The PS3 Is Here.

[Squeek]

You mean when Nintendo turned a profit on every system sold for both of those console sales? Uh oh.

Wii could fail and Nintendo would turn a profit because they're selling them at a profit.

Minute details? You mean the facts that...

1) It doesn't fit on my desk?
2) It doesn't have any good games?
3) It doesn't have any good upcoming games?
4) It won't have any exclusive titles?
5) It doesn't look fun at all?

Sorry, but get your oversized Blu-Ray player out of yours. Just at least tell me what you actually want it for.

[Afrobean]

If I was to get a PS3, the only thing I'd do with it is play THP8.

That **** looks godly. Other than that, PS3 games look to be not worthy of anything.

[Squeek]

It's coming out on Xbox 360, Afro.

Ahahaha. I love all the mudslinging in here. I read from #324, and was thinking, "Oh **** Squeek just got owned," and then he countered. I laughed so hard.

[Squeek]

Maybe if Sony had a better track record for not sucking majorly.

I know.

However, I'm not willing to get a Xbox360 just for THP8 either (I can't stand the controller of it either ugh). I'll be getting the PS2 version soon, and if that sucks too bad, I'll probably wait for a cheap used PS3 and get a "top sold" rerelease of it much later.

I don't see the Playstation or Playstation 2 sucking majorly or am I just naive? Don't get me wrong, the N64 showed the world the jump to fully 360 degree 3D, however, Sony capitalized on the growing market media with CDs rendering cartridges obsolete. I wholeheartedly believe had CDs not caught on, we'd be popping cartridges into the Wii, but I digress. Also, the Gamecube wasn't a disaster? "Oh yes, were making money off of each console we sell." What's the damn point if THEY NEVER SOLD WELL?

Also Squeek, most of the questions you asked were answered by yourself a while ago when you complained about how Sony makes shoddily made hardware and what not. Hmmm.... Let's see about that. You have the PS3: a sophisticated piece of machinery that functions as a multimedia center compared to the Wii: an innovative console whose whole purpose is in it's very name: to include everyone from children to adults. Which one would have more structure in order to avoid damage? Wii. Besides, why are you complaining about size? Last time I remembered, the PS2 was the first console to able to be turned sideways like a PC tower. The Wii can do the same thing. I wonder where that idea came from....

To end this rant, I'm a hardcore Sony fan. However, even I have enough common sense to know that $600 at this point in time is not a wise investment. There are no outstanding games for the PS3 out yet, the system isn't completely up yet, and errors won't even met me enjoy old games like Tekken 5. However, to blatantly point out faults in order to further prove "your point" only shows your extreme biased view to something that should be looked at objectively.

Like wat was said way back i'm gonna go out on a limb and say people bought a PS3 for the Blue-Ray and Graphics not inivation, and i hate the fact that the Wii cant play DVD movies and there gonna make you buy an entirely new Wii just to get that add-on Which stinks, i mean not just buy the add-on BUT buy another system *sigh* luckly i haven't bought either i've played the Wii and it was great but I quess I cant Pass to much judgement cause i dont own one.

Even if Sony hadn't pioneered the use of CDs as a console gaming medium, it would have still caught on eventually thanks to it's use as a gaming medium for the PC.

Also, the Gamecube wasn't a disaster? "Oh yes, were making money off of each console we sell." What's the damn point if THEY NEVER SOLD WELL?

The Gamecube wasn't a disaster. It didn't do extremely well, but it was far from a disaster. For instance, the Dreamcast was a disaster. The Virtual Boy was a disaster. N-GAGE was a disaster. The Gamecube was not.

Last time I remembered, the PS2 was the first console to able to be turned sideways like a PC tower. The Wii can do the same thing. I wonder where that idea came from....

From PCs...

And by the way, anyone who not buy a system because it doesn't play a movie format is stupid. By now, I'm sure everyone has a DVD player in their home, and if they don't, a DVD player can be purchased for a rather small sum of money.

[Chromer]

The Gamecube had an extremely well launch but did not take back the market share like people had hoped it would. Dreamcast was not a disaster as well seeing how the Dreamcast out-performed the PS2 in its early times before Sega pulled the plug.

Good argument champ.

Not now, neither does Wii except TP. Apparently Resistance: Fall of Man is good though. However, you don't like those types of games, so too bad for YOU. Not everyone else who plays games rated T and M.

3) It doesn't have any good upcoming games?

MGS4, GTA4, Pretty much every RPG worth playing.

4) It won't have any exclusive titles?

MSG4, Final Fantasy, Pretty much every RPG worth playing.

5) It doesn't look fun at all?

OHEFOOEH U GOTS ME

So I hear you are the only one to own a PS3.

How is it?

[Squeek]

Good argument

I hope you were being sarcastic, because this IS a good argument. A lot of people don't have room for a massive console like the PS3. Heck, I'm downstairs now at my entertainment center and I cannot find a place for that thing. I look upstairs at the other wall unit and, again, there is no room for it. All I could do is put it on the floor, whereas my Wii sits perfectly on the side of my big screen with room to spare.

Oh.

Super Monkey Ball
Trauma Center
Wii Sports

Three of the best games I've ever played and none of them are Zelda.

MGS4, GTA4, Pretty much every RPG worth playing.

So far, GTA is looking like moving onto Xbox 360. So far, RPG companies are looking to move onto Wii. And you forgot Devil May Cry, but that has chances of going to 360 as well.

Resistance is probably a great game. Is it worth paying $660?

False. You and Afro are both wrong. Sony did not pioneer the CD on a home console. Seven consoles used CDs before Sony PlayStation came onto the market.

NEC Turbo Grafx 16 - 1989
NEC TurboDuo - 1992
Sega CD for Genesis - 1992
Panasonic 3DO Interactive - 1993
Sega CD for Genesis 2 - 1994
SNK NEO-GEO CD - 1994
Atari Jaguar CD - 1995

Sony PlayStation released in 1995 after every single one of those systems. Don't believe me?

This is true. Now that I have a Wii, I have no room for my PS2. Also, I cannot stand my Wii upright (and I have a paranoia with heat horizontally) in my TV stand, and it stands in a prime place to be knocked over next to my TV.

All those consoles you named sucked. Who cares if they came before Playstation? They failed. The Playstation did not.

Sony may not have been the first to use CDs, but they were the first to use CDs with widespread success.

[Grandiagod]

Even though the N64 was more powerful than the PSX, the PSX still outsold and got more exclusive third party games due to the freedom allowed with the CD format.

All those other systems sucked because no one cared about them. They could have probably done well if they had a HUEG electronics company behind them, but instead they just got sucky games.

PS. Stand the PS3 on its side, takes up less room.

[Chromer]

Squeek, the whole "no space" argument is just bunk by now. Turn it sideways and you can stop complaining. Yes, I'm a Sony fan, but I still bought a Wii. Why? Because the Wii is obviously the best choice for a console at the moment. Once Sony gets the ball rolling with Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Stranglehold, Lair, and other games, then I'll want to get one. However, one game does not warrant the purchase of a $600 system no matter how good it is.
