How is that possible?! The sales are terrible... and its 2007 it has NO good games yet!!!! All of the PORTS are bug infested! Bluray isn't selling as good as HD-DVD. Who cares about Japan's sales?

I thank god every single DAY that I bought an XBOX and HD-DVD player.

I dont think sony would close there gaming doors.Even though im not a big ps3 fan i really liked the ps1 and ps2 and id like to see em stick around.Theyve made some obvious mistakes but the same can be said for nintendo and microsoft.There all gonna have there highs and lows but its best if they all three stick around to keep things competative and to keep them on there toes.Nintendo has made a huge comeback this year and lets face it sonys not a light weight in the gaming industry.I dont own a ps3 right now because there just a little bit too expensive and there arent very many good games available,but that doesnt mean its always gonna be that way.I like my 360 better than the other consoles at the moment and i also have a wii that can be lots of fun but thats not to say ill never own a ps3.When they get the price down and get some games out ill probably own a ps3 as well.I dont have any brand loyalty and it would be great if we could all discuss games instead of fighting over who has the better console.

Who cares? To each his own. I own a 360 and a PS3. I will admit that there really isnt much for the PS3 but I remember the same drought with my 360. Anyone remember before Gears, nothing really ever came out? The PS3 isnt even a year old yet.

I love them both, but the PS3 is a far better DVD player than the 360 could ever be IMO. I would take the 360 controller over the PS3 any day. Im pumped about some games coming soon.

Why would you want the PS3 to flop anyways? Less competition means less innovation. Lets look at EA and no other competition with NFL games... That would suck if there was less competition for systems.

There is no way Sony would discontuine the PS3. What about the 100 million people that havent bought a new console yet? Average people will not pay $700 for a gaming system. When the prices go down to a reasonable level expect a spike in sales on both sides.

why do people say this. it seems as if people want the ps3 to fail because they know the ps3 will succede. It been 10 months the ps3 is still selling even with medicore games, no killer game and at a very high price. what will happen when more games out or with another price drop. calling it a flop makes you look stupid. if your going to call the ps3 a flop you better back it up with facts.

How long did Ps2 go? I know my brother got it while I was in 5th grade and Im currently in 11th grade and I know it was around for atleast 2 years before it was in my house so its been going for a good 8 years and its still going strong so probably not untill 2015 or somewhere along then.

u pretty much need to give it up dude. I know u have ur little 360 cause u like to follow ur little lem friends in school and then u try to make a thread to try to be a bad a&& in system wars but u just did the total opposite. unoriginal threads like this calls for unoriginality and u fall right in it.

The Ps3 isnt really a flop Subzero. It has several mediocre but fun games out now (Motorstorm, Resistence, Lair) and it has some great titles coming out in the coming months, Im sure. Just because its not beating our beloved 360 doesnt mean its a flop.

Vasichko

Sounds very fair and balance. My friend has a PS3 and it is a great system, the games will come in time. I also agree about the controller, the 360 is way better IMO.

I think everything has worked out perfectly. 360 took the lead getting out earlier and is the console to own for now if you can only get one. In another year or so, owning a PS3 will be far more worth it than it is now. Blue ray is gaining traction, I can't believe that some Xbox fanboy would suggest it's trailing HD-DVD but I guess people will say anything. Ironically the extreme cost of blue ray will probably keep PS3 in third place for a while but down the stretch it will be a real advantage.

I'm expecting Microsoft is very happy with where they are. They probably through a party when they found GTA4 is delayed as that leaves Halo 3 the only real big Media grabber... GTA4 would have certainly stolen some of that thunder and perhaps many PS2 owners would have jumped to PS3 at that point.

Sony's taken it in the teeth for sure but I think by Christmas 2008 it will be doing better.

you have to wonder how much of ps3's current sales are based on its brand recognition, and how much longer that brand recognition will hold. My guess is that the majority of ps3 sales are because of brand recognition, and that this advantage will never go away. Just like nintendo, which never really lost its core gamers, i think. Me anyway

The PS3 will not be discontinued until this gen is over with. Even if for some reason the PS3 sales drop off dramatically and it tanks horribly, Sony will most likely support it until they can bring another console to the market. Why? Because they know the worst thing that can happen to a company in the mass market is to be forgotten about by the consumers.
