I don't think Cows are aware how bad things are at Sony. PSP's fate same as PS3?

I just don't understand, they have multipalts for PS3 and Xbox360 but they sell more on Xbox360.

I don't think it's just the price, but other factors as well.

I just don't actually here any good news for Sony at all. Sony dominating?

I don't think so.

The thing is I just bought a PSP lite with tekken-nice machine but were are the games?

I don't care if Sony comes out with PSP 3000 with a brighter screen woopee doo. no good to me with out the games.

shame though, at least I can still look through the back catalogue of games until there library and business tactics vastly improve in '09....

call me a caual then, but I know good multiplat games when I see them and some good exclusives too. but the PS3 exclusives are far to few and good enough for me to warrant purchasing a PS3. and good chance they'll end up on the Xbox360. makes sense for publishers, gamers -everyone wins !

Shouldn't you have researched that before you bought the machine?

All I hear is "Just Wait" till next year, (07 will be the year; 08 will be the year; 09 will be the year), and how it hasn't reached it's full potential yet, and once developers figure out the Cell processor it will own all. Everyone is looking to the future and forgetting they live in the present.

Well, PSP has 3 or 4 new square enix games coming soon. maybe that will boost sales.. who knows.

And enough with the "PS3 is a sinking ship" Ps3 Doomed" "Sony crumbling" Threads, we can all read and click. one thread is more than enough..

So basically this thread is the PS3 haters club? Why not start a Union? Many people realize that Sony isnt doing to well, but in reality, I dont care. Sony released some great games this year, thats what I care about. Sony's financial details, not so much. Its not like I own stock in SONY or anything.

When it comes to games, services, and features, Sony is very strong right now (and looks even better for the future). They'll definitely adjust to their situation, as do all companies, but I highly doubt the PS division will go under.

I wonder if White Knight Chronicles will help the PS3 in Japan, as well as Square's huge support for the PSP. More likely than not, it should.

yeah but given the choice it was either DS or PSP. I wanted a portable and I didn't really like the controls of the DS and even though it had a huge selection of games a lot of them simply don't appeal to me and the games on the PSP that I do like are far and few. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Why can't PSP just clinch the hardcore market for portables there is no other competition but Nintendo DS.

I for one, never thought the PS3 would reach its full potential in the 2nd year :?. You have to break even and continue to gain support for that. Sony has the games and support, now they have to break even.

This year has been much better for Sony, respectively. In all fairness, I'm still enjoying new games for my PS2. Sony's motto is "shoot for the sun, not the moon" and this attitude while a different strategy (and expensive at first) usually pays off in the end. PS3 is gonna be around for a long time so why not have a little patience and enjoy what's available atm?

I think the "Just Wait" crowd is also the crowd loaded up on pixie sticks with an attention span of a squirrel in the yard.

These threads make me laugh. Lets compare the PS2 120m userbase compared to the 360 25million userbase... I wonder on which console madden 09 will sell more... Use common sense. The 360 sells more software than the PS3 because of higher userbase but the reality is that the PS3 has higher attach rate.

It's probably because of the new hardware on the PSP 3000 that people are neglecting to buy it ;)
