CVG: Once an absurd notion, Kutaragi's final console could outsell the Xbox and Wii with a last-gasp flourish
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.
Well they're allowed to sell it in China now (as of Nov 2012), which will help. Furthermore, Sony has always done well in pan-European countries. The Wii is effectively dead, and MS won't have much success outside of US/ UK with post-720 Xbox 360 sales (and will they still support it with software too, is another question). So yeah, with at least another two price cuts to go - one around the PS4 launch, one a few years later - its easy to see how Sony will finish first for last gen.
A real limp of a start, but Sony always said it was a marathon and not a sprint. Still, its good to see them going into next-gen with a bit more focus and less hubris (PS4).
"But here we are today, with an estimated 77 million PS3s sold worldwide, about 23 million units behind the market leader, the Wii - and enough potential in the console to carry on past Nintendo's high-flying system.
Let's get the clearest fact out of the way: the Wii is not going to sell many more units."
This is something I've thought about for a while. The possibility is there. PS3 is steam rolling at the moment, I think it sold about 1.2million in February globally, if my memories right.
With Wii effectively dead, and Sony showing ps3 continued support with games like GT6 (possibly) and Beyond,.....why not?
If all 3 consoles hit 100 million units sold, this would make for quite a remarkable generation
"(amazingly when you think about it, the ps3 still costs far more than what the Wii did at launch in 2006)."
Well written article btw. It has very sound reasoning which actually shows it will definitely overtake the wii's total sales. Further price cuts and Sonys continued support will be a big part of that.
"In April and August 2006, Sony reduced the price of its PS2 to $129 in the US and £99.99 in the UK - the console went on to sell more than 40 million units at this low price point. Then in 2009, the PlayStation 2 RRP fell below $100 in the US and at similar prices worldwide, picking up another 15 million sales thereafter."
PlayStation - Number 1 console, 3 generations in a row
Not strange just FACTS PS3 been whooping 360 @ss WW all gen.M$ had America all gen keeping them afloat with a year head start....once Sony announced the slim the PS3 was selling like hotcakes forcing M$ to jump on Kinect gather some casuals to keep up with PS3 sales.
Kaz and Ken where right 360 was nothing to be worried about they should be proud they got the last laugh....
No.
And to win anything it must first recoup all of its financial losses, and that's not going to happen.
We will also never know the truth about sony's sales numbers because they've only pushed shipped figures, combined ps2 and ps3 shipments for 2 years, and channel stuffed 3 hardware revisions.
PS3 will not sell another 25 million units. Xbox 360 will not stop selling.
