The PS3 has become the EPITOME of what the TITANIC was in 1912

Yes just like the Titantic in 1912 it was to be the best EVER the most advanced EVER the most luxury EVER.

And what happened it SUNK!!!

All the same can be said and is happening before are eyes with the PS3.

And all for the same reasons.

BLIND ARROGANCE. And just assuming things will be fine.

And now with the latest rumor of a DAGGER in PSN going $$$.

PS3=1912 all over again in a gaming sense.

The PS3 is outselling any console in the history of start ups, it's the Lance Armstrong of the Consoles, it will dominate.

MS is loosing support for the HD-DVD format, they're loosing ground in Europe fast, and as soon as the MGS and FF will be released, all Japanese PS2 players will switch to PS3, effectively taking over the Japanese market.

Face it, the 360 hit the iceberg and it's sinking fast.

Are you trying to tell me that the PS3 is fit to carry hundreds of people across the ocean?

Okay. :|

This is about the dumbist thing on here. The PS3 has sold more units from the release date than any other console. Also once the developers learn how to use the power they will sell even more. Microsoft on the other hand is actually in some serious trouble if they keep doing what there doing. This happened once before to a major american company.

Show me numbers that MS is loosing ground in EUROPE? LOL did you just see the pics for the Korean release there was so many empy chairs they could of played musical chairs.

THE FACT is the 360 is selling good. And the PS3 numbers are PATHETIC only selling as much as the Gameboy Advance.

And all we keep hearing is Japan well you can not win if you don't have the USA just like all you say you can not win the Japan market.

The truth is this holiday season will be victory number 3 in a row for 360. With Halo 3 Mass Effect Boshock GTA4 exclusive content. PS3 will be dead last once againg this holiday.

I urge you to post these numbers you speak of for Europe becasue after the release the numbers SUNK fast over there. I though we all came to this as a known fact at this point.

Now you blow some fictional numbers out here were are they HUH???

In other words he is calling all developers no smarter then MONKEYS and can not seem to figure out a gaming device after a year and a half of development time. And still can not get games to even be on par as the 360 version.s

The TRUTH is the PS3 is just not designed well as far as a FUSION of componenets. It has good hardware but it's software and lack of other things CRIPPLE it like L2 cache issues and Ram flaws and slow Blu-Ray read speed.

All hinder this PR marketing gimmick of the PS3.

I love how the fanboys have all attened the Sony school of PR to spin facts and figures. Everytime I read those statements I am reminded of this comic:

I don't have any conection with Sony. This is something learned from lifes experiance and keeping up with as much past and present technology as possible. I tend to pay close attention to what is happening with things that's happening around me and the world.

No, it sunk because the rivets were rusted through, due to being the wrong type of metal, and all it's balast tanks were open topped, meaning that if one filled up, water would just flow into the next. The iceberg was just the catalyst.

1.000.000 consoles in the PAL region(it's been front page news right here on GS, just do a search), not the 360, not even the PS2 did THAT good. The PS3 is crushing all other console start-ups, just because it doesn't sell that much in the US, don't mean nothing, the US is NOT AS IMPORTANT AS YOU THINK, that also shows with the PS3's release, the place where the console war is won or lost is EUROPE, and EUROPE is showing the PS3 some big love right now(and Europe isn't the UK, the only Euro country that laggs behind in PS3 sales).

Wow. Talk about jumping to inane conclusions. While you could have made an intelligent and logical arguement comparing two examples ofthe sinking of the unsinkable...you instead revert to an illogical and extremely overly-simplistic excuse. INstead of making logical arguement you apparantly would much rather justify the irrational hatred for Sony you clearly harbour.

Here. Let me show you. If Sony sinks it won't be arrogance that did it. It would be an example of biting off more than they could possibly chew. Blu-ray increased costs and caused delays in launching. The Cell chip, while everyone agrees it is very powerful, also caused countless delays and developers are unfamiliar with its workings. All these delays meant developers couldn't make games when they should have and thus the lengthy launch drought we're seeing. Not to mention that the difficult hardware is ramping up dev costs with no sign they will sell as many games as if it were on the 360...so why bother?

Sony didn't hit an iceberg, but they are suffering from "death from a thousand cuts". Either way it could sink them.

THAT's how you do it. To think arrogance is the cause is simplistic to the point of being ridiculous and it makes you sound like a fanboy whining and trying to justify your predetermined bias.

Ignoring the -blatant- fanboy statements from both sides of the fence, let me just point something out to the TC.


During a Gamespot video piece, a Sony Rep was asked about the 'free'ness of PSN - he says they have no plan to charge, but anything can happen in the future.


BASICALLY, he is saving his ass, just incase for some reason they do decide to charge, and people come to him and go "YOU SAID THEY WOULDN'T CHARGE!"

Personally, I doubt that PSN will charge, as their PR is constantly pointing out the fact that the 'free'ness of it is one of its best points.

Do you know anything about Japanese culture? That's what they do, that's why the PS2 is still selling very well in Japan, it's because of FFXII, when it's time for FFXIII, they upgrade(it's what a lot of Japanese did with the PSone to PS2).

The USA is very important. It makes up about 45% of the gaming market.

And you claim to know about the industry!!:lol:

FFXII is popular for a couple of weeks. then it's off the chart because those are the rabid fans. it isn't generating any new sales for the ps2. ff13 might for the ps3. but it'll be less than 2 million. ff12 only sold 2.3 in japan and that was on the top console which is also a cheap console. why would i expect ff13 to do any better on a less popular console with huge size and price?

Dude, stop while your still behind. Why the hell would they pay $600 or the japanese equivalent for ONE DAMN GAME?! And its mighty interesting how all these PS2 owners, like me still havent made the jump to the PS3. The PS2 is whats causing problems for the no game library having PS3. :shock:

I don't have -any- clue what the 'next gen will start when we say' has to do with what was stated about PSN subscription possibility.

The SAME interview that is being used to FUEL these rumours, is the one I am using to point out how he openly stated they have NO plans to charge and are completely happy with the free aspect of PSN, and how that is a main advantage over Live. He ALSO said that he is not psychic, and does not know if they WILL charge in the future - and thats the part everyone is focusing on - not the clear statement of an undesire to not charge for PSN, no... people focus on the maybe-uncertaincy of not knowing whether or not plans will change in the future.

Tis an old picture - and slightly uncalled for now.

With a suprising increase in sales for the PSP for example (work in retail and literally see more PSP's being sold than DS's in the last 3 weeks).

Blu-Ray as a format, while not being as successful as DVD - is the most successful HD format.

Poor financials - maybe for a while, but with the increase of rev and profit from some of their major departments, it is offsetting a lot of the cost of setting up a new console.

And I don't think I really have to mention the PS3, it being an infant and all. While I do think it has a lot of room to improve.

And Ken jumped Ship and some how made it aboard one of the few lifeboats.

Even the Sony Capitan BAILED on the PS3TANIC
