Recession Hits Gaming Industry

I heard that the PC market is worse than the console market. You are right about the Wii it is a big scam. I was so excited to buy a wii but then after I played a few wii games I was disappointed because it was so short and I thought that the Nintendo Gamecube predecessors are better. I buy more games for my playstation 3 ( even bluray movies) because I like the graphics, the length, and most importantly the free online play that comes with most Playstation 3 titles. Bluray would of never existed if it wasn't for the playstation 3 so this console is no failing business model. If you look at November software sales for the Playstation 3 you could see that Xbox 360 sale are only $60,000,000 more than the playstation 3. At that rate the Playstation 3 could outsell Xbox 360 software sales by 2009. I think why that is is because that there are more psn users(15,000,000) that could play games online than there is Xbox live users(14,000,000) that can play games online. Now software developers like Quake's John Carmack said that there new titles like Rage are going to be graphically better for the Playstation 3 than the Xbox 360 because there is more memory in the Bluray disc to store more textures than the Xbox 360's Dvd format. Even the levels in killzone 2 are 2.5 GB per level they even said that " Bluray is a necessity". I think as game developers start maturing they are going to make more graphically intensive games to stay competitive. It takes memory to make a graphically immersive game so more third party developers will be working on the Playstation 3 starting at the middle or end of 2009.
