Even with games compressed, game developers still, at times, have trouble fitting it all on one disc, thus the multi disc games. Although I do see your point, they do have a lot more space than they need, but who's to say that they don't end up finding a useful way of taking up that space. I mean, it might not be tommorow, but it's yet another possibility that none of the other consoles can claim possible. You know? What I'm doing is just pointing out the potential of the PS3, I'm not downing the other consoles, or formats on that note, just saying I think that Sony will put their hardware to good use. I mean they haven't done too bad in that region for quite a while.

still it would take long time to fill 55GB, remember how long were final fantasy XII and twilight princess in development? how much time do developers need to fill 55GB?

PS3 is picking up speed .. especially after E3
$500 for 60 gig and $600 for 80 gig .. for what the ps3 is, its a great price
personally i like their games, the top for me is MGS4 .. the only thing that Wii has that i have a bit interest in is Super Smash Brothers Brawl .. which i can just play at a friends house so w/e

Are you suggesting that developers, prior to E3, had completely given up on the PS3?

Sony has some of the best 3rd party support out of any of the consoles.

You, my friend, are absurd.

Face it, Sony's strength has been dwindling since the plague of failing PS2s. Their decision to go with Blu-ray for "future-proofing", saying it will last at least two extra generations, is an absurd musing. With what the Wii has done as far as taking chances and shattering the stereotypical view of gaming has proven that the only direction now is up. What if Sony has to drop their future-proofing plans and redesign or redevelop just to keep up with the industry? Look to Sega for example.

Blu-ray is maybe a good decision one or two generations from now, but like HD and DVD was five and ten years ago, it's way too much money to have any value right now. It's throwing away money right now.

Do you not understand how exclusive titles work? It doesn't really have much to do with the quality of the console; it has to do with how much money and what contractual obligations 3rd party developers are involved in with each gaming company. The main reason Sony is losing exclusives is because they are choosing so. They realize that X-box and Wii have the finanical ability to compete for competitive contracts with 3rd party developers, and also realize that people will buy the console with or without exclusives. The mainstream gaming population will buy the PS3 regardless of how many exclusives they have, so why would Sony want to spend the extra millions and millions of dollars it costs to obtain exclusive rights when they could save a lot of money and still pull in a relatively similat profit?

I think that's actually pretty wrong. It's in the hands of the developers to make as much money as possible, and while Sony might pay them handsomly for exclusive rights, they would make more by going to other systems as well. It's not because Sony is being generous or because Sony realizes that the other systems are going to be viable regardless, it's because third party publishers are realizing that the most profit no longer rests on the shoulders of one console, rather, of a whole bunch at once.

That is true, it seems that game developers are becoming less and less loyal to one console, I mean you have a few that stick to a single console like Bungie(Halo 3), or Konami( MGS4), but the majority of developers are just getting too greedy in my opinion.

well IS BUSSINESS it's the truth people do games to earn money and they do good games so gamers like them. they want to expand their products because 2 of the 3 next gen consoles are doing well, and some want to support the ps3 so put it in a higher place

well the main reason of why a console needs exclusives is that you can buy those games from a more cheap console and i think sony needs to change their strategy anyway because is not working

i don't give a damn thing about what the reviews say, the game may be short but heavenly sword is great, for me it is one of "the kind of game that would make you buy a ps3" although i'm not interested in warhawk or tekken, there is a very good lineup for the ps3, it really changed my mind
