Who Thought The PS3 Would Come Out On Top Back In 2007?

Everyone laughed at the PS3 at the start of the generation; just about nobody believed it would end up outselling the competition. Yeah...what now?

"But anyway, I'm just wondering where all those skeptics are who flooded forums and communities around the 'Net, saying the PS3 wouldn't only be in dead last this generation, it'd be so far behind you wouldn't even be able to see it. ...mm-hm. What say you now, haters?"

I've been reading psxextreme articles/reviews for years and this is probably the most immature thing I've ever read on this site.

psxextreme have always had 250 words or less garbage articles. I'm recall them doing worse.

Certain people had no problem with immature attacks on the PS3 (FOR YEARS), pictures of it looking like the George Foreman grill, pictures of it with tomatoes slammed against it, or articles about Sony going out of business written with little other than college humor. Now suddenly when everything for which they cheered turns out to be wrong, dead wrong and they are standing there with mud on their faces the humor has apparently left the argument. It's hypocritical to say the least and for me personally it's downright funny to watch those that love to dish it out yet are unable to take it. It is also laughable to watch logic squirm and have a tantrum. It's called comeuppance and I for one think it is time for these people that are suddenly having to take the verbal whipping though so liberally doled out to put on their big girl panties and stand there and take it. Or else just run away and hide altogether. But whatever the decision crying out loud over hurtful articles is pathetic and is the real immature act in this entire matter.

"this is probably the most immature thing I've ever read on this site."

On n4g or psxextreme?

There's a lot worse on n4g.

LOGICWINS4102d ago

I meant psxextreme lol. It's surprising to me because Ben's articles are usually rational and well put together.

Considering that back then game journalism was full of wild speculation, somehow less than now if such is believable, depending on the hour if not second every article from every site on NG4. When many of those same sites weren't saying MS would dominate or Sony would go under.

"just about nobody believed it would end up outselling the competition."

That's because it didn't. Wii says hi.

History repeats itself.

Thanks to its lifeblood, the awesome games, he platform that lasts longer wins for any hobby gamer - the investment on the hardware is well returned.

Try telling that to the people who bought Call of Duty on 360 because their friend had it or bought the Wii because Monster Hunter was a favorite series of theirs, yet they never give Dark Souls/Demon Souls a shot.

There are people who cannot and will not be persuaded into buying a PS3, no matter what. I'm telling you. People don't have an open mind about these things, for the most part. I bought a PS3, a 360, and a Wii this generation. The only one I currently own is the PS3. Why? There are GAMES to play on it. Ni No Kuni is the best JRPG since the PS2 days and possibly the best RPG this generation. Games! Free online play! PlayStation Plus! Vita cross-buy! These are all wonderful things. People just don't understand that though. They won't think about it.

Edit: Sly Cooper:TinT, God of War: Ascension, Until Dawn, and The Last of Us are coming up. That's only a few exclusives from the FIRST half of the year. Beyond and Puppeteer are around the corner. Vita users have Tearaway, Killzone: Mercenary, and Soul Sacrifice for this half of the year. God knows what's going on in the second half!

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis8h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast6h ago

It's worth a play through today.

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.

jznrpg1d 3h ago

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.

darthv721d 2h 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

anast1d 4h 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 3h ago

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

VenomUK1d 1h ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast7h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake23h ago

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

anast6h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon19h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast6h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

gold_drake25m ago
