As the run-up to Christmas slowly shifts up into a higher gear, you can guarantee that the gaming industry's big boys will start throwing verbal punches at one another in unashamedly self-gratifying statements.
Microsoft's latest slur concerns the Xbox 360 price cut. The firm's UK marketing manager, Dan Cornelius has said that the recently discounted price will attract consumers in the market for a console away from Sony's PlayStation 3.
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.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
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.
you sure are you got 12 million defective consoles in peoples homes thats a real good position to be in.
really is in a better position. They have the PS3 beat on the lower price point and also a larger games catalogue. The entry price for purchasing a 360 isn't much more than a Nintendo Wii. Not to mention Sony did not cut the price of PS3 in Europe at all. They only offered a more expensive starter package.
Microsoft will always have a larger games catalogue just from being out a year early. And will most likely always be cheaper than PS3 the entire generation bc Sony can't match them bc Sony started out too high.
2nd place was behind 1st place...and 1.3 billion in the hole was bad.
summary
nintendo
wii - 1st place next gen console
ds - sells like jesus made it
and no signs of slowing down
sony
ps3 - sales and games increasing monthly
ps2 - highest selling console evar ....and still selling (more than the 360 i might add)
psp - sales are doing very very well across all regions
hmmmm better position? how?
microsoft will always have larger games catalogue thats a joke right???
Yeah they're in a better position for America maybe. But 360 at this point is just doomed to a distant 3rd place unless they release a completely redesigned reliable system for $149.
