I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that the console is headed nowhere. All the developers are finally starting to realize that this console can't measure up to their expectations and if they continue to develop for it their company will go bankrupt. I feel bad for Sony and all but they should just quit while they're behind and leave the gaming industry with their tails between their legs. They gave it their best shot but unfortunately Sony's best is hardly comparable to Microsoft's worst.

I think Blu Ray in the future will do great.  Right now, it's slaes are good, but with Sony backing it up I'm not sure how much longer it will last.  The ps3 to me is a system ahead of it's time, offering too many things in one system.  The lack of games and exclusives also turn me off.

Your username is so misleading. You should change it a little. Add the word "don't" after I and you're good to go.

Why would Sony stop lol?

Be like -

 Dear Sony,

 I think that you should stop selling your failing PS3 because you're going to go bankrupt.

 Later dudes!

Why are you adding stuff to my post? And it doesn't even make sense.

 

 

  Fact is, the 360 was sold out for a long time, it was hard to find one (Not nearly as long and as hard as the Wii), the PS3 was sitting on shelves within the first 2 months. Yes, it has competition, but so does the Wii and its obliterating the competition.

I think fanboys should just give up trying to undermine it's ability; whether you like it or not, the PS3 is here to stay.

 Agreed, competition does nothing but benefit me, the consumer, companies have to compete for my dollar and I like that.

Of course not, this generation will likely expand the market quite a bit and bring alot more money into the industry, which means potential profit for any company involved. I don't think it's likely that sony will have a strong showing or even show profit this generation, but considering the potential profit, they should wait for the next gen.

Even if the ps3 finishes in last place which i seriously belive it will this gen sony will make a ps4 they were very succesfull with the ps1 and ps2, i mean if you havent atleast played some of the great games on ps1 or ps2 belive me you have missed alot. But the ps3 right now isn't really worth the money if you don't want a BR.

I love your spelling . The ps3 still has some life, but if sony continues to give away those exclusives it will indeed die eventually .

So you're saying that the more than 90 million homes that own a PS2 and have yet to switch to Next-Gen, aren't considering a PS3?

Playstation 3 sales will pick up.

Yes and that doesn't bother me as long as what I'm buying is worth the money and right now, the only console thats not worth the money is the PS3, which, I'm sure, will change some time in the future.

If everyone were to buy all three anyways, then why are they competing? That's kind of the point of competition.

Heavenly Sword, Lair, Tekken 6, MGS4 (Probably a subsistence version come out later for 360 & ps3), Motorstorm, Resistance, God of War III (not for a while anyway). That's only from the top of my head.

To be honest i really hate posts like these, what is it going to prove if Sony gives up?  The X360 will get one less competitor and the only one will be some lightweight (Wii) meaning they won't have the urge to go one up and produce better games than their rivals.

I didn't like how Sega stopped manufacturing consoles and wouldn't like Sony to do the same either who have revolutionised the gaming industry in their own way.

It isn't so much as the diversity of systems that drive the competition as much as the games that each system gets to itself.  Aside from the obvious features a system has, it really comes down to which has the games you want the most.  However, one change that is evident in this generation is how similar 2 of the 3 competitors are in terms of system power and features.  And it's a great thing because what made the Nintendo-Sega rivalry so great was the first party games. 

The playstation franchise survived off the tremendous third party support given in the past two generations; whereas Nintendo proved it could be just as successful without it.  Now that Microsoft is in the mix, Sony is forced to share that once 'exclusive' third party support and now has to rethink it's strategy of how it can stay alive this gen.  From here on out, we're going to see more first party games being made by each respective company, which could more than likely recreate that 'Nintendo-Sega' era.
