anyone else feeling kinda stupid?

after reading the gamespot interviews about the ps3 slim and sony, i wonder if people are feeling kind of stupid for doubting sony and thinking they didnt have a good strategy for the ps3 ( i have a ps3 and i still doubted).. but after the current events, and a few moments of reflection on my part, i put 2 and 2 together and see that... sony really meant what they said about ps3 and all thier electronics having a 10 year lifespan.. and they are only a few million behind the xbox, yet only less than half done with the ps3 itself. now it has massive exclusives coming out, a new low price, groundbreaking motion controlls and 5 or 6 years left to live. while on the other hand the xbox is just getting dogged left and right.

its almost like the wise old man sony is proving why it is the wise old man, and your brash xbox who thinks it knows everything is proving why the kids start out the gate strong but dont pace themselves and blow thier 'load' about halfway through the race...

Sony is making people feel stupid because they released an ugly new PS3 with no BC? They really showed all those doubters, didn't they.

MS will just drop their price and bundle in a couple games and things will go on just like they have been.

My view of them hasn't changed, their existing price range wasn't working so they responded to market demand and made a cheaper model with less features. How would that impact your view of them? This isn't some well thought out strategy, their original intended price didn't work so they had to change it.

I'll also tell you what I tell everyone who talks about a 10 year strategy, people who think the PS3 is going to last 10 years didn't pay enough attention to the PS2. The PS2 lasted that long because of its unparalleled 3rd party support, not because of its hardware choices.

excellent move for new ps3 owners

Haters say it's hype, but the fact is that the PS3 did wat it had to do to survive.

And survive it did.

Look at the new games coming out. They look incredible. Look at bluray sales up 500% yoy. Look a Sony challenge Microsoft, MICROSOFT for online gaming supremacy.

Watch MS implode. The OP is right they did have a "bust early" approach to this gen. Rushing the console to market defective and flawed. Dumping money on "downloadable content" and trying to play catchup with games.

Now it's time to say goodbye 360. Your games are looking wack and you need to watch your back. If MS keeps it's focus on this "massive failure" they will continue to get pounded by Apple, Google and Sony combined. For what? For the usless struggle to make the 360 somthing that it has always wanted to be:

A Playstation.

I don't feel stupid at all considering they entered this gen with a holier-then-thou attitude and got shot down. It is their fault they are in last place and finally manning up and giving a quality product is for the best. If anything they should feel stupid for taking this long.

Why do you feel the need to qualify your point with a bet?

I've been telling cows since 2006 that the PS3 would flop and it hasn't let me down yet.

"Just Wait"

Come get me in Aug. 2011 when the PS3 has outsold the 360 by 300k units every month for 2yrs straight and I will acknowledge my lack of forsight. How's that for a bet?

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"]I don't feel stupid, do you?Renzokucant

Almost three years in and they are still in third place? I wouldn't call that a grand plan.

PS3 Slim looks amazing, Im going to trade my Xbox 360 for it.

I don't understand what you are getting at. All they did was drop the price (obviously a price drop was coming) and released a new version of the hardware that is cheaper to produce.

Also, I don't think you understand what a 10 year lifespan is. The PS1 had a 10 year lifespan, and the PS2 will too. It doesn't mean that they will wait 10 years to release a new console.

i dont think the slim really mattered because it isnt any different then the current configurations its just smaller,

100 cheaper , then the current ps3 low end price .

those who have a ps3 may buy one but that will hardly have an effect since wii is 50 cheaper and 360 =100 cheaper especally with this economy

thats creepy as green piss. are you in some sony cult?

nvm dumb question given sig, carry on

I am amazed that Sony came back into the market. If it was Nintendo or Sega releasing the playstation 3 I bet you that they would be filing for bankruptcy right now. Finally the price is decent($300 best blu-ray player) with downloadable content and free online.

Now it is time to roll the games. I am pretty sure some people are still holding back on buying the ps3 due to price. Once God of War , GT5, and the exclusive Final Fantasy I am pretty sure ps3 will surpass xbox in sales. The 360 already reached its climax, its too cheap already and it already released sequels to its biggest system sellers like Halo and Gears.

Problem is if Microsoft hits the market with a new console, Sony will flourish a bit too late this generation.

The PS3 will need to outsell the 360 worldwide by 150,000 units per month for almost 4 and a half years straight just to catch up.

Chances are not that good that the PS3 will ever surpass the 360 IMO.

i really dont feel any different. i do like the new model better though.

I'm sorry that you feel stupid, can't say that I feel the same way. New PS3 Slim is defnitely a bargain, wonder why they removed the slick black finish? Anyways as stated the gap between the PS3 & Xbox 360 is much larger than you think, & this weird master plan you speak of is totallly just in your imagination alone.

How is it xbox goin downhill lol? And xbox 360 will be around for about the same time and has some good exclusives comin out. Also stop saying the xbox breaks all the time when it doesnt. Ive had my xbox since launch and i know no one whos has broken.

The xbox won't go downhill but ps3 is sure to surpass it.

Let us not forget there are 100+ million ps2, where are all those fans? They are waiting for a price drop, they are waiting for more games to have a price drop. Lets not forget GT and God of War are still not out. online play(major seller) is free not to mention people love novelty and they are going after the Blu-ray every if they don't need it.

Outside the US there is a huge loyalty to the playstation brand, people refuse to accept anything else. A lot have no idea what an Xbox and are too afraid to try anything new. Even those who get an Xbox, they make sure to own a playsation too.

I can see ps3 consoles beating 360 easily. But I have to say that the #1 thing that will shatter records of ps3 sales are modchips to run pirated games.

I have faith in Sony's strategybeing better than Microsoft's. Nintendo however, they just got it right this gen, from a commercial point of view.

I never really doubted the PS3, i always new it was a quality piece of hardware, and it had good games, only problem was, with that $600 price point it launched with, it created a stigma for itself that it was too expensive, even after the price dropped.

I cant tell you how many of my friend i talk too, even today who say, "i cant afford a PS3, i dont have 600 dollars.

In the past year or, sony has been turning things around which is good to see.

$300 should of been the launch price. The only reason I feel stupid is paying $500 for the darn thing. Sony doesn't get to chose for the PS3 to last 10 years, the consumer does, and I doubt it will have any support when the next generation comes around.
