PS2 to PS3 was a massive gap. If the PS3 was easier to develop with, I'm sure it'd be able to give 360 a run for its money.
PS3 actually ended up outselling 360 by the end, but not by much. But yeah, diminishing returns is hitting consoles like a ton of bricks.
Correction: Nintendo announced a few weeks ago that there wouldn’t be a price increase. Sony saw that announcement, took time to think about it, then still decided “hmm yes this is a great idea what could go wrong”.
I meant hypothetically, early in PS3's lifespan. Of course, Sony won the media war and Blu-Ray players were expensive as hell back then.
Neither statements are true and you (should) know it
2022:
This is merely taking account of japanese third-parties and not mentioning of course the re-releases of old games (GrimGrimoire OnceMore, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, the Switch ports of EDF games and of 13 Sentinels, etc.). But it's still twice, if not more, the productivity of western console games by comparison.
Shut up, fucktard.
Yup. Though I had some fun with Motorstorm. It was a pretty bad launch, yeah, but it wasn't completely devoid of games. All in all, as far as first-year games go, I thought the PS3 had the 360 beat.
The tail end of the PS3's lifecycle were a really great time to have one. Plus, PS3 games were always worth less than any other counterpart, so I managed to build up a sturdy collection for fairly cheap. It became my favorite system for a long time.
ohhhh boy okay let's not start this again
uhh, um, uh oh
Well yeah, but they were ultimately alright. Gaming was in a better place back then, a game "struggling" meant it had a lower resolution and framerate, but was otherwise playable. Maybe it's my rose-tinted glasses, but I feel like we didn't see nearly as many Saints Row 2022s where bugs are just everywhere, and that was generally relegated to Bethesda games - incidentally also the one company's games that you really, really shouldn't play on PS3 due to being prone to hard crashes.
man, just
Also have the great Returnal which is right now the best PS5 game, however rumors of a pc port of that one
It maybe had more exclusives, but better? No way in hell. You had stuff like Lair and Heavenly Sword which both had heavy involvement from Sony themselves. There were multiple genuine bombs on the PS3 put out by first and second party developers. Uncharted 1 was the only one to take off from that early PS3 time period and Uncharted 1 does not hold up well.
Steam Deck isn't providing competition to consoles, it doesn't exist in the majority of spaces that consoles are even sold in. It's not being sold at general retail which will hold it back from being widespread. Maybe valve will do that with the next one, but the only thing widespread with the Steamdeck are the places that will repair one.
Better, yes. Even Heavenly Sword shits on the likes of Destruction AllStars, your coping is out of control. And lots of shit doesn't hold up well, I guess 2600 had literally nothing by that logic.
You always run back to "X game didn't do well" or "doesn't hold up". We're not arguing about sales data or how well games hold up, we're talking about quantity and quality of exclusive games, and PS5 is objectively lacking in both.
It also had two Ratchet & Clanks, plus Disgaea and Siren entries, Metal Gear, etc.
Who cares where it's sold? It's not like it's a secret that you can order one online.
Both Disgaea and Ratchet and Clank come with a bunch of caveats if you're talking about the PS3 games.
In the two first year of the PS3's life it had the first Uncharted, Folklore, Afrika, Wipeout HD, Valkyria Chronicles, Devil May Cry 4, Condemned 2, Hot Shots Golf, Eternal Sonata, Burnout Paradise, Disgaea 3, Siren, Eternal Sonata, Silent Hill Homecoming, GTA IV, Bioshock, Aquanauts Holiday, Dead Space and MGS 4.
I don't even like any of those franchises but let's be honest, you're making excuses instead of listing the great and numerous PS5 exclusives because they're out in the woods with bigfoot.
Ban him from the thread. Enough is enough.
We need a jester, he fits the bill perfectly.
It's like talking to Patrick or Lucas. He just constantly shifts the goal posts and he's retarded as fuck. Plus he deliberately picks fights, refuses to back up anything he says and constantly spouts shit that is provably incorrect. It's maddening trying to read this thread with him in it.
