To me, if you were to ask what MS does right, is XBLA. I would love that kind of support whennit comes to the low cost games. Just look at Minecraft. 2M now right?

I want Minecraft.

Laptop died and now currently own no PC.

Tried playing it on phone and tablet but the touch controls just don't work like you would want them to.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Sony now has a solid lead when it comes to gamers : without kinect 360 would have sold millions less than PS3.

Oh yeah, those extra million or so holiday Kinect bundle sales are what's keeping M$ ahead of poor Sony, the true representative of all "real" gamers.

Of course, the fact that M$ is still ahead of Sony despite having a non-existent presence in one of the 3 big gaming markets, Japan, doesn't mean anything when it comes to real gamers, right?

Touché... BUT! M$ is lucky enough to play at home in the biggest gaming market, the US, which offsets the fact they are struggling in Japan, which by the way is perfectly normal given that they insluted Japanese gamers by trying to steal Star Ocean 4 and Tales of Vesperia.

I'm pretty sure they've been struggling to succeed in the Japanese market a while before Star Ocean 4 and Tales of Vesperia were even released, lol.

Hehe, so MS now has a solid lead when it comes to gamers: without japan PS3 would have sold millions less than X360.

But in the end Sony has reached gamers in Japan better than MS, and MS has reached gamers with Kinect Sony didn't won over. So both have about the same amount of gamers, something around 75M (MS a bit more at the moment).

And that is why the PS3 was released with a Blu Ray player.

FOR GAMERS!

Yes I know. It's on the frontpage. But the difference between the two is less than 5%. That's not too much. So both have more or less reached the same amount of gamers. ryuzaki was insinuating, that the PS3 had reached more gamers (as Kinect-games are no games or something like that).

“Everything we do at PlayStation, we ask ourselves first, what’s right for the gamer?"

Says the company that released a $600 ($700 in Canada) console in order to cram Blu-ray down our throats.

Always thinking of the gamer first!!!!
