istockanalyst.com writes: The problems of the PS3 are multiple. It has a quirky new CPU architecture and a poor GPU which acts as a bottleneck, hobbling the capabilities of the machine. If this weren't enough there is the unavoidable fact that the PS3 isn't selling very well. We are in mid cycle now, the point at which sales volumes should be ramping up. And for the PS3, they aren't. The main reason for this is price, the PS3 is still vastly too expensive for the market and is cruelly exposed by the bargain that is the Xbox 360.
Sony are caught between a rock and a hard place. The PS3 design contained so many newly developed bits that it was, and remains, very expensive to manufacture. But Sony are not in good financial health so do not have the resources to subsidise a price reduction. Already they have lost billions on the PS3 project. It has proved to be probably the biggest loss maker in the history of video gaming.
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
Spook-A-boo is a silly ghost-hunting game where you and up to 3 friends explore different levels, hunting down ghosts in a game of hide-and-seek.
A psychological survival horror game that takes place in 1990s Poland where you play as Tomasz who is searching for his missing friend in the town Jeziorne-Kolonia. A strange substance has taken over the town and is transforming its inhabitants into grotesque monsters.
You're not going to ignore 23 million gamers now are you? :)
Old Brucey Boy is back with a vengence I see.
Hahahaha bruceongames is baaaaack!
Love these kind of articles with their 'facts' - that's about the only thing that's quirky.
'mid-cycle' - since when is 2 years old (UK) mid cycle, I think you'll find there is 3 more years until we hit mid-cycle?
'quirky new CPU architecture and a poor GPU which acts as a bottleneck, hobbling the capabilities of the machine' - yer, uncharted, KZ2, infamous, GT5, LBP, Ratchet, MGS4, Mstorm + more tell me otherwise.
'PS3 isn't selling very well' - need i remind you again, it is selling as quick (if not quicker) than the PS2, and it's most direct competitor the 360 in the same time frame.
Yes I agree a price drop would be nice for those who can't afford it as it is, but it HAS already dropped over £130 ($208) here in the UK since launch, that's not too shabby.
Please, get this cr@p off N4G and make way for some real news.
