Re: PS5 Surpasses Lifetime PS3 Sales in the US

@TheArt sadly the only game that really took advantage of what the chip set could do in the ps3 was first party games, 3rd party dev's hated it , and the 360 versions were always way better then the ps3 versions. i keep seeing so much love for the ps3 but no one bought games back then ( if they did we'd still would have killzone , resistance , motorstorm and infamous). in all reality the ps3 almost killed the brand. and this is coming from some one that still plays their ps3 to this day.

@dBackLash while its great to see so many people have good memories of the ps3 now in 2025 , it seems people have forgotten the ps3 was also the console that could have easily killed the playstation brand, 3rd party games played horribly on the console vs the xbox 360. developers actually hated porting games over or even making games for it. lucky they had some great 1st party teams that pretty much carried the back half of the ps3 cycle and pretty much saved it. the only issue is , people didn't even really buy those games either. a lot of those games people keep bringing up sold really poorly back then. which is why they stopped making them. the ps4 pretty much saved the playstation brand. Not to mention the most expensive playstation console of all time with inflation the ps3 price with 60gb would be $934 .

@MrGawain i mean if you are going by that the ps3 had a horrible engagement rate , in fact the main selling point was it was actually the cheapest blu-ray player on the market , like how the ps2 was the cheapest dvd player on the market. and best quality movie players as well. people keep bringing up infamous , resistance , killzone games , but a lot of those games struggled to sell over 1 million copies when there was what 86 million consoles?

@SuntannedDuck2 the whole thing with games like Yotei , ect , is how fast the game not only boots up , but even fast travel is instant. that's the ssd and how fast it can read data. i'm so used to how fast the ps5 loading times are , i booted my ps3 up and was playing a game and i thought it was frozen because of how long a first part game would take to boot up.

Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox

@BusyOlf its still a pretty valid reason why the generation got off to a slow start , the fact that gaming companies were able to manage around that situation and still were able to launch a console successfully, only leaves us with what if's of if games came out sooner would they be working on something new or would it be the same ? i guess we'll never know.

Re: People Don't Buy Anywhere Near As Many Games As You Think

having less time to actually sit and play games i haven't bought games as much as i used to however i did buy a few more games recently like silent hill f and ghosts , but i still have a lot of games i need to go back and complete , and i skipped a few games along the way that either i'll forget about or hopefully eventually play them. but i mean the numbers don't lie , so many consoles out there , and you have a lot of games that fail to sell a decent amount? i'm always curious what games do people even play if they had a ps3 or ps4 or ps5.
