I'm not a cow, more sheep, but it's painful to see Sony beating themselves up here. The Home announcement was all well and good, and I'm dying to see it in action, but now with DMC gone multiplat too, are some of you cows losing faith? Manticores as well? PSWiis or PS360s? I myself think they can turn it around if this is the last of the really bad news for a good while. If not, I'm not sure how they will keep sales up enough to keep the 3rd parties supporting them. What do you guys think?

I own all 3 consoles and i'm REALLY hoping to see some good news come out of the sony camp. We bought the 600 dollar console and I'd really like to feel like i made the right decision with some good games.

Lost it in December 2006. Started loosing it after E3 2006. Ace Combat 6 and DMC 4 coming to 360 are just icing on the cake.

I think the PS3 still might have somewhat of a promising future.  But stuff like losing DMC 4 and their pathetic attempt to have an online with "Home" is not making the road any easy.

Prediction, I would say the only thing keeping them afloat right now is "fan loyalty" and the possiblity of "BluRay" winning the format war.  (Why anyone would use their console to play movies is beyond me though).  If it didn't have these 2 things, the system would of crashed even harder than it has, and most probably would of went the way of the DC.

Sony is over. XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii are your best consoles and I don't see Sony over taking them unless the PS3 drops their price by about $200 bucks in the next year.

I'd love to see Sony Pull themselves threw this slump but its gonna take a major decision basically they have to admit that they A. It was wrong to make the production cost so high by including a Blu-Ray player and/or Find a way to Drastically Lower the price. EDIT: DMC is going Multiplat Wow I hadn't heard that life just got better for me, now all I need is MGS to go to Multiplat and I almost no reason to own a PS3. Heavenly swords looks great but now people are clamoring for GOW3

Sony will be fine.  Even if they were to finish third this time around, which they won't, I think that all 3 companies will have enough marketshare that it will be worth their while to stick around when this gen is over.

Okay, good answers. Now riddle me this, cows and other P3 loyalists (myself included).

What would it take for you to lose it all? MGS? Final Fantasy? Lack of improvements in the online area? What would it take for you to say "**** this"?

For me....MGS, since its really leading the charge from what I'm seeing on here. Cows get pretty frightened when a thread comes along asking what they would do if it went multiplat. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Squeenix slept around a little more, so Final Fantasy, oh well if that goes.

Like I said I buy multiplatform games.. So even if MGS or whatever game went to the 360 it wouldnt make a difference at all to me. Sony develops games and they have the franchises and games I want.

 And meh .. DMC4 going multiplatfrom does suck for a PS3 perspective but hey -- im still buying it on PS3 not 360 ... so it dosnt really effect me does it .,..

Hmmm, that's a tough question. It would most likely be when games such as Ratchet, FF, White Knight Story are said to be multiplats (Yes, I know 2 of these are 2nd party. Just go along with me for a bit). Then, if series such as MGS, Suikoden, Breath of Fire, and Wild Arms all went to 360. I'd still have Nippon Ichi Soft. to fall back on but if that gets pulled. I could go on for a long time. It would take Sony buckling and pretty much falling apart.

the 2 biggest problems i have with the ps2, i think this the same for most people..

1. its way too expensive, blu ray, yello ray, i don't care, its a games system, and no game system is worth that much.

2. some 80-90% of ps3's heavy hitters are available or are scheduled to be released on other platforms, theres 2 big exclusives left, 3, if they ever get round to god of war 3, but even still £425 just to play 3 games..

.. but i think theres still hope for the ps3, if sony can get their act together, reduce the price, establish new exclusive IPs and lots of them, then yeah i think they could bounce back..

choasgod

That list gets smaller all the time. Something else leaves, the same list pops up another title short. I really hope it stays where it is. I mean, I frankly believe everything should be multiplatform except for first party games. Obviously couldn't happen, devs would go bonkers ofcourse, among other problems. But that's how I would like it.

Although...if FF XIII doesn't go anywhere...I'll really be desparate for a PS3...

I find it very strange that there hasn't been any sort of inkling of announcement of any JRPGs for ps3 yet. Other then WKS of course. My favorite of the bunch DQ, has gone to Nintendo, and I just hope the others don't do the same.

If the PS3 will have MGS4, FF13, SoC2, GoW3, GT5, Ico 2(3 of these 5 is good enough for me) as exclusives than you bet i'll be getting it.

 I'm really strapped for cash and there are so many things I want. I look at my PS3....empty, no controllers, cords, cables, box. Man its becoming a lost cause. I'm not a fan of MGS4 so all that leaves for me is Final Fantasy. I can't deal with having a console that does nothing but sit around.

 Sure Wii isn't all that great either but Trauma Center and Wiisports are fun and I'll eventually buy Zelda after school. Then I can go buy Metroid Prime and Smash later on. I can also have fun with people playing together. Playstation brand has been to me practically a single player experience. But practically everything on PS3 is coming to 360 except games like Heavenly Sword, Warhawk ect.

Then I ask myself why would I spend my severely limited cash on games that aren't anything but exceptional? College is killing me I don't need three systems. Bioshock, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, Forza 2 and practically "Always" having the best version of multiplat games is a greater reason for me to spend on 360 then to chance it on PS3 and games like Heavenly Sword and WarHawk. So its decided. The PS3 is being sold for $400 (Its a 20 GB version) I'm selling it to my brother though so at least its in the family and will still remain in the house over the summer :P

I want all consoles, so this isn't fanboyish (I admit to not liking SONY one bit, but I want a PS3.) However, now that they lost DMC4, if they lose MGS4 too, I'm seriously going to question myself on "do I really want to spend over 100$ for this system" ? HOME had a reverse effect on me, it turned me off, so... it's not looking too good this week for my PS3 expectations.

Nobody should be shocked by DMC going multiplat.  The TRUTH is, these games have huge budgets that make it difficult for a non-first party developer and publisher to profit from off of one console.  Expect to see just about every third party game go multi-plat after a time exclusivity period.  Why wouldn't a publisher tack on the 15% of developement cost to port to another console and reep the benefit of a whole new market?  They practically have to with the developement costs so high.  Expect the FF series, MGS series and whatever previous third party PS3 games to go multi plat just like the Elder Scrolls series has.  The reason the PS3 are loosing the time exclusivity is because there are stipulations in these contracts that provide the developer an "opt out" priviledge.  In the PS3's case, it's market share obviously can't support a third party title, so these publishers and developers are opting out and releasing the game multiplat.

I think PS3 could still be more successful then the 360. I like both consoles. I know the Wii will win the console war because of the price though.

I'm in the exact same ship as you man, but I'm selling mine to a friendly local indie game outlet. Owner told me that he's had 11 PS3s come in used over the last 3 days, lol. He's giving me 500$CDN for a 60gig with HDMI cables and a game.

has nothing to do with that.. and i -for the life of me- can't figure out how you jumped to that conclusion. its the lack of decent exclusives and the heavy price tag - nothing to do with reviews.

i personally can't stand MGS, prefer Forza to GT, and have hated FF since Sakaguchi left (and now he's making games for 360 LOL).

seriously -- not much to hold out for here. i'm not 12, so i don't find PSHome interesting in the least. i dunno, i had high hopes, and my friends mocked me for it -- and the time has come for me to let go i think.

For some reason, i've never had a interest in all M$'s exclusive games.

I still have faith in PS3. All the management have since shut their mouths or started saying "humane" words. Phil Harrison's interview with 1UP show reassured my faith in the console. (The part when he spoke about rumble).
