Will Playstation be huge next gen? (poll)

[QUOTE="StaticOnTV"][QUOTE="ReadingRainbow4"]

There's a whole list.

But seeing how you can barely read as is, I won't waste my time hoping you comprehend anything.

Mass Effect 3 "better with Kinect"

Skyrim "better with Kinect"

Forza Horizon "Kinect"

Madden NFL 13 "Kinect"

Need for Speed : Most Wanted "Kinect"

Halo Waypoint "now better with Kinect"

Upcoming :

Splinter Cell Blacklist "Kinect"

Deadspace 3 "Kinect"

"better with kinect"

Dear god, Kinect was the worst thing I've ever experienced. Waste of $ .

[QUOTE="LazySloth718"]

[QUOTE="StaticOnTV"] A whole list of nothing like 2 games were actualy advertised and pushed by MS, there were literally no kinect focus in 2012. You have no list.Primordialous

 Dear god, Kinect was the worst thing I've ever experienced. Waste of $ .

Just for the sake of balance.

1. You're not forced to use it

2. It creates a wider community for Xbox users, for example wives and girlfriends using dance games, kids using Kinectimals, makes it more of a "family everything box" with wide appeal, ESPN3, Verizon channels etc.

My only real complaint about Xbox is no new exclusive IP's.

And even the exclusive thing is pretty much moot because it has such a huge library of multiplats that you don't even have time to play everything.

Xbox mainly loses the "Gamespot metagame" but wins in real life among normal people.

[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]

as long as they learned you don't release a console then not have a decient library on it for the following 3 years it will do better than the ps3 did.

I bought my ps3 in 2008, it was $400, and after playing heavenly sword at gamestop kiosk it really caught my eye. Being a pc only gamer during gen 6, it was the first console bought since buying the PS1 back in 97'. When 2 AAAA games came out back to back MGS4, and GTA4 and GTA wasn't announced for the PC... well I had to have it. And I was glad i did. It has remained my goto Console of choice. A device to complement my other top platforms, pc and psp at the time.

If Sony keeps releasing the great games, and more quirky JP games and jrpgs come over to the system then it will remain a core gamers paradise, and maybe attempt to be as phenomenal as my coveted console of all time the ps1.

The dominant force, it's the only answer.

Great sig. Don't know if you've been to GAF lately but they are making brilliant uses of Kaz's face-

On topic I can't see any realistic scenario in which PS4 does worse than the PS3.

Results (why the above makes PS4 likely to be better)

===================================

Architecture likely to be competent (because Sony didn't design it)

LazySloth718

CELL's SPU was based on PowerPC's Altivec/VMX IP. CELL is IBM's attempt on heterogeneous computing.

AMD's "Fusion" (later renamed to Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA)) is AMD's attempt on heterogeneous computing.

AMD's "SPU" would be based on AMD's Radeon HD GCN (Graphics Core Next) designs.

Of course. Sony is one of the big three for a reason. They are the market.

I have no idea if they will be huge. I hope they will be great next gen. I love the games they made for the PS3.

Doubt it. Sony's first party games aren't as strong sales wise and making games is too expensive for third party to make exclusive games for one console. Ghost120x

Sony fanboys can be pretty loyal to Sony (even if they release a console for $600 with no games) so they will be loyal no matter what. Eventually it's going to bite them in the a$$. I don't consider Sony fans to be the best consumers, kinda like Apple fans. Last gen I was a PS2 owner, then I switched to the 360, now I don't know what I'm going to get. Waiting for price, games and hardware details. I really think Sony lost its vision when it comes to gaming. I don't think they'll learn anything from last gen, I think it's only going to get worse for them but who knows.Miketheman83

PS3 sucked compared to 360 in the beginning.

But after around 2008, PS3 started getting better and better and now towards the end of the gen?

Even the most hardcore Xbox loyalist should realize when they're being teabagged.

PS3 fat = $599 + $0 = $599

360 original = $399 + $50*8 years = $799

That's not counting RROD, scratched up disks and 8 years of Halo Gears Gears Halo Halo Gears Forza Halo Gears Forza Halo Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect.

And that's why you don't buy a platform day 1.

Day 1 they're all lovey dovey, bringing you tea and massaging your feet.

By the 8th year, they're raping your mother on the kitchen table and charging you extra for it.

You KNOW they gonna do the same thing next gen right? Right???

They don't seem to know what consumers want. They thought people would buy the PS3 no matter the price...they were wrong. They thought blu Ray was going to be a necessity...they were wrong. They didn't think online gaming was that important...they were wrong. They thought the cell architecture was going to be an advantage for them...they were wrong. They thought gamers wanted a virtual world to play in (home)...they were wrong. They didn't think trophies/achievements were important...they were wrong. They didn't think backwards compatibility was important...they were wrong. They thought 3d gamingwasthe next big thing...they were wrong. They thought copying Nintendo's wiimote was going to help them they were wrong.

I really can't think of much that Sony actually did right this gen except release a lot of exclusives...which they had no choice because they were missing out on tons of multiplats because of the cell. The PS1 and PS2 were affordable consoles that had the biggest game library. THE PS3 WAS OPPOSITE OF THAT.

Now if you look at the PSP and Vita...THEY ARE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES. They have lost sight of what consumers want and they are suffering for it. I really can't see that changing anytime soon.

Given PS3 launched a year later and at a silly price and still managed to catch up to Xbox360 I think Sony will be all set to do very well this coming gen.Can they lure people away from XboLive though is another matter.It should'nt be difficult if PSN stays free but people love paying for that XboxLive....I don't get it to be honest LOL.

Well just look at 2012.

Gears 3 + Trials Evol vs Twisted Metal, Starhawk and Journey

And that's why ppl pay.

lol sony never learned ---psvita any one ,  

ya i dont think so ps4 will be lucky to outsell wiius current pace lol 

mariokart64fan

what wrong with the Vita? The system's like 10 times more powerful and innovative than the 3DS for the same launch price. Just think about that and how Nintendo tried to rip you off and then again with the Wii U. Freaking shameless bastards....

The Playstation is huge every gen it is a part of

I agree with the TC.

Steam + PS4 will be the gamers way. But you know what, am sure 720 will be worth having too.

Except nintendo has a proven track record with their handhelds while sony doesn't have that same reputation yet. Also while the vita technically is $250, if you count their proprietary memory cards that price skyrockets. Hell any SD card works on the 3ds (to an extent) if im not mistaken. And 3D without glasses was kind of cool, it was overpriced by nintendo appropriately gave it a $75 price cut. Sony still hasn't budged yet.

sorry didn't finish that statement

[QUOTE="TheDidact"]Don't expect a PS2 like success again. Ever. Shewgenja

I have to admit I never even thought about that.  Of course this also makes me think about the early horrible design of the PS3 and the day the old PS3s turned off , YLOD, hacks, etc.  I had honestly been saving up for a PS4 assuming the price would be less than 1k and this just gets me to thinking I should just get myself a new GPU for my PC.

If rumors about xbox to have more expensive hardware sold by subscription is true they might regionaly limit themslefs, which means PS4 can have the chance on worldwide sales.ShadowriverUB

Because parents arent going to sign a contract for a video game console.
