PlayStation 2 - 264k
Nintendo DS -- 251k
Sony PSP ----- 230k

No, those aren't good PS3 numbers.  It's down YOY for the third month in a row.  That's officially a trend, though there could be a small bump in February for Killzone 2.  The Wii shit isn't even worth commenting on, but those are GREAT legs for Left 4 Dead.  I don't think anyone expected that.

And WTF at LOTR Conquest on PS3 outselling the 360 version, but skate 2 360 outselling the PS3 version 2:1.

Regardless, nothing much came out last month so February will be much, much more interesting.

360 beat the PS3.  It is cool though because Sony will sell at least 500,000 units this month due to Killzone 2.

How can anyone spin this as positive for Sony?

If it managed to sell all those hundreds of thousands of units WITHOUT Killzone 2, imagine how much it will sell when it releases!

1) Suggest that since it is the recession, the fact that it has sold anything mean that it is doing better than 360.

2) Speculate this month's hardware sales surging because of Killzone 2 and claim overall victory.

3) Supplement those sales with imaginary European numbers.  "8% increase?  Wow!"

I don't hate any of the machines, but both the Wii and PS3 have been majorly disappointing to me, meanwhile the 360 has been my de-facto console of choice, and I didn't care much for Xbox1 at all. Though I'll say I'm extremely curious to see what's gonna happen to the games industry, they say it's recession proof but lots of companies have taken hits lately :(

Blind wii hate is abhorant.
Those of us who own them have every right to hate.


Really, because I think plenty of "decent" games come out on the system. I suspect its extreme apathy for you and others. If it doesnt have AAA production values then the software gets ignored. Like during the "drought" last year I took a chance on a kitchen sim, minna golf clone with waggle, and a littlebigplanet shmup thing that weren't AAA perfect immaculate games, but did alot of things right and I didn't regret my purchases. I also thought Wii Music garners way too much hate from people who have never sat down and played it.

I saw two in Gamestop today.  Wii Fit annihilated.  Trend over.

Funny story - I know A LOT of people who bought Wii Fit.  Not a single one still uses it.  Not that this is surprising because that's how it goes for all late night infomercial exercise equipment.

Those types of games are only worth your time if you're not an HD gamer with an already huge backlog of superior titles between PS3, 360, XBLM, and PSN.  There's no way to keep up with the AAA, AA, and A titles, so why in the world would I wasted my time on a B or C title?  I don't even have the time or desire to keep up with the B and C titles on the HD consoles, and I'm damn sure not going to waste my time on similar titles that aren't in HD, use waggle, and don't give me points.

Oh, and I've tried a decent number of those "supposed" good, under-the-radar Wii games since I mistakenly put them at the bottom of my queue and they're always available at Gamefly, unlike the good 360 games which are always out of stock.  And you know what?  They've all either sucked or were only good for 30 minutes of fun.

Do you lack proper reading comprehension skills?  I was just speaking about what games deserve to be played.  And your shitty Wii games don't when you have a billion better choices.  The only reason Wii owners play those B/C level games is because they don't have shit else to play.

I'm sure there's some cool stuff, but the game itself did nothing to draw me in.  I can just as easily see this cool stuff on YouTube.  That's the same issue LBP has.  You can just as easily experience the cooler shit on YouTube.

I love those weird B-games, many times more than whatever the reviews and the fanboyz are calling "AAA" or whatnot. I'd sooner give Deadly Creatures or Boom Blox a chance than fucking Killzone 2.

Blind wii hate is abhorant.

Really, because I think plenty of "decent" games come out on the system. I suspect its extreme apathy for you and others. If it doesnt have AAA production values then the software gets ignored. Like during the "drought" last year I took a chance on a kitchen sim, minna golf clone with waggle, and a littlebigplanet shmup thing that weren't AAA perfect immaculate games, but did alot of things right and I didn't regret my purchases. I also thought Wii Music garners way too much hate from people who have never sat down and played it.

If Sony can't make a big hit out of something as marketable (and apparently good) as Killzone 2, the company should just kill off the PS3 right then. And restructure marketing entirely for the future. I can understand having trouble selling people on LBP, or even Ratchet, but Killzone 2 failing would be unbelievable.

No,the closest thing that we have is this

Quote
Things may change for Sony, especially with another year of fantastic exclusives planned for the system. Peter Dille, SVP of Marketing, ignores the January NPD results entirely and instead looks towards the future. "The PlayStation brand experienced a record year in sales in 2008 and we have every reason to believe our blockbuster line up combined with PS3's position as the best Blu-ray player and most sophisticated entertainment device out there, will continue to fuel increased marketshare and momentum into 2009. We've truly upped the ante this year with an unmatched software lineup ahead, kickstarting with the much anticipated and platform-moving title Killzone 2 later this month. We're the only company to offer three viable platforms today and will continue to deliver a seamless and comprehensive entertainment experience to our customers for many years to come."

http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/02/13/scea-almost-responds-to-lackluster-january-npd-results/

This is the first time since the PS3 release that Sony didn't comment on NPD,i think.

Sony needs to cut price this spring. Ideally, they'd do it with Killzone 2 in a couple weeks.

They need to take a hit to the bottomline to gain some momentum. It's not smart business, but it'll really make the console wars interesting.

God no wonder you were such a bad journa.... ahem pardon me.
They're already selling at a loss and doing terribly as is. As they have said the realistic expectation is to rectify the situation so they can at least make a profit. I'm sure if they could wave a magic wand to make ps3 cheap to produce it woukd've happened. Console Wars aren't a legit concern for Sony. Unless its some now-defunct gaming rag's worthless article.  I really don't think there's anything they can do but try to make appealing games and find a way to be profitable somewhere down the road. They are in an immovable position until manufacturing costs go down.

And console wars is already boring going on three years. NINTENDO DOMINATES, everyone else fights for the scraps.

I doubt Sony will go third party.  They just will pull their heads out of their asses when designing the PS4 this time.

No,the closest thing that we have is this

Quote
Things may change for Sony, especially with another year of fantastic exclusives planned for the system. Peter Dille, SVP of Marketing, ignores the January NPD results entirely and instead looks towards the future. "The PlayStation brand experienced a record year in sales in 2008 and we have every reason to believe our blockbuster line up combined with PS3's position as the best Blu-ray player and most sophisticated entertainment device out there, will continue to fuel increased marketshare and momentum into 2009. We've truly upped the ante this year with an unmatched software lineup ahead, kickstarting with the much anticipated and platform-moving title Killzone 2 later this month. We're the only company to offer three viable platforms today and will continue to deliver a seamless and comprehensive entertainment experience to our customers for many years to come."

This is the first time since the PS3 release that Sony didn't comment on NPD,i think.



I think it's pretty clear why....

They're going third party.

If they actually went third party with console games They could end up being a real powerhouse.

I can't see that ever happening. Sony is very much a hardware based company be it blu-ray players, dvd players, tv's, phones, laptops...etc.

Going third party would hurt blu ray. They won't do it

You brought the truth especially hard when discussing Wii Music.

See?  That was sarcasm done correctly.

And the average 360/PS3 owner is the same but not trying to get in shape.

Which is why DLC is the wave of the future! Pretty soon they will lose their mobility due to their ever growing girth, removing the ability to hose down and venture forth to the EB Games and partake in their weekly debate with the helpless Store Manager, while they purchase the latest Call of Warhawk.

So when are the next-gen consoles arriving?  Even though one of the best systems ever was in this generation, the dated tech is making it hard to enjoy a console game.  It's like playing a N64 after 3DFX brought its GPUS to the PC.
