Sony to PS3 Detractors: Go Sell Razor Blades

[Epic_Rocker]

I'm pretty sure Sony's planning to release a new PS3, without the Blue Ray player at a cheaper price, or something like that. xP It was probably just a rumour though. (xP I got my PlayStation anyway. ^^;

How does that make any sense though? All the games for the PS3 are one Blu-ray, how does it make any sense to release a pretty much brand new console in general? It's less than a rumour, it's impossible unless Sony really is that dumb (though, admitedly, it's wouldn't be all that impro-NO! Bad Jumpy! Be a fanboy you twit!).

Thought I missed some.

And so what if their not brilliant? there is VARIETY at the very least! a majority of people probably haven't tried half the games they say are crap, we are ALL guilty of this even if we try to better ourselves.

Look I said it before, I don't want any console to not break even. Competition is good for buisness if there is no competition then things become like the WWE is right now. Stagnant, boring and losing more and more people every day.

That sir, is my number one bug-bear; so I can safely say I don't slag a game off as crap without first playing it as I hate it so much in others. I'll say something doesn't interest me, but not that it's crap.

Having owned and loved a Dreamcast from its release date, I know what it's like to "back the wrong horse" and as you said no one wants a console not to break even. Competition is a good thing. Look what's happened to Sega now the pressure is off; they've become fat and lazy and just turn out mediocre sequels or shovelware.

And you couldn't be more right about the WWE.

Hey look. The fanboy alarm. Lets ring it. AWOOGA AWOOGA!

(In all fairness, I've long since decided to listen only to Indigo Dingo's points having nothing to do with the console war. It seems to be THE hot button issue there, it's like treading water in Sony-branded shark infested waters.)

xP *Sony Fanboy here* I'm not quite sure. There's something about taking out alot of the extra crap and making it just about gaming. I read it in some gaming magazine while I was getting junk food like two weeks ago.

Game Informer reported that in the next few months the PS3 is dropping to $299.00. As for all of the flaming, well it's all a matter of taste. As for investing in the system I feel I made the best choice. Anything that's worth playing for the 360 is also on the PC. As the media industry moves forward and blue ray takes an even bigger hold of the market then the PS3 will sell like hot cakes, because it is the cheapest blue ray player. The gaming is the same as it was on the PS2 and the products are just as good if not better. The online is free and offers almost everything Live does. Everything else is on its way and I'm okay with that. Sony hasn't let me down and if they do at least I have a very heavy weapon.

*sighs* Sony for some reason seem to be trying to sell their ridiculously priced console on the exclusive games. But lets face it are 3 good exclusives and a Blu Ray player most people wont use enough to justify shelling out that cash?
(the games i mean are Killzone 2, MGS4, and GOW3 none of which I'm interested in, but a lot of people like)

Well if thats the criteria, the Ps3 really stacks up well against the 360, which has no decent games and never will have any decent games in any form, and just sits there, getting broken and more useless.

Hey look. The fanboy alarm. Lets ring it. AWOOGA AWOOGA!

Ummm, yeah? What, are you trying to be clever, it's common knowledge that Indigo_Dingo is the president of the PS3 fanboys division. We're having trouble with the PC division, and we don't have anyone in the 360 or Wii division so far. Want to join up? We've got excellent dental plans and 401k's!

But if I may note something for a bit, I see that people are saying that hte PS3 has no good games. The problem is is that you people are mixing up games that you're not interested in with games the PS3 has overall. Omni made a large list on Ps3 exclusive games, but someone said "Only one of them interests me.", but that wasn't his point on the whole list. It doesn't matter if you personally don't have an interest in it, but nobody can deny any longer that the PS3 has games. You can deny that you don't have an personal interst in those games, but the volume is still there, you can't deny that.

People are stuck in 2006, flip over the 6 and you'll have the current situation. It may not be flowers and daisies for the PS3, but it sure is a hell of a lot better than it was in 2006.

I am a fanboy of no platform. I use what i prefer. Next gen that may be a PC, whatever microsoft put out, or whatever Sony do next. All depends on what i see is for me.

Aw poo, you sure? Every second Tuesday of the month the 360 fanboys get to choose what movie we get to see at the parties!

What this article is esentially saying is that the major developers are starting to realize the Wii's potential, and as such, are starting to develop games for it. Whereas with Sony, who seems determined to go bankrupt through ignorant/arrogant business decisions, will only continue to lose money as developers realize that they have no incentive to spend the extra effort to program games for it.

Why spend twice the deveoplent time to make half the money on a PS3 when you can spend half the development time and make twice the money on the Wii?

 

[Simriel]

My sentiments exactly. I'm not interested in the Blu-ray at this time and am just not willing to fork over the extra money. I had a PS1 and a PS2, but went with the Xbox 360 this time around simply because of price.

So you honestly have no interest in LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, or Killzone 2?

Who DOESN'T have intrest in these games? The point he's trying to make is: the 360/Wii is cheaper and has at LEAST the same amount of gaming goodness. So why buy something pricier?

Because one has a future, and one doesn't. Lets just look at this years upcoming releases of pure and untapped awesome for the Ps3. You have God Of War III, Gran Turismo 5, MAG, White Knight Chronicles, God of War III, Heavy Rain, God of War III, inFAMOUS, God Of War III, Singstar Queen (people keep omitting it, and I don't begrudge that - it is Singstar, after all - but its still built around the works of the best group for random singing ever, Queen. I cannot count the number of times a group of friends and I have burst into spontaneous Bohemian Rhapsody's), God Of War III, and a fair amount of damn cool downloadable games. If you look at the 360, you've got jack shit, unless Alan Wake suprises everyone. The Ps3 has far greater potential for awesome than the 360, and is showing it in spades.

So its okay, even praiseable when he does it, but not when I point out the logical implications of what he's saying? Can you say hypocrite?

As i have said. I have no allegiance to any platform. I know of all these games, and quite frankly none interest me.

I have nothing against the console, i just have small hands. Using the PS controller for shooting games gives me terrible hand cramps. And i like me my shooters.

I'll tell you that in my case price is a big obstacle to getting a PS3... because it'd be my second system, the one I would use less, and it's hard for me to justify the extra cost given that so few of the titles exclusive to the PS3 draw my interest.

I'll confess that there was no way I wasn't going to buy an Xbox 360; I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Halo fan and that decided my first console pick for me above all other considerations. But that wouldn't stop me from getting a PS3 if the price migrated south a bit for this winter and a few more titles came out that got my attention.
