Sony Reveals No 1 Reason To Buy A PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton said the number one reason to own a PS3 (PlayStation 3) is because the console is "future proof".

"The original PlayStation lasted 10 years - a tremendous innovation when other platforms died and were all but forgotten," Tretton told PC Advisor's US-based sister title, GamePro. "The same thing is going on with the PS2, and I think that will be the case with the PS3."

He went on to say, "I don't think we expected nor we need to capture the lifecycle of the PS3 in the first nine months. We want to build evangelists, one consumer at a time, and it involves sacrificing in the short term before paying off in the long term."

Regarding the fact that some PS3 games often release weeks after their Xbox 360 counterparts, Tretton said, "We're taking all our development findings and investments and passing them on to the third-party development community.

"We are physically going to studios and working with them hand-in-hand. You will start to see that bear fruit in the near future."

Number one reason for any console or system should be games. End of story.kcpp2b

Exactly. Games for 10 years? or Games for 5 years?

Its all about games.. why else would it last 10 years?

PS2 lasted so long because of its huge consumer base and incredible developer support, not because it was a Sony console.If the PS3 can't duplicate the success of its brethren it won't last nearly as long, no matter how good the technology is.metroidfood

All talk, no walk.

This is the main reason why I didn't think $600 was ridiculous. When the 360 is dead in 3 years, my investment will last much longer. just as my PS2 has nowlegendbyname

Lol, man, you just described yourself as someone I can't say with out getting in trouble myself here. It is best to just be quiet then act like a child hiding behind an an online ego acting like they know everything.

Oh wait, 90% of everyone does that here...doh.

Umm who said anything about a Leave Forever bet? There's a million bets you could make. That is just one of them. And it's good to know you're not a man of your word and would go against what you say based on what you just wrote.

None the less make another bet. Like making a video of something the SW Bets community agrees on if you lose?

Problem with that point is that playstation one and two both crushed the competition early, last gen was over before it began

Even if it lasts a long time, the quality of games is more important. Which is why I'd pick the 360.Zaeryn

i got one. you have to say positive things towards the 360 and the wii and bash sony for a month. :D

If the number one reason isn't games then I don't want to here it.

I bet you Renegade is aka Twinblade that got banned many, many , many times

Its all about demand .

If a console has sold incredible well like the PS1 or PS2 devs will keep making games for it and if consumers keep buying it Sony will keep producing it , look at the sales numbers for the PS2 now .

Now Sony spins this as if they knew all along that they would support it for 10 years and will be doing the same for the PS3 but the truth is of course that the devs keep making games for it and with the consumers are the real ones that keep it alive for such a long time .

If the PS3 fails to sell like its predecessors , consumers stop buying ita nd devs stop development then what do you think Sony will do, keep producing them :lol: :lol: ?

So the number 1 reason is JUST WAIT!

And take pics in a dress with a sign saying MS and the 360 bought and sold you for a high profit compared to your cost to purchase. A profit $2 dollars :P

Since he thinks the 360 will certainly do 2 years max why wouldn't he take this bet? He's dead locked to win

Awwwwww, your so cute, you still believe all of Sony's hype. Fact of the matter is PSone basically died after 2001. Sony may have continued making hardware, but there were like 15-20 titles released for PSone in 2002, none 1st party. So essentially, the console lasted 6 years. Cheap people still bought it, it was a $99 console with a huge library of games, but there was nothing new coming out for it, all development moved to PS2.

PS2 actually caught a big break this time around. Not only do they have a huge installed base but they share system capabilities on par with the Wii. So developers can make games for the most popular last gen system as well as the most popular next gen system at the same time (ie Manhunt 2). This gives PS2 a longer life. Even at that, untill PS2 makes it to 2009-2010 (PS2 released in 2000), they have no merit to make that 10 year claim.

PS3 will not have this luxury. As someone else stated, by the time the hardware prooves it's worth, NIN and MS will be working on new systems which will likely blow PS3 out of the water. Developers/publishers have lost faith in the Sony brand (Look for the articleposted today about SE worried about Sony's current situation, they are literally scared that they put so much money into games likeFFXIII, and PS3s are not selling liked hoped).
