Pulling the plug on the ps3..?

http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Media_Centres/Industry/R8W6V6L6

it appears as if sony may have joined reality (even if their fanboys haven't) and may launch the ps4 in under 18 months according to a "sony insider"...

if this comes true this is a huge slap to all those who payed $650 USD to play a console for 2 years...

the bad news:  they're still gonna use bluray... stupid.... :(

"According to a Sony insider."

When we get an actual name, we'll start caring.

Why rape later when you can rape the consumer now?

Oh and XBL Gold is still 49.99$ for a PEER TO PEER ONLINE SERVICE

WHAT THE FUK ARE YOU DOING MICROSOFT!!!

 Kind of like 95% of the faulty 360 links teh Herd provides?

This sounds like just another refinement or edition of the PS3, or maybe even a PSX type unit.  Not a new game system.  ramey70

doesn't matter what it sounds like to you... the name PS4 is there...

no mention of a new ps3.. (which would own all the cows claimng the Elite is milkage).

everyone sing ...."lookin for ownage in all the wrong places ...."

actually it would be smartest thing sony could do.

bluray is a disaster, the ps3 is a disaster, and ken lost his job becuase of it.

if they removed the bluray drive and STOPPED naming their hardware (dumb) and join reality, they could beat MS to the next gen, with a better price, and earlier launch..

the 360 already proved the importance of first-to-market...

buy yeah..you're right... no name = little cred...

The name PS4 is put in the title by the author citing an unamed source.  He also states it uses the same chipset.  If that's the case there's no way it could be a PS4, as it would still play and render the same game library.  Further, there is no possible way Sony could get a new system out in 18 months.   As unreliable as Sony is they couldn't even get dev kits out in time.

you could be right...

who said sony has to have a new chipset for the ps4?  sony could easily stick with the existing chipset which would be more cost effective in 2 years, include chips to run ps1 and ps2 games and have ONE console for all ps games.

Sony is no stranger to milking and could easily charge people premium for old technology to offset the huge losses created by the ps3...

imo, that would crush MS... if they could come in under or at cost...

it's weird becuase the cows were SWEARING "spring 06 cuz ken said so"..all the way up until spring 06 and no ps3 was to be had...

His point is that Bluray isn't a disaster, it's doing great. Bluray DVD's are increasing on Netflix where I order my movies more and more all the time.

You didn't include PS3's in your sales figures, screw the EU (:P I have nothing to argue that one), porn is stilling using ONLY DVD's. They haven't gone HD yet. lol, they often still use VHS. Inflated sales or not, the are clearly still selling much faster than HD-DVD's.

Probably because I've read so many of your threads and/or waiting endless to provide sources and definitive links for even half of you claims only to see you move the goalposts to support your arguements.

Porn is actually on HD-DVD already and set to be released on Bluray.

the ps3 doesn't really count as it's a game machine.. much like the way ps2 are not included in total dvd player sales...

um...vivid video has a nice collection of hd dvd movies...in fact they had them at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas in 06...

at this point it's not about how many movies are sold but how many players they can sell...

the ps3 doesn't really count as it's a game machine...tango90101

I disagree. The PS3 has a bluray drive SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of promoting bluray. The PS3 is the most widely used bluray player available. You cannot deny that.

You should try asking him for a link regarding the announcement of the deal between HD-DVD and Walmart or one showing that Nielsen-Videoscan includes free bundled movies in sales figures.    You'll be waiting all day.ramey70

1. the leak about walmart and china was already linked, but you didn't believe it so it doesn't count. :roll:

2. Casino Royale became one of the top "selling" bluray titles right after it was bundled with the ps3... coincidence... right? :roll:

the links were given in the past.  Your defense?  "i don't believe it"...

just wow...:roll:

*YAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN*

Yet another hd28guy_basic self ownage thread.  These just aren't as fun anymore  :(

Sony and the PS3 aren't going anywhere. Especially with the huge titles that have yet to surface for PS3.

Oh and Blu-Ray has outsold HD-DVD month to month so far this year.

I guess if Blu-Ray is a disaster, HD-DVD must be the titantic  :lol:

:lol: How desperate hd28guy_basic must be

1. Later announcements by Walmart reps refuted the deal. Until it's actually on the shelf or officially announced we should probably tap the breaks on stating it's done or for sure. Neither of us know what the true story is.

2. Casino Royale was bundled in the EU. Nielsen-Videoscan only accounts for US sales data.
