it depends on ppl'spreference.not everyone can like the same thing just like wii sells the most but lot of hardcore gamers hait it but to other ppl its fun.

one of the reasons ps3 dont sell as much is that most parents are not gonna buy their 9 year old kid a $399 machine with bluray, blueblooth, wifi,80-120gb HDD.

i also notice ps3 was selling more or almost the same as 360 monthly but when the $199 the gap increased

[QUOTE="RotaryRX7"]Actually, that's a reason no one buys it. Not a reason no one likes it. I can't afford any Lamborghini's, but I like them. See the difference? lol

I like the PS3 and lamborghini's im just not willing to spend the cash for them. IT doesnt matter how many people like them, it's how many people buy them

Load of hooey. Same could be said about the XBOX or GC last gen, and it would be equally false. The PS3 is a system that had a lot going for it - most notably, a name brand which Sony knew would get them assured buys whatever they did. Sony used this name brand to Trojan horse technology into peoples' living room, at the expense of the average consumer... While the competition delivered more, faster, for less money. The reason the PS3 has done as well as it has is because people couldn't make their own decisions - so many people blindly jumped on the PS bandwagon expecting another PS2, and they've been slapped in the face for it. People not making their own decisions is what kept the PS3 in the game, not what has kept it in last place. If MS had released the hardware of the PS3, and Sony had released the hardware of the 360, MS wouldn't even be in the running. Blind loyalty is the main reason Sony is even competitive this gen.Shafftehr

What did they sneak in with their trojan PS3? Bluray? Just like DVD in the PS2? :roll:

Nope, not just like they did in the PS2 - but Sony fanyboys like to pretend like it's a mirror situation. But there are notable differences.. For one, DVD over VHS is a *huge* leap in capability and general technology, whereas Blu-Ray is... A bigger DVD. Whoopidty doo. For two, digital distribution is a very real competitor to Blu Ray which is poised to steal a lot of BR's thunder - which will make BR an uncecessary addition for a lot of movie fans... But if they want PS, they get (and pay for) Blu-Ray. Again, making BR in a video game console an imposition. Three, DVD was notably further along in its lifespan when the PS2 was released than Blu-Ray was in its lifespan when the PS3 was released. As in, the unwilling consumer foots more of the bill, rather than the willing technophile. Four... The PS3 cost $300 more than the PS2 did at launch - that's twice the price! Sad, seeing as the PS2 launch lineup would take a big wet steaming dump on the PS3's. I'll take the sign that you only chose one thing in my entire post to roll your eyes at as a grudging admission that I hit the nail on the head. Thanks for agreeing that Sony pretty much bunngered up their golden egg laying brand name. And after hearing this... Can you seriously say that the PS2/DVD thing was JUST like the PS3/Blu-Ray thing? Or are you really so steeped in Playstation doublethink that you think that with a straight face?

i agree, also, EVERYONE could benefit from DVD because it was SD, not everyone stands to benefit from bluray because the HD attach rate is what??? 25%?? PS2 allowed people to have DVD players in their rooms, or anywhere, whereas most people dont have HD TVs in their living rooms, let alone the bedroom.
