4 in itself is a cheesy when put in the name of a movie, a game, and even worse in a console imo.

I think it may be time for Sony to rebrand their next console, drop the Playstation thing, and maybe copy another one of Nintendo's innovative ideas or something.

thoughts?

It depends on how this gen ends. Right now the ps3 has a good reputation for being reliable and the killer apps are just around the corner. not to mention that its one of the most affordable blu ray players. So it's still too early to tell.

They'll never drop the Playstation name, but I doubt they'll call their next console the Playstation 4.

Do you know how well the Xbox 360 has been doing in Japan and Europe? Not well at all. Playstation 3 will end up finishing ahead of Xbox 360, because the only place that the Xbox 360 does well is in the US.

Like you wouldn't believe..... Jedi doesn't give a damn about what the PS4 is or isn't called. This thread was just an excuse for him to slip in that comment about Sony copying Nintendo innovative ideas.

PS"4" sounds bad when you say it, but it's what they have made a name for themself with. I wouldn't expect them to change it.

Sure... if you consider having 0 AAA exclusives and the worst hardware and software sales as great, than Sony is doing simply amazing.

Or at least stop making threads that have no validity.

Seriously, you gotta love these PS3-haters. Ps3 hasn't even pulled its guns yet and already haters want to say this gen is over. Get a clue.

Is trolling message boards and creating nothing but flame bait anti-PS3/pro Nintendo topics all you do or do you have a life at all? Because I have never seen you post anything other than topics that bash the PS3, while expressing how godly the Wii is based on sales alone, lol.

We understand, and clearly get the message that you do not like the PS3, and that you are rabidly in love with everything that is Nintendo....congratulations. But, don't you think it's time to either get some fresh material or maybe even a new obsession? Because as it is, you make the sheep look bad, my friend.

Fact - PS2 was the most successful console of all time

Fact - PS3 is in dead last place after nearly a year on the market with very little in the way of compelling software

Now... given the facts, do you honestly not see why so many people are currently bashing the PS3?

Why would they abandon a brandname that's worth Billions of dollars? The Playstation brandname is one of the most recognisable brandnames in the videogame industry. Hell, you even hear people refering to this generation of people (as in Generation Y, not this generation of consoles) as the Playstation Generation.

Do you really need to see a graph? PS2 sales were explosive from its launch onward.

I just googled ps2 launch sales.

It seems the ps2 sold 900,000 units in Japan the first weekend, and 500,000 the first day in the U.S.

In all, it seems they reached the numbers they are at now in about half the time.

again you all argue about who finishes where as if you all have a stake in the claim of profits, you will not be paid for whoever finishes in their respective place. stop it! go and enjoy your console of choice. again you will NOT be paid for whoever finishes in their repsetive place!!
