Not to pick on you, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you are pretty young and rely on parents to buy games for you? Could be completely off.WendelI said:Hey why did the Sega Dream Cast went to console hell?
Well because it had awesome graphics but the game console and the games were very expensive. Poor people like Meeeee couldn't buy them even if we wanted to. also allot of games that were coming out for it were not using all the horses on the hood so its potential was in stranglehold. also there were only a FEW good games other were crappy to say the least. Allot can argue that this is what is happening to the wii (I know such a good concept shamed by things like wii music.) But the PS3 is getting the cost issue. I freaking love Heavenly sword, sword calibur, Ninja Gaiden and even the movie with game bits Metal Gear Solid 4. The problem is that I go play it at my rich friend's house! i don't own a PS3 and it is because it costs an EYE! Also their advertisement, IT is Horrendous, i have never seen a PS3 game ad. PlayStation is like "You like us? then you would probably be visiting our web page daily to see what is new." You have to be REALLY HARD CORE, But i mean REALLY Hard Core to be on top of your PS3. If you are selling the console equivalent of a Lamborghini then you should go above and beyond, Like clubs, and REALLY personalized construction. Not go for amazing graphics and expect the masses to pay 600 bucks for it.
And for the handhelds, this i is all i have to say,
Whats funner putting your hand on the screen or having it slip off your analogue stick?
I know it took me awhile to save for it, and I was finally relieved when I had enough money for the cheapo version (40gb). It's not as expensive if you put a higher benefit on it. The opportunity cost of buying this is quite large compared to other systems, but if you feel as though it will benefit you more than the other consoles, its economically sound to purchase the PS3. And you don't have to be rich to get one, just have to save.
