Best Buy in UtahI've been going to my local Best buy for the last 2 weeks attempting to find a Wii. This post is not an attempt to say that the PS3 is not a good system because I think it is a great system when you look at its longevity and value and I will be purchasing one. I used to think it wasn't a good deal but when I actually really looked at it with an honest mind and heart, I came to the conclusions that although its very pricey, its a really good system and comes with a ton of great features. However, I will not be purchasing one until the price drops and more of its great games such as MG4 and others actually are released.

Back to my point. For the past two weeks I've noticed that my local Best Buy strangely had a large supply of PS3s for it being such a new and great system. I don't really think anything of it until I kept going back in day after day trying to find a Wii. I kept noticing that while I couldn't find a Wii and I found that xbox360's low in supply, the PS3 did not seem like it was moving at all. They had 25 Ps3 systems when I first went in and after a two week period, they still had 21 systems. I've heard rumors about the PS3 not selling well but this really made that point hit home. According to a recent study, Utah had per capita, the highest number of gamers in the USA.

If its not doing well here, I think its a good indicator of how its doing throughout the rest of the country. How its doing in Japan and the rest of the world, I have no clue. That really sucks for the PS3 because I think it will be a good system in time. But I cant remember a system, this early in it's life span, with such a good supply of system for sale, doing so poorly. Bye the way, I still haven't been able to find a Wii!!! sucks!!! Thoughts anyone? I took these pics with my camera phone.

The PS3 sales every where in the world are sucking rotten eggs.

The sales of PS3 will continue to be dismal for a long time.  There is not one game out there in the next 2 years that will save it from crappy sales.  If the PS3 can survive for at least 2 years, and has a drastic price reduction, then it might just have a chance.

Otherwise, it's most likely stuck in 3rd place.

It's not going to sell well with a $600 price tag, the Wii fad in full swing, massive anti-PS3/Sony propaganda, and a lack of stand out games. PS3 is a great system with a couple great games but it is definately not going to sell well until the fall games and/or a price drop. PS3 is in really good supply and that's a big part of the problem. The supply is far greater than current demand.... but if there were far less units (like 360) then they would be selling out. If Sony just bites the bullet and drops the price to move as many units as possible, PS3 is pretttymuch guarunteed to be #1.

as a major practice with retail if you have it fill it. what i mean is don't let the shelfs empty cause it looks ugly. if they receive 50 ps3's put them out on the shelfs when they sell replace what is sold with whats in the back room before you clock out. all retailers do this if they have the items. the 360 is not sending many shipments because there waiting for the Elite to come and have to make space for that so most stores stoped ordering 360's since there not really selling either. so if they sell they can't fill up the shelfs since they didn't order any. not saying thats what happend here but just cause a shelf is full doesn't mean the item doesn't sell. if you go to the grocery store and go buy beens you'll see the most expensive beans full to the brim and the cheap beans are almost empty. thats cause they order 1 case of the cheap beans and 20 cases of the expensive beans they do this to make more money.

I have a question for all of you die hard fanboys. What did Sony do to you personally that warrants this extreme hatred you're putting out there for their product? I seriously want to know. So far I have not seen ONE good reason for the hating. I would also like to inform you fanboys that MS nor Nintendo will compensate you for slandering Sony. So another question is, what do you have to gain from bashing them?

It's not so much as hating Sony as having fun with Sony Fanboys.  You see, Cows are delusional and say all sorts of uninformed stuff, or they think their PS3 is the king of the hill.  It's our job to give them a dose of reality, you know, give their precious little heads a shake.

Plus, Sony with all their console over promise the capablities of their systems, and we like to inform people that the PS3 can't do this or doesn't do this near as good as they state.  Educating the consumers one might say.  We are sort of like Robin Hood for the uninformed consumers.  Now can I have my cookie?

I am no Nintendo fanboy. I currently own a xbox360 and want to get a PS3 but only when the price drops. If you don't believe me, I will go back and make a video with my camera phone. Thats not a problem at all. I do not lie!

Considering the crazy price of the PS3, that's actually pretty good.

3 million, 600 a piece.  That's quite a bit of change.  I don't know if it's a huge profit for Sony, but it's definately not "sucking rotten eggs" as someone woud say.

3 days after ps3 launch in aus i went in to get a VC wii controller. the guy asked me to preorder it cause they get snapped up so fast though he believed that theyw ere going to start getting regular shipemtns soon. So curious about the ps3 i asked if they had any left... he said they had 1 or 2 left to sell.

Wii sold out first day, 3 days after launch ps3 is still there. Sure they sold preorders but havingthem still instock is... kinda bad for a launch?

Well actually it doesn't net them any profit seeing as each system is sold at a loss.

Not really, most systems are sold at a loss for the first year or two. I don't actually remember the last system besides the Wii that started out as selling for more then what it was worth. Accessories and software is where the money is made.

ok who ever is buying a PS2 in 2006 thru 2007 is not gonna buy a 360 there gonna buy the hundred of titles on the PS2 then when the PS3 drops in price there buy that no matter how long it takes they will wait. Sony has the Image and Namebrand. Xbox has the 16 thru 24 bracket on lock with it's over the top shooters and game like DOA extreme beach volley Ball. I saw a married couple when the PS3 was launching they looked recently Married and they were like so hyped about the PS3 and i couldn't see him buying an Xbox just for his gaming. it seemed more to me they wanted a PS3 for Blueray and games so it's kinda gonna be there media hub. i can already feel it, the PS3 is only getting more Free publicity from people than Xbox 360. Then MS releases the elite and thats like a joke hey guys wanna buy our HD model that doesn't do anything for the games but it does have 120 gig and is 120 cheaper than a PS3. oh but it doesn't play HD movies. why didn't MS just put the damn HD DVD drive in it and not put so much space that . had they made the elite 40 gigs with the HD DVD ,they would have won this already but there not so bold and there waiting to see who wins the Format war to actually put it in there system so they shows they have no confidence in there decisions. they decided to back up HD DVD but not give it any support? how is HD DVD gonna win over Blueray if theres no cheap HD DVD players out there.... Sony will win just on the Blueray alone. wether it be 2 years or 4 years from now when the majority of the houses have a HD TV they will buy a PS3 even if it's just for movies it will be enough to win just like the PS2 did.

Not all people are blind fanboys as you suggest, having a PS2 means nothing to many

[QUOTE="mazdero"]I have a question for all of you die hard fanboys. What did Sony do to you personally that warrants this extreme hatred you're putting out there for their product? I seriously want to know. So far I have not seen ONE good reason for the hating. I would also like to inform you fanboys that MS nor Nintendo will compensate you for slandering Sony. So another question is, what do you have to gain from bashing them?greg_splicer

It's not so much as hating Sony as having fun with Sony Fanboys. You see, Cows are delusional and say all sorts of uninformed stuff, or they think their PS3 is the king of the hill. It's our job to give them a dose of reality, you know, give their precious little heads a shake.

Plus, Sony with all their console over promise the capablities of their systems, and we like to inform people that the PS3 can't do this or doesn't do this near as good as they state. Educating the consumers one might say. We are sort of like Robin Hood for the uninformed consumers. Now can I have my cookie?

you do know ps2 is still selling right ? sony is still on top whether you like it or not fanboy. and also i would like you to inform us how the 360 is doing outside of america, oh let me save you the effort... they are failing everywhere but america. you cant win the console war if you only win one region.

dude,we know that the ps2 is good.we more of think what the ps3 is bad because of a high price and lack of good games

ok who ever is buying a PS2 in 2006 thru 2007 is not gonna buy a 360 there gonna buy the hundred of titles on the PS2 then when the PS3 drops in price there buy that no matter how long it takes they will wait. Sony has the Image and Namebrand. Xbox has the 16 thru 24 bracket on lock with it's over the top shooters and game like DOA extreme beach volley Ball. I saw a married couple when the PS3 was launching they looked recently Married and they were like so hyped about the PS3 and i couldn't see him buying an Xbox just for his gaming. it seemed more to me they wanted a PS3 for Blueray and games so it's kinda gonna be there media hub. i can already feel it, the PS3 is only getting more Free publicity from people than Xbox 360. Then MS releases the elite and thats like a joke hey guys wanna buy our HD model that doesn't do anything for the games but it does have 120 gig and is 120 cheaper than a PS3. oh but it doesn't play HD movies. why didn't MS just put the damn HD DVD drive in it and not put so much space that . had they made the elite 40 gigs with the HD DVD ,they would have won this already but there not so bold and there waiting to see who wins the Format war to actually put it in there system so they shows they have no confidence in there decisions. they decided to back up HD DVD but not give it any support? how is HD DVD gonna win over Blueray if theres no cheap HD DVD players out there.... Sony will win just on the Blueray alone. wether it be 2 years or 4 years from now when the majority of the houses have a HD TV they will buy a PS3 even if it's just for movies it will be enough to win just like the PS2 did.

Not all people are blind fanboys as you suggest, having a PS2 means nothing to many

ok ... why would someone buy a PS2 in 2007? to play the PS2 games i can only assume. don't you think that if anyone was buying an Xbox new it's to play Halo 2 and other Xbox games right? in the future if they see a 360 cheap arn't they gonna buy one to upgrade so they can also play those games on it and the new ones. so your telling me people who buy ps2's in 2007 and after they buy games like FF12,MGS3,Okami,God of war and 2 arn't they at one point gonna wanna buy a PS3 when they see those franchises on it? hmm nahh your right there gonna wanna play Pokemon ....

The PS3 is not doing well anywhere and the Cows had better face that reality. ......

-$600

-No big AAA exclusive

-No 1080i support

-PSN is not XBOX Live

-Sixaxis has no rumble

-BluRay or HD DVD??? Why be forced to invest in one format?

Why do Sony fanboys think that the PS3 will suddenly start selling like crazy? Maybe if Sony bites the bullet and drops the price of the 60 GB to the 20 GB price or lower!!

It's not so much as hating Sony as having fun with Sony Fanboys.  You see, Cows are delusional and say all sorts of uninformed stuff, or they think their PS3 is the king of the hill.  It's our job to give them a dose of reality, you know, give their precious little heads a shake.

Plus, Sony with all their console over promise the capablities of their systems, and we like to inform people that the PS3 can't do this or doesn't do this near as good as they state.  Educating the consumers one might say.  We are sort of like Robin Hood for the uninformed consumers.  Now can I have my cookie?

 

so, you just do it to annoy people, and you have nothing to gain from it. Hmm, sounds pretty pointless. Fanboys in general are delusional, not just cows. yourself included.

I have another question, how can you educate someone with lies? Almost everything I see posted about the PS3 vs the 360 is a lie. How can you possibly say the 360 is better than the PS3 and vice versa this early in the game? For all you know, Sony can make good on their promises. Sony could end up king of the hill. Hell, the Wii could kill the both of them. You CAN'T know any of these things. You are just speculating. Fanboys force their opinions on everyone, how is that like being Robin Hood?

If you believe the 360 is better, that is YOUR opinion, but don't act like its a fact. You could find a fanboy from each side that will say theirs is the best. Again, opinion, NOT fact. I have yet to hear a good reason to bash Sony, and I doubt I ever will. By your own admission, Fanboys bash just to be doing something.

Oh and no, I ate your cookie.

I dont have the PS3, infact I praised it and said I was getting one. I just said I was alarmed of how bad it was selling at my local best buy. Geeesh!!!!

 

Comment was directed to all the fanboys that posted in your thread and fanboys in general, not to you ;)

I think it's funny that we don't even go by actual sales or even compare how PS3 is doing compared to 360 in the same time frame. we go by some average joe going to best buy and seeing they have more and he says oh it's selling like crap in USA, then all the lemming are like man yeah cows are getting owned hard hahahaha... or they say omg they droped the price for easter Sunday the PS3 is a flop in europe hahahahaha. then we bring up the fact that the 360 will get dscontinued in Japan way before it's life is over in america and europe and lemming say what does Japan have anything to do with us? fact is there the most important market since the devs live there.......

People hated just as bad on PS1 and PS2, why should this time be any different? PS3 will be just fine. Contrary to what the 360 fanboys say, it ain't going anywhere.

Right after Christmas, I tried to find a Wii. Went to the usual stores the BB, CC, Targets... There were stacks of Ps3s in every Target I went to. I own one, but it was depressing to know that I could have sold one on launch day for upwards of $3000 on EBAY, and all I have played up to that point had been RFoM and UL. Other games I owned I could have bought for that other system.

Ten years of getting owned by the Playstation has created some very bitter and angry sheep.

Can you blame them? The first sign of victory after 10 years of major foot stompage would make any sheep run to these extremes.

Its what happens when your top dog for so long. *shrug* Just look at America, everyone use to love us...now...not so much so...

Sony is in the same position Nintendo was in when they launched the 64.  Complacent, they rested on their laurels too much.  Now they are in a world of trouble, and it's obvious to anyone who has followed video gaming for more than a couple years.

That's a fair point.   They will survive, and hopefully learn from their missteps this generation.  I really don't want to see increasingly expensive Playstations.

PS saved the industry from Nintendo's cartridges and the Wii is saving the industry from Sony's blu ray haha. Circle of life.

The PS3 sales every where in the world are sucking rotten eggs.

The sales of PS3 will continue to be dismal for a long time.  There is not one game out there in the next 2 years that will save it from crappy sales.  If the PS3 can survive for at least 2 years, and has a drastic price reduction, then it might just have a chance.

Otherwise, it's most likely stuck in 3rd place.
