| famousringo said: This is a big breakthrough for MS. These sales would be less important if they were in NA, but EU is the fastest growing market for video games and MS was in serious danger of losing it to Sony. Sony is going to have to respond, I think. They might weather this holiday season to pursue profitability and wait for the financial crisis to settle down a little, but when the next big PS3 system seller comes along (is it GT5? I can't keep track), I think they'll have to cut prices to move hardware. The Blu-ray boost has long since run out of gas. |
I highly agree, sony needs to get their gears moving if they are to beat microsoft now. If microsoft takes EU from Sony, that leaves Japan. And we all know who owns that country, thats DS and Wii lands. No one treads there safely; They need to strike some deals with developers and get some exclusives heading to their console.
Maybe think out of the box, Blizzard hasn't made a console game in awhile. One could ponder the impact a blizzard-exclusive game would have to the PS3. The point is that GT5, Uncharted 2, God of War 3 will be good titles. But that simply isn't enough to take on microsoft. Heaven forbid Microsoft has a few more tricks up its sleeve.
As for the Blu-ray boost, yeah. It is gone, PS3 is a great blu-ray player. But 2 years since its release? Cheaper, and just-as-effective blu-ray players have entered the market. Blu-ray was a great boost to PS3. But now, its simply not pulling in the numbers it used too.
Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?
