still think the ps3 is lossing less money then 360. i mean MS lost that billion last month thanks to RROD and they keep cuting the price so there loseing more money on each one sold, and all the money on promoting halo3.

what makes you think that its not? alot of people loved the series from ps2, what makes you think that they wont buy a ps3 for R&C?

Why don't you explain why over 400k people who bought RC1 didn't buy RC2.

And then explain why almost 300k people who bought RC2 didn't buy RC3.

And when you're done that, explain why at least 1.17 million who bought RC3 didn't buy Ratchet Deadlock.

ratchet & clank is the ps3's biggest killer app for the holiday season

whichmeans that sales-wise, the ps3 is in DEEP trouble......becasue its going against two of the biggest killer app franchisesin the video game market - halo and super smash bros....against those two, ratchet and clank doesn't stand a chance

Albanian_Killa

UTIII (don't say PC because not all PCs are gaming rigs), HAZE, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold Collector's Edition, Hot Shots Golf 5, Folklore, Ratchet and Clank, Singstar, Uncharted. Is that enough for a few months until 2008?

yes, i will say PC forUTIII....because UT III is also available on the PC and will sell more copies on the PC....meaning that it won't be a PS3 killer app

the rest don't stand a chance when pitted against SSB and halo

Those were titles that will hold people until the real system sellersarrive. Man, you people don't read?

please re-read my original post (ie. the post you responed to), and your'll see that it was about how the PS3 doesn't have killer apps THIS holiday season.......so suggesting anything about 2008 is irrelevent to this conversation

so you agree that the PS3 has no killer apps this holiday season?

good. end of discussion.

I didn't buy Killzone 1 and am getting Killzone 2. There are millions of people like me, and I know tons of people who are dieing to play the game and some don't own PS3s.

That doesn't make sense. How can there be "millions" of people like you if (again) Killzone 1 sold less than 500k world wide.

You need to read what he wrote. He said he DIDN'T buy Killzone 1.

A lot of people didn't buy KZ1. That's my point. ;)

It has killer-apps, but not system sellers compared to 2008 titles.

Lair? Warhawk? Heavenly Sword? the PS3 price drop?

Even I started to believe a little bit of the hype, but as it turns out, the PS3 still cant even pass the 360 in monthly NA sales (which doesnt bode well when considering Halo 3 is coming out in Sept, and the the 360 is getting a price drop of its own) but worst of all, PS3's exclusives are flopping left right and center. What's more, the Wii is absolutley freakin crushing everything in sight.

The 360 and the Wii are getting big games this Christmas that are gauranteed to deliver huge sales (Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Galaxy, Brawl, MP3) and big scores. I don't think it's wise to put the same faith in Sony's offerings at this point.

Just like Sony though.... overhyping and under-delivering....

as usual.

While I completely agree with you on the NPD statement, only GameSpot's score count here.

"...In an article detailing the overall parts cost for the PS3, iSupply reveals that Microsoft is no longer losing money on the Xbox 360. Last year, the company reported that Microsoft lost $126 dollars on every 360 sold. Due to a reduction in overall component costs, iSupply estimates that it now costs Microsoft $323.30 per Premium Xbox 360 manufactured. Thus, Microsoft actually earns $75.70 on each unit sold...." - LINK

Honestly, I'm incredibly disappointed. Phil Harrison failed me in a big way. The first party titles were supposed to rush in and saturate the market in gaming goodness. That's literally Phil Harrison's obligation. He screwed up with Motorstorm, Genji, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword.

Although Lair isn't under his jurisdiction, it's failure is well noted by people skeptical of the Playstation 3. Literally, Phil Harrison's failure notes a seriously marked drop in interest in the Playstation 3.

In reality, I'm expecting the only decent first party titles coming out of Sony studios to be from the top tier, such as Corey Barlog, Insomniac, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, and Naughty Dog. Guerilla is a possibility, but it's primarily based on how much they've changed.

I'm extremely upset to learn how short all of these games are and how light they are on gameplay, regardless of their absolutely movie-busting production values. Heavenly Sword's got it in spades, but what the hell, where did the gameplay go? I'm just mind-numbingly irritated right now.

Then again, if Warhawk scores 8.5 or above, I'll restore some semblance of faith in these folks. Echochrome looks fantastic but it's not what people are looking for on PS3 (superb downloadable titles are a plus, and even bad ones aren't a minus...but little spruced up PC casual games with high particle counts and enhanced physics don't sell consoles).

The only game that I can say I have an extreme amount of faith in, knowing the developers and having played Resistance: Fall of Man, is Ratchet and Clank Future: ToD.

We'll see how it goes, but TC speaks the truth. Far too much floppage, far too much insanity as far as region-locked price drops.

Nice post. An honest opinion from a PS3 owner. I, too, started to buy-into the PS3 hype from E3 and was thinking about a purchase, but now I'll just wait to see what happens with MGS4 (score-wise and if it stays exclusive) and what KZ2 ends up being.

And his point was that he was going to get KZ2 even though he didn't get KZ1 and there were millions like him.

And where that assumption(ie: blatant exaggeration) is flawed is he's saying that the sequal to a game that sold less than 500k copies and didn't sell a $179 (at the time KZ1 it release) system is going to sell "millions" and move a $500 system.

Only a Sony fanboy can make sense of that and even then he'll dislocate his shoulder from all that reaching ;)

Well, say what you want, but the PS3 has been out for almost a year and its the same old song and dance. Cows hyped RFOM, Motorstorm, VF5, Lair, Warhawk, HS, and many others only to have each not meet expectations (ie - flop). What gives you hope that games like KZ2, Uncharted, and others will be any different? Seriously - what???

MGS4 looks like the real deal, though.

How can it make a 'comeback' when it was never on top in the first place noob? Oh, and this is the usual trend for a Playstation, incase you slept through the first two wars. Slow/crappy first 18 Months, then total annihilation. You know it, you just cant stand it.

Or maybe you don't know it, because this post shows someone who doesn't know a thing about previous console wars.

people have been bashing the ps3 a lot. I don't consider a game a flop with one review. i'll wait for more than one. lair been delayed right so wait for a new review. warhawk has been getting bad press for the dumbest reason. if you read the psm article the reviewer complains about the price but says you get a 45 dollar headset and still complains that 60 is to much. its weird. The fact is the ps3 is still the highest console with no games and is still selling. In america the 360 is going to outsell it. there are more games and its cheaper. but the ps3 is outselling it worldwide with no games. what do you think will happen when games come out. people should think before they go off ranting

[QUOTE="Seckzy_Gamer"]Xbox 360 has some good system sellers this year and the ps3 dontRedfingers

Potentially, Ratchet and Uncharted are two extremely heavy hitters. I put them above any game coming out this year, besides perhaps Crysis and Mass Effect.

i think ratchet is the only real system seller the ps3 has this year -- uncharted will flop, it just isn't long enough from what i've read so far. like you said in your other post, too many of ps3s big hitters are lacking in gameplay and length, uncharted might have the gameplay and cool animations but i think it's short length and lack of mp will kill it.

Tactis

Call me strange, but those games you mentioned didn't excite me in the slightest. Maybe because I dont like shooters much and I lost faith in Ninkiddy back in the N64 disaster. Sorry Fanboyee!

non shooter 360 games coming out this year(all exclusive)

mass effect

ace combat six

naruto rise of a ninja

blue dragon

eternal sonata

lost odyssey

viva pinata: party animals

scene it

PGR4

Also on PC but not on ps3:

world in confilict.

good enough for you?

mass effect got pushed back until next year and even though comparing to system wars, blue dragon isn't a flop yet, but it haven't been getting stellar reviews from some gaming sources, and scene-it??!?!?!?!? i didn't even know about that game until i read it in your post, expect it to either get pushed back until 08 or to flop

The only thing that has failed is the Cow Comeback Campaign here in System Wars, which indeed depended heavily on favorable press generated by Lair, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword and the price drop. The PS3 itself isn't in quite as much trouble as you'd think.

[QUOTE="Seckzy_Gamer"]Xbox 360 has some good system sellers this year and the ps3 dontRedfingers

Potentially, Ratchet and Uncharted are two extremely heavy hitters. I put them above any game coming out this year, besides perhaps Crysis and Mass Effect.

And Halo 3, which will outsell both Ratchet & Uncharted combined by itself. Sony's heavy-hitter won't be out until next year. Ratch and Uncharted will be great titles, but they are the heavy-hitters. MGS4, FFXIII & GT5 are the heavy hitters.

Altough, it might be smart from Microsoft to beg them to push it back, why not make it the game that counter Final Fantasy XIII?

if anything the 360 is intouble with MS spending billions and still making 0 profit.

atleast sony is stillmaking money with ps2 and psp

Yellow_Rose

Which the losses from the PS3 are totally negating ;)

still think the ps3 is lossing less money then 360. i mean MS lost that billion last month thanks to RROD and they keep cuting the price so there loseing more money on each one sold, and all the money on promoting halo3.

I tought M$ where smart with there money?

"...In an article detailing the overall parts cost for the PS3, iSupply reveals that Microsoft is no longer losing money on the Xbox 360. Last year, the company reported that Microsoft lost $126 dollars on every 360 sold. Due to a reduction in overall component costs, iSupply estimates that it now costs Microsoft $323.30 per Premium Xbox 360 manufactured. Thus, Microsoft actually earns $75.70 on each unit sold...." - LINK

This was back in November of '06.

Yes, M$ is not losing any money on their XBox 360's anymore, but their gaming division is still in debt unfortunately. By the end of the 1st quarter (or maybe 2nd) of 2008, they should be out of the red. A strong holiday period will tell the tale. Sony is still losing money in their gaming division. They still have to pay back that loan they took out last year.

my fault, for right now it's a rumor, but i was at Gamespot and one of the guys who work there put all his money on Mass Effect and didn't put any on Bioshock and he was mad because he said that he heard/saw somewhere that Mass Effect got delayed until next year, but my bad on that false info i thought that it was true

idc PS3 owns 08 so w/e, and its not like im not gonna have no gamesto play 4 me PS3 this year, i'll be buying Warhawk, Haze, COD4, BiA: HH, and maybe unchartedtherealmcc0y

Cows said that they would 'owns' the 07 Christmas season with their exclusive releases. Well, now that Heavenly Flop seems to be flopping big time (right after the floppage of Warhawk, Lair and Madden), they point to 08 as the real time when the PS3 will 'owns'. How happy Sheep and Lemmings will be when the floppage continues well into 08.

Silly Cows. Just give up.

From what I've read, the PS3 is indeed in a difficult position. The price drop (or fire sale depending on where you stand) did not really set the ball rolling for Sony again, at least not as fast as they need it to be. Also disconcerting is the early negative previews of some of the "big hitters" that Sony is (or at least their fans are) toting. Of course things could change with said games and it could all be just hot air, but whatever, this can affect the sales of said games (you know what they are).

That said, all is not lost for the PS3, not yet anyway. Things do change, and while a major comeback is unprecedented in this industry, it isn't impossible, just improbable. If Sony can fix what's wrong with the PS3, get more games out (more than the perceived trickle right now), and get some positive press out there (God knows they need it), they may pull through with better-than-Gamecube sales... maybe. There is currently no hope for them to catch the Wii at the Wii's current pace so a comfortable second/third/tie is probably an optimal (and fully possible) situation.

...

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

*sigh*

I like seeing Sony fail as much as the next Nintendo fanboy, but not this badly! It's pitiful!

I often come across as a full fledged Lemming. And even though i have an X360 (i also have a PS2), i'm very level headed and a lil too mature to get caught up in the whole System Wars mindset.

Now that i've given a disclaimer...

I'm very surprised in the early reviews of the games coming out for the games that were poised to give the PS3 a holiday boost. There is obviously something going on. There is no way that this many developers are "not talented enough" to develop for the PS3. I'm a developer by profession, and anyone who is not intelligent enough will get weeded out of this industry pretty quickly.

this fact causes me draw my attention to Sony. It sounds like Sony needs to take a good hard look at their development tools and API.

That being said, I think UT3 is going to keep the PS3 afloat this winter. Epic knows how to make great games. Rachet will also be an interesting game, i think. And when is SOCOM going to be released. That game will attract a TON of gamers (if they werent turned off by SOCOM3).

lhughey

I too am a Lemming but I totally agree with this post. The development tools seem to be hampering the quality of games on the PS3. Perhaps some of this has been demonstrated by most ports been better on the 360? Time will tell if this is indeedthe case. If it is not, the PS3 is done as obviously the 360is a better gaming platform.

mass effect got pushed back until next year and even though comparing to system wars, blue dragon isn't a flop yet, but it haven't been getting stellar reviews from some gaming sources, and scene-it??!?!?!?!? i didn't even know about that game until i read it in your post, expect it to either get pushed back until 08 or to flop
ermacness

mass effect hasn't been delayed and blue dragon has gotten pretty good reviews from Japanese websites like fam...you know what i am talking about? i cant spell it... i think it was 37/40, also team xbox gave it 8.5, computer and video games 9/10 so its gotten some good reviews

scene it hasn't been delayed and i am not hyping it i was trying to point out that the 360 has a wide variety of games this holiday season.

What they really need to do is squeeze at least one AAA game out of that trickle. Oh, and they need to convince studios not to drop the Blu-ray format. Good luck...

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

I was happy for a while with all the floppage going on with the PS3 and its fanboys but I'm beggining to become kind of sad. I want a little competetion going on in System WArs. They better get a AAA and soon.

Yea but lemmins seem to want to call the PS3 games a flop based on some of the reviews. Warhawk got a 9 at 1up. HS got a 9+ at gametrailers, 9 from play, 9 from nexgenireland.
