PS3 is the Muhammad Ali of this gen.

Let me put things into perspective for the lemmings and sheep...

Muhammad Ali was the greatest, as in PSX and PS2. But we all know that he hit some bumps in the road. By this I mean refusing to be inducted into the armed services, stripped of his championship title, and losing the 'fight of the century' against Joe Frazier.

PS3 is currently losing it's ground. But considering it launched a year after X360 and went up against a much cheaper console, it's not doing that bad. Plus, with very limited Playstation franchises and exclusives, not bad at all. But Sony can't dance with the competition at the current pace forever...much like Ali knowing he couldn't dance with Foreman through the whole fight to put him back on the spot.

Ali invented 'The Rope-A-Dope' strategy that allowed Foreman to pound on him until Foreman tired. In the eight round, Ali came off the ropes and scored a shocking knockout! Ali was the king again. Sony has many tricks up it's sleeve. By this I mean powerhouse titles that simply can't be ignored by the gaming community. It's not a matter of if, but when, Sony will deliver the TKO. This gen is only 2 years underway, with possibly over 100 million gamer still on the fence.

Ali as you know had the biggest mouth of them all. If Ali were a video game console, he'd definately claim 1080p @ 120fps, dual hdmi and 4d graphics. But what mattered in the end? He delivered. Simple as that.

All hail the greatest console of this gen...

and all hail the greatest of all time!

I thought it was already established that the PS3 is the George Foreman [grill] of this generation.

ps3 suks ali suks, boxing suks, and you suk.amorbis1001

and you phail

The PS3 has parkinson's?Big_Gamer_Al

:lol: lol....But seriously comparing PS3 to Ali?:roll:

ps3 suks ali suks, boxing suks, and you suk.amorbis1001

Foreman Vs Lyle disagee.

Dude, the PS3 is in a terrible conundrum as of late, there is no reason to try and spin it, just deal widit.

if by ps3 is the muhammed ali of this gen, you mean ps3 is the failure of this gen, then yes, you are right. otherwise, no you are wrong. I don't even know how you could even draw this conclusion, your thinking astounds me.

comparing ali to a failure ...... THE HELL YOU THINKING :evil:Prid3r

Ali won the crown 3 times. Count em.. 1, 2, and now. PS3 is bound to win current gen if nothing else. I used Foreman as an example of his comeback. What are you thinking?

another comparison thread? really?
besides comparing a game system to a boxer/car/singer/trout doesnt do anything
is even worst than apples to oranges..

360 is Rocky then.

Are you implying that the PS3 will deliver 120 FPS, dual HDMI and 4D graphics. :|Vyse_The_Daring

No. Go back and read the last paragraph again.

a true gamer would see ps3 as a flop compared to Wii and Xbox 360 no matter how much it sells

didn't foreman recently accuse the people who organized the rumble in the jungle of putting something in his water bottle before what ended up being the last round?

wait, i found a link, http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2878507

Okay I'll agree with you in the current state it's a flop. All crystal balls aside, none of us know who will come out on top by next gen. I simply posted my prediction, based on history and the sheer amount of possible games in the future for the platforms.

edit- Not just total amount, but rather the specific games for each platform respectively. This, and based on the fact that PS3 is selling at a similar pace as 360 was this time last year with not many games. Tack on the Wii is leaving both in the dust now, and when I imagine the steam will run out for it. The Wii truely is remarkable, but I'm still thinking long term.

Again with the history repeats itself theory. People who say this seem to forget that Nintendo's 1st 2 consoles were successful yet the N64 flopped, hard. Sega had 2 relatively successful consoles, then came the Saturn and we all know what happened with that. If history repeats itself like fanboys like to predict then the PS3 would have disappeared off the map by now.

Muhammad Ali should be in prison for dodging Nam, what makes him more special than the 50,000 that died?Big_Gamer_Al

Marciano would have pwned Ali if they were in the same era. So I guess that makes 360 Marciano atm.neogeo419

Na, Marciano never fought in the greatest era of boxing, who did he fight? An old Joe Louis, Old Walcott, He couldn't of got near the quickness technical boxer of all time etc.

Ali/Clay fought the greatest, that's what makes him so special.

And the 360 is Pele.

He's scoring so many goals, so much so the competititon is playing dirty tactics against him.

:D I love this game.

He skipped 'Nam so that Fight Night would be available for us.

I think you mean Dreamcast. Sega lost due to their budget. We're talking about Sony here. Nintendo was still using a cartridge based console and needed more space. This is clearly not the problem with PS3. Sony built this thing for the future PLUS has the funds necessary to commit to it. Not only that, but the favor is in Blu-ray to win the format war. When this happens, the tides will turn even further. I'm not one to preach about Blu-ray, but it is something to consider.

Again, I'm speaking of long term. CD was long term. DVD was long term. Blu-ray is long term. Guess who used those formats?

Him and OJ are two scum bags that should be behind bars, if it was any of us that did what they did we would be behind bars or dead.

it still sold 30 million+ units (as much as the genesis). Sure it flopped in that nintendo lost their position in the industry, but nintendo had already lost much of that dominance to sega because of the genesis. The psone represented the culmination of the video game industry that was moving away from nintendo because of their arrogance in the NES days.

still 30 million+. If nintendo's story is riches to rags to riches, you have to admit the dark days weren't ever that bad. The saturn and the dreamcast sold about 10 million each.

Are you 2 completely stupid? Why the hell would you fight for your country when you are treated worse than you enemy?

They had no right to ban him from boxing, its funny how all the yanks try to ignore that and now they praise him to high heaven.

Do some research, your ignorance fails.

You're a idiot

You may just get reported for that.

In any case, that's all you could come up with?

The reason he was cocky was to draw money to get people to watch it, he use to put bums on seats, people would turn up to watch him get knocked out, but he was so good he could say those things and predict rounds he would knock his opponent out in.

It's like wrestling; you need a heel and a face to draw the crowd.

Playstation= Micheal Jackson

The playstation use to be popular then it didn't know what it was doing and changed away from something we loved.
