Why do the sales of Uncharted 3 matter to you? Does that determine the quality of the game? Well, seeing how you keep lauding the 7.2% sales lead the Xbox 360 has over the PS3, I can understand why.

And for crying out loud, why the hell do dip****s keep supporting Activision?

What have they done that is GOOD for the industry?

BF3, on the other hand, is something that shouldn't go unnoticed. EA hasn't been as bad, but then again, they've been giving me free extra content on my Blu-ray discs.

How's this-

I've seen Xbox 360 gamers (not particularly on this board) say "Why won't Rare make a new Killer Instinct?" or "Why is Valve incorporating Steam into the PS3 version of Portal 2 and not for the 360 version?"

My response is: Microsoft already knows that their gamers will continue to buy their product no matter how much they aren't delivering. If you wanted a new Killer instinct or Perfect Dark, you SHOULD NOT have purchased Kinect Sports. If you wanted additional content for a particular multiplatform game that you were interested in, you SHOULD NOT even buy the game until Microsoft has to do something to sway you into purchasing it.

But of course, there are a lot of ignorant people in the world and they can't understand the simple task of supply and demand. They aren't demanding it, so Microsoft isn't supplying it.

Sony, on the other hand is losing, hard. Them losing is to MY BENEFIT.

So you guys can keep touting those superior sales of the Xbox 360; that gives Microsoft less incentive to give you a better experience. But you are okay with that. And so am I, because I jumped that sinking ship.

Seems like lemmings are on damage control because they have no games. Lots of them using blu ray player as an excuse is laughable because average ps3 owner has 8.5 games while 360 owners have 8.9 games. SO, using blu ray player as an excuse for its sales and saying ps3 owners do not play games is compeletely laughable.sethman410

People forget about the format war. When Warner Bros announced Blu-ray exclusive that SKY ROCKETED PS3s soley for Blu-ray. Look at the numbers from that time period. Look at all the movie forums such as AVS, HighDefForums, etc. Hell, that's when I bought one. And when I did buy it I bought 8 Blu-ray movies and not one game for it. Any cow telling you otherwise is in complete denial or just wasnt around/paying attention during the format war.

First, its BLU-RAY not blue/ray. Second, and by the way your post is completley proving my point, the PS3 was the most powerful,most cost effective (future proof) Blu-ray player on the market at the time, fact. Sure, in 2011 it's not like that anymore.

Still in denial? Explain the attach rates, ESPECIALLY during this time period (2007 - 2008). People were just buying PS3s and not playing them...hmmm...wondering what they were doing with them? Do your homework before you come at me kid.

The topic title sounds slightly ridiculous, but what I mean is, like The Legend of Zelda has become Nintendo's flagship franchise, and has become their long running fantasy series that is easily identifiable because of its unmistakeable story, characters, game world, and charm, will Sony and Microsoft ever have a similar franchise of their own?

I remember IGN's review for the original Fable on the Xbox said that if Microsoft handled it right, Fable could become their Zelda, but Microsoft kind of botched that series up. As far as I know, Sony has nothing like Zelda.

In fact, te closest series to Zelda that I know of is Elder Scrolls.

So my question is, can Sony and Microsoft ever have their own Zelda like series?

"A record 14.3 million PS3s were sold during those 12 months, taking the global PS3 tally to 50 million.

But Microsoft's worldwide Xbox 360 total is higher, standing at 53.6 million (as of January 2011)."

Now you're just asserting things with no basis. I could do it too, I would say that this developer is not merely the only one affected by the outage, but rather the one being hit the hardest. Therefore he is speaking out for everyone else. I legitimately think my assertion is more likely.

PSdual_wielder

If his games is suffering a lack of interest they wouldn't be offered up for free by sony now would they?

[QUOTE="RecklessTortuga"]You guys talk as if this guy's game isn't going to get any advertisment in the sort; Just like any new release of any game on psn, it'll receive equal treatment and if gamers are interrested, they'll buy it... heretrix

[QUOTE="RecklessTortuga"][QUOTE="lazerface216"]

what does this have to do with anything i posted? this has nothing to do with PC, it has to do with PSN. it's not a free flash game, it's a lot more than that. lol you still didn't even bother answering my previous question, what makes you think they're not concerned with making a good game? you seem pretty sure about that, so much so that you would be happy if they went bankrupt.

my petty comment stands.
