[QUOTE="Playstation00"]

It doesn't take much besides viewing the current video game sales charts to see the PS3 is quickly losing the battle. Anyway I will give some reasons as to why Sony at this point is fighting a losing battle

1. Consumer is just not buying it. Maybe its the Wii, Maybe it's the 360 being released a full year ahead of the PS3, THIS SYSTEM JUST IS NOT SELLING. If the current sells continue, just to give you a idea of how badly this thing is selling, the Nintendo Wii will have more then 20 million sold and the PS3 will still have sold well under 10 million. Ouch, at this rate the 360 can stop selling all together and still have more sales than the PS3 by the end of the year. PS3 IS4 quickly becoming a distant third worldwide.

2. Microsoft 360 Elite. Sources are already stating the demand for the Elite is high and it hasn't been released yet. More bad news for the PS3.

3. XBOX 360 killed it. Just face it the 360 is the household name for this gen. (Wii don't count). It will take a miracle at this point for the PS3 to even have half the userbase the 360 has.

4.Price is not an issue, it's the competition and lack of interest for the machine that is. Don't believe the consumer is not willing to spend $500+ on video games. This is not ten/fifteen years ago When it was considered taboo for systems to even sell for more than $200. It is accepted in 2007 that if you want a next gen console, then your going to have to spend some serious money. With that said the PS3 is not selling because A) the majority of gamers have already decided the 360 and Wii will decide who win the war and B) There are still bitter PS2 fans that are mad at Sony for taking the PS3 in the direction they did and therefore boycotting the console by saying things like it's unaffordable.

5. PS3 released at the wrong time. Their entire marketing department should be blamed for this. Why would they release it two days before the Wii. It doesn't add up. They are trying to win this gen are they.

6. They messed up. Where are the games, where is the custom in game music, where is that PS2 momentum.

With 360 at 10 million and Wii at almost 7 million by now in sales the PS3 has just a little over 3 million in sales. It is almost crunch time for Sony, If they have any chance at winning this war they better start getting consumers to buy PS3s and actually move them units instead of haveing more than fifty percent of them sit in factories and warehouses. There should be no excuse for this system not to sell. 360 is not necessarily cheap when you add in live and its accessories yet it still sells.

hmm.. Did u know that the poeple who are not buying the ps3 will eventually get 1. It doesn't matter how long they take to get 1 but poeple will buy.

possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard...

so my parents are going to by one? and my grandma? and myself?

I highly doubt it, and by highly I mean never.. I really hope you just worded that wrong, and not that ignorant... 

[QUOTE="project343"]I fail to see what makes Far Cry so special. From what I've played of its several incarnations, it seems to be nothing but an average FPS...cobrax75

play the PC original, that was the only one that was actually made by Crytek.

yeah the PC version is 100% different than the console versions. 

Crysis may shine,but the gameplay looks outdated,nothing revolutionary in that department.Dualshockin

hahaha, says dualshockin.

aside from that note :roll:

Crysis looks amazing. The game play looks amazing, and how the guns have all these types of settings, and I was reading in PC gamer about the crazy controls for the giant alien walkers.

I'm really excited for this game. 

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]Apple is coming out on top in the OS war... ;)

You know it.ragrdoll21

hahaha, nah.  

hahaha. Microsoft isn't going anywhere.

It's is one of the largest corperations around. And one of the most profitable.

MS isn't going anywhere. 

Mine would have to be playing Road Rash 64. I was going along and some guy came next to me and started to ram me and we were ramming eachother for a bit, and i went far out to the right, and slammed him really hard and he went into the next lane and got absolutley NAILED by a semi.

It was my first amazing moment in my gaming history (probably, it was at least the most memorable haha It's hard to remember back that far.)

What are some of your amazing moments in your video game playing history?  

yea the PS3 selling bad in the U.S is part of sony's "plan"........................:lol:Zero-G_basic

Genious!!!

Sony marketing meeting- "Okay guys we have a problem, but I have the perfect resolution, get this, lets lose a LARGE sum of money, get into dead last in console sales, put a huge price tag on our console, force people to adapt blu-ray, and keep lying, and making idiots our selves. So...how bout' it?!"

 Who ever came up with that business plan deserves a promotion, RIGHT THIS SECOND.

i'd rather have the 360s exclusive library. sure its all shooters, but they're high quality AA-AAA titles.

i'd rather have AA-AAA shooters than mediocre-A diverse games (aka. PS3's current library.)

Then why are you on these forums making a fool of your self?

get out :)
