...sigh...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Not sure I agree with that, but even if some people do believe that when is important we are in 2009 and I am 95% confident it wont be this year.  The rumor is 2011-2012 the next gen starts so if sony takes the lead in 2011 its too late for this generation



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Even if they eventually "take the lead", the attach rate is still lower than the 360... and while they are busy catching up for the enxt-generation... they sell less games (which is the goal of console gaming I presume).

...so... they can only do less bad IMO...

This and /thread.

 

Mirson's list is more of a 360 fanboy checklist than anything else.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

The ps3 is not failing. It is very rare that consoles fail on the market. I can only remember 1! The SEGA Dreamcast. That sold 10, the ps3 has sold double and is still selling. Don'y forget that the PS3 is at the same point the 360 was in its first 3 years despite launching 1 year after in USA and Japan and 1 year 5 months later in EU.

For refrence by the way... the years the PS1 launched in Japan and N. America

Sony did post a loss as a whole. Of somewhere aroudn 3 million dollars the first year and a similar amount the second year.

Do to currency exchanges losing a lot of money and the motion picture buisness having a big dropoff of profits.

The PS1 on the otherhand was reported to be doing well.

It's in the financial reports.

Anyone who tried to make a connection otherwise was just drawing a parlel that wasn't there.  The losses didn't come from that division.

 

 

yes, but it was still one of the bigger losts Sony had, but they still made profit on PlayStation later. Oh and PS3 is doing better than PS1 so i guess if PS1 was doing well, PS3 is doing AWSOME

No... it wasn't one of the bigger losses Sony had... and it wasn't related to the PS1.

Also... the PS3 is doing better then the PS1?  On what possible metric?  it's lost billions when the PS1 was profitable.

And i am kinda sick of people comparing PS3 and PS2 with the Xbox and the 360? 360 outsold original xbox because xbox sold only about 25 million. its easy for 360 to outsell Xbox. PS2 on the other hand has sold 140 million, so its WAY harder for PS3 to beat PS2.

PS3's predecessor sold 140 million.

360's predecessor sold 25 million.

For which console will be easier to outsell its predecessor?

Hey.  Say there are two sports teams.


One of them goes 16-0 and wins the championship.

The other goes 1-15.

 

The next season the first team goes 8-8

The next season the secon team goes 8-8.

 

For the first team... that season was a huge failure right?  MONSERTOUS negative backtracking?

The second team... that season was a huge success right?  They're a lot better now.

 

PS3 is the PS2's disastersous second season.

X360 is the Xbox's more successful season.
