In an interview with Gamedaily, the ex-Xbox exec responsible for Microsoft's Rare capture, Ed Fries, has warned Microsoft that PS3's worm is definitely starting to turn.
"I think it's obvious that Sony got off to a slow start; I think they made some pretty big mistakes and they've done a good job in the last year in recovering from those. I think they're putting up a much stronger battle now," he said.
He further states,"Microsoft is in a kind of awkward position because with Sony winning the Blu-ray battle, it's nice to have a hi-def player as part of your games machine, and now that that's the standard I think it's a big advantage for Sony."

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

I agree and I actually think Forbidden West looks better than Hellblade 2. I easily prefer looking at it at least.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

If Sony's mistakes were "pretty big" how big were Microsofts???
One thing is important.... E3 WILL RULE BIG TIME!!!!!
I cant wait!!!
We need to see what each company has up its sleeves...
But, but, but....360 has so many games...and PS3..(insert derogatory Sony comment here for M$ approval).
I'm glad Ed Fries is thinking outside the box.All companies of the console war could lose depending on their next move.Sony,Microsoft,and Nintendo are gonna have to do something to change the tide in their favor.
Yes, Sony is fighting back. I'm very proud of them as a company. Despite the media bias, attacks, criticisms, and mocking, they managed to pull through all of that.
They're making a comeback people...and they will succeed in the end.
But I don't agree with him on the fact that Sony made *big* mistakes. So what, Microsoft didn't make the biggest mistake of all time by releasing a console with such a high failure rate?
Is that really excusable?
The only mistake Sony ever made was advertising things that weren't ready.
