PS3 is dead (IMO)

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

The PS3 is too delicate of a machine to let some 9-year old have. Why do you think most people who camped out for PS3's were buying them for older teens and those who were camping out for Wiis were buying them for younger children? Point right there.

Point taken.

Sony has invested alot of cash, and your right, droping out now would be stupid. But it's not like they can really lower the price over time(as Squeek pointed out), but the 360 can prob do just that in 2 years. I fear that in THAT time Sony will have droped out. They's still not enough people buying them. Now in Japan I might be wrong, but as the USA goes I think this is the hight of their sales.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

I think the reason why the 360 can drop their prices is becuae Microsoft is one of the richest companies in the world. They **** 360s like we breathe air. Sony cannot do tis to their product and lose the first round of the fight. There is plently of life to experience with the PS3, but alot of people won't even give them the chance before they fully hatch from the proverbial egg.

To anyone who thinks that the PS3 is going to fail,

Sony is a multi-billion dollar corporation. I think they know what they are doing.

That's what Im saying: As great as it is, if no one gives them a shot then they die. I would like to have one but the MONEY side of it comes to mind. I cant, most wont.

No sales=R.I.P PS3

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Sony has invested too much money to drop out now. You people also forget that both Microsoft AND Sony are taking a huge risk by promoting their new disc formats: HD-DVD and Blue Ray. While it might not look like it, unless both corporations can sell their formats to the public, they both lose, end of story.

Blu-Ray is Sony's primary selling point. Cell is the second point. Sony NEEDS Blu-Ray to succeed for the PS3 to be worthwhile.

Hd-DVD is an attachment. It's optional. Microsoft would like it it people bought it, but they don't expect too much. Really, it was just a way for X360 owners to get an HD-DVD player cheaper than the actual box.

Comparisons need all of the facts in place to work.

I thought XBox 360 games were in HD-DVD format....

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Yes, all games for the 360 are in HD-DVD format. Looks like Squeek needs to get his information correct.

[nforcer06164]

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Squeek's had wrong information about quite a few things... even the Wii. So, I usually take the things he says with a grain of salt.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Actually 360 games are in DVD9 format. Ugh Inside the 360 is a simple dvd player not a hd-dvd player so therefore it could not play HD-DVD games. OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T NEED AN ATTACHEMENT TO PLAY HD-DVD MOVIES. THINK WITH YOUR HEAD.

You can obviously tell because most of the games are not higher then 9GB.

YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WITH THE WRONG INFOMATION.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Well, you also have to remember that the PS3 is not just a game player. They're trying to turn it into a mutlimedia requirement like a computer. With add-ons, it could probably do some amazing things.

[Squeek]

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

-.- come on guys.

The HD-DVD is an attachment. Obviously if you need an attachment to read HD-DVDs, the game format is not HD-DVD.

[ToshX]

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Yes, but with a system costing $500 at least, it must have many capabilities for attachments. They wouldn't put an entirely useless and expensive player in there just for fun.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Tosh, they will do that.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

They're probably just trying to make it into a powerful computer-like system or something. It's going to have its crappy stages. The 'Ray just shows they were trying to plan for the future. Remember, all the other Playstations lasted for 6-7 years, a pretty large chunk of our lives.
