I'm not too sure that's going to happen this time. Most average people I know have dismissed it out of hand due to the price. I don't recall that ever happening with the PS2 or PS1.That's_Corporate said:

hahaproblem with that though, once people start accepting the next gen formats, what causes them to buy a ps3 opposed to a standalone player? absolutely nothing, imo the success of either format reaches far beyond the success of their respective consoles. i think the article hinged on the fact that the ps3's launch was the complete opposite of what it was expected to be. from a market share perspective, sony is going to lose a lot of it over the next several years. when the next wave of consoles comes in they could very well be the leader in market share, but by how much is the question.Furystrike said:

Not really. There have been almost no games engineered for the PS3 only yet. They are all shitty 360 ports, so we havent really been shown what the PS3 can do. The games that are PS3 exclusive have started to show how impressive the PS3 really is. Even Motor Storm which everyone made fun of and complained about even on these forums when the demo was first released is the talk of the town about being one of the most immersive and impressive looking racing games made, now that it has been fine tuned.Rocketpig said:
And without the overpriced floppy drive, it costs significantly less. $200 for a drive that doesn't improve gameplay or graphics in any way. It's like shopping for a television, but the guy at Circuit City says you have to buy the TV/VCR combo or go home.
Things that don't exist and may not ever. The damage is done.
Did they say that about the Lexus or Mercedes-Benz? How about the Rolls-Royce or Maybach?michealo said:
And so will everything else. You need to move ahead just to stay in the same place, and Microsoft has had a year head start. No way it's dropping in price when the PS3 doesn't break even yet.
In said case sony didn't do their job. To take the cynical viewpoint; why should I pay now for games that may or may not come out?CopyCat said:
Resistance fall of man? Also motor storm does look good but it is not leaps and bounds ahead of any 360 games and it is far from a deep racing game. I played the demo at my local gamestop and it seems to be the sony equivalent of exitetruck.
That microsoft can line up a good launch title?
It would seem to me that sony is banking on the ps3s power if it comes to be that no one can get anything more out of it than the 360 then sony will have to live a round of consoles like nintendo had to last round.
Ya the article may just be a talking parrot but what it echoes is true.But I dont agree with this article for a second. Sounds just like some another article riding the wave of bad press that Sony has created for itself. Gaming sites all over the internet are starting to get really excited about some of the upcoming PS3 titles.
But this is all of course just my opinion
Don't you think getting only "shitty 360 ports" at launch even with a year delay is a cause for concern? If you pop in PGR3 (a 360 launch title) today the graphics still hold up very well to titles that came out a year later. A game that doesn't get much press time is "Just Cause" for the 360....all you have to do is find a plane and cruise over the island to see that the 360 is capable of high end pc graphics. Hell....you can jump out of the plane and parachute all the way to the ground and see that it isn't just an illusion...if you see it you can go there and it's still detailed at ground level.CopyCat said:Not really.

Also, Halo was developed hand in hand with the XBOX by the same company. It is interesting that no game ever really topped that one in the entire life of the XBOX...I think that says something?
We have no idea whether or not the PS3 will blow the 360 out of the water graphics wise yet. Maybe...Maybe not.
I think the 360 is a great system. Maybe better in some ways than the PS3 and maybe it will win this round of consoles. But I dont agree with this article for a second.

But with respect... that's more because of the level it's coming from than the level it will be at!CopyCat said:
