How close is the ps3???

My question is, how close is the PS3 from actually "turning the corner" the argument has always been, too pricey, too little games, horrid exclusives, and bad online. well the games are close to the 360, the exclusives are better than the 360, and the online is catching up and FREE. So im asking as a NON-FANBOY, is the PS3 really only a price cut away from really "turning" this gen around as far as sales. cuz lets be honest...the games are there, or very close

I find these two statement together funny. If you were asking as a NON-FANBOY, you would have left the exclusives being better then the 360 out.

You are right it is personal preference but he stated it as a fact.

I want a PS3. But I'm hoping there's a price cut.

You are right it has been getting good exclusives so he could have just said "it has some good exclusive games" and left out the part about the 360. Which would then have made the NOn-FANOY part understandable and I would have not of found it funny.

i think that after a price cut the ps3 will begin a turnaround, but i dont think it will be instantanious, it will still take some time to get momemtum behind it and all the people who wont listen to anything about the ps3 to finally take their hands off their ears.

Hmm a non-fanboy? you seem to hate the 360 quite a bit gathering from your last posts.

Imo they are gonna need more than a price cut. Their reputation is broken now, i still hear people at school saying LOL NO GAEMS. And we all know PS3 has good games now..itzagir

hence my post saying that it will take some time for people to take their hands off their ears.

I think M$ fixed a lot of that with their $1 billion / 3yr warranty deal. They also released both the Falcon and not Jasper motherboards with cooler CPU/GPU chips. So the RROD will be a thing of the past for most of this year. Sony rep is still tarnished for marketing their PS3 as a Blu-Ray player first, just to winthe media wars and losing all those exclusives to Microsoft and Nintendo. They are also still in last place, when they were 1st the previous generation. They report huge losses for last year. That's a huge downer right there. A lot of gamers feel Sony failed miserable this gen. Even though Sony is slowly crawling out of the hole, it's a BIG HOLE right now. Even their big exclusives like Resistance 2 and LBP didn't fly off retail shelves like the should have. Took several weeks for them to sell 1 million copies. So I don't think M$ XBox 360 is in bad shape compared to Sony's PS3.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]

[QUOTE="XanderZane"] I don't think it'll blow out the XBox 360 at all. Even with a $50 price cut it's not going to catch the XBox 360. If M$ drops the price of the XBox 360 down to $150, it's over. Sony's needs to drop the PS3 down at least $100 and also needs to release more JRPG exclusive titles. Then the PS3 will start catching up to the XBox 360, but it'll most likely be too little to late. They will most likely sell neck and neck for the rest of the generation. If the PS3 loses another holiday to the XBox 360, it's definitely over. The Xbox 360 will be at least 10-11million ahead worldwide if that happens. I don't see the PS3 making those numbers up before M$ launches a new XBox. in 2011-2012.. XanderZane

well a hundred dollar price cut will definitly help as far as the games go its obviously a matter of opinion. I do think however if you are looking for Sony to reclaim first place in the console wars that its not going to happen (at least this gen) perhaps next gen they will come out with a console that isnt so expensive from the start and easy to develop for and maybe even inovative and then they will stand a chance. However right now its too late for that most likely.

They need a bottom line model, 40gb, no wireless built in on top of a £50 price cut, then sell the wireless adapter for £60, just like 360 =)

Sorry but "the exclusives are better than the 360" and "So im asking as a NON-FANBOY" doesnt make sense on the same sentence!

Just a 50-100$ price cut and its over. Even though the PS3 is far cheaper than the 360 in terms of value, but consumers in majority are ignorants and they don't go with the quality and quantity that is the PS3, its later that they realize the real price of a Xbox.

Well the problem I see, in North America at least (all I can really judge) is that the 360 has become synonymous with gaming this generation. Microsoft got their good games out fast and in good time, so now every 18-27 year old male and their dog has a 360. 360 has earned a place in pop-culture (much different than the Wii btw) and continues to be the "PS2" of this gen. So even though the PS3 may have better games (arguable) and a price cut, it still has to fight the name recognition that the 360 now has. Is it unfair? Perhaps. But I think that the PS3 cannot top the pop-culture popularity of the 360 this gen.
