I Just Wanted The PS3 to be like the PS2 the Best

without going into a lengthy explanation of the ps3's floppage im going to say.

to long of a wait for good games.

too expensive without the blu ray it could have been cheaper and sold much better.

yeah basically they even failed to market it as cheap next genmovie player if i want a next gen movie player i can go to amazon and pay about half the ps3's price for a hd-dvd stand-alone player.

Price, advertising, and lack of games at launch. The price pretty much killed it. Sony could have made that thing sell as well as the Wii, if only they had marketed it better, and made it cost less. The Playstation brand is known world-round, and its popular. but now, no one really cares. The Wii has taken its place as most popular at the moment.Haziqonfire

It doesn't even have to do with the number of bad or good games available for the PS3. Haziqonfire pretty much got the picture perfect. I think the PS3 is a excellent system and there is less **** hitting the fan. You explained it perfectly. The PS3 can still live, but Sony itself allowed a few things to crash into the wall. They were certain that the name alone could make it number one. I say that because no one at the company couldn't shut up prior to it's release. Everytime I heard $599 I kind of cringed.

LOL...the PS2 was never the best machine last generation. The Dreamcast, the Xbox, and yes, the Game Cube were all better consoles.

What you probably meant to say is that you wanted the PS3 to attract the most developers like the PS2 did the past few years. Well, I don't think that is going to happen because developers follow the money. This gen they are going to follow the Wii and the 360. The closest you can get to the experience you had with the PS2 is if you buy yourself an Xbox360. And you are in luck -- the 360 is way cheaper than the PS3.

lol wut?

PS2 was THE BEST console Last Gen!! PERIOD

It had the most games, most AAA games, most exclusives, most 3rd party support, most everything. And it sold the most out of any console ever (handhelds excluded)

Yes, it had all of that, but it was not the best console. Ironic, ain't it?

They were the best at marketing their underpowered console.

Sony really did a good job last gen selling their machine (mostly lies and smoke and mirrors)...and then they forgot everything they learned (and invented). Maybe arrogance clowded their judgement. Karma is a ****

Edit: How is this for irony. Last gen they had a weak machine, but they managed to rule the gaming world. This gen they have what a machine that might be sligthly more technologically advanced than the competition, but they are flopping big time. Oh well, even the Roman Empire came to an end.

so what does best equal?

Raw power or potential?...because if that's what it is then I guess the PS3 is the winner of this gen.

Not really. The PS3s design is flawed. They thought the cell processor could handle everything, but then they realized the they had overestimated its power. Then there is the way the machine handles memory....bah, its too late to get into that.

It could have been an awesome machine, but they came up with something just about equal to the 360 (give or take a few advantages here and there).

Umm...link?

The Cell and RSX are capable of great things (as are the Xenon and Xenos)

The PS3 does not have a design flaw (the 360's only real hardware problem is that its unreliable)

Both consoles are great. PS3 wins by a small margin though.

DOes that mean everything will be better on the PS3? NO, bearly any multi-plat game has been better on the 360.

But if you spent the time you could do a bit more w/ the PS3

Umm...link?

-D3MO-

Umm...do your own research.

The Cell and RSX are capable of great things (as are the Xenon and Xenos)-D3MO-

True. Even with all its flaws, the PS3 is still a very capable machine.

The PS3 does not have a design flaw-D3MO-

Yes it does, but they patched it up the best they could.

the 360's only real hardware problem is that its unreliable)-D3MO-

True, but they patched it up the best they could. With the release of the new chips that unreliability will be a thing of the past.

Both consoles are great. PS3 wins by a small margin though.

-D3MO-

If we are speaking about technology, I would have to say yes.

But remember that the PS2 was not a great machine and yet it managed to win by a wide margin.

I don't think the PS3 is going to win this gen. As a matter of fact, I think they are going to lose by a considerable margin...just like I knew that the PS2 was going to win when it firs came out.

But if you spent the time you could do a bit more w/ the PS3

-D3MO-

True...but for developers, time is money.
