Two Classic Characters Return For Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries Reunion
14 hours 25 mins ago
Gaming Target examines sales data, dwindling developer support and the poor record of the PSP to show why 2008 was not the "Year of the PlayStation 3" and why 2009 won't be either.
The PS3 is most assuredly done and all they can do now is plan for the PlayStation 4. Hopefully they learn their lesson from this generation and do not make the same mistakes again. Healthy competition pushes everyone to new heights in the game industry and I'd love to see Sony return to the innovative and smart Sony we saw that nurtured the PS2 to its lofty peak as one of the greatest game consoles on all time.

The games the "writer" listed weren't very good to begin with [C&C 3, Beautiful Katamari, FEAR Files, etc.] and wouldn't have had that much of a sales effect on the PS3. I just can't agree with the article. I wonder if he even owns a PS3?
When Uncharted 2 drops, and we get to see the PS3 processor actually used to greater potential than any other title to date, I believe many naysayers and so called analysts will eat their words.
This, however.... WHO keeps coming with this shit?
Oh, right, sites I have never heard of.
Most of these no-name blog sites don't even know this, or don't care, and are just basing their anti-PS3 claims on half-assed game sale statistics cited during fanboy fights. And personal preference.
Offensive bullshit=high traffic.
It all makes so much sense!
In other words, ditto to Absolute.
It's kind of like how criminals used to have honor and respect but now are mostly retards. Still, I suppose it will make fanboyism more monotonous and eventually fanboys might get bored and just stop because it's happening so often, so I won't complain too much.
And what Krunal said. ^
PS3's are turning a profit now. What does that tell you? They haven't stopped selling, and things are snowballing, as they have been if you look at the records. Slow, but steady, and don't discount the PS2's sales still moving forward, and whatever the PSP can muster (thanks a lot, hacker community).
Believe me, any Xbox fanboys out there are idiots if they think the PS3/Sony going down is going to benefit them. Once that market dries out, Micro' will readily stop dishing out money for exclusive content, and game quality will drop severely. Without the competition (that's bitched slapped it plenty of times before), the Xbox is thrown under the bus to PC, which will soon have easier blu-ray drive support as manufacturing costs dwindle.
2. There is also no credable or believable proof to be seen within this article. I can't understand why people would even think so much as to even approve this article.
I just bought one, so they'll be getting money from SOMEWHERE
How can you have a "ps3 is dead" article and on the side have a "What's your most wanted game of 2009?" poll with God of War 3 with twice as many votes as any other game on the list?
Seriously . . . don't people get tired of attacking the PS3 and Sony as a company? Fair warning, Sony is into some serious stuff and they're a big company. Don't make them angry by constantly attacking them . . . you'll end up pushing them to Armageddon as they build a sophisticated PS4 or PS5 that eventually takes over the world and truly ends all humanity!!
But then again the PS3 and Wii are getting some really good titles for 2009.
Took about a minute...
With so many exclusives they can almost release two a month for the next 12 months and still have a few games in reserve for 2010. While developer surport is also rallying up in Sony's favour, this month of course seeing one of the first games to ship that uses the Playstation 3 as the lead platform rather than getting a really shoddy port. That game is of course EA Black Box "Skate 2".
This year will no doubt make or break all three consoles, the Xbox 360 has to prove it has still got the power to compete after 3 years, the Wii has to show that it has more than shovelware and the Playstation 3 has to just keep doing what it is doing.
Out of all 3 Sony has the strongest line up of games and developer support and with a whole year to perfect Home this could be a bright new future for a console no one should have ever doubted.
LOL red9. Your such a no0b.
PS3 wasn't meant to be A $00pah popular console.
Just saying.
