PS3 is dead (IMO)

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Chromer, honestly, if you owned a 360 and knew some of those games were coming out for both consoles, would you pay $600 for slightly better graphics (maybe)?

I enjoy saving money. I know I wouldn't.

If Sony cannot hold onto exclusives, they don't have a chance. The 360 is already a worldwide console with a pretty large install base for only a year on the market. It's also cheaper and easier to program for.

Put yourself in the developer's shoes. You have a rockin' title coming out and all of your gameplay demos (done on the PC) are getting rave reviews. Are you going to port it to PS3, where it requires 500,000 sold copies to even turn a profit (speaking of which, Resistance hasn't even gotten half of this and it's the top seller) or will you port it to 360, where it requires much fewer sold copies and is much easier to program for? Not to mention that there are already more 360s in households than PS3s and it looks like it's going to stay that way.

For those who call me a Nintendo fanboy, note that this is the first time in this entire post that I've even mentioned Nintendo. I am biased against Sony but only because their track record is HORRIBLE and they show no signs of attempting to fix it.

Devil May Cry 4.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Devil May Cry 4.

Still, that's one game.

let's say there are 10 Ps3 only games that you want.

1 Ps3 w/ 1 controller, tons of bugs= 600 $
1 spare controller for 2-player Tkn= 50 $
10 games= 700$ (10X70)
Memory Cards= 25 $ (hopefully)
Being able to tell your friend that MGS4 looks better for the money=priceless

wow, and since a good bit of those ten are new being ported for like 30 bucks cheaper, Im calling my man Squeek the winner of the thread unless someone makes a pretty good stand.

Although I don't think the PS3 will be the most succesful of the new consoles It's too early to claim that it's failed.

Now I can agree to that. It is a little early as Sony might have a trick up their sleeve (but if that's true then they better get on it NOW as it's looking bad and once people buy 360's and Wii's then they prob wont buy Ps3 anyway)

I honestly don't care about what system I get as long as it has fun games. I happen to like Devil May Cry a lot, But Gears Of War looks sick.


Won't the prices drop later on in the ps3 though?

1) It usually takes a year or two of solid sales before companies even consider dropping the price. That is if they can manufacture the parts cheaper than they were before.

2) Sony sells PS3s at least two hundred dollars cheaper than it costs to make them. They're already taking millions in losses from these sales. Odds are good that they won't drop anytime soon.

Gears is the Beast of Xbox Live and I mean BEAST

If it doesnt go over now, then Sony wont fix the bugs and it will fall of the face of the world. I predict Sony becoming hand-held only.

Besides, who here will wait fo that? I rekon that's what Im asking by making this topic: Who Would rather wait for PS3 then buy XBOX360 and still get the same game (cuz we know others will follow Sega's/Konami's footsteps) And Why?


Oops didnt see Squeek's post yeah They're already taking a hit, I keep forgeting that....

PSP is a failure and a half. If they pull out of consoles, they'll pull out of video games completely.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

The Xbox 360 was only successful in America and Europe. While the Japanese are starting to take some notice of the 360, it still not the hit that Microsoft wanted. In the long run, the PS3 has the potential to outlast the Wii and the 360 due to it computer-like qualities.

This thread is exactly why none of you should become doctors.

Doctor: "What seems to be the probably here?"

Nurse: "The patient was involved in a car crash. His right clavicle is broken, but other than that he sustained no serious injury."

Doctor: "Nurse, what time is it?"

Nurse: "2:14 sir."

Doctor: "Time of death: 2:14 December 26th, 2006."

Nurse: "Sir? You haven't even seen the patient yet."

Doctor: "I don't need to see the patient, Nurse. I'm a doctor, you can trust me. There's nothing we can do to save him."

Nurse: "But doctor, it's just a dislocation."

Doctor: "Thanks, but if I wanted someone's advice, I wouldn't ask a med school drop-out."

Nurse: "..."

Doctor: "That's more like it. Listen, I know everything. I'm a doctor. You needn't second guess my opinion. I'm right about everything. Now get that body down to the morgue before it starts to decompose."

Nurse: "He's not dead!"

Doctor: "I think I'd know a dead body when I see one."

Nurse: "BUT HE'S NOT DEAD! At least look at the patient for Christ's sake!"

Doctor: "If he is so alive, then why isn't he moving about like these other, living patients."

Nurse: "Maybe because he was knocked unconscious so that we could set his clavicle back in place."

Doctor: "I see nothing wrong with his clavichord."

Nurse: "Clavicle."

Doctor: "What?"

Nurse: "The clavicle is the collarbone, a clavichord is a a small, rectangular keyboard instrument that produces a soft sound by means of metal blades attached to the ends of key levers that gently press the strings."

Doctor: "I know what a clavichord is, Nurse."

I would be the Nurse in that one.
