Hasn't Sony always started out sluggish, but found it's pace down the road?

I am not saying Sony will win/lose the console race, but every time a Play Station console is released it starts out poorly. Then things change and get better for Sony. Which I think will happen with the PS3.

Yes it does and the PS3 is just now begining to start selling in larger numbers. Sony has been in this business far to long to not know what there doing.

not really. the original Playstation started out strong outselling Saturn by alot despite being released a few months later. PS2's launch was "sluggish" in terms of games during the first year, but was selling very well because of the DVD movie playback feature. PS3 is starting to sell alot now but still being outsold by the 360.

In 2008 Sony gets DMC4, MGS4, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, (I believe) God of War 3, FFXIII(+ VS), Home, and that's just hyped games.

In 2008, 360 gets DMC4, and Ninja Gaiden 2...

I love consoles that sell more then just shooters (as much as I love them), so yes, you all do know what console I love. But gratz to MS. In 2008 their hyped titles are Action games. Maybe now I'll pick one up.

Ignorance is bliss.

There are quite a few non-shooters coming out for the 360 next year.

Go do some research buddy.

Yea PS2 in most mags. I may be able to find some and get them online even. Yea their were articles in which the PS2 was in basic dead, next to the Dreamcast. Many even called the PS1 a fluke, after it crawled up on the Saturn. Neither system had a good start. Both were doomed to fail, by what most annalists and gaming experts said. But in the end they owned as usuall. But most should know by now, analysts are ignorant, they go by currant numbers like anyone else. And they study so much stuff, they have no clue what a controller even does. They just know numbers. They dont know what a GT 5 means latter. Remember after a sad Gamecube Gen. Ninetendo was dead only a year ago. Or at leasts thats what alot of US articles said.

I'd love to tell that to my college professors when doing research papers...lol

Anyway. Lost odyssey is one game that comes to mind coming in feb...can't wait for that.

And I'm surprised you didn't liste Hei$t for the ps3 and 360 along with GTA. Can't wait for those. Fallout 3 for both consoles also is probably going to be great.

Then there is Postal III...if you loved the controversy surrounding 1 and 2...won't be able to wait what is include in this installment.

Next year is going to be a great year for all three consoles...no need to show favortism to either...even if sony comes in last place this generation...nothing is going to happen. there WILL be a ps4. I'll bet money on that. And everything sony, microsoft, ninty learn from this gen...they will apply to next gen.

I don't think its good to close yourself up on other viewpoints just because you enjoy your side of the fence...at least that's my opinion.

Anyway. Sorry for derailing this topic.

I personally think 2008 will see a jump in ps3 sales. We may even seen sony surpass the wii a couple of more times.


I remember getting my ps2 when it first came out....I hated replaying fighting games x.x

He had a point, I was being a little fanboyish for a minute, lol. Glad to see the 360 is getting other games then just shooters, since I've played the genra to death... x_X;;

PS3 will be fine. Especially after Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Tekken 6, Little Big Planet, and Final Fantasy XIII come out. That is the high profile exclusive lineup for 2008.

I find the PS3 lineup of games to be far more interesting than the 360 lineup. I have 10 PS3 games: Uncharted, Guitar Hero 3 (which I should've gotten on 360), Ratchet and Clank Future, Call of Duty 4, Warhawk, Resistance, Fight Night, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, and Oblivion.

I just bought a 360 and am struggling to figure out which game to get for it. My friend loaned me Halo 3...it's not bad...not 9.5 quality either...especially compared to Call of Duty 4...Can't figure out whether I should get The Orange Box, BioShock, or Mass Effect yet...

Like I said before PS3 will be fine. I will continue to support it because it's a kick ass system.

Well Sony will pass Micro, And not because their doing well, Micro is just doing that bad as of late. But to catch Nintendo. Can that little thing and its gimmick work for 7 years? I say if the GameBoy can the Wii can. So yes Nintendo will win. Sony Second for the first time. And Again Micro in last, they just get killed outside the US. And that fall is starting to happen again for them. Also you have to think of it this way. Its almost like a race to 100 Mill. And whoever gets their first wins. So dont think so much 7 years. More so 10 mill is a long ways from 100 mill. So theirs a long road to go.

Is FF13 really coming out next year? ...for the US and Europe mind you.

That is one of the main reasons I have a ps3 in my living room...well that and MGS4.

I would recommend you buy Mass Effect...it's THE RPG of 2007(on consoles) in my opinion. Bioshock is fun...but you get more bang for your buck for the Orange Box(it is also coming out for the ps3 if you prefer it on that console....and you enjoy free online services).

You should also get some old games from a couple of years ago...dead rising and saint's row is 30 bucks now...worth it more then paying 60 bucks!

I don't know....Wii and Ps3 is debatable...I really can't tell who will win this gen...as much as the 360 is unbelieably better then the xbox1....I don't see it beating the ps3 in 2008/2009...the years I think sony will strike back.

I think wii may win hardware wise....but software wise...

Sony has quality titles which all branch off in different genres. I have been very interested in The Eye of Judgement and Folklore as of late. Which I am planning to buy both for Christmas also Uncharted (I am a big fan of adventure games).

With all due respect, the Nintendo Wii kind of sucks in my opinion.

Cooking Mama? Wario Ware? What the hell is up with these 5 second mini-game compilations that Nintendo continues to release? I can't believe people actually buy this mindless crap...I have no idea how my little cousin just eat this stuff up...It just boggles my mind.

Give me Metal Gear Solid ANY DAY...I'm working on getting my little cousin into it, but he's still too young to fully appreciate something like Metal Gear Solid (he's 10 years old)...I thought buying him Rock Band for his 360 would be a start towards mature gaming.

Maybe it's just me, but the PS3 is definitely the HARDCORE system for this generation. Xbox 360 is for more "social" gaming. And you already know my opinion on the Nintendo Wii...

Yes, a year down the line Metal Gear Solid 4 as well as the Final Fantasy games for the PS3 will boost sales for the PS3.

Well their gonna need that one surge to even the race. And that may come. But even after than, I don't think the hardcore system can compete with the little user friendly system. And many of you are right. Games like Gran Tursimo 5 can sells 20 mill systems by itself easily. And thats how they do good, is by selling the world. And when MGS4, on a 60 latter or not. Its going to be MGS4 wold for the PS3. Same with FF, FF could even go 60 and it wond not sell the world, like FF for the PS3 will. But the world also likes its little Wii alot. And can you imagin if they ever use the cell latter on what happens lol. So they'll do good, but wont pass the wii.

Wii is faceing the same problem that PS3 had been for a while, and it's lack of game development. Wii has so many possiblilities, and no one is working with it. In the end it's not "What system has better graphics" or anything, it's about what system has a larger list of games that the player will like, which is a small part of the reason 360 is doing so well. A one year head start gave MS Gears of War, which was a system seller.

The only thing I disagree is that sony and microsoft are both equal...both pretty much have a balance on the types of games you can buy for it.

The wii is the ultimate social/party game system.

the ps3 and 360 are geared towards casual and hardcore gamers.

My 8 year brother enjoys Mass Effect, halo 3, Motorstorm, Oblivion, etc more then anything on the wii...

I usually only play my wii when my little brothers, family, and/or girlfriend all want to play together...lol

As long as Sony delivers what they are promising on Home then the PS3 will have its own service system. Which will increase the user base on the PS3 network.

Cooking Mama? Wario Ware? What the hell is up with these 5 second mini-game compilations that Nintendo continues to release? I can't believe people actually buy this mindless crap...I have no idea how my little cousin just eat this stuff up...It just boggles my mind.

Give me Metal Gear Solid ANY DAY...I'm working on getting my little cousin into it, but he's still too young to fully appreciate something like Metal Gear Solid (he's 10 years old)...I thought buying him Rock Band for his 360 would be a start towards mature gaming.

Maybe it's just me, but the PS3 is definitely the HARDCORE system for this generation. Xbox 360 is for more "social" gaming. And you already know my opinion on the Nintendo Wii...

Yea...and the software sells for the wii...basically suck.

Everyone is buy the wii with the bundled wii sports, maybe mario party and mario galaxies...but that's about it.

The 360 I believe at this time has the highest software attach rate(please corrent me if I'm wrong.) And I can believe that the ps3 will have the higher amount next year.

Wii is faceing the same problem that PS3 had been for a while, and it's lack of game development. Wii has so many possiblilities, and no one is working with it. In the end it's not "What system has better graphics" or anything, it's about what system has a larger list of games that the player will like, which is a small part of the reason 360 is doing so well. A one year head start gave MS Gears of War, which was a system seller.

[QUOTE="vecha"][QUOTE="truenextgen"]Well Sony will pass Micro, And not because their doing well, Micro is just doing that bad as of late. But to catch Nintendo. Can that little thing and its gimmick work for 7 years? I say if the GameBoy can the Wii can. So yes Nintendo will win. Sony Second for the first time. And Again Micro in last, they just get killed outside the US. And that fall is starting to happen again for them.shadowfox55



I don't know....Wii and Ps3 is debatable...I really can't tell who will win this gen...as much as the 360 is unbelieably better then the xbox1....I don't see it beating the ps3 in 2008/2009...the years I think sony will strike back.

I think wii may win hardware wise....but software wise...

Well their gonna need that one surge to even the race. And that may come. But even after than, I don't think the hardcore system can compete with the little user friendly system. And many of you are right. Games like Gran Tursimo 5 can sells 20 mill systems by itself easily. And thats how they do good, is by selling the world. And when MGS4, on a 60 latter or not. Its going to be MGS4 wold for the PS3. Same with FF, FF could even go 60 and it wond not sell the world, like FF for the PS3 will. But the world also likes its little Wii alot. And can you imagin if they ever use the cell latter on what happens lol. So they'll do good, but wont pass the wii.

As long as Sony delivers what they are promising on Home then the PS3 will have its own service system. Which will increase the user base on the PS3 network.



I'm just hoping Home doesn't turn into second life x.x

The developers need to let go of Nintendos past mistakes (the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube) which sales provide. E.A. just annouce they notice the sales of the Wii and are starting to accomdoate games for the system once they figure the controls.

Give me the defintion of"hardcore." I do not want to get this thread lock, but the all the consoles have genres that appeases to all who enjoy a certain system.

Not games, but system. The Cell is one hardcore piece of game processing. And the planet knows if they ever get people ejected "edit lol" educated enough behind it. Graphics's wise the PS3 will fly past all 3 like nothing. Ask any employee at IBM about what games the public see's now, and what they know it can do. They'll laugh at even Cod4. So Sony has that as the true hardcore system latter on threw this gen. But I still think the compacted and comfortable Wii holds on this time.

Because people easily forget what happened in the past...compared to what is happening now.

Like for instance...I started beating the crap out of my puppy..then tommrow I treat it like an angel...the puppy will forget what happened yesterday...or ignore it.


Yes. The gaming population is like a puppy

Considering avatars are restricted to HOME issued customizations and private media is only displayed in personal "homes" I don't think that will be an issue.

I'm suprised so, lol.

But seriously, I'd hope Sony wouldn't let Home turn into a Third Life.

With the multi-media aspects of the PS3 that is why I created this topic. A person can have a gaming console, play moives, stream videos, voice chat, music, internet bowser all in their living rooms will push sells. Although, the price for it is hefty.

Oh to answer your question I think their are some who do like seeing flying things. I guess that the reason why they play it.

But can't you go into someone's personal home and get a "surprise".



Anyway..I'm going off subject again.

Considering avatars are restricted to HOME issued customizations and private media is only displayed in personal "homes" I don't think that will be an issue.

homes not a game, you wont buy it.

yes...but I will download it...just hoping it's good.

I think Home can be used as an advatage just as much as an exclusive game.
