Sony clarifies 380 PS3 games comment; 145 for US
59
After yesterday's announcement that 380 new games would be available for the PlayStation 3 this fiscal year, more than a few of us quickly ran out of fingers trying to make the math work out. Lucky for us, the fine folks at Sony stopped GamesIndustry.biz before they got their shoes off (it was too late for us), explaining that Sony's Kaz Hirai was "citing international figures" and that "at least 145 titles are on the way to the US," with 105 of those being retail offerings. That makes a lot more sense ... but we're still left wondering one thing. Does Warhawk count as both a retail and PlayStation Network title?

Warhawk counts as a divine gift. Seriously, never had a beta before were I played over 100 games.

Any Mario game is way better than any current PS3 game... and Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros will be better and will sell a lot more than any PS3 title.

What is the use of 145 games, when PC will probably get 300 games this year, including homebrew and original IPs?
PC has:
motion control: via hacked wiimote or 360 controller
internets: check
wifi: check
multiplayer: hell, it has MASSIVE multi
graphics: you bet ur lollerskates it does
wii60 sucks
ps360 sucks
mac sucks
zune sucks
krypton sucks

I dont think anyone believed that 40 games were going to come out every month until next March. This was even clarified on AOTS last night. 16 games a month/4 games a week makes more sense anyway.

lol
for motion controls u need to buy a console part
and sure the graphics are better as long as you have the 1500$ to make it top notch.
fine the pc will get 300 games but maybe 10 that you actually want to play regulaly.and alot of them wont take advantage of your super pc and look like crap.i cant think of 1 home brew game that ive played longer than a day.and i dont like CS =/

Yeah, but PC's are for geeks with zero social skills that game alone and never get ass. They hate consoles because the kids that picked on them and banged the chicks they thought were hot all played consoles. ;) (this is a flamewar, right?)
On topic, whatever the numbers don't really mean anything. Sony is going to release more games its second year. Of course they are!
I am just waiting for a title that tells me "you couldn't do that with a 360." So far, the titles that have most impressed me are all on or coming to 360! The only PS3 title dropping this year that I consider "must have" is Unreal III. And where are the rpg's? All the PS3 has coming are shooters and overhyped meh titles that have blown us away with CGI. (still a flamewar, right?)
As for the Wii, when is the next kids game coming out? My nephew, who I will admit is about 10 and growing out of his Wii phase like any normal kid would, might still enjoy some cartoony characters with a plot similar to a typical film aimed towards 5 - 11 year old children. (still flaming?)
Oh yeah, and 360. WTF? Talk about a console that takes all your money. Could you stop releasing so many badass games so I can pay some bills? If you have a 360, burn that piece of crap if it hasn't burned itself already. 5+ big budget RPG's and 5+ big budget shooters in a 4 month span is getting a little friken ridiculous. How about you pull a Nintendo and release some kiddy-ass low budget crap so we can keep our wallets closed for a while?
Well, back to my project of building a console that playes AO games only. You control it with your weemote. It's the future of gaming.

Does anyone think that if Manhunt 2 was to come to the PC, we would have to back rev our processors so the game wouldn't run super fast?

I really wish I knew why Joystiq still had a comments section. Half you morons go around whining about why your console is best, and the other half spend the majority of their time defending their own purchases.
Just enjoy the games you like, ignore the ones that you don't, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Anyone else notice how many copies of Big Brain Academy are still on the shelves everywhere you go? Something tells me its not selling as well as the big N thought it would.
I personally take this as a sign of the Wii fad starting to die out.

too bad i'm not in the right mood to have some fun flamage
ok:
360: for the teenagers who are trying to be real cool and mature
PS3: for the insecure preps (of all ages)
Wii: for the poor kiddies
PC: for those who would get rabid skin cancer if bombarded with one photon of natural light

how many of these will be quality exclusives though? That's what's holding the ps3 back, not just a lack of games. Shoveling out tons of titles that can be played on the cheaper 360 won't help sell consoles.

the PS3 itself may be tangible but the games "only possible on blu-ray" have been nothing but mythology.
