I believe you really can't judge the worth of a system before it has been released and into the second generation of games.

No, you can't, but you can certainly decide not to buy one based on several factors, most of which point to sloppy marketing and other shortcomings.

Of course, I'm just saying it's too early to decide which system sucks.

Xbox is cool but nintendo wii will be better. I personally like PS2 more than xbox 360 because of the games.

And I will not bow down to a xbox fanboy.

I'm confident that none will flat out suck. Sony will be impressive and have a huge library, Microsoft will dominate the online market, and Nintendo will be cheap. I mean, everything has it's good points, but there are just a lot stacked against Sony at this point. They pulled a Moneleux (Creator of Fable who promised pretty much a free form game and delivered a linear action RPG) and overblew everything.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I might want to disagree with you on the library, Mal. PS2's library was large because it was the system of its generation (Dreamcast doesn't count), and a lot of people scrambled to buy it. Well, if a lot of people are buying a system, what will smart developers do? Develop for the popular system, of course. That, in itself, is a "vicious cycle" (for lack of a better term) that keeps selling consoles and causing developers to pump out games for said console.

If the PS3 flops because of its ridiculous price and lack of decent launch games (and that looks like it will probably be true), developers will back off and move to Wii and XBox 360. If we're going to look for the console with the biggest library of the next generation, I'd say it'll be XBox 360, followed closely by Wii.

One thing is certain: if Square Enix drops Sony, it'll fall right back in with Nintendo. Evidence shows that it may be leaning in that direction anyway. I'm predicting that a few publishers and developers are going to drop Sony like they did to Nintendo in the last generation and fall back in line with their previous loyalties. I think that Sony might even lose a few of the loyal developers they've had in the past two generations if the price stays at $600.

I have so many things I could say right now that I'm thinking about, but I'm just going to sum it up in two words: Sony sucks. They don't care about their customers, and they obviously don't give a damn about their own financial health, much less the financial health of the 3rd party developers that they've been supported by recently. What kind of business strategy is that?

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I heard the PS3 controllers are the same thing as ps2 controllers, but they remove the vibration function for the tilt censor...

[Squeek]

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

They didn't remove the vibration to make room for tilt, they removed it because they stole it from another company and lost a lawsuit filed against them with regards to this case.

And for anyone who says vibration and tilt can't work together anyway, obviously not because the wiimote has it.

Vibrations back btw.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Show me proof. Nothing I have read so far has said they re-implemented vibration features into the PS3 controller.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

There is no proof because they aren't putting it back. Sony sucks. BD will blow and flop. Im buying a ps3 to put it on ebay. I think the $750 spent on it will be worth the 150% - 300% payback increase I will get for it.
