no wonder they scream most hardcore Playstation followers are religious cult with PRAYSTATION as central idol and images of Ken and now as Kaz as saints of some kind.


Hey man... when you got such an amazing company that delivers amazing consoles and games that cater to us gamers.... who wouldn't get a little bit religious about it. It's human nature after all.


their exclusive 1st party games sales record disagrees with you, most sales come from 3rd party games and they're mostly inferior than on either PC or even XBOX360

 

Edit: most costumers are ultra casuals who links gaming with Playstation brand and wish to play games that are actually cool

Seriously....What does this even mean? do you check what you write before you hit submit lol Im not even joking I really don't understand.

It makes..... no sense at all, it's like he tried to say something but it came out as gibberish.

All nintendo home console are a big failure except wii because ps3 sold more.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Arbitrary points to support an argument. Sure, PS3 wasn't a big success, but that doesn't mean it failed. In the end, Sony still hold the most powerful brand in gaming worldwide, as you see here each week and you will see with PS4 when they don't make the mistakes they made with PS3 ($600, hard to develop for and so on).


Playstation Vita is good example of how powerful the brand is

could you please give me details on the lost PS3 has given Sony and compare that to the GP they made on this division? This because from what to read, the console business is still the only division which is making money! They lose alot on the TV's, Mobile phones etc etc.

Anyway, I will just enjoy my games!

Can't be much worse than they do at sony though.

Don't forget they secured bluray as the next HD format, and Sony the last time I checked were one of two companies to own a bluray foundry - so blurays make them money, and also remember Sony Pictures. The PS3 may have made a few mistakes, but still having almost 1/3 of the market when you released the latest and the most expensive isn't exactly a failure, plus since 2010 it's been making a profit on the PS3 production. 
Buisness can be more complex than "did we make money this year" or "how many did we sell". The OP is obviously looking to start a shit storm.

Most customers are casual gamers who link the Playstation brand with gaming, customers who want to play games are cool. I understand I just don't really get the point.  :P  No offence.

What do you mean? How do the sales disagree with me, Sony exclusives sell great,  they get great scores and people love them. What are you comparing it too the 2 exclusives that sell well on xbox gears and halo? My point still stands. The inferior part was golden though, really does spice up that comment, join Sony for they can open your eyes and free you so you can see the tyrant that is MS for what it is. Let us bow for thy name is Kaz and we shall honor you for sending down the greatest consoles and exclusives the world has ever seen.

this must be a joke, delusion is strong in you, look at their sales only three of their 1st party games crossed 5M mark and most sales come from bundles, even bad 3rd party ports like Skyrim sells better than their 1st party games.

Sony creates many new IP in desperate attempt to find something successful, but most became failure, if IP became eventually successful  they try to flush the market with this IP (Uncharted is good recent example)

You may need to count again. For the record, GoWIII has also sold more than 5m. So, the Uncharteds, GT5, GT5:Prologue, GoWIII, LBP. Am I forgetting anything?

according to this web only four and LittleBigPlanet is practically buried

A mock vgchartz thread created to defuse another thread with content the OP doesn't like. I have never seen anything like it before.
However;

1: "Lair"... no comment needed.

2: Sixaxis without rumble was beyond stupid to release, the whole sixaxis concept is useless.

3: Bleeding money, losing Sony all profits from PS2 and PS1 combined.

4: Losing tons of exclusive games and content.

5: Needlessly difficult architecture, this one goes without saying.

6: Going from 75% to perhaps 31-32% marketshare in one gen is quite the disaster.

7: Swing and a miss with Move, that thing had zero impact (regardless of sales).

8: No backwards compatability. BC was a big feature of the PS2 and quite important for many people.

9: Took a reeeeeally long time to produce a worthwhile online service.

10: Incredibly slow servers for patches and general downloads is hardly a great idea in this day and age.
