Has Sony actually succeeded in anything this gen?

theJakandsig · 2011-09-07 12:10:39

Ok, so I know there are all these dumb thread I have been trying to avoid about random crap comparisons between the PS3 and 360 and how the 360 haz no games yet all the PS3 exclusives flop, and the fact that because in 2011 Xbox has lack of exclusives it never had exclusive at all and etc. etc, insert ignorance here.Now while I am a PS3 owner Ieven I have a TERRIBLE problem trying to figure out what Sony actually accomplished with the PS3 this gen.IN TOTAL it's last in games.IN TOTAL, it's last in amount of games sold IN TOTAl.World Wide sales IN TOTAL it's last place.It lost over HALF it's market share.It tries desperately to earn profit from it's games so badly we get 4 entries into one series in under 5 years.It requires you to install certain games unlike the competiton where you just put the game in and go.PSN has less games IN TOTAL.PSN has terrible security that Sony already knew about but gnored.PSN is slow.PSN has a terrible classic game selection and exclusive game collection library.PSN has a birthday password crack (Wtf?)The Playstation move has failed their expectations.The Playstation move Exclusive titles are actually almost all forgotten by many websites.They have many 1st party studios and all are making that one game series that is profitable.Long development time for Gran Tourismo, promising things the game never delivered with its 5th entry and dthe game did not gain as much traction for the brand as it did for Sony's other consoles.Playstation 3's later got rid of PS2 compatibility. That's actually a negative.PSN has a very short list of PSone downloadsPS3 constantly has been said to outdue the others in graphics, yet almost all gen it was 'HA! This machine can't do this!' then it does and then it goes back around in a circle till currently, the Xbox 360 is actually ahead this time.Sony lied about the untapped hidden magic of the Cell. Er, TEH cell.Sony Launched at a ridicoulous price point so far off I am still wondering what they were smoking. Even with Brand power that was a bad move.Sony PS3 slims have some dic reading problems with older games. Also, no PS2 B/C either.PS3's web browser is as slow as the one on the PSP and that's a problem.They lost money this whole gen pretty much untilr recently.They lost crapillion on the PSN hacking.They act like they have not lost any money this gen by throwing around money for studios and exclusives. Which in turn all make that one series.They admmitted the PS4 was a long way away based on the fact that they pretty much indirectly admitted the screwed up massively finance wise.Terribly slow Blu-ray drive.Failed 3D TV PS3 bundle.ETC. ETC, ETC.The only thing I have seen is Sony succeeding (with the PS3) to prove Blu-ray was more powerful than HD-DVD. Which even then, was not by much to the point where people don't really care much for blu-ray anymore and even downloaded movies look better now.That's the one success I have seen the PS3 do. I know a lot of people prefer the PS3 over the 360, thinks it has better games and all, but what factual thing has Sony actually SUCCEEDED in with the PS#? Help me out here, I got nothing.

[QUOTE="razgriz_101"]
getting bluray touted as a medium could be considered a sucess.

Unless you factor in the fact it getting crushed by Digital Distribution.

still in films physical media is outnumbering dd, also there is no actual PS3 games apart from a few available through DD making your point a bit moot.

its not just a medium for games, sony took a risk and they didnt want another betamax and to be honest thats came at a bit of a price for them.

[QUOTE="Cow4ever"][QUOTE="theJakandsig"] Please go and play inFAMOUS 12 while I play games like Deux Ex, Dead Island. You can't use the bored excuse when there are multiplats. Try again.
Also, I can;t believe "bringing games" when it has less games in total then all 4 of its competitors.
theJakandsig

The thing is he can play all those games on his PS3 while you can only play 2 on them on the 360 AND inferior versions lol.

The thing is that the majority of plats THIS YEAR are superior on Sony's competitors. So no, you can't use that one, try again.

Their superior? says who? you? ..lol dues confirmed to be better on the Ps3 so as the the all the multiplats this year.. try again.. still bored no games? sorry man :(

[QUOTE="theJakandsig"][QUOTE="Heil68"]Just the best console gaming experience I've had this generation. A steady stream of high quality exclusive games to play year around and I'm glad I don't have to wait a year to play a measly 2 games. Heil68

Becuase multi-plats don't exist. 10 superior multiplat and 4 "possible" quality games against 2 superior multiplats, and 7 flops with only 1 "possible quality games coming soon. Hmmmmm. Also, if you read, you can't say you liking them contributes to success. Which no one has provided other than the format war I already mentioned before. Read people.

Multi plats exist and that's why I get them on PC. 360 hasn't had a retail exclusive game in a year..oh wait..they had rise of nightmares..a 5.5 gem..

So kinect games don't count? Also, not all the multiplats were on PC. So once again, what have they succeeded in that wasn't already mentioned?

[QUOTE="Cow4ever"][QUOTE="theJakandsig"] You will be playing 2 superior M-plats 3 flopclusives and 2 good exclusives while I'll be playing 10 superior m-plats and 3 good exclusives. Hmm, my side seems better.
theJakandsig

Let's see here, quality exclusives so far: LBP2, Infamous 2, Killzone 3 360 NONE Quality multiplats: Dead Island 2, Deus Ex, Portal 2, LA Noire. There aren't even any released exclusives for 360 yet so no it doesn't seem better. And what "10 superior multiplats"?

The fact you don;t know about the other multiplats released does not mean they do not exists and that is why your are failing to provide any valid reason for the PS3's success. Blind fanboy ignorance. Also Killzone 3 and inFAMOUS 2 flopped.

Enlighten me then. Which quality multiplats looks better on the 360 this year? They are still superb games with 83 and 84 on metacritic, underrated btw. Compare this with the 360's ZERO.

Sony released a great console, with Blu-ray, Good Free online service & supported their console with great exclusives..

Surely they did a few mistakes and they paid for their arrogance but honestly Sony never truly disappoints with their systems, PS1,PS2,PS3 & PSP all managed to offer a solid games library which is what consoles/handhelds are about..
