 Despite a rocky start, and harsh words from some very outspoken members of the video game community (remember David Perry?), the PlayStation 3 has been picking up momentum lately.In fact, with ginormous releases in the near future, such as LittleBigPlanetand Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and the new PlayStation 3 models, one can only see a brighter future ahead for the Sony console. Will Sony be able to keep up the pace? Capcom seems to think so. In fact, the publisher believes that sales will pick up even more when they release Resident Evil 5. In a conference call for their first quarter results, Capcom had this to say: We believe that PS3 has finally reached full swing after looking at the success of Metal Gear Solid 4, as well as future large-scale title line-ups In addition, some reduction in the PS3's price was announced at the 2008 E3, and we can expect its spread to increase by next March when our Resident Evil 5 for PS3 will be released. Which is not to say that they are abandoning the other platforms. They continue that: As we are not only focusing on PS3, we would also like to spread our supply of software evenly between Wii and Xbox 360 while their markets in the world increase in a similar manner to PS3.

» A sign?
Maybe we'll get a Monster Hunter now that the PS3 has a big fan base. Would be nice.

» What?
how can PS3 be doing good at third place and only did great with one Metal Gear spike? Didn't nintendo did that with the gamecube and they was in third. Everyone said that they was was dead and never coming back but they had great games like melee and RE4.

» But
The difference between the Gamecube and the PS3 is that RE4 came out 4 years after the launch of the GC, pretty much at the end of it's cycle. MGS4 came out 2 years after the PS3's launch and the console still has a few years ahead and with more and more games comming out, more and more "spikes", as you say, will happen.

» lets read this from a proper perspective..
Lets see, Capcom who is at the very least non biased. is cheering the ps3?
or really, are they cunningly attacking it..
a console with an ?intended? decade long life span has hit it's prime in it's practical infant tracks, only a little over two years old and in third place, and it's in full swing... ...
there is a console war going on,, to be honest ive seen more cap support on the 360 this gen..
hmm something just doesn't add up here.. hmmm
surely capcom ment only the best intentions with this statment, I mean, why would they say something damaging about sonys console...

» finally got a ps3
So I finally got one and first thing I did was get resistance and it freakin blows. Even the menu looks like trash. I love the blue ray and the built in wifi but overall the system is nowhere near what the 360 is IMO. I do however plan on getting littlebigplanet which looks to be super awesome so hopefully it will change my opinion.

» chill
Dude chill out man.. I don't think it sucks i'm just saying I enjoy my 360 a lot better. What is your problem is sony paying you to be a mindless fanboy and do you even have both systems? Most of you ps3 fanboys have never even tried out the 360 so you don't know which is better. Try playing gears and then play resistance and you will see what i'm talking about.

Ok guys, cool it before this becomes another full blown flame war arguing over which console is better. If you want to discuss the merits of your favorite console, do it without the bashing.

» lol @ death
haha,
Read much?
He just said "Resistance blows" yet you use it as an example of how PS3 games are supposedly better quality.
I love how you PS3 guys always recite "mgs4,resistance,drake's fortune,and ratchet" like its your good night prayer -
"I pray the Lord my soul to keep so that M$ can't have it."
Those are all great games, but seriously, if you guys keep chanting the same thing over and over again, people are gonna think the PS3 only has 5 great games....
what? oh crap....

» was that needed logicbomb
did you really need to bring religion/pray into the conversation? we all know there are "ps3fanboys" as well as "MSfanboys" but there is no reason to bring up some of the points you did...
anyway, capcom started with nintendo, same as tecmo (team ninja branched off...for those that did not know) rare, squaresoft/squar-enix, and many others, but became neutral over time. these companies are run by humans so they are entitled to their own opinions, just because they make games for 1 company doesn't mean they can't praise another.
as far as wilmheath and death talking bout the ps3 vs 360, this is not needed. Everyone knows that ps3 is better in some aspects, 360 is better in others. how bout we leave these conversations alone, and just focus on the great games coming out for all systems

» ok then..
I think we all can agree that IGN is the biggest gaming website correct? I don't think that is disputed. Now take a look at this list. http://games.ign.com/topgames/ Go ahead and look at which ones are on top and how many are 360 compared to ps3. Yes you personally may believe the ps3 is superior but I think the general public may disagree with you. I finally have both now so I can finally tell people exactly why I think my 360 is better.
If you play fps's do you think the ps3 controller is better than the 360's in that aspect?

» ahh the controller at last
the "best" controller is a matter of opinion
IMO i've been using the ps controller since ps1 its never changed since dualshock; because it works , its comfortable, has enough buttons its perfect. the 360 controller is slightly larger same amount of buttons and the d pad and analog have been swapped ( the only real difference from ps) i like the ps controller more (especially for fps' )
now as for your website sure ign is a great credible site. but how many of those games have been released? how many are multiplat? did u actually look at the list? like honestly top spots are gears 2 then fable 2 then force unleashed
all unreleased one multiplat
compare the top 5 exclusives (ratings) you will see what i mean

Please tell me you are referring to a Dead Rising title other than that for the Wii.
From what I have seen on the one for the Wii, things started going downhill when they removed the camera. It was the main premise for the game. It just can't get much better. It was nice to hear it is running on the RE4 engine though...
I digress...badly
Well of course, Capcom, sales will increase when RE5 comes out. I think that is a given.

» For a nuetral company to praise the PS3
doesn't that ring a bell anyone????
Someone's got an eye out for a potentially incredible console....
It seems they have witness the overwhelming force of this sleeping giant......sensing a snowball effect
Capcom's a genius when it comes to making games....they've also been a genius at spoting a great console to put it on
It seems like this article was a hint that all the pieces are in place on a game of chess

» funny how 360 fanboys read the ps3 posts
then they comment negatively on them. I never read anything about 360 because I don't have one and I don't care about the 360. Why do 360 owners care so much when the PS3 gets praise?
