Here's why I would like the ps3 to fail

[QUOTE="Blue-Sphere"][QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]

The 360 isnt freaking cheap, 600 bucks big freaking deal, honestly, people need to stop complaining about the price, old argument and its totally invalid, dont buy it then, but its worth every penny

Anyone who wishes for another company to fail is a sad sad fanboy who doesnt realize how catastrophic and terrible that would be to the industry

no, of course price is a big deal, i meant stop compaling about the PS3 price, its worth every penny, and if u dont want it, than dont use price as an excuse, dont buy it and just shut your mouth because when you drop 400 for a 360, than honestly i dont think 600 bucks is gonna dent you

Thats another $200 man, thats XBL for a year, and two to three 360 games. You are crazy if you think $600 is justifiable at this stage or any stage for that matter in a consoles life span.

I would just like to say that your three reasons where crap. number 1 the price is how much you are willing to spend if you do not want to spend that much all i can say is your missing out (being a ps3 owner). number 2 the advertising and 'lieing' dont matter considering the advertising only makes you think about the console and the lieing about whatever dosent matter because you can see for yourself if you go to your m8s an try it. number 3 if you dont like the games then you dont like them but for me its great resistances online has nothing wrong whatsoever (if you do then try burnout paradise its basically online all the time) and my oblivion is great love looking out at those views from the mountain tops over frosty lakes all the way to imperial city. just your opinon and to be honest here i dont like 360 but others do. so i say 'all to ya' coz im happy where i am

With my ps3

1. Price. Just insane. I have the money but dont want to spend $600 for any console. Hell my pc cost me less and does everything I want it to do. I was reluctant to pay $400 for my 360 but $600 is way too damn much. I don't want the stinkin blu-ray player and I still have plenty of room on my small 360 hardrive. I don't want to see this trend continue in the console buisness so here's #1 reason.

2. Arrogance: From their top Executives like Crazy Ken all the way down to their snobby fanboys. I hate everything about the playstation brand. Sony is often caught lying and using bs tatics to promote thier trashy products. How many Project Gothem screens did they use to promote thier games? How many emty promises have they deliverd on the ps3? I hope consumers start judging products on the merit of the company.

3. Games: What a lackluster library. Since launch it has maybe 2 games worth playing? Blah. The Wii maybe graphically inferior but has 5 times as many games worth playing. The only good games the fanboys can show are screenshots of future products that do not reflect any way in how the games will play. Pathetic.

1. i agree. sony had the option to leave bloooray out and give the consumers the choice. But, their poor management decision to include it has taken sony from #1 to faaaaaaaaar last place in under a year.... with the gap widening everyday. it was their own greed and arrogance that caused them to make this poor decision, so now they get to live with it.

2. agreed. their over the top arroagance since the announcement of the original xbox has been legendary. yet, here they are trying hard to copy the MS while still not giveing credit where it's due..... only recently they've started to act more human, but have only done so after the reality of losing the console war is imminent.... too little, too late. and yes, the cows make it even worse by repeating every stupid comment and unfullfilled promise as "proof" becuase the idiots at sony "said so"..:roll:

3. exactly.. then again, sony "never once called it a gaming machine"...so what do you expect... gaming is no longer sony's paramoundconsideration.... they've turned their back on their gamers for movie watchers... heckuva way to say thanks to your "100 million ps customers"...:roll:

given the abysmal sales of the ps3 and it's software, i'd say you're not alone in your stance....

good post..:)

If you've got the money, more power to you, but I hope you get what I'm sayin.

The PS3 has been failing already. Check out its sales.

[QUOTE="No_worrys_mate"]

Like Nintendo is because their making a profit on each console and every product and made the most money last gen even though it sold the worst, But The Ps2 made money for Sony but made its money later as with this gen but they have tried to give the user everything they possibly could want at resonable price and their talking a major hit for it at im still here trying to defend if their not greedy or not.Eponique

Yes, I've said that, every company wants money, including Nintendo. But $600 for a toy? Sure it's fun, but c'mon... do you honestly expect people to pay that much? Also considering you can have as much fun on a Wii as a PS3 (well, not you, but most people).

I spend more money on stupider things that i either get less use out of or can only use in the summer. i.e. my ninja. 6 grand for a summer toy. hell the computer you're using right now was prob anywhere from 1000-2000 bucks. and im willing to bet a PS3 does almost everything you compy does and more is some areas. really $600 is not bad if you sit and think about what your getting for that price. also if you think that the PS3 flopping and sony making no more consoles would be good for the market, you're kinda dumb(this was meant for TC). if there was no competition from sony, m$ would have charged enough to be making profit on the 360 which would jack the price up a goodfew hundred bucks. in other words without sony your 360 prob wouldn't be as cheap as it is, even tho its still not that cheap. on top of that xbox live would prob be a little more expensive without sony offering free online from the very begninng.

I think Sony should have taken a bigger hit and sold it for $400. Because software sales would have picked up larger then they already are. I believe this console is a big testing tool for them in the market while they practice skimming. Skimming being a marketing term for setting the price high at first to get the must have buyers and adjust it down as sales drop. Hence the skimming of willing to buy price ranges 600 550 500 450 400. But I can promise we won't see a PS3 for 200 or less for 6 years easy.

But at least it has way more included then with the 360. BluRay, Blue Tooth, 4 USB ports, 3 memory card slots sd memory and such, 60 gigs of memory (I've used 22 gigs already), I can store videos, pictures and music on (currently have over 450 pictures of my family, and 100 videos saved on my PS3, I can surf the web and download linux into it so that firefox works. I have the option of wireless internet out of the box with no need to buy addtional stuff, I have motion sensor in my controllers which is more then a trend, its actually alot of fun. My system is reliable, which from what I understand is un heard of with 360's. Buying a reliable 360 is like playing Russian Roulette. Its so silent in operation too. Its online store and setup is ever expanding with firmware updates. I can now PRINT from my PS3 as long as I plug my printers USB cord into the PS3. Is that not sick? I can also resize my photo's that I've stored, and I can run photo albums when I have company over with music playing, like a slide show program.

I see my friends on my ps3 using there 360 webcam plugged into their PS3. It really is a sick system.

Sony's price isn't that out of line with past history. The original NES released with a $481 price tag and seemed to do okay. The orginal Atari 2600 was successful with a $682 release price.ramey70

Without inflation accounted for? If so, WOW. People are cheap nowadays.

No, that's BLS inflation adjusted pricing.

Stop complaining about the price complaing wont help. Stop complaining about the lack of games. Before you know they will have more than enough games. If u dont like the price then dont think about the ps3.

Just so you know TC 360 is more unreliable than ps3. Its obvious more poeple trust playstation consoles more than any other consoles in the last 10 years.

And for your fanboys talking sales. I got question for you guys. You realize that ps2 is selling while the ps3 is selling. Is gamecube or xbox still selling?Not really you guys failed last gen. So sony is selling two consoles at once. Their making money on 1 and losing money on the other.

Every one that I know of who got a PS3 are all adult who pass 30 with Job, so $600 isnt much. hell! you take a girl or wife out for nice night out can easily cost you half of a PS3. (From where I live.)

All honesty $600 isnt all that much consider what this *TOY* can do.

PS3 is pretty much ok now since sony has won the next gen HD format. its all good sailing from now on for sony. pitty those that bought the HD-DVD player or the addon for the 360 LOL obsolete hardware imo go return it if you can or sell it to some noob and buy the blueray... cus blueray is here to stay baby muhaha.

600$ isnt overpriced, blueray player+gaming console+wifi+wireless controler+free online = wicked. get a job or something if you think its overpriced. now just need the games lalala hurry up sony ssesh

I was reluctant to pay $400 for my 360 but $600 is way too damn much. I don't want the stinkin blu-ray player and I still have plenty of room on my small 360 hardrive. I don't want to see this trend continue in the console buisness so here's #1 reason.

- The next gen consoles are said to be cheaper, Dont buy one until it drops in price, Its not Sonys fault that you cant afford it (You can buy it but obviously you cant afford it.)

2. Arrogance: From their top Executives like Crazy Ken all the way down to their snobby fanboys. I hate everything about the playstation brand. Sony is often caught lying and using bs tatics to promote thier trashy products. How many Project Gothem screens did they use to promote thier games? How many emty promises have they deliverd on the ps3? I hope consumers start judging products on the merit of the company.

You obviously in the minority, The Ps3 will pick up alot of sales when it gets games and becomes cheaper, I expect Sony to pull the big guns out and turn their Pr into a +, Crazy Kens gone and their trying to do a overhall of staff and things only can get better.

3. Games: What a lackluster library. Since launch it has maybe 2 games worth playing? Blah. The Wii maybe graphically inferior but has 5 times as many games worth playing. The only good games the fanboys can show are screenshots of future products that do not reflect any way in how the games will play. Pathetic.

If you dont consider the 360 then the Ps3 has plenty of games which dosent count on system wars but still you dont think 3+ million are playing just Motorstorm and Rfom, Imo the Wii is just Pathetic, Wario Ware is Pathetic and the only games id buy for it is Zelda, Spm, Re4- If i didnt already own the Gc game and maybe T. Centre, So basicaly the Wii has ports and Mini games.

Good for you, not all of us like to waste money though...

I wouldnt say a its a waste, I mean i could spend any where between $100-$150 on just myself going out on the town for a night,Id say thats a waste but really i can play any game i want and have the money to do it, I dont care, People spend alot more on other hobbies anyway, Ten of thousands sometimes.
