Yeah, and this time next year when PS3 is outselling 360 and Wii(which nintendo should not be considered in the nex-gen race anyway), we will be flaming you worse than you already are doing to yourself.

The right question should be: Would u rather buy a $400 Corvette or a $600 corvette?sebbi11

Uhh...I'd take the Corvette that doesn't break down.

Oh yes, that would be the $600 one.

It's selling at almost the same rate as the 360. A little lower, but it's to be expected. Would you rather drive a $400 Corvette, or a $600 Ferrari?ocelotcougar
A $600 Ferrari.

I don't think the PS3 will be outselling the Wii per month by next year. The price will still be high even if it drops, and the Wii will still be 'new'. But in 2010, when HD and HDMI will be common in every house holds and that the 'new' feeling of the Wii will have faded out and PS3 games will be much more impressive than they are today, then I am sure the Wii will get third in sales.

What I find hilarious is that people say the PS3 is not worth it but still cry for a price drop. Why would you buy a crappy product just because it got a price drop? I mean, I for one don't think the "box" is worth much really (but that's just MO) and wouldn't bother getting one even if it got a price drop to $159.00. The few games that interest me aren't worth me buying it when I can simply play them on friend's consoles. So if the PS3 is not worth it and is the same as the "box" then why would anyone care about a price drop anyhow?

Isn't it odd we're the only forum that has to put up with these System Wars-type threads?

Lots of jealousy out there I see. I attribute it to little kids wanting what they can't have.

Most hate agaisnt the PS3 comes only from there, the high price. Adults who work can get what they want (unless they work at mc Donald). Then people just add stupid things like that the PS3 has no exclusives to justify why they don't have the money.

you guys make it sound like that the companies really care about beating each other in terms of sales. They dont. The only they care aobut is money and influence.  When a system  is sold, there is money made. The customer  if satsified will infleunce other to buy the great product. Thus that perosn will buy and spread to his or her friends about how great it is  and then the cycle repeats. But what if they already have a Wii or 360? THen it will be harder to influence them (to buy a 2nd console) but that person is a guareantedd customer in the future genearation or of another product made by the same company. What if the buyer doesnt like it? Then thats a sign for the company to improve the quality of their products  Trust me making money is very importnat than fightning competition  and they are GOOD AT IT!!!!

They care a little about their sales compared to others. Money spent on their stuff is money not spent on the competitors. That's why the PS2 is still here. It makes profit.

It is not a even a issue any more not only did times say that PS3 was a bust but now Bank Of America says that PS3 is a tost.I dont mean to sound like a fanboy or a hater but that is was is going around.Sony does use Bank Of America and they do know what they are talking about,They are the largest bank in the world and when they say somthing is going to happen the odds are it will.It looks to me that Sony will end up go in the way of sega and just falling out.Dont get me rong I dont even own a ps3 put that does not mean that i have never played one.I live in Korea and i have played some flying game at the PX,and it is not that great to be honest,I was at 1080p and the game looked worse that the demo of "Dirt" on my PC at 1024x768,I dont see any reason to buy a PS3 at this point.Blu ray hasent even tacken off yet and most people that play games are kids so they dont have $600 to drop for this thing or $4000 for the HD tv needed to use half the the things that come with the console.I am not hating in the PS3 i am just looking at it for the "real" point of view.People like things that are cheap and good.The PS3 is like a million doller supper car,How many people do you know have them,Not many.I am a PC tect in the US army and i know a lot of people and they are all cheap so are there friends and family.Sony just whant down hill on this one.

blu-ray hasn't taken off?  blu-ray discs sales account for about 70% of the HD disc sales in NA, 65% in Europe, and an astounding 94% in Japan.

and no, most people that play games are not kids.  the average age of the modern day gamer is 24.  studies have shown this.

and Sony and the PS3 is not going anywhere.

That's hype. The PS3 is doing well, the only thing holding them back really is a price cut; if they brough it down $100, it'll probably outsell in a shorter amount of time: an' you know the Wii ain't comin' down too quickly.

Actually, even if the PS3 would be a flop, Sony wouldn't go the way of Sega. Unlike Sega and Nintendo, Sony and MS make a lot of profit in other markets than in video games. X-Box was a hole for MS, they never made any profit from it, but they improved and came back. Sony made a LOT of money with PS1 and PS2, much more than anyone ever did in the console market. PS1 was the first to hit 100 milions sales and PS2 was the only one to beat it.

That doesn't mean PS3 will reach it, but it means that Sony knows they can be successful in that market. If they flop, they will just come back with a improved formula. If anything, losing can only make Sony stronger in the next next gen.

And it isn't true that most gamers are kid. A survey in early 2007 said that the majority of gamers was 16 and over. For X360 and PS3, the age average went over 20. Teens at 16 can work to get themselves a PS3 or a X360.

I just bought my PS3 yesterday without any regrets.  Except the dork BestBuy associate was trying to tell me to get a 360 just  because he has one.

you asked, and you shall receive.

Blu-ray sales percentages for Europe and Japan
Second Article about Europe Blu-ray sales
Average Gamer's Age = 33 years old

so I was a little on the low side of the gamer's age.

now who looks like the complete retard now?

Eclipsed as always comes out on top!! You tha man!! :D I love watching someone come at you and then bam out of no where comes the the KO! Like the other day when someone called you a fanboy...that was hilarious!! I seriously laughed out loud! I love it and the trolls have been so quiet lately I haven't had much to say :D

I think the trolls are learning that they need to start doing research before they try to come into this forum and spread rumors and misinformation.  so they go do research and find out the PS3 isn't as bad as their fanboy minds led them to believe.

[QUOTE="Trek5200"][QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"][QUOTE="elfboy69"][QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"]

[QUOTE="elfboy69"]It is not a even a issue any more not only did times say that PS3 was a bust but now Bank Of America says that PS3 is a tost.I dont mean to sound like a fanboy or a hater but that is was is going around.Sony does use Bank Of America and they do now what they are talking about,They are the largest bank in the world and when they say somthing is going to happen the odds are it will.It looks to me that Sony will end up go in the way of sega and just falling out.Dont get me rong I dont even own a ps3 put that does not mean that i have never played one.I live in Korea and i have played some flying game at the PX,and it is not that great to be honest,I was at 1080p and the game looked worse that the demo of "Dirt" on my PC at 1024x768,I dont see any reason to buy a PS3 at this point.Blu ray hasent even tacken off yet and most people that play games are kids so they dont have $600 to drop for this thing or $4000 for the HD tv needed to use half the the things that come with the console.I am not hating in the PS3 i am just looking at it for the "real" point of view.People like things that are cheap and good.The PS3 is like a million doller supper car,How many people do you know have them,Not many.I am a PC tect in the US army and i know a lot of people and they are all cheap so are there friends and family.Sony just whant down hill on this one.eclipsed4utoo

blu-ray hasn't taken off? blu-ray discs sales account for about 70% of the HD disc sales in NA, 65% in Europe, and an astounding 94% in Japan.

and no, most people that play games are not kids. the average age of the modern day gamer is 24. studies have shown this.

and Sony and the PS3 is not going anywhere.

This wasn't coming out on top to much. Statements were made and they were questioned since there were no backup. If we are averaging over 24 :) we should be able to write with facts that are supported. Very nice to find the facts by Trek and to be right, but not to much to ask for that there is some backup to data.

I know for a fact that 97.5% of postings in here lacks references to facts :) (joke if you didn't get it)

What's with all this crap about the PS3 not selling??? Here is the most recent chart from VGChartz.

http://www.vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS2®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=X360®3=All&align=1

As you can see, with launches aligned the PS3 is pretty much EXACTLY where the PS2 and 360 were at the same time in their life since launch.

Not bad in spite of all the negative press, a $600 price tag(twice the price of PS2 at the time), and the whole "no good games" crap(I guess I'm the only person in the world who knows about Resistance, Motorstorm, Oblivion, etc.)

 

miiiguel

The problem is in the "etc"..., what's the "etc"?

the ect. is Heavenly Sword, Tekken 5, SOCOM, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, FFXIII, MGS4 and so on

fine. Just  don'tbuy it. Millions others will get to enjoy it.

 

I happen to think that MGS3 was far superior to 2, and one of the top 3 experiences on the PS2

Its just fanboys who say it aint selling well. For a system that cost so much, it is doing very well. I think sony should drop the price at e3 to $499 and then bring in the 80gb version to replace the 60gb version and sell it at $579, that way ppl will actually start buying the $499 version so they can start selling more. Yes they will lose alot of money from every ps3 sold, but they will make that money back with software sales.

[QUOTE="sebbi11"]

[QUOTE="ocelotcougar"]It's selling at almost the same rate as the 360. A little lower, but it's to be expected. Would you rather drive a $400 Corvette, or a $600 Ferrari?deadkingdg

The right question should be: Would u rather buy a $400 Corvette or a $600 corvette?

I am one of those guys that waited, one reason, games. And to u who say the PS3 is selling well, if someone would have said before launch that the follow up to Playstation2 would be outsould by Xbox and Nintendo u would have flamed them to ashes, don`t act like all is fine.

Sollution, start making good games, and/or pricedrop.

 

 

Actually, it would be a 400$ bare bone corvette and a 600$ fully equipped. With Wi-Fi, HDMI, 60gb, free online play and Blu-ray, you can't say that they offer the same options.

How about this that Corvette has a high failure rate 30 - 50% and the ferrari has only 1 - 3%.

now obviously, just this year alone, the PS3 has just as many, and maybe a few more exclusives released as compared to the 360.

 

So don't give me crap on all that no games **** The PS3 has many great games.

mmhh, i dont see why MGS3 sucked, when I played it , it was really awesome, surviving in the jungle and all, also a prequel to an awesome series.  thats sad comiming from you, anyhow, the PS3 is not a neo-geo, did the neo-geo ever played movies or music or save photos in the system other than just gaming, I dont think so.  the PS3 has AAA games coming up by the end of the year, a handful of them, not two.

Why do people say that "the PS3 is selling well for a $600 console" like that means sales are good. Thats kind of like saying " That guy is really smart for a retard Its a backhanded complement and should never be used as one of your arguing points. That being said, sales are a little down from what i expected but I do foresee them getting a lot better in the near future. I think that part of their problem is that they are still making the PS2 a viable platform. Why should people go out and spend that kind of cash on a new system when good games are still coming out on the PS2 and they can play them until the price drops on the PS3. As far as exclusives go, Sony isn't stupid. If the loss of exclusives starts to really hurt their sales, they will start paying for exclusivity rights. Things will get better and everybody will be happy with whatever system they buy because there will be great games and great exclusives on all of the systems.

I have a ps3 and xbox360. The box broke down. Ps3 rulez, because the games are great (i have resistance and VF5) and it is much more reliable than the box.

unfortunately the bad publicity will bring it down. same exact story with psp. everyone was all..theres no good games the first year, and then even after a ton of good ones came out people stuck with that argument simply because that became the handheld known for its lack of games.

[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"]its selling good for its price..............xbox360 has sold 9.9 million but like almost every person owned 2 or more xbox360s which means divide 9 million by 2 or 3...cause all of you know that xbox360 is like faulty and many ppl had it replacedplanbfreak4eva

Some people have bought two 360s because one broke, but most people have just sent it back to microsoft to get a refurb unit back. Also once again this article confirms that PS3 fans should not be worried. Also the 360 doesn't have blu-ray which will indeed boost sales and profit for Sony.

i know...i aint really bothered how many consoles been sold...all that matters is that i have one....and who ever aint buying one will regret it

i regret getting a psp......i'd probaly regret the ps3.

It matters because if a system doesn't sell well , then devs may not think that it is worth the resources to put games on the system and then there would be a lack of games on the system which in turn would hurt system sales and so on and so on and so on.
