And actually there are varied expierinces ranging from casual to hardcore gaming on Xbox. Some kinect titles were rated pretty good and offered expierinces beyond "doing the Harlem shake" you may not like them but the dance games are a lot of fun to a lot of people, and it's an experience you can't have anywhere else. I use the workout game almost everyday. And fable journey, while somewhat flawed, offered some fun and a glimpse at kinect gaming for hardcore gamers.

And plenty of 3rd party games were rated higher AND sold better. Halo gears and Forza alone, outsold all those games combined.



You should want them to charge, if you want them to be able to improve PSN and the playstation brand in general. Sony is loosing money, there won't be a ps5 if they don't fix that this generation. More revenue means more Sony excellence, you fanboys should be begging for Sony to charge for PSN so they can make the necessary improvements and upgrades. I think they will, it makes good business sense to do so. Only time will tell.



The wii shyt was lighting in a bottle, but attracting casual gamers or even non gamers to game consoles is not. It used to be that casual gamers wouldn't buy consoles until the price came way down and the libraries were full of cheap games. Now casual gamers can be attracted to consoles early in their lifespans if the correct features are offered.

Sony's flagship game is and will always be Gran Turismo....


And casual gamers are hitting up tablets and phones faster than consoles. They chasing a crowd that aint faithful.

Nothing is wrong with PSN - I can play a game online and talk to peoople. All that is needed. If you want premium shyt, you pay for psn plus. The way it should be. Online gaming should be free. Still can't comprehend how yall keep giving MS a pass on this like it's the norm and it's cool, when it's not.

Forza outsold gran turismo and was rated better this generation as well.

I still can't comprehend how you can say "nothing is wrong with PSN" when developers, gamers, reviewers, bloggers, and everyone in between have said that there is very much wrong with it. And PSN + doesn't offer "premium shyt" it doesn't offer anything extra when it comes to PSN functionality, and the content you do get is far from "premium"

 

[GoldenGlove]

sounds like you don't need an xbox 720 then

Now that I know how easy it is to put together a PC, I would rather build another HTPC with the money it would cost for a 720 and just hook it up to my TV.

You see this

and a lot of conflicting emotions. I don't purport what I say as what is going to happen but given the market realities that are out there now, they are going down the path that they are supposed to go down. If there is a time to think 'big picture', it's now. We saw how quickly tablets rocked laptops out of the way. Tablets are even invading the workspace These specs that they are putting on these tablets and phones are no joke. My phone has more ram than my PS3 and Xbox 360, think about it. Plays netflix, hulu, banking, streaming, etc. These things and more are what people are, at the bare minimum, expecting going forward. Quality gaming is a part of the package, but this business has changed now. People need to understand this point. The days of Gamefan, Next Generation and Nintendo Power being the only ones covering and paying attention to consoles are long over.

when did tablets rock laptops out of the way

only thing i see ppl do with tablets is silly menial shyt u could do better on a laptop

the most use i'v seen out of ipads is coaches using them to keep team stats during games

Sony closes Wipeout studio - GameSpot.com

Ok so Sony was no longer intrested in supporting wipeout studios..wipeout is old as shyt and been played out anyway.

Socom was trash.. to the bushes
And Mag wasn't COD enough to be able to make it as an exclusive
Plus them nikkas created that horrible resident evil ops game...

Sony closes projects at UK studios | GamesIndustry International

Title is misleading. .. All sony did was consolidate those studios and pushed the more relevant games like Moterstorm to the forefront and putting less relevant games like Wipeout to the back burner..

Flower developer thatgamecompany was bankrupt when Journey shipped • News • PlayStation 3 • Eurogamer.net

Notice how the company was already bankrupt before Journey dropped because they released whack ass Flow and Flower first... Then Journey is released and it broke the psn record becoming the fastest selling psn game EVER..

Bigbig makes psp games dawg stay on topic



The truth is none of these studios woulda been successful dropping exclusives on either console... that wouldn't have been sony Microsoft or nintendo fault

And actually there are varied expierinces ranging from casual to hardcore gaming on Xbox.

Bu bu but nobody bought Fable... It only sold .15m vdchartz.com
But I see the point you were attempting to make even though you contradict yourself

All excuses. Your quick to talk about Sony exclusives, but when they fail you have nothing but excuses. The point is having a bunch of exclusives means absolutely nothing if people don't want to play the games.

Fable didn't sell well, but other kinect games do and overall kinect has been a success unlike move or sony's other attempts at gaining the casual market.

"Fable didn't sell well, but" is an excuse.. you couldn't even name any studios going down besides the makers of wipeout, flower, and socom... but lets act like Microsoft hasn't had plenty studios close up shop, just for you to make an argument
Nah breh... no one said just because we have more exclusives that means anything. .. What we're saying is that sony's exclusive library shyts on Microsoft exclusive library and Plus shyts on GOLD...

quality > quantity

What we're saying is Sony has better quantity and quality as far as exclusives go

The reviews and sales of your "playstation exclusives" proves that you have quantity on lock but quality not so much. Again outside of the top 2-3 maybe even 4 playstaions exclusives, the rest of the games were underwhelming compared to 3rd party games. And your top 2-4 games don't beat the top Xbox exclusives.
