Stop with the "PS3 is doing well like the PS1 + PS2" BS

It's bull and you guys know it.

Sure the PS3 is selling as much or even a bit more than the PS2 and PS1 at the moment when they were released. But ask yourself this,

Did any other consoles beat the PS2 and PS1 when they were out? No!

No other console outsold the PS2 and PS1 when they came out, but the PS3 is getting outsold by the Xbox360 and Wii..

That's how it is right now. If you take out the 360 because it has a 1 year advantage, then fine. Look at the Wii then, it's outselling the PS3 by so much.

Sure the PS3 is selling well compared to the PS2 "at its time"

But guess what?

At it's time, the Xbox360 is selling also equal to PS3

Wii is beating the PS3 "at it's time"

and PS2 is currently beating the PS3 anyways.

people from the future are online tonight, yaaay.

I find wii boring. and the graphics are hard on the eyes after playing ps3 or 360 in HD.

oh yeah, and the wiimote isnt as responsive as i thought it would be.

Just like how you know exactly what's happening at E3 this year, yeah you have no room to talk here.

[QUOTE="AHUGECAT"]I'm pretty sure even cows have accepted the PS3 is a flop.mztazmz

But seriously, you guys are stupid. So the Wii is outselling the PS3 right now, so what?

This console war has barely begun. It's the Indy 500 and we're on the 20th lap and you think you can declare the winner already??? Keep dreamin'.

Time is NOT on the Wii's side, but time is very much on the PS3's side.

The Wii has a cool controller which most people have said is really fun for about the first month, then it just becomes the way you play and the thrill wears off. Then you're left with last gen graphics and kiddie games? for $250. The same graphics as the $99 Gamecube(with a much better game library). HDTV is quickly becoming the norm in the household as prices drop and more content becomes available, most people have said that the Wii just doesn't do their HDTV justice. The Wii is clutching at the last nail in the coffin for SDTV.

The PS3 on the other hand is totally ready for the next few years. It's selling as well as the PS2 did at it's time despite being twice the price. All it's killer apps haven't even come out yet and you can expect sales to surge with releases like MGS4, FFXIII, GTA4, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, etc. Also when HDTV becomes the norm, many will be glad that the Bluray drive is built in.

So talk all the crap you want. If you say this stuff one year from now, you'll just look like an idiot.

You're post really made a lot of sense to me, despite me being a loyal sheep. I had a lot of respect to what you were saying up until you did the whole "kiddie games" thing. It's getting old. I think I posted like 4 differnt threads in SW with the T-M rated hardcorre games coming out on the wii for 07, yet i see this kinda crap. Anyway, minus the stupid grasp for straws you made with the kiddie comment, nice post, lotsa ownage. Just don't make yourself look like an a**.

If your car is significantly slower than the other car, then yeah you can declare the winner. The Dreamcast wasn't a success either.

You don't buy a video game console for HD, you buy it for games, and the PS3 doesn't have any.

The PS3 on the other hand is totally ready for the next few years. It's selling as well as the PS2 did at it's time despite being twice the price. All it's killer apps haven't even come out yet and you can expect sales to surge with releases like MGS4, FFXIII, GTA4, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, etc. Also when HDTV becomes the norm, many will be glad that the Bluray drive is built in.

I am sure a few people may care, but the PS2 sold great out of the gate, the PS3 hit 81,000 consoles in a month - 100,000 less than the PS2.

If you're playing basketball and you're down by 30 in the third quarter, it's very likely you are done.

To be honest I honestly think all systems are doing fine and are great.

Of course the PS3 is being a late bloomer, but the way sony upgrades it so much with all the firmwares and all that jazz it will be fine, Its library will expand it will take awhile but thats ok patience is a virtue Sony fans will be rewarded soon enough Right now the Game devs are only usuing about 20% of its power by the time all 100% we will all be in awe of it.

The Wii is doing great all around Its fun and brings more people to play games. Eventually the inovation will wear off but the entertainment will never fade away. With SSBB, MP3 and many others the Wii will have a awesome life span especially since how it can be a GC, NES,SNES,and a N64.

360 is also great its had a head start like the PS2 did the 360 is a great system and will continue to be great especially when Halo 3 comes out

IT IS STILL WAY TO EARLY to decide but does it really matter who wins the console war as long as your happy with your system thats all that matters why bash someone for there opionon and bash a system because each are awesome in their own right

at first n64 was outselling the psone for many many months.. ps3 is the only console that will have a 10 year life cycle so it has a very good chance of coming out on top this generation.

The PS3 WILL NOT have a 10 year life cycle. Do you think technology won't have advanced so much in even 5 years? We won't be able to look at the PS3 in 2016.

The PS1 and PS2 had long life cycles because the market let them have long life cycles. As long as people keep buying them they will get support. If people stop buying them the support dries up.

People still play the PSOne even after it "died."

The latest U.S. monthly sales numbers for video-game consoles came out this week, and you almost have to feel sorry for the PS3.

The PS3 is doing so poorly, and it's costing Sony so much money, that I wonder how much longer Sony can afford to keep this albatross around its neck.

According to the tally from the NPD Group, Nintendo took the top hardware spot in May, with about 423,000 Nintendo DS handhelds sold. Nintendo's Wii console was in second place, with sales of 338,000. Third was the handheld Sony PSP (a quiet success story that deserves its own column) with sales of 221,000, while the venerable PS2 was in fourth place with 187,000 consoles sold.

Huffing and panting across the finish line in fifth was the Xbox 360 with 155,000 consoles sold, while the PS3 was sixth, with a mere 81,000 systems sold.

The PS3 is occupying the sales slot that, in the last two console generations, was reserved for Nintendo's GameCube and N64 systems.

The difference, though, is that Nintendo always eked out a small profit on those consoles, even when they were easily outsold by the PS2 and original PlayStation. Sony will lose almost $500 million on its game division this year, according to analysts polled this week by the Financial Times.

That is simply untenable for Sony.

Not only is the console not selling well, but people who do buy it aren't buying games, which is where the real money is.

According to GameDaily.biz, of the top 10 best-selling games in May, four were for the Nintendo Wii or DS, four were on the Xbox 360, and two were on the PS2.

Not a single PS3 game made the top 10.

Microsoft can ride out the wave of Nintendo mania a little longer, because Xbox 360 fans are dedicated, and they're being rewarded with excellent games. Halo 3 alone could easily entice several million people to buy a 360 later this year.

But Sony's console isn't seen as the system for the hard-core gamer, as is the 360. It's seen as the system for rich people who already own a 360 and are looking for something frivolous to spend their cash on.

For a mass-market consumer electronics maker like Sony, that customer demographic is simply too small. After all, more than 100 million PS2s have been sold since the system was released in 2000. At this rate, we'll all be dead and buried - or be cyborgs kept alive by nanobots and genetic engineering - before the PS3 hits that milestone.

So Sony has two choices: slash the price (and a $100 discount may not be enough anymore) and hope that higher game sales can offset the hardware loss. Or get out of the home console business and focus on handhelds.

Things sure do change in a hurry.

A ten year life cycle??? Does anybody really beleive that crap sony is spitting out? You can fry an egg on a ps3 it runs so hot you think it's gonna last ten years!!! And yes the 360 does have problems that should have been fixed by now. I also think the 360 should be selling better.

I don't think that many people say the Wii has NO adult-oriented games, just that it has relatively few and its focus is on family-friendly casual games. That seems kinda obvious. If you are a gamer interested in serious games, the Wii might not be the best choice.

its not a flop it will be on top at the end of 08 I GUARANTEE IT
