Fanboys: But the Ps3 fails, it only sold 11,000 consoles in Japan!


Logic: This is slowest season for video game system purchases, that can be said for all the systems.

-

Fanboys: Ps3 has lost the console war, CNN says so.

 

Logic: And so do most of the other media outlets, true, however the media is never a good indicator on the winner or loser.

-

Fanboys: Ps3 has no (good) games!

Logic: Well Resistance is great, personally enjoy it. Motorstorm is a blast along with the AAA multiplatform Oblivion, not to mention Ninja Gaiden Sigma is arriving. And it's a good remake, playing the demo so far in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the other games on other systems are great as well. This is a nice amount of games in just a short period of time.

-

Fanboys: Ken fled before the ship sunk! PS3 is titantic.

 

Logic: As you know Ken Kutaragi was not the best PR (in fact, I personally don't think any sane gamer would take him seriously), he did some amazing things for Sony, and I actually do feel he made a good contribution on the PS3. As far as he goes though, he needed to be shuffled in, or pulled out. Since the Ps3 is out, there needs to be someone close to the software side, aka Kaz H. Hope to see what he can do for the future, but we all know that he needed to be pulled out after his mistakes, one instance regarding spending overbudget.

-

Fanboys: But Ps3 is a flop, no one's buying it, and its on shelves anywhere, its $600 now too, no 20 gb, and a rumored 80gb? Please....

 

Logic:  As far as the first six months go, even though there is still a huge chunk of stock left, it is selling pretty well. As far as consumer interest goes, there seems to be a lot of people seemingly curious about the PS3, and its "mysteriousness." It is a an expensive machine, and from my personal experience, I also enjoy it the most of all. So far, for the last six months its been out, it's been a solid system, little reports of any (if at all) breaking down or having technical issues. The games are slowly beginning to build out. If you actually take the time to try out the system, play it with a clear mind, play it for about a couple minutes and see what you think.

          I managed to do that for all the systems before I decided, and I do enjoy my two consoles. Just wait for a price drop in the near future, bite the bullet and buy it premium, or just not buy it. You have a choice, enjoy your purchases. Remember, these companies fight for your money, if not does not appeal, well you don't have to buy it. Make sure to keep in mind that these companies, nintendo, ms, and sony, are not to be criticized if their machine does not appeal to you. All in all, we have more choice this generation than we ever have.

That's all for this week lemkids, calflings, and sheeples. Have a good weekend. :D

    I like this paragraph the best. Very good points and well thought out. However, you shall be labeled by a cow and tared-and-feathered by many people here, since people can't have *gasp* un-fanboy-ish thoughts!

Here is an arguement you can't refute: The $600 PS3 price tag is alienating a lot of hardcore and casual gamers.

$600

 

how can you possibly argue against that fact? You cant. Ps3 is not worth the price its makers are asking. This system is merely a trojan horse in the new format wars, not a gaming machine.

    And I could say the Red Ring of Death on the 360 alienates gamers, and Nintendo's kiddy image does the same. See the problem?

    According to you the price is not worth it. To some, it is, and to others it is a bargain.

To be honest, when I decided to buy one that day I got lucky. It was in walmart, an ebayer brought one back (this was in feb), and it was only $550 for the 60Gb, a hella deal, and yes it was a launch (had talledega nights). The PS3 isn't selling that well since then, but hey, I didn't buy the console for that. As long as get to play the series' I like, no biggie.

its not failing, i admit wii is beating it in sales right now, and not by a small margin. the ps3 has sold pretty well though for a $600 system, with few games out. if it hasnt done better in a year from now then i guess u can say its a failure.

Really? I thought it was pretty well thought out.

 

Why are Wii and DS sales so High?

 

 

 

Wii has been overhyped. And DS is gamer friendly.

how can you possibly argue against that fact? You cant. Ps3 is not worth the price its makers are asking. This system is merely a trojan horse in the new format wars, not a gaming machine.

thedarkomen

According to you the price is not worth it. To some, it is, and to others it is a bargain.

key word being "some" people. Sony needs to lower the price so "some" turns into "most"

I was able to bite the bullet, and I'm dirt poor college student. So take from that what you can.

You must have really wanted one. Most people are opting for the cheaper systems with better games.

To be honest, when I decided to buy one that day I got lucky. It was in walmart, an ebayer brought one back (this was in feb), and it was only $550 for the 60Gb, a hella deal, and yes it was a launch (had talledega nights). The PS3 isn't selling that well since then, but hey, I didn't buy the console for that. As long as get to play the series' I like, no biggie.

Good for you. As long as you feel like you're getting your money's worth then what else is there to say. I'm glad the PS3 is working out for you. (I'm not trying to sound sarcastic)

Because it's cheap and it appeals to casuals more than any other system.  The only people buying 360's and PS3's are more hardcore gamers/ A/V enthusiasts.   Get it sheep?

they're dirt cheap compared to the rest of the competition. anyway tc good job.

Then that's why the PS3 fails, because of its huge price, doesn't change the fact that its failing

Hm... I tend to remember the DS didn't fair so well in the beginning.

Thanks. This doesn't mean I won't get a 360 one day (got lucky on both wii and ps3 so far). I'm just going to wait it out for now and see if MS decides to make a final built package or something with maybe some nice internal fixes for reliability.

Fanboys: But the Ps3 fails, it only sold 11,000 consoles in Japan!

Logic:  As far as the first six months go, even though there is still a huge chunk of stock left, it is selling pretty well. As far as consumer interest goes, there seems to be a lot of people seemingly curious about the PS3, and its "mysteriousness."

thedarkomen

Give me a break. It is not selling well and there is nothing mysterious about a $600 gaming machine with a useless blu-ray player shoved in it.

Here is an arguement you can't refute: The $600 PS3 price tag is alienating a lot of hardcore and casual gamers.

jack_russel

And I could say the Red Ring of Death on the 360 alienates gamers, and Nintendo's kiddy image does the same. See the problem?

if 360 and wii are alienating gamers, the sales sure are proving otherwise.

Not really, the 360 sales are really slowing down, like even less than the PS3.
