Wasn't DaO developed with PS3 as main console version, and X360 as a port?


Nope it was developed as PC game and then ported to consoles.

ummm "teh masses"???, how can we know if every single ps3 shipped at lauch for 599.99 sold out only moments after hitting store shelves, not fair if you ask me, and please tell me how in the hell 599 is a mass market price, Sony knew exactly what they were doing, from the start it's just only now most of the industry (the same people who predicted TEH DOOMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) are starting to see it.

just to Sony in the entertainment industry entertainment comes first, hard to believe seeing how much Sony demolished during the ps1 and ps2 era but then I present you with the very reason Sony is here, which isn't to make a quick buck, they did it as revenge to get back at the back stabbing Nintendo. Product first profit later, is what Sony is thinking, just people looked at the financials and though the "later" would never get here, just like with the games, all in due time...... and did Sony just post a profit this last quarter.....

learned their lesson *facepalm* what lesson, that people are retarded and rarely listen, so if they don't sell 12 billion units at lauch and have a 10 year library of AAA games AT LAUNCH and don't make billions of profit people will think they are failures and need to "learn a lesson" yeah I think they learned that lesson, 

oh ye arrogant Sony who lauch a console for almost 300 dollars LESS than what it's worth and then have the nerve to sell every single unit..... 

So from the start... Sony knew they were gonna piss away billions and it would be the poorest selling console this gen?

You brag about them selling out the consoles at $600. But why have there been so many price cuts if sales were so amazing at the high prices? Perhaps sales dried up? Maybe they were forced to cut the price to compete and are still at the bottom?

Great job Sony. Nintendo can learn a lot from them. This isn't a business or anything.

ok here's your test to see if your smarter than a 3rd grader, if you sell a console for 250 dollars less than what it's worth do you think your gonna make a profit??? or do you think Sony is dumber than a 3rd grader??

not bragging, the whole point of that was to show you it wasn't selling poorly at the 599 price point, it SOLD OUT at the 599 price point, it's just Sony didn't make that many. selling 400k units is nothing to brag about, selling out all of your  stock with extreme demand is, and Sony did the latter, but looking at the latter would have put Sony is a more positive light than what there were and well, Sony waz EVIL so we couldn't have that., 

and then on to price cuts, and judging by your response you were probably riding the if xbox wasn't around the ps3 would still be 599 bullshit bandwagon, see here's where that's bullshit and you and many others honestly thought Sony was an EVIL bastard. Ok so as I said before when in the hell was 599 a mass market price??? an Arrogant Sony would have kept it there for longer than they did, they knew they need to cut the price and fast, competition had littler to no effect over this, because either this is your first gen in gaming and or you choose to forget the previous 2 generation where Sony had 75% market share and STILL yup that's right STILL cut the price of the ps2 and ps1. and they stayed in last ONLY because the second place guy got a year in a half head start, in fact if you line up the launches the ps3 is in second, and the wii is in first because it not competing and has appealed to a bigger market, but as I said before looking at things that way would put Sony in a better light than what they were and well, we just can't have that now can we.

Nintendo had a chance to learn from Sony.......  then they released the gamecube.

now no one is denying the ps3 lost Sony billions, billion that they lost themselves by going out on a risk, a risk that only now is starting to benefit them. they'll make back their money because contrary to popular belief Sony isn't stupid and knows exactly what they're doing, the sooner people can finally see that the FUTURE will get here the better off we'll all be. 



Some of these games really annoy me, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and borderlands. Wish PS3 gamers would buy a ton of games.

No BioWare originally made the PC vesion first and then ported the PC version to both X360 and PS3 but they didn't quite reach the same level of port on the PS3 as they did on X360. But that's because it's their first time making a full PS3 game and that'll change once Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age II releases.

 

Actually, both were a mess. PS3 version had a poor framerate, while the Xbox 360 version had weaker textures and longer loading times.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

You have a lot of faith in Sony and a lot of excuses. But you've gotta come to terms with the fact they made some horrible decisions this gen. The PS3 will never be profitable.

I own both of those games for the PC.

For dragon age why would I buy the vastly inferior console version when I have a good PC? I got bioshock because it was like $5.

and so now you know, the reason the ps3 didn't sell so much at launch....... Sony didn't f**king make enough XD,

lol crazy ken wasn't so crazy after all...... here's to him, hope he has a hand in ps4 development, man was a true genius 

Granted, hardcore Sony fans cared. But did the masses? Nope.

I don't know if Ken is solely responsible for making the PS3 a blackhole of money. But lets hope he learned his lesson.

ummm "teh masses"???, how can we know if every single ps3 shipped at lauch for 599.99 sold out only moments after hitting store shelves, not fair if you ask me, and please tell me how in the hell 599 is a mass market price, Sony knew exactly what they were doing, from the start it's just only now most of the industry (the same people who predicted TEH DOOMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) are starting to see it.

Wait, so you think all of this was on purpose?

Sony Disappointment Timeline

Don't get me wrong, Sony and the PS3 are in a great place now but to deny they had a rough road getting here with all the massive mistakes they made in the PS3's first two years is just plane silly.

@ Mr Puggsly

Make back all lost, true. Never be profitable, false. They are currently making money on the hardware.

The little they make off consoles now will not cover their losses. Never will. Sony may go back to losing money if a price cut happens in the near future.

If the 360 gets a price cut next year, I think the PS3 will follow. But MS may be happy with their current profits and Sony won't have to do a price cut.

Once again, I strictly stated they will never make back the amount they lost, just as Microsoft didn't with the original Xbox. However, you said the system will never be profitable, which is false.

Whatever happens next year is a wait and see game.

Boy, I sure love arguing semantics!

Okay, the PS3 is profitable. It'll be remembered as a success because it made money.
