Look, the point is that I don't like those games. I at least have some good games to look forward to on the PS3. Why is it wrong that those games don't appeal to me? Maybe I've had enough of Metroid or enough of Mario games. Maybe I've had enough of shooters and games that all follow the same plot.Treblaine said:snip

It's not just good for its price, it's pretty much the best, period. Why? Sony's updates keep the Blu-ray profile up to the minute current.

I love that, I really do. There's something endearing about thinking of my Wii and PS3 as being pals. Currently, my PS3 is consoling my Wii, telling it that even though it hasn't been turned on in 3 months, its owner still loves it.Assassinator said:[IMAGE OMITTED]

Aa yes, I know that, my PC is reassuring my 360 that I still love him even though my PC gets so much more playtime. What can I say, TF2 is addicting.Jimmyjames said:I love that, I really do.

Indeed, and that's exactly the excuse (although it's not a lie) I tell to my dad to buy a PS3. He hates consoles and gaming in general, and would outright forbid me to buy another console. But since I bought a new HD tv, it's fine to buy a Blu Ray player. And the PS3 just háppens to be the best one out there. And gee, it can play some games as well! *giggles*Jimmyjames said:It's not just good for its price, it's pretty much the best, period. Why?

It's not the fact that you don't like them, it's your reasons why you don't like them. I mean, have you actually played Bioshock, Mass Effect and Fallout 3? I don't know, but at least I did, and I honestly cannot understand how you can say that they would feel the same. You don't even play as a 'warrior' in 2 of those games! I have to agree with Treblaine that you're not exactly being fair, you're ruling out games without really playing them, I can't understand why anyone would do that. Heck I can't understand why anyone could have a preconcieved opinion about anything, be it movies or games or music or whatever. "Condemned doesn't look great" but have you actually played it?Pendragon9 said:snip

10% make smart comments to how the PS3 will do good because of the large amount of exclusives heading for it
the rest will just make some argument with prices in them.
i shall be different and just say that i don't care because i'm a happy gamer

It's not all their fault.

The PS3 has the most bang for the buck, period. You can do far more with a PS3 than an XBox 360, fact. Problem is, Jack Tretton is assuming that everyone WANTS to do all that with the PS3. When it comes down to it, (most) people buy consoles to play games, something that the Wii demonstrated. There's definitely a "cool shit" factor when a PS3 owner actually figures out all the stuff a PS3 can do, but it ultimately comes down to gaming experience. Sony would do well to drop the price a bit and overhaul it's online strategy. Home is a good start, but they need so much more.

You shouldn't get defensive unless you think you were overcharged for your ps3 and you shouldn't be a smug if you have a 360 that's likely to melt any day now.
These are gamers you're talking about here, I'm not saying we can't be mature and civil but gamers are the biggest suckers on the face of the planet (no offense to the few savvy consumers here) and can't resist falling into a pr trap.gof22 said:GonzoGamer said:It's not all their fault.

They don't have to get defensive and offensive when reading the articles. They could act like mature and civil people.
True, I still believe they could exercise restraint.GonzoGamer said:These are gamers you're talking about here, I'm not saying we can't be mature and civil but gamers are the biggest suckers on the face of the planet (no offense to the few savvy consumers here) and can't resist falling into a pr trap.gof22 said:GonzoGamer said:It's not all their fault.

Well, it wasn't fair for him to say every PS3 exclusive isn't good when he hasn't played them all. It's not fair that he gets off the hook so easily.Assassinator said:snip

Of course, Treblaine hasn't said that PS3 exclusives aren't good. He's just acknowledged Sony's various business missteps, as well as what other platforms have to offer.Pendragon9 said:Well, it wasn't fair for him to say every PS3 exclusive isn't good when he hasn't played them all.

Thats because, well, they're sony...remember when they cared about actually making high-performance TV's and DVD players? I kinda preferred them then, because they are just kinda treating the PS3 like a media player more than an actual game console...Kwil said:Note his comments don't touch the gaming aspect of the PS3 at all.
This jibes with what I've been saying for a bit. The games market for the PS3 is purely a secondary consideration, and they don't care if it goes belly up so long as the PS3 cements Blu-Ray as the next content distribution media.
