People I assume just didn't want the PlayStation 2 era to end I guess, from what I remember the SONY PS2 was still getting new games and selling them until (edit) 2012 or 2014 in my area (edit) but that I guess was still good for Sony since Sony was selling games for both consoles at those time frames the PlayStation 3 came out in 2006, and I never even seen a PlayStation 3 since I got my vary first one in 2015 |

And in the end, the 360 still sold about 20 million more consoles than the PS3 did in North America; What gave the PS3 the main lead was the fact that the xbox brand is a complete failure in the Japanese market. --- End quote --- ps3 lost 300$ for every early ps3 console that they sold even if they sold a bit more profit wise ps3 was a shit show. xbox 360 probably did allot better in wich they did not sell consoles with such heavy losses they where really banking on game sales apprently, attracting consumers with lower console prices. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2006/nov/17/sonylosescash I'm pretty sure nintendo is the only one who either breaks even per console sale or a small profit since microsoft and sony both lose money per sold console. sony however went a bit overboard during ps3 era. 300$ loss per console is just crazy. --- End quote --- The Red Ring of Death cost Microsoft over a billion. --- End quote --- at 300$ loss per console just selling consoles costed sony Billions. where talking 4 years straight of console selling before they made a cheaper model, Millions of consoles have been sold by that point ps3 was past it's prime at that point. just 1 billion is small fry compared to the losses that sony made in ps3 era. When it finally was profitable after many years they made way less money than any other sony console generation. Ps3 was a big failure for sony standards. _________________________________ heck even if we ignore money ps3 in terms of games was very mediocre for sony standards ps1 had an amazing library with revolutionary titles ps2 literally dominated the market with an even larger library and once again groundbreaking games reason to play the console. Ps3 had nothing notable, Ps4 is literally what ps3 was but far better + tons more indi games since that market was booming in the beginning of ps4 era. The ps3 has a very forgettable library. an inferior ps4 in terms of it's own games and a way less interesting and smaller library of great games. in comparison out of the 4 sony consoles ps3 has by far the most boring library of them all it's not even a competition. |

Compared to Xbox 360 quite possibly yes allow me to explain from what I learned PlayStation 2 is the best console from Sony aka Soyny coming off on to PlayStation 3 PlayStation 3 was flopping hard,I think PlayStation 2 is either golden age for gaming or golden age for console gaming & let me ask you this who saved Soyny's sorry asses who saved Soyny from almost going to go bankrupt? Give up? Here's a hint it wasn't the hardcore gamers give up still? It was us weebs who loves anime,anime games,niche games,niche Japanese games,Japanese games & anime niche anime games or you guys can call them fanservice games or anime titty games thanks to us weebs kept Soyny afloat Soyny now chasing us otakus & the weebs,Japanese developers,Japanese publishers,Japanese studios,our Japanese otaku brothers & our Japanese otaku sisters off platforms as thanks for us otakus & the weebs who saved Soyny's sorry asses & saved Soyny's sorry asses almost going to go bankrupt like what us otakus & the weebs did for PlayStation 3. I wonder how long will Soyny last without us otakus & the weebs we the weebs won't be there again to saved Soyny's sorry asses again after how Soyny backstabbing us otakus,weebs,gamers,final fantasy fan/huge fans & hentai fans,backstabbing our communities & worse of all backstabbing their business partners & for what all for Puritans,normies,SJWs/npcs & feminists & I'm looking forward to PlayStation 5 flopping & flopping hard without us the weebs to saved Soyny's sorry asses again like what we did for PlayStation 3 & I want Soyny to go bankrupt faster the better :). |

The Playstation 5 is guaranteed to do well short of them doing something completely out of left field like Xbox did at first with the Xbox One. This kind of talk really serves no purpose, it's toxic and hyperbolic, and it blows up an issue that is incredibly minor and affects very few games. I understand what it is about and I don't agree with most censorship short of real hateful or downright ignorant garbage, but perv games getting some light tweaks or some ass not getting fully shown off in Devil May Cry 5 does not justify wanting bankruptcy from a major pillar of the gaming industry. |

The Last of Us & Uncharted were PS3. Demon's Souls inspired the genre-defining Dark Souls. There are some really incredible games on the machine. If Sony was looking to be 'saved' by ecchi games, why did Record of Agarest War only hit digital on PS3? The 360 got a physical release- it even got a limited edition with a '3D mousepad' and 'pillowcase'. Niche games do not populate on a system to 'save' it, they do so because there's a high enough install base to land sales. Vita, for example, is not being saved because of American anime fans- Vita performed better in Asia overall. Those are the fans being sold to. As a result, the people who are willing to import games are disproportionately Vita owners. Your complaints are unbecoming- just buy a Switch or a nice gaming PC & relax. |
