Talking to people in your neighbourhood about wanting which home console only tells you what your home region prefers, if even that? Where are you from? I'm sure most of the US, UK, and well any previous British colony. so you haven't voted for me in the best american thread. i can't even look at you anymore!!
Sony made Blu-Ray part of PS3 from day 1 because they wanted to promote Blu-Ray. We went over this, it hurt their gaming sector, but slightly helped their movie one. yea but the help to the movie sector wasn't big enough to cover the losses in the gaming sector or do you know somthing i don't know?
For 2013 software, I kind of agree. I think Sony will have a slow year in 2012, but it will pick up in 2013. I don;t think PS3 software will boom because I think Sony is working on games for PS3, but Sony will provide decent software. Maybe one last big hit like the DS did with Pokemon Black/White. i can see that happening
I think a better term for sleep hits is niche titles. Dunno if we will see more of those next year, but Twisted Metal and Last Guardian likely won't gather strong sales, despite likely good-excellent ratings. agreed
As for big hits, I mean games that will sell well and push console sales. I don't mean that larger, more mainstream franchise are better then niche ones. Fire Emblem and Pikmin are two of my favorite franchises and they sell 500k-1 million units each? I'm also huge about JRPG's, and not the Final Fantasy Branded ones. What non-FF JRPG has sold over 1 million this gen? Most sell between 500k-800k. Sales =/= Quality. Valkyria chronicles comes to mind. it has crossed 1m ww. not sure about demon souls.
As for your poker joke, were just too big about video games. I doubt most of the high ups in Ms and Sony know what people really think about them. Especially MS, Sony at least has a bunch of studios making games, learning. MS killed Rare, and Rare could have made MS more appealing to the casual audience (Banjo Kazooie HD Platformer? Common!). dito
As for PS3 catchup up to MS in worldwide sales. I think it's really up to MS. They are toying with Sony, and if they tried they could easily outsell the PS3 on a weekly basis. However MS is a greedy american corporation, who I refuse to support after this gen (at least primarily, every console has great exclusives). it hit or MS. without Halo or GEARS MS would have to rely on the IP they have that they think doesn't sell. but they have not put the effort into making those IP sell. Rares ip are legendary yet they let them go to waste. MS are definatly greedy, and i'm sure they making an ass load of money, but there inactions could prove fruitless on console sells. next wk i'm going to post an early look at console sells for next yr, and i'm doing it because its funny! well to me anyway?
And we keep changing subjects, just glad a mod hasn't locked this thread yet. well the topic is still gaming related so i don't see why a mod would lock the thread, and the activity is barely noticeable.
