In its latest report market research firm DFC Intelligence predicts that Nintendo's Wii will win in Japan and could be the overall market leader worldwide. Interestingly, DFC thinks the PS3 could be a "strong second" and could even lead in software revenue. Because of the challenge Xbox 360 faces outside North America, DFC thinks it will finish third.
Yars Rising in its individual aspects may not be groundbreaking, but the sum of its parts is cohesive and enjoyable — and will make fans of classic games happy with what the series could become.
Experience the epic conflict of Kain and Raziel in original form or with remastered graphics.
Looks like an emulated PS version with up-res mods. Not that huge of a difference visually but still a great game.
Dive into a harrowing survival horror experience with the latest expansion for Alan Wake 2, set in an eerie new location on the shores of Cauldron Lake. Within the Federal Bureau of Control's research station, the Lake House, a catastrophic event has occurred, where reckless experiments have caused reality to collide with the Dark Place.
So... the leaked pic showing supposed State of play stuff was only part right. Last of us part 1 had the ps+ symbol on it... and now it's coming to ps+.
Alan Wake 2 had the same symbol, but so far it's not coming to ps+.... not yet. Maybe for November or December.
The Wii only has 2:1 margin in recent weeks over PS3 and the Wii actually isn't sold out everywhere in Japan.
I win the war.
I get the games I like, I enjoy myself, I win.
Surprise.
In my Opinion:
The Consoles of the Next Gen like Wii and Xb360 are, dunno...
A good example is the PS2 of the Last Gen.. its the Console which survived the last gen and is still alive in the next gen as a very popular console..
AND why? Cause the PS2 had Hardware that was not for only 2 Years,
the devs needed more time to make incredible games, like:
God of War
Shadow of Colosseus
Final Fantasy 10/12
Metal Gear Solid 3
they needed to research HOW MUCH CAN THE PS2 HANDLE, and they know it,
and just 5% of the devs which develop for the PS2 uses the MAX-POWER of the PS2
AND SO LIKE THE PS3!
The PS3 will be the surviver this time again, it got the hardware,
but this time the great Devs from Square Enix or Konami and Capcom and Namco Bandai can use everything they want to reach their limit, but the ps3 can handle it, so there is no problem, this time, the Devs got their maximum, not the console! And so will the PS3 reach its maximum imo in 2~3 years.
Its sad to say it but the XB360 already reached its limit like Epic said with Gears of War, so nobody can say: There will be better games than Gears of War!
And folks, Halo3 is not Gears of War, okay? There are Dimensions between those games, Gears of War is a masterpiece.
Nevermind, think about it, im not a PS3-Fanboy, but i like my PS3 more than every other next-gen-console. :) Im still a 360/Wii User.
Here's how I see it, if I had to make a prediction:
Xbox 360
the most consistent console of the next generation, it has an excellent initial user base because it came out first, and has the largest game library. The 360 is like the runner who got a decent head start and is running at a medium pace until the finish line. Microsoft had been coming across a few hurdles during the race, what with the Red Ring of Death and skeptical Japanese gamers, but has been able to more or less avoid these barriers by coming up with solutions. Consistency is key.
Playstation 3
call her the "tortoise" of the race, because although a high price point and small games library has led to a sluggish start, Sony's powerhouse is using Blu-ray as an afterburner of sorts. If Blu-ray is a success, if Sony can drop the price of the console, and if the games library can crank out some AAA titles, there's nothing to stop this freight train from blowing past 360 and Wii as it "sonicbooms" its way to the finish line. The question is, can Sony turn on the afterburner soon enough to get that momentum going, because Wii is still far ahead, and 360 just grabbed a bottle of water from the sidelines in the form of Halo 3, as they near the finish line that is the NEXT generation.
Nintendo Wii
this little sucker has two powerful tools going for it, motion sensing and a comparatively low price point. The Wii started the race at a full speed sprint, and is in danger of getting tired towards the last lap because the other two consoles will drop price points, and offer a better package of gaming overall (HD games, graphics). Don't lose your breath near the finish line Nintendo, Xbox 360 is right on your tail and PS3 is in the back gaining speed.
