounded and Microsoft smells the blood in the water. They are moving forward full force and are attacking with relentlesss force.
The sad fact of the matter is that while I like what MS is doing, the 360 is RIDDLED with hardware problems. Lock ups, reboots, disks that get scratched from playing them (without moving the console), red rings of death etc. I know that almost half of the people I know who have them have sent them back for replacement. Mine is also getting ready to go back.
Oh and why is Microsoft's console the only one that does not offer a browser? Seems a bit silly to me.
If MS's console did work as advertised it would be great....
The point here is that competition is a good thing. If MS becomes the only game in town (literally) then the innovation will stop.
the 360 did during its launch period, despite being released in fewer territories and having greater manufacturing issues (which is just amazing). Once the European launch is over, they're going to have to do the biggest marketing blitz ever for Games rather than their launch strategy which was to advertise aspects of the console. Maybe compilation commercials showcasing clips of upcoming titles?
