Forbes - If you still don’t have a current generation video game console, you may want to consider the PlayStation 3 over the Xbox 360. Here’s why.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It's 2012 and we're still getting articles like this?
Where the hell have you been?????????
It's 2012 and both have been out since 2005 and 2006. Just have both of them.
I'd tell anyone to consider saving your money and just wait till the new consoles next year. Why waste $200-$300 when you can put that towards a next generation console? If rumors are true, according to that leaked Xbox 720 document, the next Xbox will have an SKU at $299.
I think the current consoles are at their saturation point, but if you are absolutely set on one, both have positives and negatives, so I'd say it depends on what your looking for as a gamer. People new to the Xbox 360 or PS3 will have HUGE back catalogs of exclusives and tons of other games.
1) PSN is free - but has 15 maintenance schedules per month
2)PS3 has Blu ray drive - don't care, don't buy movies
3)Better exclusives titles - problem is i haven't seen em so automatically i don't give a shit :)
4)The PlayStation 3 controller is rechargeable - but designed for 10 years old kid hands
5) The Kinect isn’t ready for the big leagues - who gives a finger about kinnect anyway
6)PS Vita, Sony’s latest and greatest hand-held gaming device - $ 300 for a gaming device that has not even one title that would remotely interest me at all
and that is my opinion
Not trying to bash on PS3 users but articles like that are completely pointless and i don't even understand how Forbes got into writing such a a junk
