It should have been a horrible year when you consider that it was one of the worst for AAA exclusives, especially given that the 360 had the one-two punch of Halo 4 and CoD. I think those who believe the brand to be in a serious state of decline are wrong. Sony made so many mistakes early in this generation; that people are still buying Playstations tells me that the support and recognition are still there. People still want what the Playstation name brings to the table--if they're honest with themselves, that is. I voted for the "multiple factors" choice. Cheaper price, great value-added bundles, better advertising, PS+, hype over upcoming games, and the fact that it's built such a varied library of games all help to keep the PS3 on people's minds. The 360 has had a fantastic life-cycle, don't get me wrong, but I think it's main weakness is the PS3's strength, which is the sheer number of exclusives that have accumulated over the years. That's a factor that really comes into play on the back end of the life-cycle. I believe it's the reason why the PS3 is so popular as "the second console". |
Horrible point..
PS3 may not have had HALO...... but really.. ps3 had everything else that released on the 360 that was huge.. halo was the 2nd biggest game of the year.. while COD was available on ps3 and 360.. COD is the biggest game of this year.. AC III is 3rd and that is also on ps3.. with DLC.. and it's being advertised as a PS3 is only getting the DLC title
tbqh
it's the fact PSN is getting much better.. PS plus is becoming a factor.. it has a blu ray player compared to the 360.. and it's brand is huge world wide.. plus a new model with 5 games for $199.. that should push it up year over year.. there is much more value being offered this year for $199 than last year..
