Forums - Sony - PS3 super slim could "shift the tides in Sony's favor"

nnodley on 23 July 2012

It will be an even better deal if you can put a larger hard drive in it. If this is the case then I can see a huge increase in ps3 sales.

Sorry, ignore this.

I assume he means turn the tide in America, because ps3 has sold 1.2million more than the 360 this year...

Mandatory installs, ginarmous patches, PSN games. I am not entirely sure how people will think that 16GB is suffice. Need an 8th of that just to play GT5.. Hmm


Some people survive on 4gb 360s...just sayin'

Ya, but you don't have manditory installs for 360 games, just optional.

No mandatory installs, and patches usually range up to 70-80MB MAX, with few exceptions like the battlefield series, not as big a deal, but when games are on BluRay and are much larger than the standard HDDVD games.. You're going to have a bad time. (I had to get up to 1.5-2GB patches when I got my PS3 just to play online). In the end I never got around to MAG because the patches were taking too damn long.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I read recently that Halo 4's multiplayer will require an 8gb installation...

My point was mainly aimed at downloadable games.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Yeah, but then again, what lunacy is it that in order to play a game that you brought for full price retail you need a bigger harddrive to actually enjoy the experience properly? Of course if you are aware of your HD constraints, you won't be purchasing stuff digitally.

Not required, but highly recommended. I think for downloading Spartan Ops missions.

i think this isnt targeted at people like you and me, the hardcore gamers. i think this is targeted at families and kids. you know that is there strategy and target audince this holiday. people who would play sly cooper, littlebigplanet karting, playstation all starts. you know people who wouldnt care (or even know) about installs and stuff like that. parents do tend to buy cheap consoles for there kids and this would be great for them. and for people like us sony has the 250 gb SKU just 50 bucks more, i think what there doing is pretty smart
