Do yall think the PS3 will ever be #1 in america this year. I still cant understand how people can ignore it when it gives you the most bang for your buck. Not to mention that almost every month has 1 or more PS3 exclusives being released.

Many of those exclusives are just medicore, nothing to brag about. And your opinion is not fact. What can the ps3 do that adds so much more value over the 360?

Blu ray? No i have blu ray players in my house do not even use them, waste of money.

Free online? Live has much better socail feautures and is more quick and efficient, plus the best MP games are on xbox, Halo, L4D, Forza, ect.

what else?

I am not hating on ps3, i like resistance cant wait to play it this sept. but i hate when people act as if its the holy grail of consoles.

americans love action/fps and Sony got sooo much games for that audience...it must be the price dough...

I find it funny, that people are trying to spin this stuff into a victory, all three consoles are doing horrible. 


It's called saturation, if the last gen there were about 190m console gamers why now should there be many more? And take into account the fact that many people can live with only a DS, and that's actually the best selling console ever, so we're at the point of changing generation, no matter what MS, Sony, Nintendo or third parties want...



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

That is the lowest figure I have ever seen for the x360 in Japan. Surely that's a "record".


I think it has gone lower then 1000 at one point. I wonder if Japan gamers would buy XBox 360 if Microsoft bought out SquareEnix, Atlus and Capcom and had them release all their titles exclusively on XBox 360? Microsoft definitely need a couple strong Japanese developers under their umbrella for them to have any kind of success in Japan. That's a fact. Mystwalker made a couple of games and took off. There are a few small developers in Japan that made a few exclusives that were released in Japan, but they weren't big name games, so of course they sold poorly. We haven't see any more JRPG exclusives like Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Tales of Vesperia, Enchant Arms and Eternal Sonata. I was expecting more of these games throughout the life of the XBox 360. I think many XBox 360 gamers are dissapointed because of this. Especially the ones in Japan.

Yeah.. they are doing worse them last year, but I'm not surprised. Not a lot of great titles being released these months except for the handhelds. I think many gamers are waiting for a price cut at the E3. Seriously, if you didn't own a game cosnoles right now, would you buy one or wait to see if a price cut happens in June at the E3? I'd wait.

They're not doing horrible imo, more like average. This gen is really starting to show it's age though! Won't be long now.

Well horrible was a poor choice of words, I guess, but I am talking about how people are claiming victory, more so. When the point of difference, is really bad. 



 

3DS needs some software, fast.

kz3 showing some huge legs, way bigger than Kz2 anyways xD...goooo killzone!


In the Americas, yeah, but not in EMEAA.  Which is unusual.  Killzone has historically sold on par or better in Europe than in North America.  I realize North America had the advantage of the bundle, but those shouldv'e been cleared out by now.

I guess Killzone is just becoming like the many shooters other that are more popular in America.



Lowest Wii week ever, could it go any lower than this? I mean the previous low was like 20k above this one, it really nosedived all of a sudden.

I'm starting to think that Nintendo rushed the 3DS because they knew Wii and DS sales were going to be atrocious and so to prevent a massive YoY drop on their revenues and profits. That's why they launched it just before the Fiscal Year ended, so that the first shipment of the 3DS was going to be included in the financial report. And that's why we aren't seeing much SW getting released for the 3DS, not even from Nintendo, because it was a rushed decision and devs are now delaying their games to enhance quality.

Not so wise after all, since the 3DS is getting bad press.
