not surprised. ps3 is a full on flop in north america and has never really recovered over there. not really sure why, as the rest of the world is the complete opposite.


1st impressions stuck here over here. It's still the most expensive(7th gen). It's still that console that launched half baked. The online is still at the end of the day inferior to Xbox Live(Cross game chat).

 

and all the American favorites are on Xbox

Halo

Call Of Duty

Gears Of War

Grand Theft Auto

 

Next gen Sony needs do everything right from jump instead of having to scrample and fix a bunch of sh!t when PS4 arrives. That way they wont lag so far behind in America Next Gen.


funny you bring that up because best selling on playstation are grand theft auto and call of duty



hmm are you agreeing with me or are you trying to take a shot at me? lol but yes GTA and COD are the best Selling PS games but they are still available on the cheaper console with better online. Americans can buy ALL the American block busters on 360 where as their choices are more limited to play only 2 of them on the PS3

We already knew this since last week on the NPD thread.

Thats a bit harsh, its sells at 60% the rate of the 360 in NA. Thats not really a flop.

The 360 had a better first few years (Gears1+2, Halo 3, Mass effect, Bioshock, Oblivion, Fable 2, Fortza.. all exclusives/timed console exclusive releasing whilst the ps3 was at its weakest+most expensive)  and once the ball gets rolling it doesn't stop, especially with COD/FIfa/Madden multiplayer being defacto thing in NA. For casuals you buy whatever console your friend has.
