PS3 will beat XBox 360 in all regions by end of 2008.



I dont see that. Gears of WAR 2 WILL BE HUGE.

Brand name means nothing and price is everything?



 

 

 

This generation has taught me that the closer these consoles come in sales and further away in features, the more it makes this forum go into a scavenging rage of fanboyism.

As far as the three console are involved, this generation is showing me that history may not be the judge of the results this time.

Around the Network

There are several lessons:

  1. Core Gamers, in spite of being heavily represented online and in the gaming media, really are not that important to the success of a console; essentially, if you target the Core Gamer demographic at the expense of more General Gamers, Casual Gamers, Non-Gamers and New Gamers you will be fighting to be a successful niche product.
  2. Graphics have advanced to a point where gamers (in general) are comfortable with their representation of game worlds and are far more interested in interesting gameplay than shiny graphics.
  3. Analysts may get a lot of press but have little insite into the direction of the market
  4. Third Party Publishers can (in their attempt to anticipate the reaction of consumers) act like lemmings and move in the wrong direction; this is in part because of their dependancy on analysts.


The japanese market gone all nitendo

psrock I thought you were anti-XBox 360. The XBox 360 was hurriedly rushed onto the market and is now suffering.



if they didnt break so often, i'd have one already. They have the games i like. FPS

Minigames can be fun to play
Standing up can be a comfortable position to play games
