Sony's Greatest Failing of this Generation

Andrew Weymes of The Nightly Gamer writes: "Without a doubt, Sony stumbled through their first couple of years with the Playstation 3. Hyped exclusives weren't reaching the popularity that they should whether it be among critics or the gaming community. The high price point wasn't helping anything either and with the Xbox 360 offering more well received exclusives and a better online network, things weren't looking great for a company that dominated the console wars last generation with the Playstation 2. However, most of this is in the past and Playstation 3 loyalists have had a lot to smile about as of late. The Playstation 3 has an amazing first party line-up of games and the quality of multiplatform games are up to par with those found on the Xbox 360. Things are certainly looking up for the Playstation 3 but there is one area in which it falls short when compared to the Xbox 360."

Some people are always trying to ice skate uphill. Bad articles & persistent Xbox fanboys. Go play your so-called "better Games" (Chuckles)& your money eating console and stop making fake articles. PS3 is the best of the best & only the best can afford 1. Only broke blokes ask for price cuts.

ape0075493d ago

will grow more and more,I hope it's not only more spaces and simple rewards but big rewards,trophy room,some cool functionalities,big rewards like obtaining an arcade in your house for earning x trophies or have bigger house,more minigames,more special spaces like xi,connect home with the game itself

to me home will be HUGE,don't forget that more than 24 3rd party companies working on home

MrWeymes5493d ago

The only thing that I was ever looking forward concerning HOME was the trophy rooms. The fact that they weren't included with the launch of HOME was disappointing and the fact they still aren't present upsets me. I really don't know what I am supposed to do in HOME. Perhaps I should take up stalking female avatars? lol

ape0075493d ago

yep a trophy room will be the most attractive thing in home

MrWeymes5493d ago

I hope they have custom soundtracks by the time the trophy rooms are available. I really don't want to stand around in silence showing off the reason that some girls don't like me.

Marceles5492d ago

They aren't going to have custom soundtracks like the 360 since MS patented it. It'll have to be developer implemented since Sony won't be able to do it firmware wise because of the patent

DaTruth5492d ago

Anything with a PS in front of it just doesn't feel right to you!

jadenkorri5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

it takes about 50 reports to remove an anti ps3 blog/post/article, but yet 360 reported 10 times is removed... so this article is like 30+ reports only like 20 more...

Seems that Sony's so-called failings and sales numbers in the US (not the world, mind you) are the most important things in the entire video game industry.

At least, that's the impression I get every time I visit the internet.

MURKERR5492d ago (Edited 5492d ago )

...NEWS 4 GAMERS...not so sure anymore

FlameBaitGod5492d ago (Edited 5492d ago )

Well i cant blame N4g much, in part yes but journalism has gotten really low, to the part where they have to write flame bait articles to get hits, they don't even do research, I really doubt that guy has gone to Home, it always has a lot of people in it so how can it be a failure. If they did a search on which console is selling faster, in the same time frame, they would know PS3 is doing better.

popcan5493d ago

Oh, the plummeting hardware sales should also be mentioned

MrWeymes5493d ago (Edited 5493d ago )

Hardware sales are pretty irrelevant to me. I care about things that actually affect me as a gamer. HOME was hyped up endlessly and I really don't see its relevance to me as a gamer. Unless I am really devoid of social interaction, I usually just use my Playstation 3 for serious gaming or watching Blu Rays.

I'm not saying this to be rude but could someone explain to me what they enjoy about HOME and what they use it for?

GWAVE5493d ago

@ MrWeymes

HOME on the PS3 serves the same purpose as cross-game chat does on the 360. Well, HOME is also free and has some customization, but they're the same basic service.

halo3_640p5493d ago

PS3 sold 23m in 2 years and 3 months

x360 sold 20m in 2 years and 3 months at half the price of the ps3

everyone report the article as Fake/lame/spam

plus x360 is the least selling console in WW sales being dead in both Japan and europe

ThanatosDMC5492d ago

Home vs NXE's Avatars = Epic Phail.

What does the competition have against Home so much?

Cheeseknight285492d ago

Probably the fact that Home is so pointless. Why bother using it when you could be playing a game instead?

Since when were Avatars the answer to Home? That's just about the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day.

Mr_Luke5493d ago

Wow, same old soup. PS3 bad here, PS3 bad there... internet has become very boring, can't find anything interesting, only copy-paste of everything else you can find around (over all when it's about Sony and PS3).
I'm not saying it's all false or those craps, i'm saying that's a bit boring reading the same things over and over.
I'm only sorry for those ppl who live on sales numbers and so, it's something very sad.

TimeShift - FPS Game Standing the Test of Time

TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia4d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator4d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Father__Merrin4d ago

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?

Not clicking on your article otherwise.
