Title: Nail in Sony's Coffin
Post by: Miro on July 19, 2008 02:40 PM
In our last topic, we talked about the 3.3 billion dollar loss of the PS3.

http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.p...&hl=billion (http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3283&hl=billion)


And now
Final Fantasy XIII coming to Xbox 360 (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/14/final-fantasy-xiii-coming-to-xbox-360/)

QuoteSorry, Sony. The Xbox 360 is finally going to get a blockbuster RPG. Square has announced at the Microsoft press conference that Final Fantasy XIII is going to be released on Xbox 360 the same day as PS3 in North America and Europe. What a huge coup for Microsoft, and what a great piece of news for Xbox 360 owners who also happen to be great console RPG lovers.

PS3 was always going nowhere in the grand scheme. It's sad too, because I used to like Sony, but man of the games on that console have been fun so far.

final Fantasy was going to make me get a PS3 but now there's no point. There's nothing out for it I want, even though they're releasing a few games soon I might like.

Not to mention 360 getting exclusivity on a bunch of other big games like (I think) RE5 and tales of vesperia.

The playstation isn't going down though, it's just "losing" the console race but there will be a PS4 that'll learn from this console cycles mistakes no doubt.

Hopefully they don't ride on their false prospect that their system is so awesome that it'll be still going even in the next console cycle.

I've seen the phrase "Nail in Sony's coffin" so many times that I've seen people expecting the PS3 to fail by 2006 and for Sony to have gone bankrupt last year.  It's all really retarded.  Pretty much all console talk is.

By the way, after MGS4 was released Sony made $1.7 billion in the month of June alone.


Also, even though FF13 is going to the Xbox 360, they never said anything about FF Vs. 13 or whatever.
Either way I'm not really interested in either.

i like rpg's and this news did not excite me
then again i don't own either console
anyway the only was the ps3 will die is if sony lets it. they're a multi-billion dollar corporation that can afford to let a console that doesn't make any money stay afloat as long as they want. kind of like what microsoft has been doing with the 360. i mean imagine if nintendo released a console that had a 90% chance of overheating or destroying your game if you nudged it by accident. they'd be bankrupt by now

Kian merely spends his money wisely, or tries to. Nothing wrong with that.

Off-Topic: On one forum I post on, someone titled a topic with the same subject as "One more nail in the PS3's coffin". I guess the coffin reference is used a lot for Sony's PS3. >_>

On-Topic: I've known about this for over a year. [LINK] (http://www.ps3center.net/story-394.html?phpsessid=a3873a6aad94b8283e3780b7896df6eb)

Hell yes I'm getting it. Fable was the only game I liked enough to get an Xbox for the first time around, except by the time I had the money Lost Chapters was on PC and better so I got that.


But yeah Fable 2 I'm getting it.

Title: Nail in Sony's Coffin
Post by: texas on July 19, 2008 09:43 PM
yeah fable 2 will eventually be on pc
i dont know if its released at the same time as the xbox  version or not
i might have to get the pc version considering my xbox is dead
Title: Nail in Sony's Coffin
Post by: sQueef on July 19, 2008 09:45 PM
yeh just get the pc version and a gamepad
its not like were giant fable nerds who need it pre-released so we can get our 1337 g34rs or some shit

I feel completely the opposite. I prefer a mouse and keyboard over a gamepad generally.

consoles are great for racing and adventure games
computers are great for action and strategy games

the only time i like to use a keyboard to play games is
for rts games or mmorpgs

for fable i would probably want a gamepad

as in point + click adventure games???

i feel like computer is better for adventure games because of mouse look

and computer is better for 1st/3rd person shooting games because of aiming with the mouse.

consoles are really only better for racing (unless you have a wheel for your pc), fighting, twitch action games (devil may cry), and party games, of course. If all the games that are exclusive to ps3/360 were on pc, and weren't ported shittily, i would only have a console for twitch action games and party games.
