From what Ive seen of the ps3s sales, games and online service i feel it will meet the same fate as the dreamcast.  Except the dreamcast actually had more than 1 or 2 original titles.  You look at the innovation of the wii and the solidity of the 360 the ps3 to me seems like a computer hooked up to a tv.

How is the PS3 anything like the Dreamcast?

It had a steallar launch lineup... a stupendous online service... easy to pirate games... it had EVERYTHING!

If anything, the PS3 is just going to do horribly compared to the PS2.

Dude .... the PS3 is STILL NEW! Sony will be fine. The PS2 is still selling great, and as soon as Blu Ray continues to get more popular and the players go down in price, the PS3 will follow. PS3 is just getting started and their big time games are yet to be released.

I think PS3 won't sell as much as PS2, but it won't do horribly compared to PS2. I see it selling about 75 Million after 10+ years of consistant WW sales. I see it beating out Wii and Xbox 360 BUT the numbers will be much more even this round.

I'd say the Xbox 360 is more of a Dreamcast. PS3 is more like the 3DO. And Wii is the virtual boy.

You expect the PS3 to last 10 years!? :lol:

Sony is going to be releasing the PS4 as quickly as possible to make up for drastic errors they made with the PS3. One being the price.

Even the PS2 support is going to die out soon. It will likely only last as long as the PS did after the PS2 came out.

The PS3 is still new, but if sony doesn't get out of this downslide soon, they will become the next dreamcast.

PS2 has been selling for 7+ years and is still going strong. I see it going for 3 or 4 more years.

Do the math.

Sony supports thier consoles for the long run. PS3 is built for the long-term and Sony has positioned it's strategy around that idea from the begining of it's conception.

Okay, people, history lesson.

 

Sega: Started having troubles at genesis, they were doing good till they started slaping stuff on like the 32x and cd, still most people didn't mind. Then the Saturn came out, back then KB toys was a huge dealer, when they didn't recieve their shipments from sega they said they wouldn't be selling saturns, because i guess they were childish. Then the saturn turned out to be less then satisfing in both sales and games. The dreamcast came out years later as segas last bit of hope to get out of their financial troubles, due to their entire reputation being destroyed, the dreamcast didn't sell very well and sega went down to being a 3rd party dev.

 

PS3: Sony runs it, currently in no financial trouble, no reason to call it dead, still being sold.

Ask yourself:Why would Sony go through all this trouble of future proofing the Ps3 if they only intended to support it for 5 years? Sony have a master plan that if revealed,would shake up the gaming community. I can assure you,8 years from now,whilst the 360 will no longer be in stores and Nintendo will be 3rd party developers,the Ps3 will be selling like hotcakes.

I'm pretty sure that nobody can say MGS4 is coming to the 360. What, do you own a crystal ball?

Please explain,is it because he has spoken the truth,or because you refuse to accept that the Playstation is the strongest brand in videogaming and is still selling units regardless of price,games,etc.?

Kojima just said today that the 360 cant handle MGS4,so it's a no-show on Microsofts console dude. The 360 is a good console,but they need more variety in games to convince me to consider it as competition fro Sony's Ps3.

really?

are you from the future? Because I could have sworn that we were only in this gens. first year?

I love how Nintendo and Xbox fanboys jump the gun WAY too early.

It will just make the end of this gen. THAT much more satisfying when PS3 emerges as the winner.

You all are missing this ^^ RIGHT HERE ^^ None of the companies but nintendo could be "Dreamcasted" because at the moment all are doing financially well, and its doubtful nintendo will either because they are making crazy profit, i just listed them because they aren't a multiproduct super company.

The only game I remember coming out for PS after the PS2 came out was some Beyblade game...

The PS came out in 1995. The PS2 in 2000. The PS3 in 2006. If the PS lasted 10 years... then why did we not have PS games coming out when PS2 games like SotC and God of War came out?

I agree,the Ps2 will be here for atleast 2 more years,3rd party devs know there's still alot of money that can be made from the system. The Ps3 is futureproof,thus,it can last for 5-7 years whilst still being ahead of the "competitors".

Okay, people, history lesson.

 

Sega: Started having troubles at genesis, they were doing good till they started slaping stuff on like the 32x and cd, still most people didn't mind. Then the Saturn came out, back then KB toys was a huge dealer, when they didn't recieve their shipments from sega they said they wouldn't be selling saturns, because i guess they were childish. Then the saturn turned out to be less then satisfing in both sales and games. The dreamcast came out years later as segas last bit of hope to get out of their financial troubles, due to their entire reputation being destroyed, the dreamcast didn't sell very well and sega went down to being a 3rd party dev.

 

PS3: Sony runs it, currently in no financial trouble, no reason to call it dead, still being sold.

No finicial trouble sony is up the creek without a paddle, errr lets see they managed to take one of thier only profitable divisions and turn it into the biggest lossing division, which is the games division. Sony bet the farm on the PS3's success. They won't die if the PS3 doesn't sell, but if it doesn't sell you won't see another console out of them for along time. I don't know I think the sony has stalled they will have to drop the price on the PS3 in order to move them at any rate close to the 360 or the WII. Also if they do drop the price what is to say the 360, and the WII don't drop thier prices.

[QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"]PS lasted for 10 years.

PS2 has been selling for 7+ years and is still going strong. I see it going for 3 or 4 more years.

Do the math.

Sony supports thier consoles for the long run. PS3 is built for the long-term and Sony has positioned it's strategy around that idea from the begining of it's conception.

foxhound_fox



The only game I remember coming out for PS after the PS2 came out was some Beyblade game...

The PS came out in 1995. The PS2 in 2000. The PS3 in 2006. If the PS lasted 10 years... then why did we not have PS games coming out when PS2 games like SotC and God of War came out?

are we talking about games or how long the console is manufactured and selling?

we are talking about console sales. PS lasted for 10 years on the market. Period.

Sega was different then sony in every way. I see what you are saying but if sony is anything like microsoft they apparently won't care if their gaming devision is losing money. I love your enthusiasm, but i just can't see sony dropping out of the console race for a while, hell, maybe the ps3 will be their last system for a while but it may be near the end of its life before they do that. Too many angry customers would hurt sony much more then anything else if they cut its life support too soon.

Actually PSP has seen a large spike in sales recently, and now there is a price drop so i can imagine it getting even better.

Now I know I am being a little forward... but do you have proof? I do not remember being able to buy a PS a couple years ago. I do not even remember being able to buy phat PS2 a little while after the slim was released.

The 2007 360 RPG list is quite good, even you have to admit that, Forza 2 is coming out aswell, also banjo threeie.
