You a thesis? LOL, The point that your getting as is that your trying to shred/disprove the points you don't agree with so it makes it look like the article is full of nonsense amd unreliable. I Don't see you Shred through and try and disprove positive News for Microsoft and Nintendo. Why all the hate?

Perhaps you haven't looked hard enough. In no place did I say the article is full of nonsense, I simply pointed out some of its mistakes. It's not a well written article in any way (even if I agree with some of the points it makes).

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

There's no such thing as a "must have" title.

I'm sure there's lots (10% +) Ps3 owners who would choose Singstar or Buzz or some other game over Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Resistance 2. Less than 1/3 do probably consider one of those games to be their favourite game.

 

I read parts of the article now, and while he has a point, he messes it up by going into a defensive mode, and posting lots of "filler".

 

It is by no means a great article, but he has a point. Personally, I'd much rather have someone from VGChartz write this article, as there would actually be a point discussing it.

 

And Jgarret.

 

I believe the Ps3 will end at about the same as the X360. 45-55M. That's more than decent in units (heck, they might beat the SNES) and they will be closer to the Wii than the "losing" consoles have been in any previous generation (save for 4th gen, with SNES vs Genesis).

They need to sort themselves out financially, which they probably will to some extent. Sony and Microsoft know buisiness. They're not going to be complete morons and lose tons more money. They'll try to fill the gap they've lost so far. I believe that is their new primary priority.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Sigh. A wall of text written by an unknown blogger who obviously is a Sony fanboy.

How's a sony fanboy just calling for people to enjoy whatever console they have?

I'm not too familiar with the site. Someone linked the article from the afterdawn forums. Apparently the guy who wrote this has posted his fair share of sony hate too but he too thinks it's getting ridiculous this christmas (from the linker who's a regular follower of that website).

Give the author some credit, he knows more about gaming than CNN  and TIME

But does he know more about Buisness.

Which is what low PS3 sales count as.  Not gaming.

"MAKE IT LOOK LIKE", are you clear?

The only reason the console costs so much is because Sony made a command decision to push Blu-Ray at the cost and expense of gamers.

I'm sure they're happy with their decision. It helped to introduce Blu-Ray.


Well, I'm not sure they're happy. It sank the games division into unprofitability and devalued the Playstation brand by helping put it in third place in the console war. Perhaps a part of Sony is happy about it, but not all of Sony is.

It's funny.  If i had to put money on it... I'd guess that the Wii would probably make more money for Nintendo then Blu-ray does for Sony....

not even counting the massive PS3 losses.

Do you think people are buying HD televisions because they don’t care? Of course not. They want HDtv.


Or maybe they want a flat and nice looking TV. Jumping to conclusions = bad. By the way, the majority of TV owners still don't own a HDTV.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Resistance 2 are all MUST HAVE TITLES.


No they are not. There's no such thing as a must-have title in the first place, and Heavenly Sword is certainly not one of them.

 

Surely you know that the term "must-have" title gets tossed around a lot for any system. You're right that there's no must-have title simply because everyone is different. If anything, it seems to me that the guy is just tired of hearing that "ps3 has no games" BS that some people still throw around.

As for TVs, how many SDTVs are flat and nice again? Whatever the reason people are buying them, they're buying the HDTVs regardless. Seems to me that you're looking for any chance to derail this article.

In any case, Heavenly Sword is not a must-have. It's not even one of the highest selling PS3 titles despite having been bundled in some countries.

How many SDTVs are flat and nice? Not many, considering most SDTVs are CRTs.

 

When did must-have title become synonymous with sales. The only title on wii I've seen that I'd really like to play is fire emblem. However, it's sales don't add up to even Heavenly sword. I prefer fire emblem to heavenly sword even.

As for SDTVs, that was my point, it doesn't matter what reason HDTVs are selling, all that matters is that they're selling.

Am I also allowed to accuse others of "making something look like something"? I can play that game, it looks like fun.

OK, here it goes: Some Sony fans here are making it look like Heavenly Sword is better than 90% of PS3's game library!
