#1. GAMES.  Yes, that's right, you heard me.  The PS3 has a nice assortment of games out right NOW, and plenty more on the way.

 

2. Hardware.  Correct!  The PS3 has the best hardware out of all of the current consoles at this time.  A PC is not a console, so, a PC is not a valid argument here.

 

3. Fanbase.  Worldwide, need I say more?  PS2 powa!

 

4. HUGE titles.  MGS, DMC...well...FF, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Killzone (major hype), Heavenly Sword (hyped), God of War 3 (major hype), Shadow of the Colossus 2 (major hype),  Lair (hyped), Warhawk (hyped), Tekken 6 (hyped), and all of the surprises...

 

5. THE original, free, 3D online universe! PlayStation 3's Home is smashing the WiiWorld.

 

6. SIXAXIS + Rumble FTW!

 

7. MS had to come up with a new console close to the PS3!  You know, the "elite" unless it's some April Fools joke.

 

8. Blu-Ray.  Last time I checked, Blu-Ray was the most popular next-gen media format.  The PS3 comes with one included.  No need to buy a CLUNKY, $129 + tax add-on. 

 

9. Sony is serious.  They're not gimmicky (Hint, hint, Nintendo).  The PS3 is next-gen (or current-gen), not fake-gen, or lame-gen, or WATERED-DOWN-GEN!

 

10. Why the big let down?  The HYPE machine was ravenous when the PS3 was being showcased back in the day.  This shows that the PS3 has a LOT of untapped potential that probably will take years to get into.  Expect better and better products and services from your PS3!

You have 10 reasons why it's won. I have 599 reasons why it won't. Guess whose reasons have been more important? *Looks at NPD data...*

half your points can be grouped together, Such as points 1 and 4. And that is personal opinion aswell. Fanbase? A lot of those 'fans; bought AU$200 ps2's not AU$1000 ps2's Point 9 is... what? point 10 again.... Also i dont understand point 5? At the moment ps3 is not going to well, it might win the console war maybe, however will it be a win for sony? They say they soild 25 million dollars worth of stock... yet how much loss for sony is that? 5 million dollars lost? Its hard to pull which would win. Nintendo - Appeals to younger crowd, Parents, Casual Consumers as well as tapping the hardcore people who arnt too scared to say yeah i want a wii. Xbox - Has market casual appeal, versions are resonably priced, taps the hardcore market with the premium and elite versions. ps3 - has hardcore dedicated market share.... which is minority. basically Nintendo = the masses Xbox = bit of both ps3 = dedicated exclusives. basically i will be interested in the ps3 only when the price drops, and a lot of people are like me. Cause we like to game, but our lives and wallets do not revolve around games. Cut the price tag in half... and you will have me interested. If the xbox drops to 400 in aus for the premium then i will be tempted, in which case i wouldnt bother with a ps3

It's not, why? Because by the time these "games" come out the PS3 will still be $600 and the Xbox360 will be $300. Which console do you think will casuals buy to play GTA IV and Madden 08?? The real question is will the PS3 pickup enough steam to surpass the Wiis success and come in 2nd?

You sound like one of those pathetic marketers that companies hire to get 'vibes' from web forums on their product and to hype their product. Honestly.

This point sucks. A plane isn't a boat, but that doesn't mean it's not the best way to travel around the world. You basically have to damage control and make esoteric catergories to try and fit PS3 in as the most powerful form of gaming.

Endless is the amount of PS3 users that will build up over the next several years.  Endless is the amount of game hours that will be logged on Home in the next several months and years to come.  Endless refers to the huge impact that the PS3 has already made and will continue to make on the gaming market.  If you want me to come up with an endless list, I would never be able to complete it or press the SUBMIT button.  It would be endless.  I only gave you a small fraction of said list.

 

2K8 FTW!

I guess my point was too subtle for you, so I'll make it clear. PRICE. That is why the PS3 is not going to win. $599 for a console? That's REDICULOUS. And talk all you want about BluRay, to all but a small group of people, it's a games console. There's a reason the PS3 sold less than the GBA in February. And that reason starts with a P and ends with Sony losing this generation.

1. Games - name them. No seriously. Name a released exclusive that justifies buying the system. You spending $500+ for Motorstorm and Resistance?

2. Hardware - PC is relevant, you want to price at $500+ you'd better outperform a gaming PC. It doesn't help that the 360 has superior RAM and GPU.

3. Fanbase - people who will stick with the PS2, casuals who bought it when it was $150 or less, and people who only bought it for GTA are not going to spend $500 now for a PS3.

4. Huge Titles-  Unproven IPs, a pair of kids games, a JRPG that will wind up on the 360, and God of War 3 (eventually). Nice.

5. Free online with poor friend management, no achievement points, no really compelling game arcade, and an unproven "HOME" service.

6. Sixaxis has no rumble, and Sony has yet to make a move to include it. "Buh...bu...bu they settled with Immersion" - because they had to. We'll see if they release a rumble-enabled controller. Not that it will make existing games gain rumble.

7. MS just promised me the world. Elite is amazing, 120gb for my music, includes all of the adapters I could ever need to hook it up anywhere I go, and it's still cheaper than a PS3.

8. Blu-Ray - do people run out and buy a PS2 when they need a DVD player? If Blu-Ray wins, stand-alone Blu-Ray players offering far superior playback will cost much less than the PS3.

9. Sony is absolutely gimmicky. "True HD" - give me a break, nothing but marketing hype - people buy 1080p HDTVs then watch DVDs on them, great use of money. The SixAxis is a complete gimmick - every review of the tilt controls in games has been lukewarm at best.

10. Untapped potential eh? I want to game now, not in two years. I'm not sitting around *waiting* because, frankly, if you want long enough you're dead. I'm waiting until April 29, and then I've waited *far* long enough to jump into the HD gaming generation.

If you want to stop waiting to play some awesome HD games, feel free to sell your PS3 and come join us.

11. Meaningless trolling > sales, popular opinion, price. Besides, I think "it's losing", is a good reason that it hasn't won.

1-all ps3 has is motorstorm and resistance. other than that you can get the rest on the 360. the best game on the PS3 is a game that was on the 360 a whole year ago. 360 library is bigger, the multiplat games have been better on 360, and the 360 has its own lineup of exclusives to. 2-the 360 has the same edge on gpu that the ps3 has on the cpu. and the heart of any processor is the gpu. so id say the hardware for 360 is better. 3- fanbasee, wow 100 million people didnt buy the ps2 because they were sony fans, they bought it because it was the better buy last gen. it was the better system. the ps3 isnt this time around. 4-hype doesnt mean they will be huge 1st of all. second shadow of the collauses was last gen and did it even sell that many copies.360 has its own lineup of games that wont be on PS3 halo 3, halo wars, mass effect ,banjo, lost oddyssey, forza 2, blue dragon, huxley, bioshock,etc, and oh yeah like u said the "surprises" 5-wow original my arse. homw is a ripoff of second life or sims take ur pick. please. this wont be all that special to casuals over the wii. so no. 6- wasnt rumble last gen. anyway the 6 axis isnt even anything special. if anything sony ripped off nintendo by adding the motion sensing controller. even if nintendos version is actually better as far as motion sensing is concerned. 7-wow the elite is just another version of the 360 with specific features. its for people who have hdtv and need hdmi. as for other 360 owners the premium is just fine. so ur wrong there. seems to be the theme of your thread 8-yep blu ray player>>>>>>>>>>hddvd, seriousaly thats not even a debate. so yeah u got something right. 9-personally i think its ur opinion that the wiimote is a gimmick. when u can prove it then come and talk. last i checked the wii is a good seller, has some good games coming out for it, and has good games now(although not many). how is sony not a gimmick Home is about as much of a gimmick as the wiimote if u wanna use that logic. a bluray player being the biggest selling point, something that has nothing to do with videogames. 10-well that remains to be seen but at the same time 360 games still has more potential also. it isnt like the figured out the whole system in one year. so u can expect the same from 360.

And how many Ferraris get sold compared to, say, Ford, Chevrolet, Lexus, or Honda? Exactly. Hold on. Just to make sure, you DO realize that winning the console war means selling the most units, right?

The price is at least. Let's just hope it sells a bit better than a Ferrari ey? And I guess that makes PC the 747 of gaming.

4. Huge Titles- Unproven IPs, a pair of kids games, a JRPG that will wind up on the 360, and God of War 3 (eventually). Nice.

5. Free online with poor friend management, no achievement points, no really compelling game arcade, and an unproven "HOME" service.

6. Sixaxis has no rumble, and Sony has yet to make a move to include it. "Buh...bu...bu they settled with Immersion" - because they had to. We'll see if they release a rumble-enabled controller. Not that it will make existing games gain rumble.

7. MS just promised me the world. Elite is amazing, 120gb for my music, includes all of the adapters I could ever need to hook it up anywhere I go, and it's still cheaper than a PS3.

8. Blu-Ray - do people run out and buy a PS2 when they need a DVD player? If Blu-Ray wins, stand-alone Blu-Ray players offering far superior playback will cost much less than the PS3.

9. Sony is absolutely gimmicky. "True HD" - give me a break, nothing but marketing hype - people buy 1080p HDTVs then watch DVDs on them, great use of money. The SixAxis is a complete gimmick - every review of the tilt controls in games has been lukewarm at best.

10. Untapped potential eh? I want to game now, not in two years. I'm not sitting around *waiting* because, frankly, if you want long enough you're dead. I'm waiting until April 29, and then I've waited *far* long enough to jump into the HD gaming generation.

If you want to stop waiting to play some awesome HD games, feel free to sell your PS3 and come join us.subrosian

 A pathetic attempt at damage control.  Your theory is so full of holes, I don't know where to start.  It's obvious that you feel threatened by the mighty Sony machine.  Don't you see that your console's company had to upgrade their console to stay in the game with Sony?  Everything that Sony does, the other two attempt to counter.  Look at MS's "elite" and Nintendo's MiiSims.  Gee, I wonder where they all got those from!

Either you're a giant fakeboy or incredibly ignorant. Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that Nintendo stole their Miis from Playstation Home?

[QUOTE="subrosian"]1. Games - name them. No seriously. Name a released exclusive that justifies buying the system. You spending $500+ for Motorstorm and Resistance?

Well, at least you said one thing honest. "I don't know where to start".

To all you lems claiming this topic to be pathetic, take a look at this: http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25479819 Look how poorly your own kind fares at these kinds of topics. At least the guy in this topic had some okay points, as opposed to a list of 10 unreleased games, 3 of which have recieved hype.

[QUOTE="Hoffgod"][QUOTE="MC2K8"]Is anyone going to give me a valid reason why it's not? No, because there are none.MC2K8

I guess my point was too subtle for you, so I'll make it clear. PRICE. That is why the PS3 is not going to win. $599 for a console? That's REDICULOUS. And talk all you want about BluRay, to all but a small group of people, it's a games console. There's a reason the PS3 sold less than the GBA in February. And that reason starts with a P and ends with Sony losing this generation.

PS3 = The Ferrari of gaming.

Movie stars crash them? No no, ANYONE can crash a ps3.

And what benefit is there in this pissing match as to which fanboy is worse? It's like comparing who has a worse case of Athlete's Foot. Guess what? Even if you have less than the other guy YOU STILL HAVE ATHLETE'S FOOT.

Even though both topics are pointless and s***, I was just pointing out that this guy actually tried to formulate something, even if it came out poorly.

Plus, I agree with this one to an extent on point 7. To me, the elite blows. no need to release 3 versions of the same console, and the HDD is a rip. Then again, I can't afford any of the Next gen consoles, so i don't really need to worry about how much i'm getting ripped off

Oh, I agree that the Elite is bull**** and a stupid move by MS. I just don't really see how it helps Sony. Now if MS were phasing out the Premium in favor of the Elite...

9. Sony is serious. They're not gimmicky (Hint, hint, Nintendo). The PS3 is next-gen (or current-gen), not fake-gen, or lame-gen, or WATERED-DOWN-GEN!

They're all laughable but this I had to really lol at :D
