GenGAME writes: "Sony’s touting PlayStation 4 pre-orders as being “breathtakingly high,” with 1 million consoles currently pre-ordered worldwide. They’re also saying that pre-orders are currently set at 'way over and above and beyond the pre-order number at launch day.' Don’t believe them.
"PlayStation 3 hit one million pre-orders, too, despite the system being delayed in Europe – its biggest market and one they’re putting higher priority on for PS4′s launch – into March 2007."
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Bill and Lance are back!
what's the point of this "realization"? sooo it hit 1 mil preorders and is currently the second highest selling console of this gen..
Sounds like a desperate attempt to deflate any positive news coming out of the sony camp
it's hit 1million and still has 3 months till release. If they open pre orders up they will see probably another million before launch.
Worst case scenario PS4 sells equally lifetime to PS3 (probably 90mil by discontinuation)
Worst case for MS, repeat of the original xbox (around 25-30mil by discontinuation)
There are other factors to consider though. Core faith from the PS2 era moving forward but it was only that to begin with. There is much more positive press towards Sony this time around. 1 million is good for any console even with stiff competition. It doesn't mean the PS4 will go the way of the PS3's start.
Methinks someone is trying to downplay Sony's success. Tisk, tisk!
