Nothing stopped me but getting tired of my 360 having issues and wanting to try something new. Yeah I wish my PS3 had more games, but hopefully that will change. Also, I am very interested in Uncharted so that helped out as well.

I also got tired of FPS's too.

Still love both systems though.

Price and games. The only PS3 games I'm remotely interested in are Warhawk, Killzone 2 and GT5. Literally, thats it. Right now the main use for my PS3 (once I finally get one) will be as a BR player, and I'm not paying anything higher than $250 for some pretty looking DVD's.

The price and the fact that it currently doesn't have any games that I desperately want to play. From the looks of things that's going to change next year.

well, honestly, i have so many great ps2 games that if i bought a ps3 at this point , all i would be doing is just playing my ps2 games on it...because none of the ps3 games out right now really "appeal" to me, i guess.

i guess i'll buy one with MGS4 comes out.

...

i'am still undecided if i want to buy a Wii....

and i'am starting to get really bored with my 360....

so yeah.

1st and 2nd choices.

I refuse to pay $600 for a console. Never have, never will. It's just too high regardless of the console. I can easily pay it but i refuse to.

The $400 price point that may be true though will convince me to get one.

No option for me to choose.

I'm not getting one, because Sony took to long to appeal to me. As a one time Sony supporter, I don't care what games you have to offer me. I'm not spending $500 on any system unless it is a PC. Too many delays, so I just said forget it im not going to standby Sony anymore and picked up a Wii and an Xbox 360. I don't even plan on getting a PS3 because out of the two that I have now, PS3 really has nothing to offer me.

The main thing that is stopping me from getting a PS3 is the price. A minor thing though is the controller, I really dislike the analogue set up on their controllers, it's just plain uncomfortable to me.

it costs too much considering i already have a 360 which will always be my primary console and i'd like to have money to buy the games that i want for it.

even then, i don't really care any of the ps3 games. (GoW 3 would be cool but i prefer Ninja Gaiden; maybe Ratchet and Clank but that's still only 2 games) Everything else seems better on a 360 imo.

fanboys are going to say the games, because that is something Sony doesn't have direct control over. I think that most people look at the price, before they look at the games. Because in all honesty, It has some good games. Resistance, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, and a few good multiplats like Oblivion and Rainbow Six Vegas. It's not like the average consumer looking for a console (read: non-fanboy) looks at the games and says "eww, no halo or bioshock? wtf?"

If the price is right, and depending on what they have heard about said console, they will either buy it or leave it. but at $399, a PS3, even if its just for the blu-ray player, is a heck of a deal.

So all the people saying "the games suck" are either EXTREMELY picky, or haven't even played one, and are just rabid fanboys. (most likely the later)

Price and lack of games. I can forgive ONE of those things, but not both. A $399 PS3 option might be worth be worth buying even if I still have to wait for a proper library.

Price

No games at the minute

Some people won't believe me, but none of the games coming out in the next 6-12 months really interest me whatsoever with the exception of LBP and I don't know if it would hold my interest long term.

for me it was many things, and i was so looking forward to the ps3, before it launched

for one, the lack of quality games, theres no reason to buy one now, no games stands out that i like
the price is way too high, i dont care about blu-ray so thats not a price justification for me
lack of rumble, a tiny problem being solved, but its still not applied yet
also, sony's way of handling the press, news and conference all made me dislike the sony and playstation brand
also to note is the great lineup of games on the 360, wich as a console is the best alternative to a playstation on the generation of video games, as of now

I would vote for both 1 & 2. I'm enjoying my 360 a lot and dont see any reason to buy the ps3 yet. I rather wait 2-3 years for the price to go down then buy it. And by that time there should be a good amount of good games out, so I would actually spend a lot of time on it.

I really want one, but the price is really keeping me away. I won't spend more than 3-4 hundred because it would be a secondary system, so it looks like I'll be waiting a while.

I know the price is definatly a big reason why not to get the ps3, but the games are actually pretty good now. Just because It doesnt have super hyped games liked halo 3 and Bioshock. It doesnt mean that the ps3 doesnt alreadyhave good games. Resistance and Warhawk are really great games.They could havehad moregood gamesI admit, butevenbetter games are coming soon. Give the ps3 a chance or even just try some of the games and then state your opinion. Remember, the people who were responsible for the great ps2 are responsible for the ps3.

Same here -- too busy with the ridiculous amount of quality games for my 360.

Well, that and the fact that I have a little common sense...

Too expensive for the games it delivers. For a price that high I'd want something at least equal to or better than the 360s current line up.

As Sony have seemingly adopted a "Just You Wait" policy for any worthwhile games I'm quite happy to adopt a "Just You Wait" policy for Sony getting my cash.

All the prelaunch arrogance and PR bull meant I lost a lost of trust/faith in Sony and they've got to work to get that back, in Europe the game playing public have been treated like mugs... and not all of us are going to forget that ever happened and buy an over priced console with very few worthwhile games.
