as we know in system wars everyone hates Sony, and thier main reason is that they cost more..But right now lets say the PS3 has sold 1.5 million consoles..which I really dont know how its bad since it is only rleased in Japan and NA.But the Wii has sold 4 million to all areas,you have to think...if the PS3 had a worldwide launch like the Wii would it be the same sales figures as now?

Now to the games, as we all know Sonys main concentration for games is 2008..but thier a lot of quality titles in 2007. And imo they are betters than the Wiis

Wiis 2007 lineup- http://wii.ign.com/index/release.html

So is Sony really doing as bad as system wars thinks?

If PS3 launched world wide I garuntee you that there'd only be a little more than 100k in each region. Mass hysteria ensues. Anyway, PS3 is only revving its engine right now. PS2 and PS1 were doing really bad at this point in their life cycles as well.

It's certainly behind.

The Europe launch will be the PS3's second wind, but if it can't close the gap between itself and it's competitors in the next 2-3 months then yes we can probably start saying for certain that it's failing.  If they don't get themselves in shape for the next Xmas rush they are pretty much screwed.

Sony isnt doing nearly as bad as sw makes it out to be.

the sheep are really insecure, they dont want to come last again. so they act like the wii sales mean that its the greatest thing ever, when in reality, it has easily the worst gaming lineup. true story.

Yeah, 'cause the PS3 sold 1.5 million consoles between the US and Japan, it's logical to think it might have sold 2.5 million in Europe...   :roll:

Of the major markets where sales can actually be calculated - yes.

Unless you want to throw in 50k consoles from Australia...   ...would that make a difference? :?

The PS3 has to outsell the X360 9 to 1 right nowe just to catch up, if it doesn't start making up ground soon, and I doubt it only so many people will throw $600 away, it will be considered failing.

the Wiis lineup SO FAR is pretty bad. but it trumps PS3s lineup. lol cows are the ones in denial. none of the systems had amazing launch games (except maby Zelda and Resistance) but PS3 has like no decent games out. the Wiis VC right now is better than PS3s lineup. the PS3s games so far are a disgrace to gaming. but again noe of the consoles have particularly awesome game lineups so far this gen

I'm sorry that you haven't seen all these lemmings threads bashing the ps3 and saying it will come last. I remember lemmings laughing and bashing the ps3, eventhough a lot of sheep did too.

Like someone said above, its faultering, not failing. I honestly don't think the PS3 can be failing until after this coming Xmas season when all three systems are in direct competition with each other and their biggest titles.

One thing I can honestly say is that the PS1 and PS2 never, ever had the bad word of mouth both by gamers and the press that the PS3 has and that's a huge reason its not selling well, along with the fact that is is just to expensive for a video game system and has no killer aps out right now or even in the foreseeable (read six months) future. The PS3 is simply not as entertaining as the Wii, no as next gen or has the killer gaming lineup as the 360. Thats why sales are down. Sony created a system that wasn;'t designed with developers in mind, as well as trojan horsed their Blu-ray inside it, causing the price to be ridiculous.

All in all the PS3 isn't failing, but it is faltering. The problem is with every month that passes the PS3 gets closer to failing because public opinion on it, as well as the press is low. The games aren't all that great and their lineup this year is very suspect. They better pray to God Killzone can stand toe to toe with Halo 3 or this Christmas season they will be in deep trouble. Nintendo has Mario and MS has Halo. Who will champion Sony through this holiday season?

Right now the PS3 line-up isn't overcoming its price.  It's a slight problem when people have to view buying a console as an investment as opposed for fun.  Fact or opinion, what does it really matter?  The primary concern in any business is making money.  Untill the PS3 actually passes the Wii in number of consoles sold it is behind, and that is actually a fact.

not everyone buys a new console simply because it exists.

PS3 has now sold over 2.0 million. Heres my opinion if sony can get 1 huge mega super hit game like Gears of war or Halo 3. Or say Killzone 2 ends up playing and looking like the trailer. They could defintly save them selfs. Just 1 of those Huge online shooters and there saved in my opinon.

PS3 has now sold over 2.0 million. Heres my opinion if sony can get 1 huge mega super hit game like Gears of war or Halo 3. Or say Killzone 2 ends up playing and looking like the trailer. They could defintly save them selfs. Just 1 of those Huge online shooters and there saved in my opinon.StarFoxCOM
I agree

If you want more facts, here's some:  The Wii has appeared on the Conan O'Brien Show, The Colbert Report.   It has appeared in farm more news stories than the PS3.  The story about the retirement home having a Wii bowling tournament goes to show the power of a single game to move perhaps one of the most immovable demographics when it comes to video games.  Physical trainers have become intrested in seeing the potential of the Wii in being used for fitness programs.  Doctors have pushed to see the potential of having the Wii used for physical and mental therapy, especially for those who have limited motion, or have very limited stamina due to accidents/treatment regiems.

The main reason might be Wii Sports for now, but the doors are open to a lot of other fields.

[QUOTE="Illumination77"][QUOTE="shadow_lord_11"]Sony isnt doing nearly as bad as sw makes it out to be.

the sheep are really insecure, they dont want to come last again. so they act like the wii sales mean that its the greatest thing ever, when in reality, it has easily the worst gaming lineup. true story.

ps3 is being outsold by 3-1 on its home turf of Japan. So I wouldnt hold out too much hope for those japanease exclusives...

not everyone buys a new console simply because it exists.

dont underestimate the impact the realease of games like MGS4 and FF will have on ps3 sales

The Japanese did when the PS2 was first released...

...do you know what the #1 seller was for that system at the time?

as we know in system wars everyone hates Sony, and thier main reason is that they cost more..But right now lets say the PS3 has sold 1.5 million consoles..which I really dont know how its bad since it is only rleased in Japan and NA.But the Wii has sold 4 million to all areas,you have to think...if the PS3 had a worldwide launch like the Wii would it be the same sales figures as now?

Now to the games, as we all know Sonys main concentration for games is 2008..but thier a lot of quality titles in 2007. And imo they are betters than the Wiis

PS3 2007 Lineup- http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html
Wiis 2007 lineup- http://wii.ign.com/index/release.html

So is Sony really doing as bad as system wars thinks?poopinloop32

Comparing to 360, yes it does bad, it is more expensive, has far less interesting games announced and far less new IP's, about same graphics, gets games 360 had a year back, some looking worst too, Oblivion without AA and HDR etc etc

I would not call that a bargain really, i am in the fence to get one in a month in Europe, but i tried to find those games to make me get one, and i see that i had better invest in games like Mass Effect and Bioshock, Halo 3, Lost Planet, Lost Odyssey on 360 than get PS3 now, i will save and get it first thing in 2008

I agree that the PS3 needs more advertising...but they did a smart move doing it for the NBA All-Star weekend

It hasn't even launched in Europe and none of it's real games are even dated yet. How can it be "dead"? : l

teh truth

teh opinion

How can Sheep being insecure of themselves be an opinion?

he ment the lineup.

While i hate to say it as a wii owner i'd agree. I do like all 3 next gen systems I have a wii. Getting a 360 later this year and i'll get a PS3 probably after a year of getting my 360. so it would be around late 2008. But it is hard to say that in away i mean wii has differnt types of games. That aren't any thing like 360s. But Nintendo is getting waay better 3rd party support here are some 3rd party games of the top of my head.

SSX blur

Madden 07

Sonic and the Secert rings

The bigs

MOH vanguard

Mortal Kombat Armmegedon

POP RS

Nintendo has hardly done any advertisting for the level of media attention they are getting.  The PS3's abstract and non-sensical TV adverts does not inspire confidence.  When I see them it's more of a WTF moment as opposed to "Wow, that's impressive."
