PS3 is dead (IMO)

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Oh yes, you're comparing a game that is on a system that's been out for a year, to a game that just released on two systems not less than two months ago.

Wow. Nice fail there blitz. No, and I will say it for the last ****ing time because you people are pissing me the hell off. I AM NOT AND REPEAT NOT A FANBOY. I just don't like seeing things not given chances just because one person says otherwise.

This is why.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

I love how you guys just let Squeek bully you into believing his warped view of video games. I literally just read that mind-rape he pulled on you and am ashamed of you all.

Wow. So apparently convincing sombody means they were bullyed into it and there is no way they could make sense.

Sorry but you are the hugest PS3 fanboy ever looking at some of your points really makes me gasp with amazement.

P.S lol













PICTURES SAY A MILLION WORDS.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Chromer, Squeek didnt turn me and Tosh from the PS3

After looking at some of the graphics, I have to say that I like the 360 a little better now, but I'm not really certain which one I want yet.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

The PS3 did screw up their launch. They reported that they'd have a certain amount of PS3s at launch and continually reported that they'd have less and less PS3s for release. Not only that, these numbers decreased by MANY thousands.

Chromer, you have to keep in mind that for a gamer for like say, Afro and Squeek, the games is an important element. They definitly do not want just one game, they want more. That is what they are basing their argument on the PS3s crappy grand total of 11.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

I don't see how squeek is trying to bully people into not buying a PS3. If people want a PS3 and have actually looked at all the information about it then they should know themselves if they want one or not.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Chris how am I being a fanboy? All I'm saying is 1.) Don't let Squeek bully you into not getting a PS3 if you really want one, and 2.) Don't doom Sony to failure just because of a not so stellar launch and ****ty prices which you seem to be doing a good job of at the moment.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

So what if alot of games for the Wii look like their for young people, that doesn't mean they are not fun for older people as well. As long as a game is fun I don't care what age group it's focused at. The Wii can be enjoyed by all ages.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Sony rushed the launch. It's rather obvious. They also believe in the blu-ray technology and everything else in it. Very rough start and looks bad, but only time will tell. The launch games for PS3 are lackluster in terms of launch games... Nothing to warrant a $600 tag right now. Future? Yeah, probably, if you really want a number of games as well as have a TV to take advantage of it. Otherwise you're just paying extra for the games that you want... :/

Sony is aiming for the tech-savvy gamers, as well as the ones who MUST have their exclusive games. Microsoft is aiming at all types of the main gamers. Nintendo is aiming for everyone. Same market, different directions. The PS3 is much more limited in market, so it has a lot to prove.

Personally, I get my fill of the types of games Sony and Microsoft offer on my PC, so I don't need them. Nintendo has always been my jello. I'm full, but theres always room for jello. :>

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Now if you'll notice, most of those games are for the younger demographic. Hmm, the Wii was released November 12th right? OHSNAP JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

And so was the Xbox 360 and the PS3.

OHSNAP

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSNAP!

That's the worst argument I've ever heard for...anything. I don't even get what the point of proving the Wii is for a younger demographic is going to prove anyway. Games like True Crime: New York City prove that games for a "mature" audience can suck absolute balls (and it's not uncommon) and Viva Pinata proves that games intended for younger kids can be good.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Chromer, Squeek didnt turn me and Tosh from the PS3, Ps3 having a grand total of 11 games at a time on the hard drive, costing 600 bucks, having games that few people care about, and the fact that you cant play most Namco/Capcom/Konami ps2 games off it tuned us from it (you can find a link to a list of non-working PS2/PS1 games at IGN.com)

11 games? I have 37 games for my ps2 (yes I know that owning every Tekken and DDR have brought up the number) add the fact that PS3 games are going to cost 70 big ones = a mess for Sony

Just to clear this up: Im a Sony Fanboy. I do love Nintendo, but that fanboy died in 1997. Ive been on Sony's side for a long time now.

My mom went to the same college that Bob Ross was teaching at back in the 70's. Back then the kids use to make fun of him but I went there awhile ago and now it's cool to like "The Happy Tree Guy" lolololol This is rich!!!

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

I have no intention of buying crappy 3rd party games such as Barnyard just because I want to see what a high-definition cow looks like ( I want to by the way XD).

Afro, no I'm not being a fanboy. I love Nintendo just as much as I love Sony. However their recent decisions sans Wii, left me feeling dissapointed, kinda like Sony dissapointed Squeek. However, I can forgive their mistakes. Squeek is a true fanboy (yes you are Squeek) and cannot forgive Sony. You can't compare the Wii to the PS3. They are two totally different machines: one a video game console and the other basically a digital media center. If I was a fanboy Chris, I would be in here bashing Nintendo to Kingdom Come but I'm not. Squeek is and he bullied you guys into changing how you felt just because he feels Sony should suffer for their recent sins. I don't. Hey, if you want to follow Squeek go ahead, doesn't bother me none.

What.

No, seriously, what.

The PS3 is as of right now doing very poorly and they have little going for them in the near future. Bluray is terrible compared to HDDVD due to its high manufacturing cost.

ps Squeek isn't being a fanboy. He's being an antifanboy.You however, really are being a fanboy. Even though the PS3 has such ****tiness to it you keep praising it as though somehow the high manufacturing cost (and subsequently retail price) will go away and that bluray will somehow reign supreme. How is Sony supposed to come out on top when it has little going for it and costs 2x more than its competition?

I believe that Sony will come out on top but not for a while due to the Wii and 360.

How will they do this? How do you expect them to overcome their manufacturing costs and poor market share to actually turn a profit?

EDIT:

I doubt it'll do well, at least as well as its predecessor (which is outselling it every week, by the way).

There is no way in hell the PS3 will even come close to stacking up to the PS2. Oh and you know why the PS2 would still be selling well? I believe it now retails for 125$ or so. That's a 475$ difference. The PS3 costs nearly 5x as much as the PS2.

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

Why would I forgive Sony?

They've shown no signs of caring about their consumers whatsoever.

Totally not true.

It is pretty obvious that you are a fanboy Squeek.

[Squeek]

Re: PS3 is dead (IMO)

I've managed to find one site that praises it as the best among the rest.

One.

Isn't the entire purpose of this thread to prove that the PS3 isn't going to be top-dog? It probably won't DIE, but I doubt it'll do well, at least as well as its predecessor (which is outselling it every week, by the way).

NOW I'm off to work.
