Still waiting on this "awesome" library for the Wii...



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Uncharted, R&C, MGS4, Valkyria (I have Japanese version), Folklore - All games that I enjoyed

 

The Wii has Brawl.  Zelda plays much better on the GC.  No More Heroes I guess is pretty good.

 

The DS has a great library, so don't go saying I'm anti-Nintendo.

Sony made some smart post launch decisions to steer the PS3 Titanic away from the iceberg. They promoted Kutaragi into retirement, changed all the marketing for the PS3, and began to try and fit it back into it's place as a gaming system. The result of this is that the PS3 worked its way back into being a real contender. Now, as far as market share goes, the PS3 is a horrible failure. They sacrificed a huge amount of the market in this blunder. That is not all their fault however, they slipped when the other guys didn't. By the time the PS4 releases, the PS3 will have laid much of its criticism to rest. I think Sony has a better idea of the Playstation's identity now and won't make the same mistake again. It cost them dearly this generation. Nintendo really hamstrung Sony with the Wii in Japan (I think this was the most damaging to Sony in overall image). Even if we take the Wii out of the comparison, due to arguments about different markets, if the PS3 pulls more overall market share than the 360 this generation, it is still a disappointment. Their market share dropped like a rock, while Microsoft's rose a great amount.

All in all, the PS3 has improved greatly since launch. The online system has improved greatly and I think Sony was smart to pull Home back to completely rework it into something that fits the PS3's role as a game system. I'm not sure LBP is going to move that many PS3s. Sony seems like they are going after the people in the market that are still buying Wii's. Given the big price difference and the lack of PS3 games outside of LBP to support that image, I think they are going the wrong direction. I think they will do better promoting their action games like MGS4. I also think they might be creating some problems with all the different versions of the PS3 they have created. If they really want to convert their PS2 crowd to the PS3, keeping backwards compatibility, at least for one model, would seem wise.

To keep their momentum going, though, they really need to whip those first party developers. GT5 is a big one for them. Screw LBP, get GT5 up there with a special GT5 Edition PS3 and that will move some serious units. The development time for GT5 is shameful. That is how I bought a PS2 with GT3. Get a Team ICO game out there. Games like ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are not blockbusters but they flesh out the catalog and give some more exclusive support.

I give this thread a 9.4.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

@Final evangelion: That's why I hate PS3 fanboys like you. You deny Wii's succes and put into manifest your biased view. Those games you named mean nothing to me. Hell, Wii has more games I enjoy than you do on your PS3. Therefore (fanboy logic) Wii is better than the PS3!!1one!

Quite naive. The Wii has Zelda, Galaxy, Mario Kart, Brawl, No more Heroes. Boom Blox,  Red Steel, Wii Fit, etc etc. and these are games that i also have enjoyed despite some of them having a number of flaws.

 

Your post is a joke to be honest. I could have said that the PS3 has only MGS 4 and we would be equal in our stupidity, only thing is, i'm not that naive to go around talking such bullcrap.

 



Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?

Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.

Actually, I have been a hardcore Nintendo fan in the past, even though I owned Sony consoles.  I also named exclusives, not multi-plats.

 

Nintendo fanboys like you bother me that come into the Sony section to show your hatred or troll.  I never enter the Nintendo section much at all.

 

No, I'm not denying the Wii's success.  It still hasn't made many games that I like compared to previous Nintendo consoles this far into the generation.  I didn't deny the Titanic's success, but do I still have to like it because it's popular?  Sometimes, the Nintendo fanboys here want to put a gun to my head and force me to love everything about the Wii around here and throw my PS consoles out the window.

 

BTW, I'm also enjoying my 360 as well.

Zelda is a gamecube game and plays alot better.  Mario Kart is much better on the GC.  Brawl is good, I will give you that.  Maybe Bloom Box is good, couldn't say.  Red Steel was pretty bad with motion controls, in MY OPINON.  I don't give two craps about Wii Fit.

^quality is better than quantity, and dont you dare count those ps2 ports at the beggining of 360 lifespan

Hey, bud.  That's Nintendo's Gamecube trademark.  You can't use it.

I hate to break it to you buddy, but the Wii is still crushing the PS3 in all three major markets.

 

the fact that wii is selling more than ps3 and 360, does not make the console better, in fact it does nothing for the gamer what soever.

ps3 games and 360 games are light years ahead of wii games.
