I bought The Last of Us Remastered last week, completed it again, and it still holds up as a masterpiece. I have to say, it's one of the couple of games where I can still watch the entire credits.

Now nothing can get in my way of Metal Gear Solid V.

Final Fantasy VIII launch week, at the time it was the largest opening week EVAR!

It wouldn't be beaten until Dragon Quest XI on th DS, around 10 years later.

Damn, 2.5m in Japan. Unthinkable for a home console now.

Do you believe it was said to me? xP

A guy was saying Sony has nothing that can compete with big games and MS does with Halo. I pointed to him GT is bigger than Halo, and that pearl popped up as a response. From there on it went really out ot control.
He claimed a bunch of nonsense things, you can fing some in a past comment here I made, I made like a little list of some and how wrong they were while talking to another guy here.
Some of the stuff were: people in USA don't call football as football, but as soccer, so the sport, even being by far the most popular on earth, a as well as it vest selling games, Fifa, are also niche.

ND games are horrible writen, generic, just sell in slow years and can't compete with actual good games, despite they rating and selling excellently, being both highly acclaimed by gamers and reviewers, and winning tons of awards (with TLOU being the biggest winner ever).

Uncharted can't compete with MGS, but Tomb Raider can, why? Because it's a MS game (I'm not kidding, he said TR was a MS game). No mind Uncharted sell and rank better than TR since ever, also.

The GT is niche was just the tip of the iceberg, but was with it that it started and was when I introduced the guys here to that when it was happening, if you go back to a previous post of mine that is "Gran Turismo is niche..." and read the posts after that you'll understand it better (and also find a link to the thread, that has been locked already).

Personally, I think Call of Duty is a pretty niche series.

Think about it. The Call of Duty series has sold LESS than 220 million copies worldwide. There are SEVEN BILLION people in this world. AT BEST, Call of Duty is selling to less than one in thirty people in this world.

The Earth's population is irrelevant in the point you're attempting to make.  Not even half of the world plays games.

... I can't tell if you are unable to read sarcasm, or you're trying to make a point in spite of me being sarcastic.

i dont even know how you manage to deal with this people on almost a daily basis... i mean... the guy said stuff like:

"TR is a MS game"

"ND games are generic and horrible and wouldnt sell well under normal conditions"

"GT is niche"

i mean what a stupid ignorant... GT sell on average arround or over 10 million copies per game, its easily one of the best selling games on the planet... and the best selling simulation racing game ever made, Forza isnt even close.

also thanks but no, i wont go and find the thread to read his/her ignorant comments because just hearing about them from you already gets me...

What he's saying is kind of ruined by the fact that the starting point for possible sales is roughly 5.8x larger, than the actual 'possible' installbase for ALL games (including mobile, handheld, PC, facebook etc...).  When viewed through the lens of actual gamer's out there (roughly 1.2b), it's less than 18.4%, or nearly a 5th of all gamers.

It's also apparently sarcasm, so it's a pointless tangent.

I can read sarcasm just fine, however, there's really nothing in your statement to suggest it was sarcasm.  My bad, kinda relieved that it was sarcasm.

Only 11 more days till Tearaway Unfolded. Can't wait to see what's new. Anybody else getting it?


Played PS Vita version. It's one of the greatest games ever made. It has the best soundtrack of all time imo!!!
I am not going to buy this game during release, I will wait a little bit. ^^




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)
