PlayStation 3: Wait & See - The Logical Side Of The Story

It's been several months since the extremely underwhelming launch of the PS3 in North America and Japan. The day has finally come for us here in Australia, but the point is – it still really isn't worth getting, and not by a long shot. You would have thought Sony would use the previous months to get their act together, but, despite having all the chances in the world, they haven't gotten their own act together – rather, someone elses.

Let's begin by discussing the entire point of a video games console – the games. The PlayStation 3 seems to have built up a hefty array of launch titles, but by saying they've gotten someone else's act together, there is no kidding there. These aren't PS3 exclusive titles, and many have been available on the Xbox 360 for months now.

you can read this article and whine and say - this is an anti-sony site or read the link at the end which says - "Want the other side of the story? PlayStation 3: Buy it Now." and say - this is pro-sony site. q:

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!

It has sold better than x360 did in Japan -and- North America its first 4 months with no NextGen competition.

between Ps2's DVD player and the Bluray player in PS3. While everyone admits the DVD in the PS2 was crap the BluRay drive in the PS3 is actually scoring above the standalone players. I am not Pro Sony or PS3 but this is flamebait. If I buy PS3 it will be for the bluray player first and the two exclusive games I want second. HD is gorgeous no matter what flavour of disk it comes on.

yea the the 360 was the "first" console to be come next gen... but seriously what games did that system offer...

a pretty Call of duty.. so what...
madden that just looked good.. so what
King Kong... not even going to comment..

Only 4 months ago did I buy a good game which was Gears..

Double-Edged6244d ago

When Halo3, Mass Effect, Forza, BioShock

When these hit.

Massive sales in Consoles (360)

How can Sony survive when their exclusives are getting tossed to the 360?

How can the makers of MGS and FF turn their face around of the huge install base of the 360, when only the so called 'Gears' of war is the only good game?. They will be blind to see that it's not a good investment.
Plus - Sony has really f'kd up in so many ways. Being realistic.

If you aint part of the gaming companies... Think like your in one.
360 = MONEY

But on the side note.
The PS3's future is really not looking good at all.
If they bleed exclusives and the 360 is lickin'm off, How could anyone say that the PS3 has a bright future?

Plus. The wii..... no comment on that.

Blu-Ray Better win.

and Devil May Cry..... 360 welcomes you Dante!!!

with the PS home..... It's cool... but still has to be proven to the almighty X-box Live..

With the controllers. Hopefully PS3 will get it's rumble A.S.A.P.

Price... Damnn....... While the PS3 can't afford a price cut, microsoft's proven system can go 100 buck cheaper and plus... maybe a black 360 with 120 HDD.

Future is lookin bright for the 360

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis12h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast10h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

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.

jznrpg1d 6h ago

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.

darthv721d 6h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 8h ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast10h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast10h ago

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.

Armaggedon23h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast10h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon1h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast3h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
