One-Fifth of PS3 Owners Are Eyeing the Exit

I was eyeing the door ever since I started looking into PC games 
Better online service than the 360, with the online cost of the Ps3. Zilch.

I'm kinda sad that I can't play some of my games since they require internet access (littlebigplanet for example) but all of this will not make me abandon sony and go to 360 permanently. I can wait for as long as it takes for psn to come back up as long as the mistakes can't be repeated. Making me pay for internet on a console is just stupid, I already got to pay cable bills I don't want another 60 bucks that could go to a game to just get crap service on an IMO inferior console to the ps3. Sony has given me the best service, followed by nintendo Wii, but mostly ps3 I have been the most satisfied with ever since I gave it a chance. I don't want sony to die out or else I'll give up gaming forever.
HA! i have to agree with that. the 3DS is making money (even after a pretty lackluster launch, none the less) and i don't think that nintendo has done anything that horrible. well, ASIDE from license Zelda and Mario games to the Phillips CD-i, but thats a whole other story in general.alrekr said:So the 3DS has gotten thousands (millions?) of people's information stolen and has knocked people out of possibly multiple services that they may or may not have payed for? For over a week?ZeroMachine said:
This is news to me.
Yeah, looking for a serious answer here, not a "I hate Nintendo lawls" answer. The 3DS is making them money. Your argument is invalid.[/]
PSN makes sony money... OH YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
See it works both ways
PSN is free to use (not that many people use plus) and so whats a week out of our time. Its only been shut down for so long so that they can have redesign of their defence system. Heck its your own problem if you use the same password for everything.
*disclaimer* I am not a ps3 fanboy I prefer my pc but I do own a ps3 (can't be bothered to pay for live) and this is a opinnion!
but there will always be trolls, there will always be fan boys, there will always be war amongst the console gamers. hell, when you think about it, this has been going on ever since Nintendo and Sega. then Sega was replaced by Sony. then Xbox took Nintendo's place because Nintendo appealed to the casual crowd and made a BUTT-TON of cash. i honestly think the only reason that we are still arguing which system is better is because we've always been doing it. there really isn't much of a difference between the two systems. OK hardware is different but GAMING-wise it's pretty much the same, it just depends on what you want in a system
Ah hell, I bought a PS3 back when I didn't even have online capabilities (such a hipster phrase)
So not switching...
So not switching...
I don't care about online...so this isn't an issue for me beyond the possible fear of fraud against my information.
It would very much surprise me if 1/5th of the console owners shelled out hundreds of dollars to go to xbox and buy the new games on there. This stat may be real in theory...but in reality it'll be different...I doubt 1/5th PS3 owners have the $300+ dollars lying around to buy an XBOX, extra controllers/accessories and games. Unless the statistic assumes new purchases of the system.

Because pcs are more expensive and dont plug in easily to TVs? Probably that.TheComfyChair said:
so about 400 people said they want to switch to xbox.
that's not a groundbreaking figure right there.
I wonder how many people like me have gotten wise to nintendo handhelds and will wait till V2? GBA sp, DS lite? definatly waiting for 3DS lite.True Nero said:HA! i have to agree with that. the 3DS is making money (even after a pretty lackluster launch, none the less) and i don't think that nintendo has done anything that horrible. well, ASIDE from license Zelda and Mario games to the Phillips CD-i, but thats a whole other story in general.alrekr said:So the 3DS has gotten thousands (millions?) of people's information stolen and has knocked people out of possibly multiple services that they may or may not have payed for?

Ah-yep. I liked the PS2, but Sony just didn't catch up to it's rivals in the online-community race.GonzoGamer said:
Actually it is. You don't understand statistics and that IS a signigicant number. The real reason its no fuss is that people are "considering" switch, and people be lazy. Very few will actually switch. But the 1/5 stat is accurate.health-bar said:
I'd recommend those that are thinking about switching DO NOT sell your PS3 yet unless it's the only way you'll get cash for the 360. Wait a few months and then sell, the market is currently flooded with second hand PS3s and you'll get bugger all for it, a two month wait and you'll recoup a lot more of your hard earned cash.
