[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="Trashface"][QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="Trashface"][QUOTE="Call_me_Daddy"] if you are so ignorant to judge a console by its first 3 months then i envy your ignorance and can only dream of the bliss you preside in.FatalDomain
If everyone would read the post carefully, what I was saying is that PS3 buyers could only give one reason for buying it, how great the future games are. Every one of the great games have dissapointed. If I were a PS3 owner, this trend would worry me. That is plenty logical and not narrow minded. What I just typed wasn't even judging the system. As I predicted, the whining and tears have ensued even though eveything I typed made perfect sense and was totally civil.Do you really think it's a new Idea to strike a system down when it's new?
The PS2 was lashed at horribly, and that flopped. :roll: Heck, all system's, including my 360, were bashed when they come out. Still, the major players are lining up, and all the system's offer something unique for gamers.
This isn't about dissing or judging a system. I was saying the big titles so far have gotten lackluster reviews and it could indicate a trend of poor games in the future and that this would worry me if I owned the system. Who knows, maybe the PS3 will drop it's price and release super-awesome games that will take over the world. I would be worried. We'll see.Sony has always had a propensity for having a mediocre to okay launch lineup, then approximately a Year Later, having the games people want.
What great PS2 games were out in this part of the PS2's life rocked? How about the PSOne? See what I mean.
Propaganda from other companies are just spreading like wildfire in online communities, but the thing is, like always, they will eventually fall flat.
In the meantime though, Will it sell a few more 360's? That's the nature of the game.
The examples you use is the reason the PS3 is in the situation it is today:
- When the PS1 launched it was in direct competition with the SNES and the Saturn. The Saturn was priced too high and excluded itself and the SNES was a aging machine. This gave Sony a nice window of opportunity to get its software up to speed and dominate the market.
-During the PS2 launch, the only competition it had at the time was the Dreamcast, a great lil system but didnt have the majority of industry support. This was another opoortunity for Sony to get things going to dominate the market.
I would like to say this is wrong the DC had great developer support(capcom for instance made a ton of games for DC powerstone 1&2, resident evil code veronica, sf3 third strike) not to mention its highest scoring game soul calibur was third party. I will admit it missed Ea who is big developer with the casual crowd but overall its 3rd parrty support was good and first party support was very strong. Financial reasons pushed sega out they could no longer compete against sony's marketing muscle and key mis steps in previous gens made it very difficult for them to develop a strategy to win the casual gamer because they did not have the money simply put. I think when they heard MS was entering the race it was the straw that broke the camels back the just could not see themselves competing in a 4 horse race with the weakest hardware and decided to become and 3rd party developer to better use it resources instead of losing moeny yet again like they did after the saturn and 32x fiascos.
-Now we have the PS3, a good gaming system but not a spectacular system. It launched in the face of two worthy opponents, one with a year catalog of games, and the other with a innovative, yet budget friendly console. This time Sony doesnt have the luxury of time to sit around, work things out and eventually provide the experience its consumers hoped for. Their business model of being fashionably late to the party that once brough success and profit is now biting them in the ass because they now realize the industry is not willing to wait on them to get up to speed.
Game On...
Well the industry is willing to wait by the amount of developer support sony has. fanboys in a forum do not equate the industry. Not calling you a fanboy but most of the criticism has come from fanboys. Sure there have been a few devs irked at sony but most of them are still developing for them heck team ninja who nabandoned the ps2 are developing sigma for ps3. The reason sony are not blazing out of the gate is more of nintendo and MS being better prepared this gen I still expect sony to finish up strong they always do...look at the ps2. they may not win but they will certainly make it interesting 3-4 years down the line
