I didn't assume that you were speaking of PS3 sales because you have a PS3 sig, it is because that is the only way you posting that seemed to make any kind of sense. This is a thread speaking about Sony's lower earnings forecast, you said that the entertainment industry does well regardless, this forum deals with video games systems, hence the assumption.

Now you have assumed incorrectly as well.

Then we can close the discussion of whether I was speaking pro PS3 or not here right?

Yep :D

[QUOTE="aliasfreak"][QUOTE="kenshinhimura10"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="kenshinhimura10"]

I give you that. But only a fool can think that Sony is dying and that is based on economical facts. This period of crysis will see small companies fall, and big companies trip, but nothing more. If the studies are correct, this should be solved by late 2009.

Also, studies sho that entertainment is one of the few markets that grows more during periods of crysis compared to the rest.

The studies are more recent, done in growing countries, where during times of great economical unneasiness things related to entertainment see a boost. I recently did an esay based on the Latin American growing powers (as Chile and Brazil) and during their periods of recession, no more than 10 years ago top, this industry boomed above expected. Its easy to believe that the same can happen in other places.

What about his other point though? Sure, entertainment still does well because it lets people escape from the real world where things may not be going well for them. However, I imagine (like blue hazy basic) that they would go with the cheaper options. You can get lost in a DVD just as well as you can a BR. There is a HD console out there for $200 and a console that provides a whole other experience for $250.

But I never speaked on PS3 sales. It was just yours and his assumption given I have a PS3 on my sig. Which is where you guys fail at my point.

Edit: I see how you could be talking about Sony as a whole instead of just the gaming, but surely you understand the misunderstanding. This is a video game forum after all.

I could care less, but the chaos when it goes to 360 would be hilarious. I would enjoy seeing all the e-RAGEEEEdiped

Heh, that's how I feel. I found MGS2 incredibly boring and haven't cared about the series since. I just want to see what would happen here if it were to come true.

The people at my local Gamestop are incredibly friendly. If I buy a new game (which is what I usually do), they may say that they have a used copy, but they don't give me any kind of attitude if I turn them down.

I called there yesterday to ask about Dead Space and they didn't try to pressure me to preorder anything. They told me it would be in tomorrow and that was it.

iron_zealot7531

lol, i did the same thing yesterday

called to check if deadspace was available

only difference is that I got "would you like to preorder it"

"no thanks"

"you sure they'll go fast"(yeah because you deliberately order a small stock of them)

"i'm sure" *click*

Well, sucks for you, but I love my local Gamestop. It's the only place I buy games.

To everyone else, I would simply hope that this thread doesn't make you think twice about trying Gamestop. Try it out. If they treat you like crap, never go back. If they treat you well and you like the place, great. Don't let a generalization stop you from trying something.

I couldn't care less about multiplayer or SR2, so it is Dead Space all the way for me.
