I have been reading a lot of news lately and it looks as if the PS3 is finally getting good publicity. With the new price drop and over 30% of 360s failing it finally seems that all the negativity from the media is gonna stop. Also Sony has a ton of amazing execlusives around the corner like heavenly sword, lair, warhawk, etc it seems that Sony is gaining ground. Also it looks like the PSN will have a good amount of content this week for E3 and then we get Home as well later. I believe we will be getting the Heavenly Sword and Lair demo this week along with a bunch of videos. Also i have a feeling that Haze will be a PS3 exclusive and we will get a rumble controller as well. I dont know about you guys but this is an exciting time to be a PS3 owner, and dont forget that theKillzone 2 show is Tuesday and that could be unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

I always knew Sony had it right. I mean they toppled Nintendo in it's prime days. Does that make me think they care about the competition?

Sony is taking drastic measures to try and ensure that they make a profit on the PS3.....someday. Pretty early to be deviating from the original business plan I think. I can't believe that anyone would take Sony's moves lately as good. They discontinued versions of the PS3 already, and are taking a price drop. Waaaay too early to be doing these types of things. Sony had a bad business plan and now they're in panic mode.

Yea, the PS3 is getting better n better news. I bet after E3 all those xbox360 and wii fanboys will be shocked. :) Sony is not stupid u know? Dun u guys think that Sony has no plans to fight Microsoft and Nintendo? They just dominate the console business for 10 over years! They have the experience which Microsoft do not has. And they owned Nintendo when they r having a good time, it's time to turn the tables.

Eh, people forget about the fact that even back in 2001, $300 was still FEASIBLE for a DVD player/game console. $500 for a Blu-Ray player/game console is a bit much, hell, $400 for a movie player of any kind is still too much.

Also, and I think more than a few of you will agree with me on this one, the strengths of the PS1 and PS2 were in its Japanese support. If you wanted good, quirky, epic, fun, short, long, anything Japanese, you bought Playstation...well...here's my issue, the heavy hitters of the PS3:

-Uncharted

-Warhawk

-Lair

-Heavenly Sword

-MGS4

-FF13

-Haze (If you so decide to call it a heavy hitter)

-Ratchet

-Gran Turismo

-Jak

I count 1 Japanese game. 1. Is that the Sony I came to know and love? No. I think alot of people like me are on the fence waiting for that Japanese experience, sadly the Wii is all the rage over there now and most of the Japanese games will go there...hell, even the 360 has some AMAZING Japanese games coming for it. This gen just feels, different, for Sony.

Um...you are totally wrong. First Sony is know MAKING profit on the PS3, at least according to Bloomberg. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aYWkGuoeuipo&refer=home I guess you can argue with me, because I am sure you are smarter regarding business topics then Bloomberg. You are probably an editor of like Forbes or Business Weekly...hahaha

Secondly Sony is doing the right thing and now passing the savings on to their loyal customers.

Thirdly another next generation system is still not profitable and had a $1billion dollar setback this week. Somebody is starting to look like they are in trouble.

as reported by Bloomberg today, Sony has been making money off the console for the past couple of months, ever since they fixed the problems with the blu-ray diodes.

PS3 sucks. Not worth the money no good games. The the home idea is a copy off of Nintendo CovertShadows

you obviously haven't seen either one.

if you even try to compare Home vs. Nintendo's Mii stuff, you are obviously showing your fanboy side.

Uh, Metal Gear Solid has never been a HUGE seller in Japan like FF13 (the 1 game I was talking about). Heavenly Sword an East Culture game? Looks like a greek woman to me...Goddess of War if you will. I don't get you, maybe I could if you took some time to type out the message, English not being your first language, if you are going to try and argue with someone who speaks in English on an English speaking site, then please just take a few more seconds and do it to the best of your ability.

just browsing through random topics *bored*. this topic catches my attention the most, i mean how can this be positive news for the ps3, how is this the rise of the ps3? Just because, there was a price drop doesn't mean the system will rise. Maybe some people will purchase it due to the price drop but only because, they were considering it before and may or may not be ps3 loyalists. In this current game generation you only need 2 systems, an Xbox 360 and a Wii or a Playstation 3 and a Wii. This price drop is not enough for someone to want to own a Xbox 360, Wii, and a Playstation 3. Sure, the playstation 3 is avast system but this generation doesn't look successful for it. They lost the head of sony in japan due to differences, and the father of final fantasy doesn't like the playstation 3 company, so he branched off and made Mistwalker under 360. Many publishers also find it difficult to create games for this console due to its complexity. The games that are made are probably gonna be great, but is the price worth it for the few games it will have that seem notable? Sony has always been known for their japanese publishing games but as of now things aren't looking so great for them when you can get some of these games on the 360. Sure. they might have Lair, Warhawk, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Heavenly Sword, Kill Zone 2, Home, and other games but they also had games that weresuppose to be or were onceexclusive such as: Devil May Cry, Assassins Creed, Grand Theft Auto, and other great games. Remember the year San Andreas and Halo 2 came out? That was when the Grand Theft Auto franchise was exclusive and it was rivaling the Microsofts Halo franchise but now it'll be something like the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV rivaling the 360's version and Halo 3. I only hope the ps3 will prosper in this generation and truly rise back to the top where it belongs instead of being under Xbox 360 which seems to be popular for only their First Person Shooters (it's like the American game console). If Playstation 3 is like the former Playstation 2 I knew then it will rise eventually not now but soon and hopefully I'll see a Kingdom Hearts 3 release :) and some other nostalgic titles. Maybe even a (Chrono Trigger 3 for the Ps3). (offtopic)Oh yeah, don't expect the Playstation 3 to rise from E3 either from what I've read and heard E3 is gonna suck.^THE END^

The wii is out selling the PS3 in Japan. That should tell you something. I am not a wii fanboy i have one but i don't even look at it CovertShadows

and how expensive is the Wii? thank you, now move along. If I could find a Wii, I would go buy one today because they are so cheap. Does that mean it's better than the PS3?

Heres the difference guys, (I am a PS3 owner, and its my only platform) things are different this time around. Last time they buried the Dreamcast, but that system sucked and did not have a strong fan base. Nintendo is the other competition, and they continually repeat the same games over and over throught the course of every couple of years. So if you wanted something with new games and innovative ideas, plus the edition of a DVD, you went with Sony.

This time, the competition does not suck, and there is a stronger fan base. Nintendo is being innovative for once, and Sony's new thing is Blue-Ray, which is way expensive. This is good however, because last time Sony could relax after a while, and create half-a$$ed games. This time there is no breathing room, you can only come out with so many crappy games before people turn to the competition to see whats going on over there. Which is fantastic for us PS3 owners, because the developers know they need to be on the ball.

My only worry for this nex-gen is the third-party exclusives. If third-party games (like Assassins Creed) come out on more than 1 system. How much do they need to dumb-it up so that people on different system than the PS3 can get the same experience, and lately this has been especially worrying because of all the titles lost. I know it's just a matter of time, and Im patient, but seriously, we could have had a lot more games RIGHT NOW, if Sony had been a bit more on the ball with they're third party friends. I'll bet they know there mistake though, and will learn from it. (Are learning from it right now)
