PS 3 is doing just fine!!!!

The "big deal" is that despite this the 360 and Wii are continually outselling it.Cali3350

But the 360 has been out for a year and has its first Killer App, and the Wii is marketed really well and is generally really cool in many ways.

Like we said, the PS3 is actually selling better than the 360 did in the same time frame since launch. Therefore, it's hardly failing. If it gets a killer app like Lair or HS or (heaven forbid) KZ2, it may be catapulted beside or near the Xbox 360.

It's definitely not out of the running yet. 

It's that they promised so much, and so far have delivered very little. Plain and simple, there is less value in it than the hundred dollar cheaper console, and maybe the 350 dollar cheaper one as well. whoisryanmack

If they can dupe the public long enough to get their ducks in a row, it might turn out alright.

It's all might, though. "Might" is the key word. And given Sony's recent PR performance, do any of us really think that they can pull it off?

I expect the games to save it's credibility somewhat. The PS3 CPU strength is bound to produce something impressive eventually.  Sony will never get back the cred they lost on hardware hype (it might be good, but not "4d" good) with the hardcore fans imo. We'll see.

TC ban dodger?

*EDIT* nope just is new to the forums I guess

I'll be getting a new 42" LCD monitor (1080p of course) and a PS3 soon.MantiCore2K8

What cred? Sony hasn't had hardware cred since the PS2 launch. Honestly, hype is a permeated part of the advertising business. You aren't supposed to believe what someone tells you what their product can do, but you just want to get caught up in the excitement and buy it anyway. Except Sony promised Mars when they should have just promised the Moon.

When your price reflects your claim, the claim better be true. Thats it. There is no reason to own a PS3 if it isnt better than a 360. As of now, it isnt close.

As for Sony hardware hype, I didn't mean to imply Sony was on some type of pedestal already. I mean the attitude toward PS3 will never be quite the same as it could have been...for hardcores anyhow. The disparity between was what supposed to be and what is is large. Not to mention constant disappointments to this point regardless of sales numbers.

Soon as the PS3 gets a price drop and FF13, im picking me up one.

Most people seem to feel the same way, so it's only a matter of time tell the PS3 picks up it's sale's big time.

I feel exactly the same way, i would not get one now, that is 1000% sure

The big deal is there's a lot of dumber people who buy the Wii instead. casey7672

dumber people? If i am a dumber person then so be it cause i am in good company. The numbers are against you. 

"and it has done better then the PS1 and 2 in the same amount of time during there lunches"

I didn't know videogame systems ate lunch.

According to a feature in GameInFormer (the june issue) called "game informer answers the big questions".The PS3 has sold more systems in 3 month's then xbox 360 and it has done better then the PS1 and 2 in the same amount of time during there lunches. So what's with all the negativity? According to GameInFormer "The media are plain stupid" .mj53916

you mean during the time that the ps1 and ps2 were only released in japan? shady statistics huh? ;) 

Sony is looking to lose a ton of market share.

Sure, GI, the PS3 is doing just fine... 

Actually, the 360 was sold out for the first 4 or so months after launch, thats why the PS3 outsold it, fact remains though, the PS3 is dead last right now and the Wii is kicking the crap out of both the other 2 consoles.

If the ps3 was "just fine", Kuturagi would still have a job..;)

1. Here is the problem I have with that. Let me start out with I don't think Sony is doing fine and here is why
2. What does it matter if its selling better the PS1 and PS2? The market has expanded to ensure that the next gen systems will always sell more across the board. PS3 is competing against Wii and 360 not PS1 and PS2.
3. Its sold more system in 4 monthes then the 360 has in three monthes. Which also means nothing. Because 360 now is outselling PS3 now. Even if the PS3 has a better first year then 360 if the 360 keeps outselling the PS3 then what does it matter? PS3 needs to outsell what the 360 is selling now not what it was selling then.
4. Its not selling better then 360 in America and its getting whooped by Wii in America.
5. Its getting stomped into the ground by Wii in Japan. Sales of 10:1 is not doing fine no matter how you spin it. 
6. Relinquishing dominance of Japan and Europe isn't good at all.

How the hell can anyone say Sony is doing fine? Sure they aren't failing but this is bad people.

Agree completely
