No problem.  I'll add it to the list of other Cow word I had to mark.

1. Mark my words:  PS3 will launch in the Spring of 2006.

2. Mark my words:  PS3 will retail for around $300.

3. Mark my words:  PS3 will not have 2 SKU's.

4. Mark my words:  PS3 will blow the 360's graphics out of the water.

5. Mark my words:  Killzone was realtime.

6. Mark my words: VF5, DMC 4, GTA 4, will all be PS3 exclusives.

7. Mark my words: PSN will be superior to LIVE.

8. Mark my words: PS3 will outsell the Wii and 360 within 6 months of it's release.

9. Mark my words: Sixaxis will be superior to the Wiimote.

10. Mark my words: in spite of horrible sales, the GBA outselling it and no supply issues since 3 weeks after it's release, the PS3 will still be number 1. (new)

*Looks at everything from SGD*

Nope there is still nothing that justifies it's pricetag nor it more compelling than anything that currently exists or will be released on the cheaper 360.

I want the PS3 to fail, but my 360 has nothing to do with that desire.

I want it to fail because:

1.  I don't want the industry to think that trojaning an agenda apart from videogames e.g. a movie format at the expense of the gamer is a good idea.

 2.  I don't want future console makers to be rewarded for smoke and mirrors marketing, CGI and flat-out lies.

3.  I don't want future videogame CEO's to be complete lunatics.

4.  I don't want future videogame consoles to think that gamers will pay any price for their machines.

5.  I don't want future videogame makers to continue to make the process of game development a difficult one.

Basically, the vast majority of the decisions that Sony made with this console were not good for the gamer or the industry.  It's lackluster sales, mass exodus of exclusives and it's overall tipping on the edge of failure is a great message to the future Sony consoles, the future MS consoles, Nintendo and whoever else jumps in this ring.

If the PS3's failure continues, we can hope to see a gaming future where they listen more to what the gamer wants instead of telling them what they want.  We will see console makers focus on VIDEOGAMING and not movies.  We will see companies realize that price DOES matter.  We will see console makers use proven technology.  We will see console makers that develop with the developer in mind.

If the PS3 succeeds then I hate to see the lessons learned by the industry if Sony's horrible decisions were rewarded.

I have my beef with Microsoft too, mostly in their quality department, however, they made decisions that were ultimately good for gaming and the gamer while Nintendo has cleverly discovered a way to expand an already huge market to non-gamers.

lmao, go look up the word gullibletonythestudent

I took your advice and according to www.websters.com "gullible" is defined as those who believe MGS 4 will remain exclusive to the PS3.

Thanks for the lead on the clarification bro!

Technically, they can say that.  Since the 360 does not have motion control like the SIXAXIS, Lair "in it's current form" cannot be done on the 360.

I think we've seen enough evidence in multiplat games to put these stupid arguments to rest.  But if a game like Lair uses motion sensing well, which all indicators thus far shows that it does, then that may be the actual advantage PS3 games will have, because it's certainly not functionality nor graphics thus far as promised.

OMG I forgot how sad I'm going to feel in April.  I mean I know that at the end of March, I'll be playing the Oblivion Expansion, when does that come out for PS3 again?  Oh I'll be enjoying the new map pack for R6: Vegas, when does that come out for the PS3 again?  I'll be enjoying GRAW 2 still, the superior version of MLB 2k7 and of course Guitar Hero 2.

Man I'm am oh so sad, if only someone would make a sims-like online experience for me to show off my porn jpeg. to my friends then my life would be complete.

Everytime I see one of these posts I recall the image of the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner hanging behind Dubya on that Aircraft Carrier in the Persian Gulf. 

In fact I think most Cows would be great Bush staffers.

[QUOTE="danneswegman"]36 year olds tend to have a little more cash ....Game13a13y

yep, especially when you're single and living with your parants. :lol:

According to studies the average gamer is at age 29. 

Your response shows where your maturity level is at.

Your assenine assumption is on par with the assumption that Nintendo is only for kids and since you have Mario in your sig you must be 8 years old. (Although your response would indicate that to be more true than your affinity for Mario.)

Do you plan to stop gaming when you hit a certain age?  No?  Then why are you assuming that this person is any different?

Should a 36 year old not engange in an intelligent discussion with a 13 year old on a videogame board?  One of the great things about the internet is that it has no bias on age.  A kid with a great intelligent response is just as respectable as an adult with one.  Videogames are great.  Their appeal is ageless and discussing such should be ageless as well, until children make stupid repsonses like yours that is.

No nothing is confirmed.

However, we know about the leaked pics from their "testing labs".

We have numerous reports albeit their credibility is in question about meetings being held regarding the Zephyr to numberous outlets.

We have reports of product SKU's for the new machine showing up in retail stores like GameCrazy.

MS have cut their shipping alotments for the year, which is a standard practiced by most companies like Apple prior to the release of a new product line.

In other words, there is enough stuff out there to all but confirm that a new 360 is coming, but however, nothing has been officially confirmed.

A.  Nothing is confirmed.
I know there is enough evidence out there now to support that this IS happening, but nothing is yet confirmed by MS.

B.  We do not know if MS will implement a trade-in plan.
Sure us early adopters can gripe about this, but if MS offers a Premium +$50 trade-in deal, who isn't going to love that?

C.  Blame Apple. 
Ms is just following what could be an industry trend set primarily by Apple and it's iPod.  When there is a generation of people out there willing to drop hundreds on a new iPod every year, others are going to take notice.

The fact is until there is more than just rumors and speculation, I'd resist the urge to look like a potential moron in the future.
