XBOX 360 selling 17% more last year than PS3

One of the main reasons why the PS3 hasn’t sold as much as the Xbox360 is mainly because of the economy. How much did Blu-Ray players go for when the PS3 was launched? More than the PS3 I believe. Blu-Ray was just being released to the public. Plus the Cell Processor; how many people knew what it was and what it could do at that time? It was a new technology to the public, with great capabilities. Our economy had a great effect as well. As the economy slumped, people didn’t want to spend as much money on something that was $400 – $500 as apposed to $250 – $300. With that price on hardware, it was hard for Sony to sell. Xbox had it easy, because by that time, everyone had an Xbox. Heck I had an Xbox, and still do…kinda.

Anyways just because the Xbox360 sold more units, or should I say 17% last year, doesn’t make it any better than the PS3 and or the 720 being better than the PS4. There very equal, with each having their ups and downs, pros and cons. I don’t like the Xbox360 interface, but I love the PS3’s. Xbox Live is more reliable than PS3’s online performance. The thing with that is that all Xbox360 games are run on Microsoft Servers, and PS3’s games are run on the servers of the developer who made that game. Then theres the red ring of death error. LOL EPIC FAIL! That has to be the most stupidest thing ever than a high end gaming system overheats and screws up. 33% of all of them! Come on man! Screw that, and then you had to wait 2 weeks to get a “refurbished” xbox? I hear some people have gone through at least 10 of them! I got it the other day, but I fixed it…smacked it with a wrench a few times…lol! I have heard little to no falures with the PS3. Then again both systems have their flaws, and so will the PS4 and the Xbox720, assuming those are the correct names.

It all really boils down to preference. Really guys, their equal. Xbox fanboys need to shut their yaps before I shut em permanently, and same goes for the PS fanboys, equally as annoying. Anyways, theirs my 2 sense, gotta run, criminology test today! Toodles!

Sony has release 3 playstation series so far with the latest being PS3. The PS4 series is currently being researched and will be coming in the market very soon. Recently reports have surfaced that Sony is planning to introduce a thinner version of PS3. The main competitors of the playstation series are the Nintendo and Xbox. They have come up with new versions which are much slimmer and contain good graphics.  They together form the 7th generation of gaming series. Sony has recently developed blue ray discs for the gaming purposes. This has been done to prevent privacy. The playstation series comes in different sizes like the 20GB, 40GB and the 60 GB. It depends on the requirements of the gamers. Each sized playstation will contain some unique features. Considering the competition from Xbox and Nintendo, Sony has decided to introduce slimmer versions that could potentially be cheaper also.The E3 conference is going to be the stage where the new and slimmer version of the Sony playstation 3 is going to be launched. There is no concrete evidence suggesting this. But rumors are high that the PS3 will be released at his conference.

Sony has remained tight lipped about this entire issue. But many images of this version has been released on the net and looking at these devices, it could well seem to be the introduction of slimmer video game devices. However, one cannot altogether believe this as the images which have been are all blurred and no clear cut explanation has been given by Sony so far. The images do indicate that It may be the future of the millions of gamers out there. Some people do not believe in the authenticity of the device and feel that such technology cannot be achieved easily. The popular magazine Engadget has released these images in its site. Sony was apparently angered by this news and has served a cease and desist letter. It has also warned the site to take the images off it. Since they consider it to be highly confidential, they are also threatening to legally sue the magazine. The main reason people doubt the authenticity is because the official word hasn’t come from Sony yet and the Chinese manufacturers have allegedly released the images.

The slimmer version of playstation can be very much true. All will be known in the E3 conference that will take place.The main advantage of using the thinner version of PS3 would the low power consumption and easy portability. We all know that thinner items can be easily carried to different places easily and hence if the PS3 come as a slimmer version the portability would make it easier for you to take it to your friend’s house and play there. The low power consumption would also make it ideal to play for long hours. So all should be excited because the E3 conference will definitely give the answer to all questions we have on the thinner version of the PS3.

PS4 is to replace PS3

PS4 is coming to replace PS3 Sooner than Expected

Sony is surprising the gaming industry once again. But this time they are trying to catch up with new technologies and new advancements in the gaming industry. A clear example of Sony’s efforts is the release of the next generation in the Play Station console empire, the PS4. It will be released even before the ten year mark that they set up for themselves with the PS3 that was released a few years back.

Sony always said that the PS3 would be their game as a platform for a decade, but SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) boss David Reeves says he does not know whether 8, 9 or even 10 years. Not sure that this issue, today's date, but some things come into my mind.

First, the PS2 is still strong, according to the PS3 is available in most large customers and the existing players, we must also continue to buy the PS2 games. It is not a death stop date by all means. Secondly, this means PS4 could be here sooner than planned, but David Reeves stated that "it is not in sight." Years. Mantra of the Sony PS3 is a console with 10 years of age.

It is possible that the point of "8, 9 or 10 years" by the weakening of the public the possibility that the PS4 will be sooner than later.

But I think that the statement in the context of the statement that it’s other console makers primarily because of outdated ideas of competition on the hardware specifications alone. The PS3 is a fine material, as well as their potential is not being used to make it easier to run the program and give you a true friend and competencies on the market in search of the good work on the software and then on new hardware. It is not necessary that the new machines on the runway, to oppose the statements of the competitor machines primarily. Only the works of The Kinks, as we have already have.

We do not know for sure when the PS4 will be here but it might be soon enough that all gamers around the world should start feeling the excitement about this new console. Sony has never disappointed the gaming industry. This is why the PSP and the PS2 are still strong in the industry, even after the release of the infamous PS3 a while back. As for now, all there is to do is wait for more news from Sony, next time they might say something about when the PS4 will be here.

Is Sony losing out in the game war?

Is Sony losing out in the game war?

Holiday season is the time when gaming consoles get the best spike in the sales and because of the same, any new console, model or games are generally released during the holiday season. But  recent  look at the sales of the consoles  showed an  unbelievable change in the trend of the  gamers  with  Wii standing in the 1st position and  Xbox in the second  , the much hyped Playstation 3 had to  settle down with  a third position in the  sales of  last holiday season. So is Sony really losing out on the game war of consoles, is it that bad a console for the sales to drop drastically? Let us do an analysis on this.

Sony PlayStation is one of the best gaming devices with technology and   hardware far better than the Nintendo Wii or the Microsoft Xbox. The processing speed, graphics and features are very user friendly. All  is well till  here  but  Sony  was only worried about  giving the  best  featured    console  but  it did not  research on what  exactly the  consumer  wants from the console.  A look at  the  interesting features of  the other  two consoles that were considered  before  buying   them   makes  us  think about it .

Nintendo Wii  which initially had very little sales   picked up very soon  because  of   the improved  games that are  being more interactive  and  making the gamers  move  literally. The target audience here included people of all the   ages, as it caters well to all of them. The  choice of  games is  abundant and  almost  all the  games are now  released in Wii  version also. In addition to this Wii costs excessively less and simply does what it is meant to do .Entertainment!
Microsoft Xbox with features much less than the PS3 had two main    points for the success of it, Xbox live being the first, second being has abundant number of titles. Online gaming with Xbox live is one of the main reason people choose Xbox. Though it needs a subscription it really did not bother much for the consumers as we can see that there are   millions of Xbox live accounts active.

The availability of lots and many game titles   has an added point to choosing it.
Having told about the two now it clear as to why Sony had dropped down. Sony  used blu ray disks and drive  in the new  PS3  which  increased the cost of  it  and also  because of this there are  very few game titles available for   it . The feature of online gaming   was not given much importance and lost   millions of sales for that one fact itself. Higher cost of the console could not match to the less costing Wii. The target audience was high-end serious gamers and there by narrowing the margin of the people who would choose this rig.

Overall, unless Sony bears all these things in mind and work to improve on it the possibility of it ruling again is less.
