I'm not asking you to admit defeat yet... but are you at least willing to come to terms with the fact that you've been humbled?

A couple of years back, when the PSP was supposed to dethrone Nintendo's handheld reign, when Sony was coming off back to back console war victories, the PS3 and the Cell were supposed to take over the world, when you called the 360 the Xbox 1.5, when you laughed at the Wii and Nintendo's chances (then called revolution), I'm willing to bet that you thought Sony was pretty invincible.

Now, the PSP is being crushed by the DS, 360 games are graphically on the same level as PS3 titles, and you're console is sitting dead last in sales - with media pundits tearing it to shreds and consumers not willing to bite.

So Cows... once more...

have you been humbled?

:lol: No. The only reason why PS3 is behind in sales is because of the price (Same with PSP). But just wait for FF13, MGS4, and R&C. PS3 will rise above xflop 1.5 when it comes to sales

How are PS3 owners being humbled? I guess if we were expecting immediate, complete dominance, sure... but to ask that of an expensive system that released a year behind its direct competitor is asking a lot. Not to mention that the PS3 is doing as well as the Xbox was at this point in time, so if the PS3 is a failure, so is the 360. It goes both ways.

Also, pundits ripped apart PS and PS2, and look where that got them. Regardless of what sells the most, I think the PSP > DS and the PS3 > Wii. The PSP does more for me. I watch movies and listen to music on my PSP, surf the net in airports, play wicked PS2 ports... PS3 offers a lot more technically than the Wii, and it has the games I want, with plenty more on the way. PSN has been fun so far, Home will make it better, eventually when I switch to HD movies, I have a BD player. These aren't important to the casual pick up n play gamer, but they're important to me. I'll eventually own a Wii and a DS, but I'll never think they're "the best" regardless of how much they sell or how hard they are to find. PS3 and 360 are always going to be the kings this gen, sales be damned.

But Sony fans WERE asking, no expecting, complete total dominance on day 1. Your comparison of 360 and Ps3's launch is also flawed, 360 didnt sell much because of the shortage, Ps3 isnt selling much because of lack of interest. Maybe consumers are finally fed up with Sony's hype machine and arrogance, and speaking with their wallets.

I have to admit the PSP doesn t have much that could turn it around (FF:CC is all i see...) but the PS3 has some good potential. Give it some time and don t say stuff like "ZOMG ZEE PS3 IS THEE CRAPPZORZ CAUSE ITZ IN LASTTTT!!!!11!1!!!!!!111ONE" In about two to three years time we ll see what system is in last...

I don't know if it's funny or sad to see that there's still people that say Xflop 1.5, since 360 is doing much better than PS3 (or should i say PS2.5). Oh yes, and wait, because that's what most PS3 fans are doing since the console launch anyway.

360 games are graphically on the same level as PS3 titlesjedigemini
Well, I'm glad someone agrees with me on that part.

No, I dont feel "humbled." I have only two games for the PS3. But, had I bought a 360, I would only have two games for that as well. For me, it was either buy a console, two games now, and many more later, or buy some other console, two games now, and maybe two or three later. So the decision was quite clear for me.

Oh, and, dead last in a race of how many? Oh, right, three. One being released a whole year before the PS3 and the other is a bargain priced console. So, do the math and of course the PS3 is last in sales. That doesnt bother me none however because the rate at which the PS3 is selling is on par with the 360 at this point in its life. Maybe a little behind, but price can be blamed on that.

 I own a 360 and don't plan on buying a PS3 for ages you monkey. Topic says Sony fanboys. PS2 is still the best selling machine and very much the no.1 home console on the planet even after 7 years, GC and Xbox are long dead. You = Owned. My point is why should they feel humbled when they have PS2 in possession. PS3 is not looking good now that's why most fans are WAITING for the right time, hence another reason PS3 sales are low right now, because smart consumers are waiting to buy one. Ever think about that?

And the 360 "shortage" :lol: Doesn't sound suspicious at all :P

Oh, and I totally disregard all comments related to Sony being a bad company or consumers being fed up with their arrogance, because MS beats them hands down in both of those categories. If you were a sheep you might have some ground to talk, but you're a Boxer, and your company is the epitome of an Evil Empire.

Based on the responses I've heard in my thread so far,

it appears Sony fanboys display the same level of denial and arrogance as the company they support.... Sony will lie, and deny their way through this generation for as long as they possibly can, but eventually, they will inevitably be brought to their knees by their competitors and shamefully forced to acknowledge the errors of their ways if they want to reconnect with the fanbase that turned their backs on them.

Right right, and SW is currently a war beteen Wii, 360 and PS3.  As the TC implied.  To reiterate, "PS3 is doign bad, but hey, yea..PS2 still owned you!  Haha"

You're like a kid who beat up someone in elementary school, got beat up by that same kid in high school, and saying "Yea, well, I kicked your *** in 6th grade!"

  Like I said before, no one looks more foolish than claiming to ownage by themselves. :lol:

Perhaps I am not the right person to respond since I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy, although I usually do only stick to one console per generation. The simple reason: time and money. I don't feel like spending money on all 3 consoles when one can already fully occupy the little free time I have left for gaming.

I know some might point out the paradox that I chose the most expensive of all three systems, but it also seems like the most promising one to me.

Aye, it ain't selling that hot right now compared to the Wii. But taking the steep price tag into account and comparing it with how well the 360 did untill this point after its release, suddenly things don't look THAT bad anymore. So the Wii is crushing everything right now and the 360 had a one year headstart. No wonder the PS3 is at the last spot as of now.
You mentioned that the graphical capabilities of the PS3 and 360 are nearly identical, and that this is a blow to the Playstation. Well, Last Gen, the PS2 had probably the worst graphics of the generation, but that didn't hinder its success. Of course all the fanboys keep talking about the graphics, and sure I do my part in commenting upon it as well, but only when I feel people are being unfair in comparisions. 

Anyways, to answer your question: The whole console war thing leaves me cold. I chose to buy a PS2 because the titles coming out for it interested me the most. I didn't own a PS1, so I didn't pick the PS2 out of brand loyalty or because it was the cool thing to do (the console was bashed to bits back then). I picked the PS3 because I think it's the best fit for me.

The Wii is outselling everything? Alright, but since I personally don't have much interest in that console it doesn't really bother me that much.

I'd say we come back in two years again to talk about how well each console is selling. The Wii might continue to dominate or end up as a short-lived fad, the PS3 might drop in price and actually have some great games to offer and the 360 could pick up even more steam in the future. 

Right now, the Wii is leading the race, but it's not finished yet. ;)

And the 360 "shortage" :lol: Doesn't sound suspicious at all :P



Yes, it is a generalization.  But in this case, the genralization is not inaccurate.  Sure, you're one of a rare breed of Sony fans that kept their expectations in check, but even the press were fooled by Sony's hype machine.  To doubt that SW was filled with "teh cell!"  or "dont buy Xflop 1.5, wait for the PS2"  or "PS3 will dominate the inductry like the PS2 did" is just wrong.  EVERYONE, remembers what cows were like before, except, ironically, cows.

Whether the shortage of the 360 was intentional or not, the fact is there was one, and there was demand.

Nightflash28

Perhaps I am not the right person to respond since I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy, although I usually do only stick to one console per generation. The simple reason: time and money. I don't feel like spending money on all 3 consoles when one can already fully occupy the little free time I have left for gaming.

I know some might point out the paradox that I chose the most expensive of all three systems, but it also seems like the most promising one to me.

Aye, it ain't selling that hot right now compared to the Wii. But taking the steep price tag into account and comparing it with how well the 360 did untill this point after its release, suddenly things don't look THAT bad anymore. So the Wii is crushing everything right now and the 360 had a one year headstart. No wonder the PS3 is at the last spot as of now.
You mentioned that the graphical capabilities of the PS3 and 360 are nearly identical, and that this is a blow to the Playstation. Well, Last Gen, the PS2 had probably the worst graphics of the generation, but that didn't hinder its success. Of course all the fanboys keep talking about the graphics, and sure I do my part in commenting upon it as well, but only when I feel people are being unfair in comparisions.

Anyways, to answer your question: The whole console war thing leaves me cold. I chose to buy a PS2 because the titles coming out for it interested me the most. I didn't own a PS1, so I didn't pick the PS2 out of brand loyalty or because it was the cool thing to do (the console was bashed to bits back then). I picked the PS3 because I think it's the best fit for me.

The Wii is outselling everything? Alright, but since I personally don't have much interest in that console it doesn't really bother me that much.

I'd say we come back in two years again to talk about how well each console is selling. The Wii might continue to dominate or end up as a short-lived fad, the PS3 might drop in price and actually have some great games to offer and the 360 could pick up even more steam in the future.

Right now, the Wii is leading the race, but it's not finished yet. ;)



You sir, have my respect.  Awesome post.  :)

Based on the responses I've heard in my thread so far,

it appears Sony fanboys display the same level of denial and arrogance as the company they support.... Sony will lie, and deny their way through this generation for as long as they possibly can, but eventually, they will inevitably be brought to their knees by their competitors and shamefully forced to acknowledge the errors of their ways if they want to reconnect with the fanbase that turned their backs on them going into the proceeding generation of gaming.

More crap about Sony rather than PS3. Don't get me started on Microsoft, they are literally the worst company in the world in terms of business ethics and practices, as well as arrogance and treating their usebase like complete ****. You seem to forget that Xbox isn't all they're involved in. Their OS monopoly and the lengths they've gone to maintain it by any means necessary is nothing short of unbelievable. If you're going to attack the PS3, go for it. If you're going to try and pin it on Sony and say Xbox is a company that actually cares about you, I'm going to laugh and disregard your entire post. A simple search of the internet can find all sorts of Microsoft shenanigans that would turn your stomach.

I'm not asking you to admit defeat yet... but are you at least willing to come to terms with the fact that you've been humbled?

A couple of years back, when the PSP was supposed to dethrone Nintendo's handheld reign, when Sony was coming off back to back console war victories, the PS3 and the Cell were supposed to take over the world, when you called the 360 the Xbox 1.5, when you laughed at the Wii and Nintendo's chances (then called revolution), I'm willing to bet that you thought Sony was pretty invincible.

Now, the PSP is being crushed by the DS, 360 games are graphically on the same level as PS3 titles, and you're console is sitting dead last in sales - with media pundits tearing it to shreds and consumers not willing to bite.

So Cows... once more...

have you been humbled?

 

jedigemini

 

haha man. 3 words for you, Get A Life.

 

How does owning any system make you humbled? the sheer ignorance and stupidity in your post makes my head want to explode.

 

If a person wants the ps3 as their media and entertainment hub then they buy it. No one is forced into buying a system. People already know what they are getting themselves into when they buy the ps3. They know that the games aren't great right now compared to the 360 but soon enough it will not only outlast its competition but will provide better entertainment (opinion based).

However, if a person does not feel assured and feel that they need the best of gaming right now.. RIGHT THIS SECOND... then they probably will buy the 360 (of course breaking out on them 3 months later.. lol i kid)

I love this comback, simple because its so stupid.  No matter how bad the PS3 does, you're still gonna use the PS2 as your scape goat?  :lol: 

 

The PS2 is still alive and kickin...and competing with next gen...unlike its last gen competition...when the PS2 runs out of gas, then i believe we can declare last gen officially done.  Since Sony is still keeping last gen alive, for the casuals...now thats power.

Thats true, but we already know it won.  thats why people are focusing on the consoles that are directly competing now, in a marketing standpoint.

I totally agree with this post, MS is not any better of a company than Sony. IMO, in this industry, and people WILL disagree, MS isnt as bad as Sony.  And yes, this is considering that MS and Ea are screwing us over with the XBL charge and microtransactions + ads in the dash.  I simply hate liars and intentionally fooling their consumers.  And Sony is real guilty of that in THIS industry.

I own a 360 and don't plan on buying a PS3 for ages you monkey. Topic says Sony fanboys. PS2 is still the best selling machine and very much the no.1 home console on the planet even after 7 years, GC and Xbox are long dead. You = Owned. My point is why should they feel humbled when they have PS2 in possession. PS3 is not looking good now that's why most fans are WAITING for the right time, hence another reason PS3 sales are low right now, because smart consumers are waiting to buy one. Ever think about that?



Right right, and SW is currently a war beteen Wii, 360 and PS3. As the TC implied. To reiterate, "PS3 is doign bad, but hey, yea..PS2 still owned you! Haha"

You're like a kid who beat up someone in elementary school, got beat up by that same kid in high school, and saying "Yea, well, I kicked your *** in 6th grade!"

Like I said before, no one looks more foolish than claiming to ownage by themselves. :lol:

I think the only kids in here are the people who lack any knowledge of the industry and tend to think early failure is fatal. The TC made a topic on why Sony fans should be humbled. Why? Because they are dumb enough not to realise PS3 would struggle during it's first few years? If PS3 is struggling in 2 years time then yeah ring the alarm bells. You would have to be incredibly stupid to think PS3 at $599 would sell well during it's  first year. PSP is different and sucked from the beginning, Sony had no clue about the Handheld Market yet still manage to sell 20 Million+ Units.

[QUOTE="HarpoonArtic"]:lol: No. The only reason why PS3 is behind in sales is because of the price (Same with PSP). But just wait for FF13, MGS4, and R&C. PS3 will rise above xflop 1.5 when it comes to salesbeerm_basic

JUST WAIT....WAIT FOR 2008..OH NO THAT DIDNT WORK...WAIT FOR PS4...WAIT FOR 2015

I'll eventually own a Wii and a DS, but I'll never think they're "the best" regardless of how much they sell or how hard they are to find. PS3 and 360 are always going to be the kings this gen, sales be damned.

Iyethar

Okay. I retroactively declare GameCube king of last gen.

You can, and you're not wrong. Is the McDonalds cheeseburger the king of food because it sells more than Kobe steaks do? Or is it just cheaper, more convenient, with the most efficient way of distributing its product? If being the best console is all about sales, as you seem to imply, then you're missing the boat. Quality > quantity. Since when did we forget this credo.

If GC was the king last gen, to you, then great. It was more powerful than PS2, RE4 for GC was a top 5 game last gen... you have your basis for making that statement, just as I have my basis for stating that I prefer the other consoles over Nintendo's, regardless of how fast they're flying off the shelves.

I'll say it again, sales don't mean **** to me when it comes to crowning something the best. Another example is Windows. Windows is more of a POS than an OS when compared to OSX or any of the many forms of Linux, but it sells the best, so its the king? If thats how you crown a king, sure, but I won't.

MARKETING STANDPOINT, MS is using the 360 to directly compete with the PS3.

The PS2 is still TECHNICALLY competeing with all the consoles.

actually get your facts straight buddy. Resistance did NOT flop both in sales and reviews. It has already sold +1million and its still selling. Motorstorm also is a moderate success selling 200,000 in america and topping European charts as well.

Resistance flopped? It sold over a million copies to a userbase of 3 million people. Not even Halo for Xbox 1 was purchased by 1/3rd of the user base. A launch title "flopping" :lol:, you fanboys just like the sound of the word flop, you literally have no factual basis for any of the statements you're making.  

Next, how is Motorstorms online sub-standard? Compared to what? Which 360 game offers anything like it?

Wait, you've never even played either game, or done anything more than read what ill-informed simpletons write on this board about them, so you really have no idea. Keep missing out, keep pretending you've actually played either of these games long enough to form an accurate judgment of them. Not fooling anyone but yourself.

Most Sony fans are very loyal and are just waiting on new games for the PS3. There is a TON of new games coming this fall and in 2008. I guarantee the PS3 will take a huge chunk out of 360 sales in the very near future.

Okay seriously, if you think Resistence flopped, you're blind AND a fanboy.
