IF PS3 Launched This year.. It would have OWNED Nintendo and MS

now i know this is all "WHAT IF" and whats done is done BUT its fun to think about the "WHAT IFs" in life sometimes. So yes you read correctly. Lets say if sony waited another whole year to launch the PS3. Lets say they launched it this november at $399.99 pricepoint, and all the games out now and coming out where all launch games. Games such as Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank, Haze, Warhawk Ghost Recon 2, Rainbow six vegas and COD 4 among other titles along with all the demos and content that the PSstore currently has and also along with the latest firmware update. I guarantee the PS3 would have KILLED the 360 and Wii this holiday season with no problem whatsoever.

Think about it like this, sure it would have given MS a 2 year headstart BUT think about how much hype and anticipation the PS3 would have had if it was launching this year with all those blockbuster exclusive games I just mentioned above not to mention the Gran Turismo 5 Demo for download. I mean think about it, sure it would be 2 years behind microsoft but ATLEAST it would have received praise for A. Being at affordable pricepoint and B.Having one of the best launch games in the history of gaming and C. Gamers only having to wait out several months until the heavy hitters such as MGS4, Gran Turismo, Killzone 2, Socom etc came out.

sure you might be thinking that it would be a terrible idea for Sony to sacrifice to be a whole 2 years behind the competiton but think about how much praise it would have received if it launched this year. Can you imagine how much the PS3 would have sold at a 399.99 launch price point if it had launch titles such as Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Ghost Recon 2, Motorstorm, Uncharted, COD4, Haze, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Folklore etc etc. I mean the PS3 would be praised for having the best launch game line up i history AND having great price point.. And the best part would be gamers would only have to wait a few months to get the great games in 2008 BUT NO. Instead look where they are now

good thing you don't have a time machine, so you could go back and warn Sony, otherwise i'd be really worried.

I don't get it. You even said that the 360 would have two years on the ps3, therefore all of those people, except the most desperate of fanboys would have said, "suck it, i'm not waiting two years while people are playing 360s and wiis" then they would have bought a 360 because of the amazing games that it has. Sony would have lost even more market to M$ and Nintendo, putting the ps3 in a worse position than it is now.

but if we are playing "what ifs" then I can just make up whatever too. What if the 360 didn't come out until this past summer, but with all of its lineup from the past two years..... it would totally own Sony... oh wait... it already does.

Why do you quote someone's entire post when you're the first to respond?

Two years after 360's launch!!!! then you know what, all of these games would be exclusive to 360 not PS3, PS3 is one year later and look what damage is done to it's games, DMC4, RE5, AC and a lot more exclusives were lost, if PS3's launch is this year, nobody will buy it and all the games will be exclusive to 360 and Wii.

Ok? If Xbox 360 launched this year it would have owned. Halo 3 already has amazing sales. Now imagine all those people purchasing an Xbox 360.

Same can be said both ways. But unless you want to stay in fantasy world, "if" doesn't mean much in the real world.

no... just no

I cant believe I am reading this

It would have been worse, definently.

The 360 would have another year of exclusives over the PS3. Even more sales.

The PS3 price would not be 400, because they wouldn't have worked out how to lower production costs yet.

It would be even longer before we saw many of its big games come out, because it helps to have the actually console available when developing them.

It would be killed even harder.

no... just no

That was the same response I was thinking. So the PS3 launches in Nov this year with a 80GB $600 system?

I don't think it would own any console. The GBA would still be beating it in sales every week.

But it didn't. So..

Your logic is flawed as a lot more people would have bought Xbox 360's because they wouldn't have wanted to wait another year for the PS3. But I do agree the PS3 would have had a much better launch.coolviper2003

thats what you think. Sony would just keep pushing the ps2 harder.
