With Sony's recent announcement of a revamped and cheaper PS3 model, many technology writers and video game industry journalists have taken this opportunity to examine the potential impact of Sony's latest Playstation iteration on the gaming industry. The Financial Times wrote in an article published Aug 19th under their technology section "The high-spec – and high-price – PS3 has struggled against competitors. It has sold 24m units, compared with about 30m Microsoft Xbox360s and 50m-plus Nintendo Wiis."
This is a lie.
While there is no denying the success Nintendo has had this console generation with their Wii games console, the false notion that Sony's Playstation 3 console is somehow struggling against its main competitor, Microsoft's Xbox 360, is parroted over and over again in the writings of the US dominated game media. This idea that somehow the PS3 is struggling versus the Xbox 360 is not only incorrect, but it's so easily dispelled by a liberal dosing of sales data that it makes one wonder if members of the games media have any business writing about the videogame industry at all when their ability to fact check is so obviously in question.
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Oh trust me we know and the new price will only make ps3 better for the future.
edit below : exactly people love to have amnesia about the 360's head start and barely outselling the ps3 despite being much cheaper.
The punishment continues for the xbots as the PS3 gets more AAAA games in a regular routine while MS touts FFFF flops every month.
Trials HD flopped
Ninja Turtles flopped
Halo Wars flopped
Shadow Complex flopped.
How do you do it Microsoft? You took many failing tips from Sega
ALOT of spins in here
"According to Sony and Microsoft sales data released each quarter, the Microsoft 360 managed to build an 8.6 million console lead before the Playstation 3 launched worldwide in early 2007"
wow
NO SH*T ????
VG's are big business now and these media outlets know it, know how to exploit it and know how to get hits.
I also wonder what will happen if PS3 sales overtake the 360.
My hope is maybe then "journalists" will stop being fanboys and report the actual news with an unbiased approach.
Until then...go play some games and stop arguing about them.
