Paidcontent.org: News that pre-holiday sales of Sony's PS3 console slipped year-over-year (in contrast to marked growth for the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360) led some analysts to conclude that the PS3 is all but defeated in the next-gen console wars. Well, some big brand advertisers don't think so, according to Jonathan Epstein, CEO of DoubleFusion, one of the biggest in-game advertising agencies. He told me that in-game ad campaigns for the PS3 were in high demand, and that the company had "sold every impression we have on the console." (DoubleFusion also brokers ads on Nintendo's Wii, among other consoles.)
Epstein said that some of the hype about the PS3's demise is a little short-sighted: "People also said that the Wii was a fad when it first came out and was going to go away-and look at how successful it continues to be. From what I understand, the PS3 was designed to have a longer life-cycle than other consoles. The PS3 is a seven- to 10-year product-not a three- to five-year product."
Maybe the market could have supported long-term investments in expensive hardware a few years ago, but with little to no growth forecast for electronics purchases in 2009, Sony may have to revise its strategy if it wants the PS3 to really thrive.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
It is a 400-500$ console
it is like 4x as pricey as x360
With KZ2 and the eventual lineup of SW PS3 will win console war .
The price of PS3 will come down in 2009 and with the SW lineup i think it will win this war in 2009 and beyond
@editor
PS3 sales have jumped 40% over last year in USA
SONY said that NOV sales of last year was high since a price cut and a 40gig model of ps3 was launched last year in november
I think PS3 will have similiar sales in US in december(recession and a 400 console) but ofcourse higher sales in europe and Japan
I am a proud owner of a PS3 hold on i just need to pop out to game station....................... ....I am a proud owner of a XBOX360.
I guess people are making websites and blogs just to discuss the doom of the PS3.
Sony need to cut the price, make a better controller, and a slimmer console.
I don't think anyone is.
Why else are these so many anti PS3 articles appearing on this site.
If the people who have something against Sony thought the PS3 was out of the race, you wouldn't be seeing so many of the things.
