There's been quite a bit of "PS3 or Wii or 360" or "Will you get a PS3" thread.

A lot of the responses had been "I'm getting a PS3 when this game comes out" or "I'll get it sometime in the future".

And I remember an interview with Joystiq where Jack had said that it doesn't matter how fast a console sells. Sony made the PS3 to last and whether the consumer buys a PS3 now or later, the PS3 is still being bought and that's one sale down the road.

Development support stems from sales numbers, so selling early on is important.

That said, I will probably pick PS3 over 360, sometime in 2008.

I knew even before each console came out that I'd most likely get each at one point or another, so it's not just the PS3 for me any way.

I got the Wii for Super Paper Mario and I know I want Super Mario Galaxy, Endless Ocean, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and a few other games.

I got a 360 because of Gears, Halo 3, Nass Effect, Too Human, Blue Dragon and few other games.

And I know I'll be getting a PS3 for Lair and MGS4. I'd skip out if it were just Lair. I'm a big Metal Gear fan boy. But if Metal Gear goes to 360, I might actually just skip it if theres nothing that catches my attention.

I've always had my mind set on PS3, from the beginning, but with my non existent wallet, I can't afford one.

Doesn't explain the recent amount of support for the PS3. What was it... 3-4 major announcements at Playstation Premiere by seperate companies?

"Amount of support" meaning what exactly? If you mean being mentioned in dumb system wars, kinda silly.

Support in system wars is obvious. Dev support for the PS3 is what I'm talking about.

The PS3 needed games for it to be a good system. Its getting them in the near future. That's why lots of people want one now.

The only one you probably wouldn't like is Dynasty Warriors...

Koei - Dynasty Warriors 6
NamcoBandai - New IP Nobinobi Boy (Successor to Katamari)
Sega - New IP Valkyrie of the Battlefield
Nippon Ichi - Disgaea 3

And Sega has one more mystery title where he said "My Yakuza outfit is a hint." Speculations point to Shenmue 3.

Meh. I've already (re)bought a PS3 and I still don't have enough validation for the (now) 1.2K I've spent. Uuuggh. Silent Hill was a nice announcement. Sony still needs some ammunition to catch up to the 360.

With all the games that are comming out on the 360 i do not see a reason to get a PS3. I could see getting a Wii at a later date though.

Well the average consumer will not be getting a ps3 the price point is grately reduced. This has been proven that the majority of console sales come after the system has hit the mass market price point of $199. Until then don't expect dramatic sales from the ps3 as consumers know to wait till the big price cuts. And trust, they will wait until it hits $199.

Whats the difference between a trend and a fad? If there's no difference, I guess the Wii being a fad isn't a bad thing.

Nah then, don't see any of those as system seller type stuff that would drive developer support. On a side note, Dynasty Warriors lol

Funny how New IPs aren't system sellers when they haven't even gotten the chance.

Was Katamari a big seller? I mean those are probably all fine games, cept DW6, but its just not stuff that's gonna inspire people to spend 600 bux on the system.

Katamari started out as a surprising budget title that's pretty much sold out. You'd be lucky to find any prints other than ebay.
