To say it's got bad games in the future is a rather.... ...bold statement. Bad multiplats too. Once PSN gets going with matchmaking PS3 multiplats might become the better ones.

Here's one reason why you should get of of here:

1. You're a fanboy who bashes the PS3.

1. True, but lowering in price.

2. FALSE. FALSE FALSE FALSE.

3. FALSE. Some games may have been, but that won't hold true in the future.

4. WTF? What does that matter. It's not too big. I'd rather have it than the 360, all the wires, and the infamous powerbrick.

5. You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? They have the same amount of RAM, but the 360's can be divied up as the developers want it (although some RAm can be put to the video RAM of the PS3). And, the PS3's RAM is faster, and sometimes Faster RAM is better than unified RAM.

Wow....Ferrari_101, I think I remember her.... Anyways, no, bad list, expensive is your only good point, and games RIGHT NOW aren't that great, but the future is having good games, and RAM isn't much of a problem.

1. too expensive, For who? The poor in the world? Anyway yea its expensive up front but you get alot more then what is given with a 360 and HEY its reliable and won't freeze. 2nd Sony knows how to play system wars, and will properly drop the price as time goes on and the PS2 market will hop aboard PS3 market. PS3 is a multimedia machine not just a game machine. Oh and if you wanted to match the PS3 in add on's onto the 360 the 360 would cost what 800+ dollars AND YOU pay $50 bucks a year. So too expensive is a point but it won't last. Its a marketing term called skimming. You set the high price for the hardcore for the people that have to have it. Sales drop, lower the price, that group of people will buy it that said well 600 is a bit much but 499 i'll take it. Then once that sales group drop. Sony will skim the price down again and again till finally it hits $200 where its pretty much purchased by any parent for any kid.

2. bad games right now and in the futureResistance is still a blast online, and thats what its supposed to be right long time playing experience? I played Socom 2 till Socom 3 game. Motorstorm is alot of fun just shallow gameplay. But online again is long lasting and in your face. Elderscrolls is time consuming and cool. As for games coming, I have LAIR on preorder, will ahve Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Socom Confrontation, Uncharted, Rachet and Clank, Killzone 2, MGS4, FF13 and many many others, Oh and the better versions of Haze, UT3. So I'll have to desagree with you.

3. bad multiplats Not all of them have been, and some multi's are better on PS3 like Elder scrolls. Yea all the talk about hard to program for, but sounds like the dev's need some schooling. I mean Resistance was rushed and its flawless.

4. too big Hard drive? Tower its self? WHO GIVES a Shet. At least it won't over heat or get loud or shut off in mid game.

5. not much ram Same as 360's, so by saying not much ram for PS3, you just said their isn't enough ram on 360. And the ram on the PS3 is 12x faster. So your making the 360 look bad.

c'mon ppl these are the BEST reasons yet.....

what the .... , from what i see the 2008 will be the year of the ps3. mark my words

not only some great exclusive will come, but the price will drop, the developers will understand the ps3 more , take advantage of the blu ray and the cell

i mean this year is for the 360 thanks to bioshock, halo 3 and mass effect but the ps3 is very close too

mark my words the 2008 is the ps3 year, im 99% sure

OK my reason for the 360 being better than the ps3 is that Most games for the Ps3 are coming out for 360. Virtal fighter is coming out for 360 and so is RE5. I mean both have their ups and downs. Right now 360 is winning. Possibly when Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out PS3 will have its moments. Right now though, 360 is winning in my opinion.

Ill counter you with Five reasons why it WONT fail in the long term..

1. Blu-Ray: Its the future of Movies, will become the dominate format.

2. Untapped power: We havent seen even a glimps of what the PS3 is capable of doing, and better hardware means better looking games.

3. Futurproof: With all the cutting edge hardware, and the fact that it has blu-ray, this console is futurproof for at least 5 years.

4. PS Franchises: PS2 had the most robust and awesome franchises last gen, and theyll have it this gen too. (not only Franchises from last gen, but exciting new ones.

5. It will very soon become just as affordable as the 360. (Weve seen steps towards this already.)

And as a sixth note: No one cares about your biased opinon.

I think the future line-up looks pretty good and who cares about the size of a console? As long as it is not unreasonably large.

Size could matter. If its too big then it'll be a pain to find a place to put it. That is why I like the Wii. I also favor the 360. PS3 is too much money for me though. I'm happy with the PS2.

Japan didn't like the original Xbox mainly because of its size. Also the controller was reasonably large.

Mostcomments in system wars are opinionated. Its a matter of how much money you have, what type of system you like, and what system you dislike. Even this is could be considered an opinion.

I'm pretty sure this post is a joke...

I can't imagine someone actually in essence saying, "the ps3 will fail long term...why? just cuz it's bad..." being serious.

It's funny how defensive people get when there's no argument presented too.

Its a matter of trying to win the fight or make other feel bad. Or they are just trying to help out the system they like.

1. too expensive - Future price drops will solve that

2. bad games right now and in the future- ROFL, PS3 has a solid 2007 line up and the best 2008 console line up

3. bad multiplats- ?????, If PS3 has bad MULTIPLATS then every other console has those bad games too.

4. too big- So was the origional XBOX, and in the long run its going to be redesigned like the PS2

5. not much ram- PS3 256+256= 512, 360 512 shared between gpu and cpu, sounds the same to me

c'mon ppl these are the BEST reasons yet.....

1. too expensive

-> in 4 years PS3 would be as low as $199 ....

2. bad games right now and in the future
-> Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Lair, FFXIII, FF vs. XIII - come on ...

3. bad multiplats
-> Madden 08, only framerate different, Oblivion better on PS3 ...

4. too big
-> umm its preety much the same size as 360 ... and yea who cares it looks awsome

5. not much ram
-> because ofcourse the fact it has more ram than the Wii and the exact same amount as 360 means the others have plenty but PS3 will fail ...

c'mon ppl these are the BEST reasons yet.....

--> come back when played a Playstation console ...

This guy is biased from the get-go. I mean Bad games? PS3 has some promising games. Like FF13,FF versus 13,White Knight Story,LBP,and more. unless he states some actual facts bought how the PS3 is going to fail. Well he is entitled to a opinion.

I think another reason why the PS3 will fail in the long term is because of this "just wait" excuse most cows use. I believe the more people will wait to get the PS3, the more it will fall behind sales, the more people will lose interest, and it would be too little to late at the end of the PS3's life. Sorry so sad.

maybe the PS3 won't end up #1 in the long term

but the 360 only has one aspect possible of making it fail in the long term
- the DVD player, it limits the developpers

the 360 doesn't even need 5 reasons to show how bad it is

5 reasons why it wont:

1. Branding

2. Games coming in the future

3. Price drop

4. exclusives

5. brand loyalists.

if you think about it, it is expensive compared to the 360,and failed to deliver many good games for for a while. it isnt extremely big, it has a decent amount of ram.its an ok system but it aint gonna be #1 in the long run

the ps3 has 256mb of RAM for BOTH the gpu and cpu. the 360 has ram that is 512mb but it can go either way. more ram can go towards one side than the other but rarley is so basically they are the same. im pretty sure you don't even know what ram is you just know that the 360 has 512mb

if you think about it, it is expensive compared to the 360,and failed to deliver many good games for for a while. it isnt extremely big, it has a decent amount of ram.its an ok system but it aint gonna be #1 in the long run

1. too expensive (I give you this because of the 3 systems its true, but IMO its worth it)

2. bad games right now and in the future (2 things, 1 thats called opinion and 2 how do know whats coming in the future and how do you know they sucks have you played them?....no, didnt think so)

3. bad multiplats (agian this is opinion not fact)

4. too big(omg now its really gonna fail:roll: )

5. not much ram( howmuch do you want:P...Im not gonna say anything because I dont know much about it but from the looks of it neither do you)

c'mon ppl these are the BEST reasons yet.....(hahahahaha, whatever helps you sleep at night kid)
