Poll: PS3 Release Sony Mistake Repeated

[Something Amyss]

Yup, you twist and turn your words, you wont get pinned down despite the fact that you are quite clearly wrong. I am thrilled to see that I am able to predict the gist of what your next post will say. You can say that your post wasn't directed at me, but then why would you quote me? Just to annoy me? I would accept that explanation because it's quite accurate.

No, because it was related to the statement you made. Odd, as it's a valid explanation, and yet you jump to accusations before considering it.

Oddly enough, the only person twisting my words here is you.

I can't disagree with you there. You based your reply on my statement. I said that you based it on insufficient information.
Now in your last post you said this wasn't directed at me, but more of a general statement. Now it was directed at me? Am I misunderstanding here?

Also I asked you why you would quote my post if you didn't direct your accusation at me. Please answer this. I am thrilled to know the answer and you seem reluctant to answer it. I look forward to ignoring your next reply in two days when you have had the time to think about how you're going to twist this discussion so you feel like you come out on top.

Edit: Also you don't really need to reply to this post. I know it's futile and you probably know you're in the wrong even if you don't feel like admitting it.

For me, the Xbox satisfied my console needs by the time the PS3 came out so I never felt the need to ever buy one (still haven't to this day). Plus the PS3 being ludicrously expensive for my family at the time played a huge factor, but having a good console already persuaded me to never bother buying a PS3.

The same happened in regards the original Xbox, I already had a PS2, so why bother buying another console that wasn't much of an improvement over the PS2. The titles didn't interest me much, we didn't have internet, and again it was very expensive.

Disclaimer: Exclusive titles don't bother me, to the point where I want a £200 block with it.

I think Sony's pricing was its biggest mistake with the PS3. The PS2 was a hell of a bargain and outsold everything else even though it was underpowered. Personally I think a strong launch title makes or breaks alot of these consoles.

Except I didn't, and again, you accuse me of that which you do.

Either that or making it up from whole cloth. Please point out where you believe I said this. Re-reading, I cannot find it.

Also I asked you why you would quote my post if you didn't direct your accusation at me. Please answer this.

I already did. In the last post. I'll bold the relevant part:

No, because it was related to the statement you made.

I am thrilled to know the answer and you seem reluctant to answer it.

I'm not sure explicitly answering it is a sign of reluctance.

I look forward to ignoring your next reply in two days when you have had the time to think about how you're going to twist this discussion so you feel like you come out on top.

You claim you want serious answers, but look at what you just said. Are you serious? I'm having trouble with that one.

In the end, they tied in the race to second AND won the HD wars. I'm not sure that qualifies as a mistake. They also have more exclusives and a better multimedia setup, which is one of the big things Microsoft has been fighting to do.

Yea, that is true, I read that also about Sony catching up in sales eventually. I'm just speculating here honestly and maybe I'm wrong and Sony would have lost too much money lowering their price more initially.
