Sony is reporting that its overall net profits more than doubled during the past quarter, bolstered by the success of films such as Spider-Man 3, and snappy sales of its traditional electronics. Things in the company's PS3 camp, however, still looked a little bleaker than the Japanese giant had probably hoped for. Losses for the game system rose from 26.8 billion yen to 29.2 billion yen, with 710,000 units sold worldwide -- not real impressive when compared to competitor Nintendo's Wii sales of 3.43 million. In a somewhat ironic aside, Nielsen GamePlay Metrics, a division of Nielsen Co. which tracks video game activity, says that the most played game system last month was Sony's seven-year-old PS2. The report shows the aging system leading other consoles with 42 percent of use, followed by the original Xbox at 17 percent, and Xbox 360 at 8 percent. The Wii and PS3 fall at 4 and 1.5 percent, respectively. Should be food for thought for everyone at Sony who doesn't think backwards compatibility is a big deal.
Take it to the sea and start the fishing. Take a look at the best fishing games you can play on the PS2 today.
Well, I appreciate this article since I enjoy fishing games, so there’s that.
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.
i thought Sony wasn gonna go bankrupt. NOT!!
I remember all the xbots saying, "Sony cant afford these losses." Amateurs!
xbox or ps2...i dont see why ppl buy last gen systems. I personally would save up for 360/ps3 if i was a consumer who racked up those sales figures..that is, if price is the issue. If the goal of buying a last gen console is for some of those favorite titles...I would still save up for a 360/ps3 and play those games on the new systems (which makes the backwards compatibility an issue, but im sure all the good games are on the backwards lists anyways?)
I dont really get it either. And its not like a rich company like Sony would die due too one failure. The same goes for Microsoft.
Exactly, this is sony's plan.
Profits are earned long term, something Microsoft can't realize.
In 8 years you'll see the PS3 cheap as ever with great capabilities that even kids can buy, PS3 is made for long term, just as the PS2 was.
If you think Microsoft cant see long term profits then you really are a blind sony fan boy. They didnt make all that money for being idiots.
And who cares what happen 8 years from now please try to be serious.
Edit: Below me yeah real funny any console can still be around for 8 years so please dont go there just keep making games and that that.
