i dont want to offend ps3 owners but most of them ( which i have met) are really unexplainable( silly)

i work in agames shop and i get people complaining why the ps3 has hardly any games out, or how they didnt like teh games

i usually ask the people how much they paid for it and most say around about 400 english pounds (around about 800 us dollars)

then i ask what games they play and they say resistance or motorstorm,but they then go on to say they dont really like them.

then i ask ( in the most polite way possible) what games did you get your ps3 for,

and they say grand theft auto,and the ones that dont say devil may cry, fifa or pro evo(which are really big in england) or dont really know them selves.

all of us in teh shop agree that before you buy a 400 quid console you want to do some research on it, especially games.

would you pay 400 for something you dont know anything about?

its the sony brand effect, the same reason people buy the psp, infact all the people i know with a ps3 has a psp.

dont get me wrong i would get a ps3 but the only game i want is mgs4, so why pay 350 + 50 for teh sake of one game?

its only my opinion but you must beable to reflect on this, especially those who work in games shops.

by teh way i loooved the ps2 and ps1 they were awesome :D

any thoughts?

But the ds is the king of handhelds, and the Wii is the king of sales; both of which are the exact opposite for sony

When SOny went high priced video game console and wanted to push the blu ray people should of had enough common sense to know the PS3 was going to be a flop

Meh, the loading times are really fast for some games.

And only a few of the PSP games are PS2 ports.

If you ask me, £400 for Metal Gear Solid 4 is worth every penny.

Yes... because all everybody want on the PS3 are soccer games and DMC and the PSP is such a horrible hand-held system. What a waste of time. If the only game you like that's coming out on the PS3 is MGS4 and nothing else then don't buy it. Reason why I didn't buy the Wii is because the only game that interest me on the Wii is Smash Bros. I have a bunch of games I want for the 360 and PS3.

some people should of just waited but when i bought my ps3 i knew that was what i wanted before hand. everything i want is on the ps3, free online a blu-ray player its perfect and i wasn't going to another console.all i could say is wait for the games you want before you buy it. but i think this a good time to get the ps3, price drop free blu-rays and games are coming

Yeah I got a PS1 and PS2 and I bought the PSP because of what it could do, it looked amazing, and Sony was making it, but although its better I still regret spending $300 or somthing on it... I'm just glad I didnt get the PS3 when it came out I was tempted, but a year later a big price drop, but still ont one AAA exclusive.

i stop reading when you said "i work at a game store". I work at CEX in Birmingham and have so many people come in to play on the PS3. Not to mention there are a good variety of PS3 games out. Fair enough their arnt as much as Xbox 360 games out there, but they are sure as hell more than Wii games.

People with PS2 had to wait for good games. Japan didnt get any games at launch for god sakes, yet it outsold both Xbox and GC together. PS3 aint got the games probably at the moment for people like you, but it doesnt explain why a console with such less games is outselling a 360 at this day and age.

the ps2's biggest selling point was the dvd player. then because the install base went up,all the devs started making games for it
