New Year 2007 for PlayStation 3 begins with a new report from Ireland based Business analyst firm Research and Markets which claims PS3 will maintain the largest market share by 2010; albeit with a slimmer margin than in previous generations.
The firm believes that the PlayStation 3 will ultimately maintain the largest market share, with 75 million PS3s sold worldwide by 2010.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
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.
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Oh god here we go again, yes yes Sony will sell 25 million Ps3's a year, that's such a farfetched number it's not even funny, how about 40 million. It's not that the PS3 wont sell alot, but 25 million a year is utterly un heard of
It took 6 years for PS2 to reach 110 million and the competition wasn't as strong in that generation. Dreamcast was already dead through most of those years, XBox was still an experiment and Gamecube was a games only console that really couldn't compete with PS2 on a feature for feature basis. So you have PS2 selling 18-19 million a year over 6 years. To say that PS3 will exceed that with the increased strength of the competition and all the rest of the negativity surrounding Sony these days is ridiculous.
Thi is totally wrong! If you double the price of the console, you double the sales! That means around 200 million units...easily.
That's what Ken K. told me!
ill be suprised if they hit this figure! 40/45 maybe, but it all depends on the games and at this moment in time its not possible. The PS3 needs a dozen belters next year or it will be very dificult to achieve the 75M figure.
yeah and the ps3 is a joke sony is a joke and their games are a joke the 360 is getting better reviews sony are loseing thre exclusives and coming over to the better console the 360 long live microsoft and stuff the sony crap.
