ps3 seems to be gathering momentum

Am I alone in thinking this? Over the past few weeks representatives of every segment of the gaming industry -- print and web based news sites, devs and pubs and retailers -- have heaped praise on the PS3, including former PS3-basher Cliffy B.

It makes perfect sense for the industry to support Sony in this, no one wants to give up the Playstation cashcow. But I've no clue whether this is a claculated PR scheme or genuine analysis. I honestly can't see any serious analyst seeing Home as a major plus for a gaming console and that's been the only major Sony announcement; but otoh the screens for upcoming PS3 titles are droolworthy.

Either way, vocal 360 partisans better watch out, you might be eating a lot of crow in a year.

ps3 sux, it has no games!dannyc9

The PS3 will be fine after the first year. The 360 didn't have alot going on the first year either. Right now I am playing the PS3 more than the 360. I think both of those consoles will have great futures.BastardlyRhyme

yes coz the 25% of the PS3's  on the market still scream momentum. Lets get this straight momentum is sales and PS3 is no where near the momentum of the PS2, DS, GBA.

the thing that will constantly stop it from gaining really good momentum is the price tag. not alot of average consumers can see the difference bewteen it and the 360, other than the price tag and the online which both favor MS.

I honestly think at the most the PS3 will sell 8 million this year and 40 million at most for its lifespan.

Either way, vocal 360 partisans better watch out, you might be eating a lot of crow in a year.

I think its good there finally getting there act together. It seems like they are actually trying to make things fun now. While I still think Home is damn close to useless atleast they didnt try to copy live and went there own direction and by the time they get every thing running it to where you can play a game with your friend strait from it, it will be great. Also LBP is looking really fun im glad there making new games now and not relying on sequels. If they keep going this way ill have to buy a ps3 next year.

To me, the point is the average person who walks in a store and looks at a PS3 will think the same thing that they did pre-GDC, that it is an overpriced machine with nothing appealing about it other than its pretty visuals.REVOLUTIONfreak

uh...with the cancellations following the ps3, i'd wait until you actually play them before saying you are able to play them...;)

besides, the ps3 gets the worse versions of multiplats anyway.... too hard to develop for...

Well. Most here are talking units sold. I'm more interested in the impact of the industry as a whole supporting PS3. I'm not saying that's the case, yet, and the raw numbers still work against Sony; but we seem to be heading in that direction. 360 sold 10 million and cross-platform games have always looked better on 360 than PS3. And yet there are *already* (by my rough count) more analysts predicting PS3 victory than 360.

Do you guys think that won't impact units sold? I for one do think it will have an impact. Combine the brand name, which is now synonymous with gaming; with Sony's convergence with its tv division; with the most recognizable franchises not named Halo; with the seemingly inevitable triumph of Blueray (HDDVD cannot win with zero adverts in the face of a Blueray PR avalanche) -- combine all of this with the gaming industry, from news editors to devs to retailers, declaring PS3 the console to own. To me that looks like an insurmountable hurdle for Nintendo or MS.

This is an abstract issue for me I should note, I have both 360 and PS3. Even if I had only 360, where I spend 99.9% of my gaming time, still wouldn't bother me if PS3 dominated, the already announced list of 360 titles is more than I have time to play.

Since when was Cliffy B. a fanboy? Fail.MegaPigeon

Dude. First Cliffy declared that PS3 cannot run Gears, which was transparently false as Cliff well knew, since the engine that drives Gears will be featured on PS3 with supposedly even better graphics and physics (UT3). And then when he accepted one of the awards for Gears, he ripped PS3's online with Harrison right there on the stage with him, in front of a live audience. That was cold.

Not saying Cliffy is a fanboy, the man is a gaming god; but he has been a PS3 basher for sure. A few days ago he did heap praise on PS3 though, shortly after the Epic CEO said PS3 will win the cycle. Maybe Cliff got a memo.
