Sony is a freaking dickhead for asking for extra content. F#$@ them for letting the PS3 owners to have the incentive to buy ToV at full price. Damn you to hell! Sony. I hope you go bankrupt!








/sarcasm

So...If Valkiria Chronicles were to be ported to 360 a year from it's release..Bare Bones port..with no extra content...as a Console owner I can justify not wanting to pay full price becuase it's a port?.....I don't get how that works....

 

Yes, knowing there's a cheaper version. I will feel that's a rip-off if I bought it with that price. I can't justify to pay a $60 to a 1 year late port with the same content and where my excitement for that game has dwindled down. I'll just wait for a reasonable price because I am better of paying full price for the newest game. That's why if there's an extra content just like ToV I'll feel that it's worth the wait and  the said price is worth it.

Well, That's just me and I know I am not alone.

But...what if I want to play this game but don't want to buy a console for it, why would I complain about it coming to my console a year later?...(Which is actually the case I have agaisnt PS3 at the moment...But that Red and White Slim looks like it needs to be in my room :/ )

 

Why should you, as a 360 owner, pay $60 for the EXACT SAME game, when PS3 owners can buy it for half that ammount? Won't you feel that it is unfair?

Why would I?...Since I'm a 360 owner...and don't have a PS3..If I want the game....which will be released New on my console....I should have no problem paying it even if it's the same exact game with no extra content...Plain and Simple...you etheir buy the game twice(Being a dual Console owner) Or you buy the game once on your system of choice...Sony atleast was smart to force NamcoBandai for content...they now have something to tout about...But my point stands..if the case were reversed...360 owners interested would buy at full price even with out extra content...This fantasy world were game devs are lashed for charging for their work needs to be left behind...

You didn't justify anything at all, you merely stated the obvious facts. If anything you're just saying that you have to pay 60 dollars because you're stuck with it.

I'm asking why should you? Why didn't they just release it at the same time (reason: money hatting). Why did they release the later port with extra content (because the port is being sold at an higher price than an otherwise identical game)? And no one's obviously denying the RIGHT of devs to charge whatever they want. They can charge, I don't know, $70 for a game because they know it'll still well. However, we also have the right to criticize them, and not buy something we don't find worth the price.

 

Yes, you have the right to your opinion...It does not mean that things should be the way you think...

This is why Sony is the number one gaming company, smart business.

 

Number one gaming company?  Correct me if I'm wrong isn't the Wii and 360 ahead of the PS3 right now?

 

Smart business?  How many billions have Sony lost since the PS3 launch?

tell me when one NIntendo or MS home console reaches 100 million sold and more. Or even 90. Or 80

What are teh numbers for all of the Nintendo console sales?....

 

And Even if Sony were to take second place this gen...it won't make back any of the money it lost...it would have to hope that PS3 continues to sell well after this gen is over....and even then...it won'tmatter..for we will be in a new Gen....

GC sold 22 million

N64 sold 31 million

SNES sold about 49 million

Wii is at 53 million right now

NES sold 61 million

 

And yes, PS3 is not profitable but its software together with PSP and PS2 hardware and software sales are profitable which makes playstation profitable



Wii will easily outsell the PS2. Give it more time.



It's just that simple.

I thought he said the HW wasn't profitable but the gaming division was - wouldn't that mean the Playstation brand?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
