If Gamers are spending THOUSANDS for Crysis..Whats stopping them from buying PS3

Who is spending thousands of dollars for Crysis?

I know of people spending maybe $2000 for a slew of games that include Crysis, I don't know of anyone who buy an "uber"

gaming rig simply for crysisWith games like Starcraft 2, Hellgate: London, Spore & so many others anyone who owns a 

computer worth thousands of dollars is going to be having it for more then simply crysis

Like my topic says. Plenty of people are spending thousands of dollars just for a PC to play Crysis. So my question is this.. Time and time again I hear people on these forums saying "People wont spend $600.00 for one good PS3 title" Well if thats the case, explain why people are paying thousands to play Crysis and people paid $400.00 to play Gears.

You might say "But bu but 360 has other good games besides Gears" True, But speaking as someone that bought the 360 just for Gears of war, not as many people would have bought the 360 if it wasnt for Gears, me being one of them.

So whats to stop people paying $600.00 when that one "Must Have" killer app PS3 title hits store shelves.  As the old saying goes.. "A sucker is born every second" People will pay ANYTHING to get their hands on the next hottest item or game. Hence why 360 and PS3 sold for over $1000.00 after they where released. Believe me, $600.00 is not a high price tag... Its just a high price when there is no killer app games for it.. Believe me, when PS3 gets that "Gears" type of game, you will see people stepping over each other to drop $600.00 for a PS3

I know Jack Tretton is full of it sometimes. But I recall a recent interview with him discussing the price point of the PS3 and he simply said "Our object is not the price of the PS3 but getting out great software and great killer apps to justify the high price point"and he hit the nail on the head.

A PC that can handle Crysis decently > PS3Mikerules868

Yeah im with yah buddy. There is nothing that interests me on the PS3 right now. And to think that i was going to sell my 360 on ebay just so i could get the money to buy a PS3. I would have gotten a lot for it since i got it at launch.

Firstly, not even the biggest PC fanboy would be enough a moron to pay thousands just to play ONE game that looks pretty.

Secondly, I wouldnt pay 10 pence for Crysis, its not my kind of game, and I dont give a sh*t how good it looks,

Thirdly, I wouldnt pay 10 pence for a PS3 unless it actually had good games for it, and dont say it has MGS4, cos im not interested in that either.....

(To those who will probably take me seriously = im obviously exaggerating on the third point - but you get what I mean)

Consoles = DX9 = Last Gen

PC = DX10 = Real Next Gen

If you knew anything about crysis you would know that the devs have spent more time on gameplay than anything else. They said the graphics are just an added bonus. Not saying you have to like it. But do some research.

Thats not the point im making. Like I said its not my kind of game. Im just not that into shooters.

This topic is seriously just nothing but opinion.  "Plenty" of people...........that is quite vague and has no backing.  And it's not like people are just paying that amount of money for Crysis as well.MikeE21286

It would be dumb if you were upgrading for one game. There are many games i want. Thats why im upgrading.

A pc can do so much more than just play games. :|

True ...Facebook is the best ! 

A pc is a lot more useful than a PS3. :|

??? I guess i spend more time on a PC than consoles . 

PC gets more AAAs than consoles. :|

Yeah but they aren't that great like wtf ???Dinner Dash . Anyway PCs are the home of RTS
so if you like them by all means go with them

PC graphics are leaps ahead of any console to date. :|
If you mean textures , resolutions and stuff yeah expensive PCs can do that better but not many games on the PC look better than Gears of War although everynow and then really good games come out like Half Life 2 , Far cry , Crysis etc.

Man, That's poetry to my ears. 

There are tons of great DX10 PC games coming out that people will get. Crysis is a good point for people to upgrade and part of the reason they're doing it. If I didn't want Bioshock and the best shooter multiplats I wouldn't be upgrading just for 1 game.

And people aren't buying PS3 because of the negativity surrounding it, the high price, and waiting for games. I bought one as soon as I could. No hardware faults, Resistance is great, and even if it doesn't win I know that Sony will be producing tons and tons of 1st party exclusives along with MGS4 and FFXIII regardless. The main problem is most hardcore PS fanbase are just not rich zealots who'll buy whatever is new like Xbox fans....

PS3 isin't worth 600$ and has no games..mark4091

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sick of hearing this!!!!

Ps3 has more AA games than Wii
