Developers must be saying, "When you pay all the money it takes to make video games... and to pay developers, graphic artist, and the hundreds of people... then we do just that." Begging is one of those things that will not make a company go, "Ok... just because you say so.. we will"... Sony better change their arrogant policy of, "we never pay for exclusivity"... practically saying... that developers are the one that must want to make games for the the PS3... is...
Why don't we wait until after the xbox 360 finishes giving the PS3 the butt kicking.. before we talk about "recovery"... last PS3 triggered an xbox 360 price drop.. this one will probably do the same... plus the other set of b!tch slaps that the PS3 will be getting starting with Ace Combat, Mass Effect, etc...
You guys have the sequence all Wrong... You don't ask how long is going to take for that black eye to "recover" when the beaten is still going on...
I'm going to play the same Sony fanboy "wait" game...
Wait until the new Xbox 360 SKU with built in HD DVD player comes out... LOL.
I would like to make two unrefutable facts.
1) Xbox 360 with a built in HD DVD drive will hurt PS3 sells and blu-ray no matter how you put it. Specially if both Microsoft and Toshiba are willing to sacrify some profits in order to spoil Sony world domination attemps.. and release it cheaper than the PS3. you can scream... Blu-ray wins! Blu-ray for the world!... bla bla bla.." and nothing will change the fact that any device capable of playing HD DVD movies is a variable in...
"Sony's comments on last month's numbers were a bit more analytical, more... forward thinking" ohh please... don't give me that crap... cry me a river... analitical my @$$...
The PS3 just got raped by the xbox 360 and Sony is talking about the PSP, PS2 and Ratchel and Clank!? Please Sony stop with the bull...
you better start thinking about the how you are planning to stop Master chief to from sticking the Gravity Hammer up little yellow cat @$$ this XMass... and that'...
lol... Sony fanboys can take away my bubbles... they can try to shut me from telling them the truth... they can scream.. that the xbox 360 is crap.. and that the PS3 is the console to own as a gamer... but they can turn their dreams into reality... need proof? puffff! like magic.. NPD numbers... drepressed yet? name 1 game on the playstation that ever sold this many copies of a single game in 4 weeks in a single region.... NONE.. and you never will... even with 120 Million PS2 installbase no ...
Finally... Sony is being realistic.. and is starting to learn that a network required to provide such service is not made with potatos and even companies like microsoft which practically don't have to pay license fees to anyone since they make all the software used on xbox live.. from OS to Database applications... and a ton of money to spend is proving to be a challenge... ohh yeah... and let's not forget that Microsoft make money of xbox live which for the most part is able to generate reve...
Actually they are correct... You can see the result of this in regions where these SKU are in available. People will run and buy a PS3 now fearing that evetually Sony will remove completely b.c...
Sony strategy had 3 stages...
1) 99% BC..
2) Software emulation..
3) None...
You want a PS3 with B.C buy it now or be screwed because Sony is taking that functionality off the box.
Sony strategy is clear... if you can't get people to ...
"The PS3 has proved unhackable so far. " yet... the PS3 software attack rate is so low compared to the xbox 360 and the xbox 360 have record software attach rate...
How is that possible?
How come a hacked machine where people don't need to buy the games is able to sell more games than one that "proved unhackable"?
It's obvious that the xbox 360 being hackable have no effect on software attack rate... which is the biggest worry w...
eventhough the same price... 60 and 80.. I say... buy the 60GB since B.C is better... and don't even think about the 40GB... better spend the extra $100 and get a 60... it's the most complete system.
So it begins... it will be insteresting to see how this unfould and what move Microsoft will be forced to make. Good things come to those who wait... it seems that waiting until the games you want for the PS3 come out can save you up to $200. I wonder if Sony has another price drop...
Agree... sadly it will never happen.. since the Market is big enough for both to be profitable. Besides it's better for the consumers to have them against eachother than together.. competition is always good.
Interesting... It seems as bad news are raining down on Sony like crazy.... it seems are some big companies (i.e. Paramount) are starting to see that the PS3 is not influencing the format war as much as Sony made it out to be. who was going to say that almost 1 year after the PS3 release... HD DVD is still standing when predictions were... months... and standalone HD DVD drive are still outselling blu-ray drives...
As time goes by it's becoming aparent that both formats may sur...
it seems as the wii fever is dying out... slowly dropping...
Once the wii drops to record low... what can Nintendo do to boost sells again? It's obvious that price will not be an issue.. so dropping the price will not really make a difference... soon.. when people wake up from the spell nintendo casted on people with the wiimote... what can Nintendo do.. to make people buy their consoles... it's true what lots of people said... Nintendo wii will not have any effect against the PS3 or t...
Well... who didn't know this was going to happen... Even Nintendo knew this was going to happen.. but how can they resist milking the idea of making money... who can blame them.
The fact that Nintendo makes money on hardware sells is an obvious indication that knew eventually the wii will just die out...
the wii was NOT designed with developers or gamers in mind... but with making quick cash at the expense of those that are NOT Gamers and those that were too exci...
You know there is something fundamentally wrong when a toy is used for something it was not intented to be use.
This is not necessarily a bad thing for Sony, since there is a big market for servers... The PS3 currently is not configured to be use for this purpose... it has blu-ray drives and other game related components that can be striped out and optimized with business related components like backup, and other stuff that would be better for these companies using the PS3 as servers.....
Like or not... regardless of how much GT developers try to do some pre-release damage control... the fact is that GT will be compared and will go head to head with PGR and Forza... It's innevitable..
The game will be praised on the things it does better than PGR and Forza and flamed on the things it does not. If these features forza have are more important than these so call "Quality" items GT have in the eyes of the reviewers expect them to make lots of noise.
Edi...
Great news for xbox 360 owners because they are pretty much getting everything the PS3 gamers are getting.... no exclusive PS3 game.
Great news for gamers in general since they get to play the games they wants regardless of the console they own..
Bad news for Sony fanboys who were hoping for some exclusive IP or something that they could use to troll the xbox 360 and the fans...
Sony fanboys don't care about games that everyone can play and enjoy... only t...
lol... you are so right..
it's kind of funny how Sony fanboys get so excited because the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 for less than 2:1 in Europe for 1 week... then they try to undermind the US as it does not matter... eventhough the US is probably the most important region in the world for any console maker since in terms of sells the numbers are probably more than all other regions put together... most of the PS2 consoles were sold in America... so without America... any console maker w...
100% purchase! One of my favorite franchises on the PS1 until they screw it up after Part 3... Can't wait.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sony fanboys attacked my bubbles again!... One bubble again!
