At the height of the console wars, Video game company NaughtyDog
announced Uncharted 3. It was regrettably short-lived after it luckily made
amazing sales. Many who played it could tell you its story was brand new to the
series. Halfway through it the game took a drastic turn by showing the origins
of Nathan Drake. The secret battle the he had been entangled with surrounding his
Ancestor’s, Sir Francis Drake, ring, and the grand treasure beyond mortal
wealth. It was the story where, even though he is still a bit childish, Nathan
Drake had grew as a person by turning his back away from legendary treasures
and legends, including the grand thrill of adventure. The game ended up winning
the game of the year award which helped the sales of the Playstation 3 and the
games for a moment. It is my opinion that it was all because of Microsoft
wanting Xbox to be the top console that they partnered with mountain dew and
popularized mass marketing everywhere that drove down interest in gamers who
cared more about hype and fun commercials that gave up on Playstation and went
to Xbox because they had the “best” game selection, but was rather just a larger
selection. Ever since then, Playstation and Xbox have been at a kind of war
against each other ever since.
