Was the Nintendo Wii a better game console than the PS3?

As many people already know the PlayStation 3 along with the Nintendo Wii are two of the most popular game systems of the 2000’s. The Nintendo Wii was very innovative since it allowed players to utilize a remote and nunchucks for gameplay along with being backwards compatible with last generation titles that appeared on the Nintendo GameCube. Since its release back in November 2006 the Nintendo Wii had managed to sell over 101 million units worldwide which is impressive because it managed to sell more than the PS3 which reached approximately 83 million in sales since its release that same year.

While PlayStation 3 may of had better graphics than the Wii not all models of the PS3 were backwards compatible which may have hurt the console in sales during the 00’s and early 10’s. As far as graphics are concerned there is no doubt that the PS3 had the edge over the Nintendo Wii. Also, third party games shined more on the PlayStation 3 opposed to the Nintendo Wii where titles such as Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Wii stood out more and were top sellers on that game console. In terms of which game console was better overall varies to different people and it really depends on what features one looks for in game systems.

When it comes down to popular 3D fighting titles of the mid to late 00’s both Tekken 6 along with Soul Calibur IV are two big names that comes to mind. After Tekken 6 received its arcade release back in 2007 it was ported for the PlayStation 3 along with the Xbox 360 back in 2009. Tekken 6 has so many cool features such as its Campaign Mode which added to the overall replay value of the game itself. Also,there we’re so many popular characters to choose from such as Jin Kazama, Lili, Nina Williams, Christie Monterio and more. Since its release Tekken 6 had managed to sell over 3.5 million copies worldwide and was one of the top fighting games on 2009 next to Street Fighter IV.

Soul Calibur IV was also an exciting fighting title especially for those who were fans of the series. Not only did Soul Calibur IV have cool game modes such as the Tower of Lost Souls but it also allowed players to create their own characters and had great 3D visuals. Popular characters such as Sophita, Ivy, Siegfried, Nightmare and other were included in Soul Calibur IV. Not to mention we also saw DLC characters such as Yoda and Darth Vader from Star Wars. Since its release Soul Calibur IV has been named “Fighting Game of the Year” by IGN back in 2008. It would be tough to choose one over the other in terms of which game was more successful between Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur IV.

Will there ever be a sequel for Lollipop Chainsaw?

Lollipop Chainsaw

When it comes down to popular action hack and slash titles that many people believe deserves a sequel one of the names that instantly comes to mind is Lollipop Chainsaw.  After the game was  developed and released back in the summer of 2012 there were many people who loved the comedy aspect of the game along with the fact that it had a survival horror feel to it where players have to destroy countless zombies.  The concept of having a zombie hunting cheerleader is very creative along with the plot which is filled with twists in turns such as discovering Juliet Starling’s boyfriend was a zombie along with discovering that the main villain Swan was responsible for the outbreak that occurs on her 18th birthday.

Lollipop Chainsaw (2)

Even though, Lollipop Chainsaw is criticized for its gameplay there were many aspects about the game in terms of presentation along with the inclusion of multiple endings that was quite impressive.   Also, since its release Lollipop Chainsaw has managed to sell over one million units worldwide which is something that many people probably didn’t expect following its release in 2012.  Considering the fact that Lollipop Chainsaw is one of Grasshopper Manufacture’s most popular game to date there is no doubt that the title deserves a sequel or at least a re-release for the PS4.

Should Gran Turismo 6 have been ported for the PlayStation 4 in 2013?

Gran Turismo 6.jpg

When it comes down to racing games of the early 10’s Gran Turismo 6 was without a doubt one of the best titles of its genre during the time.  In fact, Gran Turismo 6 was arguably the best racing game of 2013 when it was released exclusively for the PS3 during December of that year.  Despite, being very successful on the PlayStation 3 Gran Turismo 6 was never ported for the PlayStation Vita or even the PlayStation 4 which was released a month before Gran Tursimo came out.  There are some people who believe that Polyphony Digital could have definitely capitalized on porting Gran Turismo 6 for the PlayStation 4 a couple of years back.

However, having Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation Vita on the other hand is questionable considering the fact that the handheld game console was not as successful as many people thought it would be when it was first released.  But when it comes down to Gran Turismo 6 it makes sense that the game was released exclusively for the PS3 considering the fact that the game was in development for that console in particular shortly after the release of Gran Turismo 4 which came out back in the Fall of 2010.  Besides there have been stories about Gran Turismo 5 being a very difficult for Polyphony Digital in relation to development.   After Gran Turismo 6 was developed and released for the PS3 it does not seem like to much of a surprise that the game was never ported for the PS4.

Should Uncharted 4 have been ported for the PS3?

Uncharted 4 (1).jpg

When Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was first released back in Spring 2016 for the PlayStation 4 is was known to be one of the most popular action adventure games of its time. Since its release for the PlayStation 4 Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has reportedly sold close to 9 million copies worldwide.  As popular as the game was there are some who wonder why Uncharted 4 was never ported for the PS3 especially considering how Uncharted 3 was backwards compatible with PS3.  If Uncharted 4 was  backwards compatible with the PS3 the game itself may not have sold as much as it did worldwide following its release in May 2016.

Uncharted 4 (2).jpg

The graphics for the PS3 version of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End would have paled in comparison to the PS4 port.  Also, by the time Uncharted 4 was released the PlayStation 3 was about ten years old.    If anything making Uncharted 4 an PS4 exclusive was a good call by Naughty Dog especially since it still remains to be one of the most popular action-adventure titles for that console in the year 2018.
