So if the xbox720, comes out next year. Were does that leave Sony.

Out in the cold thats were

PirateThom4232d ago

Support doesn't mean they won't have a new console announced or ready to go. It would be too early to say "we've a new console coming soon", PS3 sales would take a nose dive.

LackTrue4K4231d ago (Edited 4231d ago )

hes expecting that, since that's what happen to the first Xbox.
(Microsoft) "DROP SUPPORT NOW!!!"
EDIT: 3rd party's still supported the OG xbox, even after Microsoft stopped.

MostJadedGamer4231d ago

PS4 wont come out til late 2014.

blitz06234231d ago

PS2 was supported til 2010. Enough said

zeeshan4231d ago

I think it will be a wrong and an extremely dumb decision if Sony allows MS to get a year head start all over again!? Isn't that one of the biggest reason why MS still dominates in the US?

6 months? OK, I get that but a year or two is just too much.

The PS2 was out before support for the PS1 stopped, same with the PS3, and PS2. The PS4 will be out before PS3 support stops.

ddurand14231d ago

Yup. i thought that would be clear to everyone else.

rainslacker4231d ago

2015 actually seems kinda soon, considering they still support the PS2 6 years into the PS3 life.

OC_MurphysLaw4231d ago

Support implies software made for the system. Sony stopped that support about a year after the PS3 came out. They internally stopped making games for the platform. I am thinking this means a 2014 launch for ps4.

MostJadedGamer4231d ago

No console generations are going to start overlapping more, and more, and become more, and more blended together.

SAE4231d ago (Edited 4231d ago )

yea , why the hell they released the ps3 !!!!!!!!!!!! they are stupids !!

that's what i see from the comments here about the ps4 ... -.-

just because you ain't bored of the ps3 and it still sell doesn't mean others shouldn't get the ps4 even next year ...

since they didn't release anything about xbox 3 and people expect it next year then i will do the same for the ps4 , sony won't go and do the same mistake like before ...

da_2pacalypse4231d ago

I didn't really expect anything else from Sony. They did the same thing with the PS2. Hopefully this means that Last Guardian will be released on the PS3 :D

dcortz20274231d ago

So, Sony saying that they will support the PS3 until 2015 means no PS4? LOL wow! Please don't refer to yourself as a gamer anymore.

DeadlyFire4231d ago

PS4 is coming as well. I expect launch between Fall 2013-Mid 2014, but that is just me. Microsoft will not be alone in announcing a next generation console.

As for support its just an announced minimum support date for 1st party software. PS3 hardware and software support could last another 5 years after that. Depending on how well it keeps sales going over time.

Sony supported the PS2 for years after PS3 came out, they support PSP with PS Vita out. Sony is really the only gaming company that doesn't immediately stop supporting there old consoles when the new one is released... Sony might put out PS4 in 2013 more likely 2014, but they could still support the PS3 for years, just like PS2.
Come to think of it PS2 is still listed in hardware sales when they put such numbers out..

2015... Is it a good time to buy then?

claud34232d ago

Either way, up ti Sony. But they really need to understand the outcome if their choice

fabod864231d ago

did you read the previous comments? i thought they were clear but maybe i'm the dumb one here :/

DivineAssault 4231d ago

+bubble for a hilarious comment...

LOGICWINS4231d ago

Remember Me looks great! And Naomi Kyle? Damn..she's def Applebees worthy =D

MattyG4231d ago

How does one come to be "Applebees worthy"? I'm intrigued...

LOGICWINS4231d ago

Any woman thats cute in the face and has all her teeth is Applebees worthy!

DivineAssault 4231d ago

Her & Jess Chobot are smokin.. Any hot chick that knows her tech makes her 10x better

Cryptcuzz4231d ago

Chobot got too skinny. I like this girl much better in terms of looks.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers1d 7h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken18h ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g1d 3h ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing1d 3h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H91d 3h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola23h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn6691d 2h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle1d 2h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 19h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos1d 19h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 14h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
