Forums - Sony - How in the Christian Hell! did Sony turn the PS3 into such a B..b...b..BEAST in such a short amount of time?

I don't think the Vita is in any way rejuvenated just because it looks slightly less moribund than it did before the price cut. Software is looking better than the fucking nothing it was getting before, but it is still toast outside of Japan.

But the PS3 is awesome and seems to be the only console that hasn't been left for dead by the company behind it, so that pretty much explains that.

Six months ago their were hints and talk of the PS3 being at the too on a regular basis. But many would have asked for your thread to he locked if you actually agreed with any of that sort of talk. It was just a fun and fancy free way of joking aground with others that it seemed like it was going to dominate. Fast forward six some- odd months later. PS3 is now our system over lord and Sony rules the world yet again with a rejuvenated Vita, PSP ( in Jahpan), PS3, and deadly blow PS4 news.

 

How did this black magic happen? I swear it was Microsoft's world no more than six months or so ago. Nintendo had to release a ton of big games on the 3DS just to keep up with the vita blowing up.

Do not have a heart attack. The vita did not actually blow up. It was just a Figure of American Speech. ;-p

that made the entire thread worth it.  lulz.

that's what I've noticed.  PS3 in it's last calender year as the lead platform gets PSallstars, Sly, NiNoKuni, GoW, LoU, Puppeteer, Rain, and Beyond while 360 gets Halo 4, Gears, and Forza.  Wii got Xenoblade and SS in holiday 2011, but not much else (a kirby game I think?).  The near legacy support from Sony is above and Beyond (pun intended) the competition it would seem.  Though given that they're still selling PS2 I guess no one should be surprised.

Agreed. Even though with a huge lack of exclusives in 2012, they still owned the place. Microsoft lost its triumph card since 2010. Ps3 has been making a name for itself since 2007, and it is now when it finally fruited.



The Microsoft Xbox 360 sells most in US for countless months
The Sony Playstation 3 sells most in Europe for countless months
The Nintendo 3DS sells most in Japan for a long time until the recent PS-Vita price drop

That's the demo graphic of which game machine does best by region. Japan cares about portables and all kinds of weird Japanese games, and US cares about Xbox Live Arcade shooters and Europe cares about Sports and Racing games and prefer that on Playstation 3.

Is this a troll thread?

You know it's extremely rude to kick someone while they are down, Ryan!



Sony rarely drops the ball. Even if I stopped playing videogames I can understand why Sony would still have fans. They are loyal to their core fanbase unlike any other console.



MS world 6 months ago? PS3 has outsold X360 for 4 years in a row and on the way to a 5th straight year.

THIS.
PS3 sells by word of mouth. It doesn't need a 500million marketing budget.



PS3 is destroying the 360 since the Pricecut/PS3 Slim Release in ~ 2008 WORLDWIDE
11/12 months a year the PS3 is outselling the 360...Only CoD could help the 360 to come close.
Last year not even that helped - Neither CoD nor Halo4 were enough to counter a year without any real high quality exclusives of the PS3.
USA doesn't matter - It's worldwide that matters and here Sony is dominating for a long time now.
