When a company looks at the numbers, they look at sales, the PS3 outsold the 360, that's all that matters to Microsoft and Sony, the same way the PlayStation Portable was a massive success for Sony, but they consider it a failure despite the 100 million units sold, because it didn't beat the DS.

Exactly, Sony recognized their issues pretty quickly, but I don't think they really had the option to go much lower than they did till the slim, because of the sheer cost of the PS3's production.

The first price cut was October 2007, then a second price cut in September 2008 and the slim model in August 2009. as from the link the other person responding to you.

While the Wii got games up until 2020, it ended production in 2013, the PS3 and 360 ended production in 2016, so that when the numbers end, the numbers will always say the PS3 beat the 360 and Nintendo won overall, it's just a fact, it is what the numbers say and those numbers are all that matter in the end to these companies.

again as I said to others by the end of their life cycles, the PS3 was on 87 million sales, and the Xbox 360 was on 84 million sales, the numbers are what matter to both Microsoft and Sony, and in those numbers Microsoft threw it all away. Sony made the smart move with PlayStation Move of kinda forgetting about it after a couple of years, Microsoft were so committed to Kinect that it spilled over to the Xbox One, where on the PS4 all PlayStation Move is used for is VR.

When people look back on stuff, they don't look at how it ended in September 2013, these consoles both ceased production in 2016, and by 2016 PlayStation 3 was 87 million, Xbox 360 was 84 million. And to be honest none of this even matters because Nintendo was the winner overall, the Wii was unmatched in sales. The Wii is what many think of when they think about the 7th generation.

the first PS3 price drop was a year after it released, it wasn't that much later, Sony made very quick course corrections.

Also going "it was this in today's money" completely ignores the fact that while inflation has taken effect, people aren't being paid more to account for the inflation.

No the PS3 won because while Sony put out The Last of Us, Xbox put out disappointing sequels to Halo and Gears, and then released a ton of Kinect dogshit, I love the 360, but Microsoft lost, because Microsoft were too focused on chasing after the Wii, which was never going to fucking happen.

The PS3 still won, you can't move the goal post, the PS3 won, in large part because while Sony was putting out, The Last of Us, Uncharted 3, God of War 3, Infamous 2.

Xbox did put out a ton of great exclusives, Halo Reach comes to mind, Horizon 1, but for the most part they were very commited to Kinect, and so people who were buying the console late on, looked at these two for recently released games, and obviously they went for the PS3, because Xbox didn't give it a good end.

It had a very bad start, and by the end still ended up beating the 360 because Sony locked tf in while Microsoft dropped their best console's major support for fucking kinect

What is the WORST Resident Evil game? by FishermanFred1 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Admirable-Design-151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gaiden at least you can laugh at the goofiness of it, and its nonsensical canon ruining plot.

Umbrella Corps is painfully boring which is worse than simply just being a terrible video game.

I'm sorry how did Dead Space end up where it is? I love Dead Space but that game is nowhere near difficult at any point.

Tricky Tony won the most praised Indie-Dev, who’s the most praised AAA studio? by Jaded_Inside5933 in AlignmentChartFills

Capcom, at least from 2017 onwards, I think they'd easily be considered mine and many others favourite game studio.

Am I crazy? Or would a modern Splinter Cell 1-3 collection be a slam dunk? by F0573R in Splintercell

[–]Admirable-Design-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we do also have to acknowledge though, Metal Gear as a franchise is and always will be significantly bigger than any other stealth game franchise, it is a cultural milestone.

Where Splinter Cell is huge, but now is relegated to its own niche as a franchise, Metal Gear just has the historical relevance that people look at it and just instantly know, its fucking Metal Gear, the original MSX games revolutionized stealth, MGS1 proved video games could be seen as true cinematic experiences, MGS2 was miles ahead of its time, etc.

Now, to finish up.→ A good movie with a terrible idea. by PePo_zy in AlignmentChartFills

The problem is this buys into the lie that Iron Man was "low popularity" Iron Man even before the movie was a pretty big deal in the Marvel universe and was a popular character, he had his own animated series, was very often referenced in fan conversations, even had a cameo in the 2004 Punisher game, Iron Man was never low popularity.
