Suffice is to say, Sony have not covered themselves in glory this gen.

Roll on PS4.

ROFLMAO. PS4. This is quickly turning into a reenactment of Monty Python's black knight sketch.

We see these same childish antics every day. Casting down labels, and ignoring the subject at hand. Whether those who do this know it or not it is a sign that deep down they know the ship is sinking. After all a couple years ago they would have picked up the gauntlet. They even openly talked about what Sony needed to do to save the ship. Now all they can do is take out their frustrations on others. They even think the name calling is actually a valid argument. 

There are no sinking ships this generation. 

There are those that are adrift, those that are sailing smoothly, those that brought a motorboat to a sailboat race, and those that are miles ahead of everyone else on a jetpack (no one criticizes them because jetpacks are awesome).

this guy again? what a clown.

"Oh, I like the ps3 therefore I can make wild accusations and shit on it. My video is 3 years old, yet it's the most important point of my article."

"Activision doesn't need an extra 100 million from ps3 game sales of call of duty or other big name games. Not one bit."

Yes, the PR is shit. But what else can they do? They needed to win the HD war and they did. I support that because I believe in the technology of BR. However, they aren't just talking through PR, they are reducing costs across the board, potentially with ps3 slim and lots of great games. That is the one thing this guy doesn't get. Sony isn't just flapping their gums, they are trying their damndest to get the ps franchise back on top. The only bad PR would be to admit they are so far in the hole.

I quit Destructoid because of Jim Sterling. I don't care about that BS. You don't *constantly* bash a console..because you like it. Otherwise, the only thing you would've heard from the gaming community last gen is 120+ million people saying the PS2 sucks. Screw him

@ Mirson )

What?? You are mad because 360 owners will be able to play FF13 aswell ? Now please, don't make me laugh that hard.
I don't consider titles "lost" when my system of choice still gets them (first day).

The guy nailed it? I'm sorry that is the stupidest article I've ever read. I actually thought you wrote it so I read the WHOLE DAMN THING.

A full-fledged known Sony fanboy thinks the article is the stupidest he's ever read.. who would've guessed?

I never really understood your sig, btw; There isn't any new Xbox coming out in 2010.. Microsoft stated they're only halfway through this gen (hint hint?) and that the only thing they'll do is continue to release newer SKUs and that Natal is being developed for every existing 360 on the market..

Sony is making the right decision. The need to make a profit. I don't know if the PS3 is making money yet or not, but the last I heard a few months ago, they were still losing money each console. Activision's threat is very empty. First, Activision is not that big of a company. What would Sony lose? Call of Duty. Losing one franchise is not a big deal compared to all the great games out on all consoles right now. Now, if EA were to tell that to Sony, they could have a problem.

Activision is the biggest third party.

Actually, I could've sworn it was EA.

No, it is activision, especially with the MMO revenue. Anyways, the threat mostly was that, a threat. I don't think they would do it, but if they had research and data saying the opportunity cost for doing a ps3 port outwieghed the money being used somewhere else then they would do something else. Most likely for smaller projects that won't sell much. This is also the same reason why some projects are not localized. 

If Activision were actually serious about withdrawing PS3 support, then it wouldn't be Activision for very much longer.

Ok, let me explain. First of all, I'm not a full-fledged known Sony fanboy. PS3 is my favorite of the three home consoles. I don't stand behind the company's stupid PR and never have. But this article is just plain fucking stupid. This guy claims to be a big Sony fan, yet he says that the PS3 sucked and was a laughing stock before it was even released. How can someone know that about a video game console before it is even released?

I'm sorry, I'm sure it's easy to say PS3 was doomed from day one now, but nobody expected the console to be doing this bad in 2006. Even with the $900 pricepoint people still thought it was going to catch 360 in a heartbeat and they did not even consider Wii competition. This guy makes himself seem like some sort of prophet sent to help sony. And what is this grabage about Howard Stringer's comments on Activision? Here, let me put it better than he did, fuck Activision. They threaten a multi-billion dollar company who is losing millions on the production of a console to cut their price even more? Stringer's response is what any fucking business man would have said. "Sony needs Activision more than Activision needs Sony. They are the world's biggest publisher so when they talk, you listen". FUCK NO!!! It's a mutual business relationship, and if this author doesn't know that he is stupid.

And what's this shit about Sony had to issue clarification on what the PS3 was. Is this guy fucking retarded? IT'S CALLED THE PLAYSTATION 3! YOU'RE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IT IS??? Look, if this was simply called "PlayStation" and Sony was just entering the console business, maybe I'd take a look at this wacked out point.

This article is fucking garbage I'm sorry.


Also, as an explanation to my sig: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=4047

Motion controls in the HD consoles is a dumb idea IMO. If that link goes on to be proven wrong I will gladly remove that part of my signature.

agreed and couldn't have said it any better
now what sony needs to do is get a new sku which doesn't have the blu-ray player in it which makes the price go down like a lot and then announce that for like 200 or at highest 250 and then bring out some legendary exclusives and then watch it rise although ninty and ms would counter especially ninty with NSMBWii Yay and in that case i'd buy wii over sony 200 or 250 console because of NSMBWii but back to the point thats wat they need so sony shut up about what u think and how u r in a different world then ninty and u are the leader cause u r not the leader ninty is and ms at second so shut up and do wat i just said now............

This is the dumbest shit ever...if they take Blu Ray out..HOW THE $@#$ WOULD IT PLAY PS3 GAMES!!!!!!!...OMG the worst post ever on this site..Im saving this...
