PCW: Microsoft's Xbox 360 is more popular than Sony's Playstation 3 or Nintendo's Wii, according to new research. 43 percent of all online games console searches are for the Xbox 360, while Sony's Playstation 3 is lagging behind with 31 percent of all searches. Nintendo Wii is the least popular games console, accounting for just 16 percent of all searches relating to consoles.
The Xbox's popularity may steam from the Kinect, which was launched earlier this month.
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.
Never heard of MyVoucherCodes in my life.
@PS3ROCKS- Ud spend $200 on a doorholder? ...AHAHAHAHAHA
EDIT: Oh I see...good use of recycling then :)
Nice pic
Now the questions circulate:
Should we follow this, or the reports that mentioned PlayStation as being the "most followed" brand in the world (as well as the PS symbol being the most recognizable in the world)?
EDIT: Nevermind, this is only based on searches from just that site, not around the web.
So the 360 is the Justin Bieber of video game consoles.
