He should have come clean on that one. But hell, $100 less on a Ps3. Looking good. And probably a further drop by Christmas. You lucky ba$tard who have been waiting for the price drop.

As for killer app....Warhawk, Socom, Uncharted & HS are all going to play their part in increasing sales but the first killer app should be .....drum roll..... Little Big Planet.

GS: Are price cuts going to follow in other regions, like Japan and Europe?

JT: This is just a North American announcement.

GS: A lot of European gamers think they're getting a raw deal, with the PS3 already proportionally costing more than anywhere else, and now no news of a price drop for the region. What would you say to them?

JT: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is working very, very hard to bring added value to the European consumers. There will be announcements coming from them, but I personally cannot comment right now, I'm afraid.

mmm... i am waiting :P

SimmoUK6133d ago

he doesn't say no, he just says that there aren't any announcements at this time you know what that normally meens :)

Nicosia6133d ago

Yeah thats why i'm so hyped up, the moment that thing drops i'm getting it!

Premonition6133d ago

That question about asking 10 different people and getting 10 different answer, I have a feeling most of those answer would be GTA, I think hes making a bold statement with that one, just like when he said I bet there wont be any PS3's on the shelves past 10min or something like that, and he put money on it, and alot of people start posting pics of PS3's sitting there for that amount of time, which was another bold statement made by him. Hopefully his plans do work out.

JT: We've had different competitors over the years, and we've never been first to market, or been the cheapest. We believe in a 10-year life cycle. If you spend all your time thinking about your competitors and what they're doing, then you lose your own path.

Translation...... Were getting owned and Pawned

I guarantee this guy has a 360 in his living room.

Your avatar is real appropriate. Be real proud of yourself, starting the flame war in yet another thread.

Mighty Boom6133d ago

Truth hurts...

Just my opinion

Azures6133d ago

From his statement you gathered your intellectually stimulating opinion, even though its the truth that they have never been the first to market and still manage to annihilate any competition in each generation over the console's lifespan.

Altough I disagree with mightyboom, How can you hate Sloth?!?!?

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7216h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast18h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood17h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK15h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake13h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
