same thing as last time. Ps2 was not all that attractive when it came out but sony eventually and magically made a smooth transition from ps1 to ps2. I'm sure when they are done sucking the life out of ps2 they will hype people to buy a ps3. Unlike xbox and gamecube the ps2 is still alive so I guess thats why Sony didn't lose their head yet. Thats why Sony keeps saying they don't care.ff7isnumbaone
Even so the future does not look good for Sony.

[QUOTE="Natural_Mystic"]We all know Sony has been taking a lot of bad press from the PS3, but lets take a look back at the year that has lead us to the Nov. 17th release date.

First, we start with Sony itself. Yes, I was going to only make a timeline of the PS3 news, but how can you ignore this arrogance from late 2005?

Nov. 10th, 2005 - Sony is caught hiding a rootkit inside music CD's that place a virus on users computer. Sony's Tom Hesse defends the decision by stating that people don't know what it is, so they shouldn't care

Now that we know Sony cares about us, lets move on to the PS3...

Feb. 27th, 2006 - Sony misses it's Spring launch date Better than having less/more bugged units like 360
May 8th, 2006 - Sony holds it's E3 conference announcing the pricing of the PS3 at $600/$500
May 8th, 2006 - New PS3 controller will have six degrees of motion, but no rumble feature. Sony's Phil Harrison states that rumble was last gen and no longer needed. Ownage denied, i dont care about rumble or motion.
May 31st, 2006 - Sony's Phil Harrison denies copying the Wiimote and states that the PS3 will replace the PC
Sept 6th, 2006 - PS3 is delayed in Europe until March 2007 Launches with better games, higher supply and less bugs.
Sept 6th, 2006 - PS3 launch shipment is cut from 2 million to 400,000 in the US (100,000 to Japan)
Sept 8th, 2006 - Sony's President admits that the company's hardware is in a current state of declinePeople have never listened to him for a reason :roll:
Sept 26th, 2006 - PS3 first-party titles announced to be the same price as third party titles, at $59.99 Some first party titles for 360 cost over 60$
Sept 26th, 2006 - Square Enix will not exclusively support Sony's PS3 as much as they did with the PS2. FFXIII, FFversusXIII, FF Tactics for PSP, MMORPG for PS3 in the future, Kingdom Hearts 3. That doesnt sound bad.
Sept 29th, 2006 - Sony's President Ken Kutaragi states that his company does not care about the Xbox 360 and Wii competition. Hows does this count as ownage? HE doesnt care, big deal.
October 12th, 2006 - Sony Exec calls the 360 and Wii "too expensive"
October 19th, 2006 - The infamous spec sheet comparison and how Sony claims the Xbox 360 requires HD-DVD to play games  In order to have all the features the PS3 has, yes.
October 20th, 2006 - Announced that Sony may have to replace your PS3 controller for you after it no longer holds charge  It lastes longer than 360.
October 24th, 2006 - Sony sinks Lik-Sang  Most people didnt even know them, Campcom closed Clover, lets kill them all!!
October 26th, 2006 - Sony's Q2 profits decrease by 94%
October 28th, 2006 - Sony president Ken Kutaragi said he expects the PS3 to be capable of running games at a stunning 120fps Get it why no one listens to him?
October 30th, 2006 - PS3 will push Sony $1.71 billion into the red
October 31st, 2006 - Japan launch of the PS3 is cut to 80,000 units  And the price was reduced.
Nov 8th, 2006 - Sony ships without update. You must update your PS3 out of the box in order to use PlayStation Network  You need to update your 360 about 2 times and more if you buy one now with a launch game.
Nov 9th, 2006 - NBA Live 2007 is cancelled on the PS3
Nov 9th, 2006 - Oblivion is pushed back from launch title to Jan 2007  Oblivion to PS3 is a good news not bad :roll:
Nov 10th, 2006 - Sony's Phil Harrison states that he can no longer confirm a March 2007 launch for Europe He says they are working hard on supply and dont want to overpromise, ownage denied...
Nov 11th, 2006 - PS3 launches in Japan and rewards few 
Nov 11th, 2006 - Sony unprepared for Japan launch  Fake article made up by a Sony hater, in other words: its ****
Nov 14th, 2006 - Sony will miss 400,000 unit target for the US. Approx 150k to 200k will be shipped for launch  Oh noes, Americans have to share with other countries!! poor Americans they should have everything!
Nov 14th, 2006 - PS3 has backwards compatibility problems
Nov 16th, 2006 - PS3 downscales 720p games instead of upscaling to 1080i 
Nov 16th, 2006 - Sony's Jack Tretton comments on the PS3 BC problems and states that the Wii has 0 backwards compatibility

Nov 23, 2006 - Saving Sony, one console at a time
Nov 26, 2006 - More PS3 exclusives head to 360  Enjoy this crappy games i guess...
Nov 26, 2006 - Bloomberg: Sony missed PS3 ship targets Not enough consoles, consoles sitting in stores... you fanboys just cant decide can you?
Nov 30, 2006 - Sony shuffles senior execs They are moving a few names around, no ownage here...
Nov 30, 2006 - Analyst: "I cannot imagine a PlayStation 4" funny how all other analyst say Sony will still win in the long run :roll:
Dec 4, 2006 - Sony Australia: Wii "More Fun" than PS3  One mans opinion, its not even talking bad about PS3
Dec 8, 2006 - Court rules for Immersion; Sony to pay up
Dec 11, 2006 - Industry watchers weigh in on "record-low tie ratios" for Wii and PS3 and other results from the month of the new systems' debut.  "Despite that, Pachter expects the Wii and PS3 to play a significant role in year-over-year sales growth of 7-10 percent for the month, so long as Nintendo and Sony can get enough systems to retail and "the eBay effect" is suppressed."
Dec 19, 2006 - Time says PS3 was a bust Time is the new source for gaming!! GOTY for Wii Sports! take that Gears!!!
Dec 21, 2006 - Virtua Fighter 5 dukes it out on Xbox 360

And to add to the list, the patent Sony just recently filed to make a wiiMote type device for their console.

Sony's WiiMote

Sony invented this 10 years ago but felt we weren't ready for it, but now they think the world is ready and decided to file the patent. At least that's what they'll say 2 years from now. Well that, and that Nintendo stole their idea, like rumble and analog sticks

Wow ... all I can say is Wow!  I knew Sony was in the dog house, I just didn't realize how bad off they really were. I've been rooting for Sony to repeat their past success, but I can see now it's a different game.

I would agree that sony has had a bad year. However its not the first time they have had a bad year and yet they still have been around for freaking ever. If you find ONE company that hasn't ever had a down or bad year I will heavily invest in them.

The Ownage is strong with this one!
But really, as much as I would like to say that all of this = Sony DOOM! I can't. I really dont like how they have treated us, but I still have this gut feeling that they are going to come back and CLAW their way to victory anyway possible. Like paying retailers to set the PS3 up in front, or something like that...I dont know, but I just know something is going to happen...
BUT WHAT!?!?!?

btw... AAA topic, way to eat your veggies!!

same thing as last time. Ps2 was not all that attractive when it came out but sony eventually and magically made a smooth transition from ps1 to ps2. I'm sure when they are done sucking the life out of ps2 they will hype people to buy a ps3. Unlike xbox and gamecube the ps2 is still alive so I guess thats why Sony didn't lose their head yet. Thats why Sony keeps saying they don't care.ff7isnumbaone
To an extent, that is true but here's where things are really different this time around: PS2 launched with little (Dreamcast, R.I.P :( ) to no competition. Now MS is ahead of them with millions of xbox 360 consoles sold and a HUGE 3rd party support. The PS2 was reasonably priced...And please, don't give me "teh inflation" bull crap :roll: It certainly wasn't 600 bucks :| MS is beginning to make a profit....Sony is starting to lose...A LOT. Though, I disagree about PS3 failing, I do believe that MS is giving them the hardest times of their life in the VG industry and it definitely is losing market share. Xbox 360 is already a proven console, PS3 is still trying to prove its worth.

I must agree this is one of the best threads created. Why?, because it tells the truth about Sony and its fumbles. No fanboy can twist these facts with a optimistic POV because the force is strong with the TC for providing links for each and every event with Sony..

This is the ultimate ownage ever!!! There are simply to many links to so many credible, nonbiased websites and coupled with Sony's incredible arrogance, lies, and promises it just makes the PS3 debut a complete flop. It will take the best year of Sony's gaming department ever to come back from this. And at this point I just don't think they can do it. The PS3 at the end of 2007 will be in 3rd place and still losing money.
