Forums - Sony Discussion - Is The Playstation 3 Really Doing That Bad?

There are precisely two reviews of RE4 Wii edition on Metacritic thus far. The "average" score is a 90, which grants it "universal acclaim" (87, 93). The first review has this relevant text:

"By dividing control of Leon's movement and gun use between two hands, Capcom has redefined the game's aiming system and freed the game from one of its former niggles. Now you can actually shoot your enemies' individual limbs, taking out heads or legs, with relative ease - something that proved frustratingly awkward on GameCube.

The pointer calibration here is so sharp you could cut yourself with it: even compared with Nintendo's own gunwork in the Duck Hunt-styled passage of Wii Play, it feels like there's greater precision in Capcom's handiwork. The crosshair visible on-screen doesn't shake (unless you're really scared and can't control your hands, of course) and there's no need to move your whole arm (unless you want to copy the hired stooges on Wii TV ads) - the result is an effortless and flawless targeting system that does exactly what you demand of it."

@ Bodhesatva.... I really hope it does play really well, it would be a game I'd love to pick up when I get a Wii, I didn't keep my PS2 version and now regret it. Again sorry, I was just pissed at GBallsack for taking my words out of context and continually talking shit in the Sony forum. BTW, funny side note, if you type picc into the PS3s browser it actually has piccadilly in the predictive dictionary... Who in the hell still uses this word? Anyways it gave me a chuckle, thought I'd share =)

It's cool man, I respect your posts. If anything, please notice that the only real complaint I had about your entire post was the RE4 part. And yeah, I definitely get angry at antagonistic posts sometimes too.

well, but people, do you understand anything about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand ?
wii costs 250$, and it`s bestselling console now.
x360 costs 400$ and it`s selling the same as console of 600$.
ps3 costs 600$ and it`s selling the same as console of 400$.

i mean, the real failure is x360, or real success between those two is ps3, because it`s selling as good, as console for 400$.

CrazzyMan, you're obviously trolling here... People have proved you again and again that that's not true, and you keep repeating it. I wouldn't be surprised if you got banned soon.

Are you stupid? Look here - http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&align=1 ps3 is doing same as x360 in first 6 months, and 4 month ps3 wasn`t selling worldwide.

Or maybe you that stupid, that think, that after 1 year ps3 will be doing worse, then x360 today? LOL.

IMO selling as well as the XBox 360 did last year is OK for now, considering many of the games so far have been 'quick' XBox 360 ports and with the PS3's big guns are yet to hit the market later this year.

Personally I do think the numbers on this website are a bit off target for the Others region, if the PS3 sold about 1 Million+ in PAL regions so far. I guess tracking accurate data for countries like Russia, Taiwan, South Africa and India may prove to be impossible at this point without some figures provided by Sony themselves.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

This time I'm not going to report you to the mods, but it's the last one. Keep the word "stupid" for people who give you enough trust to use it on them. I'm not your brother or anything.

Then just don`t post stupid comments, which are FAKE.

PS3 is already dooing as good as x360 in first 6 month, and after around 10 AAA games released till May 2008, it will do even better. It`s a LOGICAL thing.

Do you understand, that difference between 16-18 mln. x360 sold by march 31 2008 and 10-12 mln. ps3 won`t matter much? It`s over.
