PS3 shouldn't have been released, Sony should have continued with the PS2.

While the PS3 is bombing, the PS2 is still the second most selling console this year!

Sony should have continued to support the PS2 and they could had just held back the PS3.

The PS3 is just way too expensive and support is way too little to have it released at this time.

Sony could have waited a couple of years before releasing the PS3, when it's cheaper to produce and it has more people backing it up.

Anybody realized this?

If SONY realeased PS3 in 2 years time then would certainly fail -- devlopers would spend 1 year getting used to it and thier would be no incentive to put exclusives on it ...

No console could survive being realeased half-way through a generation ... eventually PS2 will die and PS3 will be thier already turning a profit to continue on ....

That certainly isn't the real war. The real war is affordable next gen hardware. Sony is badly losing that war.

If they had waited a year, they could have likely blown away the 360 in the graphics department. They could have also had games ready.

I think Sony really wanted to secure a place in the market, with the 360 and all. If they had waited the 360 could've sold quite a bit more, the patience of gamers only go so far. Just my opinion.

Almost. They wanted to use Playstation3 sales to show Bluray dominance over HDDVD(effectively killing HDDVD and bringing in Bluray royalties) and then focus on the Console war.

That's probably why they're losing the battle in the VIDEO GAME market. Let's go into a console war and try to convince everyone to start using a certain brand of toothpaste...then let's focus on video games....smart plan.:?

I forget but didn't Sony release PS2 in japan only at first for the first 6 months? If so then that is nothing to brag about for PS3. For a console sold worldwide to be selling same or less then a console sold in the smallest of the 3 main markets is nothing great.

The PS2 was launched about 7 years ago :lol:

That's almost a decade. So so be doing as well now as the PS2 did at launch is bad because the market has grown considerably since then. You fail

I think you are the only onewho realizedthat buddy. That is like saying Nintendo should have keep supporting the Gamecube, it is basically that same thing with an upgraded controller!

the bluray/hd-dvd war is the more important war for them, since it would provide countless billions of dollars more to them if bluray does win, which is looking more likely these days.

If they waited a year, the costs could have been down by launch, it would have a stellar launchlibrary, and maybe they could have had some newer tech.

oh, and the ps3 is doing worse than the ps2. The sales are roughly equal, but the ps2 was supply constrained, while the ps3 almost never was.

And too bad that gamers are being used by sony as nothing more but marketers for their blu-ray. Pathetic

The biggest ownage is the PS2 was sold out everywhere when it came out. The PS3 has only sold as much as the PS2 but you can find them everywhere. With a bigger gaming market and no supply problems that shows a HUGE lack of demand for the PS3 vs. PS2 no matter how the fanboys try to spin it that its selling "just as well"

To add salt to the wound. The Wii still cant be found in stores and has virtually doubled the PS3's sales. Lets see someone spin that! :lol:

Doubled? Seeing as the Wii is selling the PS3 5 to 1, you would think sales would have quintrupled!
