"Sony has had a tremendous year with its Playstation 3 console. Thanks to a renewed marketing push, a series of blockbuster exclusives and a very strong E3 conference, the company looks set to dominate retail once again in this console generation. But despite all of the great headlines, why do sales of the PS3 continue to lag behind Microsoft's arguably under-powered console?
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Do you really think Americans buy on console's nationality? The reason is the 360 is cheap has a famous online service and lots of best exclusives in the market and multi-plats (Multiplat games tend to perform better in 360) that cater for both hardcore and casual markets.
I think two factors help to explain the discrepancy in North America: The gaming culture here is much more focused on shooters, Microsoft has spent a lot of money targeting NA, and the Arcade SKU has inexplicably sold really well here.
The same reason the PS3 outsells the 360 in Japan
I don't think PS3 really needs to catch up 360 in US. I don't want SCE publishes a bunch of generic shooters to catch 360 up in US, either.
Let's see what will happen to GT5 with NASCAR in it. If nothing happens, then SCE can forget US.
I think that in North America people want to game with their friends and their friends own a 360. My neighbor was telling me his brother just got a 360 for college because he was the lone PS3 owner in his group of friends. Now he owns both consoles. I own both, I have friends who also one either one or the other. Most of the people I actually hang out with own the 360, though.
