Well, that's just some random person blabbing about the fact that he was clueless about all the great PS3 titles available, and was so incredibly biased against it, he couldn't have said a positive word about the PS3 if you paid him.

Werner doesn't say anything positive about any console, so far as I've seen.  Die-hard Hermit, he is.

o really? must have changed his tune recently.  I hadn't noticed the conversion.  Probably because he doesn't post in this forum much anymore.

No FF13 in 2007?  Did I miss something?  Because that's big for them in Japan.  Otherwise, Nintendo really will run away with the motherland.

Had me up until he said "The Notebook"... then I had to immediately disagree with everything he said. I agree that it is still way to early to tell who is going to "win", but I also do think that if Sony doesn't come through with the last few promises they have made, meaning that these games live up to the hype that everyone on these boards is giving them, they are definitely in some big time trouble. The second half of this year, mainly the "holiday season", is going to be very, very interesting.

I am surprised they did not talk about the price more. True the games are really hurting the PS3 but the price is also. I think this Christmas 360 will drop their price and will be interesting to see if PS3 is even able to and by how much.

The truth lies in the Matrix trilogy. The humans are the good guys and there are more of them than the agents.

Agents are evil, and they want to oppress the people. 

Agent smith is the wildcard. He consumes everybody in alarming rate.

If he offers you some pills and mentions some rabbit hole, just slowly walk away and avoid eye contact.

Well they are making money of the premium but I doubt Elite they are. If they did drop price by $100 though they would not loose much money off each Elite. They would push a ton more systems though. 360 sold around one million systems in NA I think last Dec so with a price drop even more. And with a bunch of big name games comming out from now till Christmas. I am just saying that $100 drop for PS3 may not help them that much because $500 still a lot also they would be loosing around $300 off each console. $100 for 360 would though help them and really secure a win over PS3. At least IMO.

Flopping yes , but a failure ? It is too early for that.  It is best to wait about a year to see what happens. The ps3 is going to be cheaper in a years time , the exclusives are coming towards the end of this year starting with Lair , the ps2 will finally die for most people , GTA IV is releasing this year , HD will grow , their online will improve , Home is coming , E3 excitement , upcoming holiday , etc. 

If you look at the 360's recent sales you can probably gather that people are just waiting and still playing their ps2s for now so we don't yet know how some of these "lost" exclusives (besides GTA IV) will really damage the ps3 longterm.I  think they are overlooking Resistance as well. Great launch game and a great online game. And now you can download games and still do other things so that is one lame complaint already taken care of.

That video is very old. that video was before Home was announced, before PSN started to get PSone games for download for PS3 and before the firmware update that allowed multiple downloads while playing games and chatting etc.  If you notice in minute 7.50 he says "I want to be able to play games while downloading content" so yea this video is old, i would like to see a interview now since home was announced

I hate waiting, yet the Playstation brand has never let me down.  I grew up and Nintendo didn't by deciding to stay behind and abandon me, whereas M$'s greedy @$$ decided to screw me over with the elite.  To answer the question "Is PS3 a failure", no it just needs time.  The thing is time waits for no man!

I agree sir. I really think that MS dropped the ball big time. Rather than releasing the "Elite" (sad excuse for something called an elite if you ask me), they really should have dropped the price if not $100, than at least $50. This would then entice all the people who were on the fence as two which system they would end up purchasing and help them compete with the price point of the Wii (which seems to be killing because it is so cheap, amongst other things). Then later on this year, around the Holiday season MS could have released the Elite with the upgraded processing chip, wireless built in, and just an all around better built unit. This way the IPTV would already be out and so people would finally have a reason to have a HDD that big, the second wave of killer titles would be out, and they could then really put some serious pressure on Sony.

There was a 'top 10 worst consoles' thing they did recently, and the PS3 is supposedly among them. I can't tell you for certain, because I haven't seen it myself. I don't think that's fair to be honest, because I can name ten horrid consoles, if you give me time, that were far, FAR worse. Right now, I can think of the CD-i, the Phantom (aptly named), the Virtual Boy, Atari 5200, PSX, the Jaguar...see that is SIX off the top of my head. Four more have to be out there.

Home is cool and all, but i wish people would stop acting like it'll single-handedly turn around the playstation 3's popularity.

The problem with this interview aside from not mentioning all the great games that are coming out for the PS3 by the end of year, is the fact the interview is 3 months old. The interview took place in the middle of a game drought, before the European launch and before home was announced. A month later there is an interview titles "Has the PS3 struck back" where the general consensus on the show was that the PS3 is heading in the right direction.  I think everybody should wait a year and see how the consoles are doing then.
