Well...they still haven't loosened up about that indie launch parity clause yet....
The vita has to be Sony's biggest disappointment in years. They've completely killed off first party support for it at this point only giving the system watered down ports. Unfortunately I didn't think they ever stood a chance in that area, the hardware just gets more and more outdated compared to Tablets and Phones and unlike Nintendo they never had a strong amount of IP's that could succeed on the system.
Yep. It's a shame as it's great hardware while the 3ds (I have both) is pretty lame hardware wise.
You're forgetting that the PlayStation 3 will continue to sell millions of consoles for the next 5-7 years---consoles that are now profitable for Sony. The 360 will be obsolete in a year and its sales numbers will be a non factor.
you got proof 360 will be done in a year? ms has already said and so has game devs they plan on supporting 360 for many years yet. keep talking all this nonsense it's great entertainment.
Microsoft has a bad habit of not supporting their old hardware after the new one is released. The Xbox 360 does seem like it will be different especially since they just made a new revision to the hardware not too long ago, but we'll see. I hope you're right and I think it's likely given how popular the console was in North America.
microsoft said like a year or so after 360 release that they made mistake in not allowing companys to keep support xbox. With the length of dev times for games i would not be shocked if we get last gen only games until at least late 2015.
. . .
LOL, they had to stop supporting the original Xbox, it was bleeding them money because it was their first attempt into the console market. I think they did pretty good if you ask me and yeah pretty sure they learned a few things along the way. There's about 80 M people with the Xbox 360s out there, why would they stop supporting it. Obviously they're gonna push Xbox One stuff but that doesn't equal you have a 360, what's that!?
JRPG's aren't really big games to be fair and that's probably the reason they aren't on the 360 since they have a very niche audience. Borderlands prequel is coming to Xbox 360 so I don't know why you mentioned it.
Did you look at earning report they released this morning? PS3 sales have fallen off the cliff. The same holds true with the 360. Lots of folks on GAF commented on how precipitous the decline has been. I would say Sony would be lucky to move another 10M units over the rest of its lifetime.
I mentioned it for both systems..? And this attitude that all games need to have mass appeal is why people dislike Microsoft in the first place. These niche games as you call them are still important especially to diversifying your library. And the Persona series is getting up to Final Fantasy appeal, so don't be so quick to shrug it off.
jrpg's are more on ps3 because sony is a japan company and their systems are huge in japan. So to make it look like microsoft don't want those games on their system is nonsense.
I said stopped supporting long ago, keywords there. The releases really started slowing down in 2011, where Sony on the other hand released several last fall including Ratchet and Clank into the nexus, beyond 2 souls, puppeteer, and Gran Turismo 6. And if we include all of 2013 this list gets even better. Sure they are now likely done as well, but that is major support right up to the release of the successor. Imagine had they pushed those to the PS4 like Microsoft did with Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and Crimson Dragoon.
Cute but the truth is that Sony will sell MILLIONS of Playstation 3 consoles over the next 5-7 years. They have markets that are just exploding such as in South America and they will continue to move units. You're an idiot if you think otherwise. The PSP is far beyond its prime and it still sells. The PS2 sold MILLIONS of units long after the PS3 was released in global markets.
Great list, and sadly most of those were released prior to 2010 (coincidently?) when the 360 became more casual focused.
PS3 sales have been coming to a huge halt as Sony's records have shown. Also you're delusional if you think it'll be a 4: 1 gap. The Xbox 360 is cheaper than the PS3 and it's still selling very well, I'm pretty sure it was the top selling console in the US for a very long time. Being cheaper than the PS3 will help give it more marketability to those exploding markets you mentioned.
yes ps3 will still be selling in 2020 when if there is a next gen of systems it will be around that time.
The PS3 is outselling the 360 by 50% or more most weeks (globally). That will only continue. And those markets WILL NOT buy a region restricted piece of hardware.
What am I doing? I'm not stretching any truths. You're getting all anal hurt because I merely stated that Sony will support the PlayStation 3 much longer then MS will support the 360 and the PlayStation 3 will sell much better moving froward then the 360 will sell. It has already been doing that the past few years (hence why it has finally surpassed 360 sales globally despite a year head start by MS).
It is very adult of you to ignore me.
It is very adult of you to cry to the mods.
but yet you jump all over people and me for saying anything bad about sony in their threads but yet you do it here
There just isn't a market for them. Xbox doesn't sell in Asia and the shooter/racer/sports gamer demographic that buys up Xboxes in the west doesn't play them.
No this topic isn't healthy. This is you and GBAstar fanboying about Sony and the PS4 in this forum and this isn't the first time this thread has gotten derailed by either of you.
What fanboying has been done? And how long ago was the PS4 even mentioned? We have been talking about last gen consoles both 360 and PS3 equally. Your perception is borderline insanity.smh
"Xbot" there you go flaming again you admit you're talking about the PS3 when this isn't the forum for that. Just scrolled back to last page and all I've seen from your posts are you complaining about the Xbox One in some and and comparing it to Sony's handling of the PS4. You also started talking about how the Xbox 360 has no future compared to the PS3 out of the blue and have since been hammering the sales numbers argument home.
I realized that saying Xbot was being fanboyistic and quickly (not quickly enough apparently) edited it. Anyway, you love to twist words and put words in other people's mouths don't you. I wasn't the one who brought up the longevity of the 360, I merely commented on it after it was already a topic. And since you're going back you will see the last real mention of the PS4 was by your buddy Timbo and a typo by me which I meant PS3.
Not buddies first off, and I don't twist anything. You keep saying that but aren't saying what I'm twisted just saying that I am doing it. So you either don't know what it means or just want to try and use big words to hope they stick.
I did mention what you did, you put words in my mouth saying I started the 360 longevity conversation when I didn't. And you twisted what I said about the 360s future, as well as brought up sales numbers which I haven't done at least recently.
Do you think it will be all Phil Spencer on stage, or will Yusif and others make appearances?
