Who still has faith in PS3? Who has lost it?

Sony is essentially doing everything it can to detract from the reality of their system, like a seventy year old man trying to pick up college chicks in his sports car, they're in a world of denial. Home doesn't change that every compelling game on the system is going multiplat, or that their system is significantly more expensive than the competition.

I have no faith that a game they announce as "exclusive" will remain exclusive unless it's published by Sony, The same can be said for Microsoft, but choosing between "Ratchet & Clank" or "Resistance" and "Halo 3", "Gears of War", et cetera... it's not a hard decision.

If FF XIII goes multiplatform (as the white engine rumors imply... and every "this game is going multiplat" rumor has come true so far) then what reason is their to own a PS3? Fanboyism. The few people for whom Blu-Ray actually matters at this point aren't going to buy into the PS3, and eventually superior quality HD-DVD / Blu-Ray players will be the choice of A/V buffs - generaly consumers would be wise to wait until the prices drop and the dust settles, especially since for most movies there's no reason to re-buy your entire DVD library.

I've lost all faith in Sony. They seem to be floundering in the water with no real clue as to what their consumers want. They lack the games or online infratstructure to appeal to a hardcore gamer like myself, and their high-pricing and generally nickel-and-diming ways are ill at odds with the general consumer. Wii wins with casuals, 360 with the hardcore - PS3 is going to become a niche system... a niche full of bitter fanboys and shell-shocked early adopters.

I lost it and jumped ship the instant I heard that a video game console would be selling for "five hundred ninety nine US dollars."foxhound_fox

lol thats pretty much the same with me. I still love my PS2 though.

well maybe if you took a minute to learn some english you would've known how to form a more cogent and legible sentence, instead of a handful of words that didn't convey what you intended ;) and I didn't post to shove my opinion on people, was just explaining my decision.

bitter fanboys? lol reminds me of fallout community! This crown will be removed and given to sony fanboys!!

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.BioShockOwnz

I lost faith in the PS and the PS2 at launch aswell, then they turned out to be arguably the best consoles ever made.rpg9000owner

sony's first party will pull it through whatever 3rd party exclusives are lost... imo.useLOGIC

 Sony has a very weak first party output, they are much more reliant on third parties.

you started by quoting someone who said that he doesn't need people telling him what to think and then saying "has nothing to do with that" and "can't figure out how you jumped to that conclusion".

Let him enjoy his PS3, if you don't like it, then its your business. Don't quote him LOL.

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.

Yeah But if Sony didnt have blu-ray I think they would be winning right now because the system would be alot cheaper without it meaning that it would have sold about as much or maybe even more than the Wii at this point
