i highly doubt thatR-Dot-Yung

You highly doubt that sony is cutting back their production? Why?  It seems like a pretty logical step to me.   Sony said they shipped 5.5 million units for the fiscal year (340,000 less than Nintendo's Wii).  There is some debate about how many have been sold, but lets say 3.5 million.

That means there are 2 million PS3's sitting on shelves.   Look at the NPD numbers and its pretty apparent that the demand just isnt there right now. So what are they going to do with the new PS3's being made?

Sony either has to cut production, or rent warehouse space  to store the PS3's they are making and lose even more money.

Look at the sales numbers so far, then look at the number of PS3's that Sony has stated they have shipped so far. Now do the simple math.

Sony does have a supply problem, but their problem is that their supply is too great and they are going to have to scale back production. For Sony to claim that they are supply constrained is laughable.

No and no. Nintendo has a supply problem even though they are pumping out Wiis very quickly. Sony doesn't have a supply problem. See, in order for there to be a supply problem, there has to BE DEMAND. PS3 doesn't have demand and I ALWAYS see PS3s just sitting at Gamestop, Bestbuy, etc. I NEVER see a Wii anywhere.

I think you need to read what I wrote again.  I am saying that Sony has too much supply.  They are either going to have to scale back production so that not as many are being made, or they are going to have to store a ton of PS3s in warehouses until demand picks up.

 I was in no way saying that Sony is supply constrained.

What's that? The PSP and Playstation 2 sold more units than the Xbox 360?

Let's selectively divide up Sony Computer Entertainment and forget the fact they have 2 other machines doing very well. As a whole, Sony sold 459,000 machines.

Let's keep dividing them up though! It's fun! And it sways arguments to favor one side!

Exactly the joke is on M$ whose original console is collecting dust sitting on people's shelves while the PS2 is still selling strong and making profits from its still alive library. People don't see it but PS2 is just milking it right now and has already paid for it's own develpment costs and now taking the load off the PS3's cost. Can you say the same about the Xbox? Which to this day has not made a single profit for the company from hardware department.

With Sony losing 2 billion dollars in the past fiscal year, it doesnt look like the PS2 is doing a good enough job of "taking the load off" for the PS3's cost.

I want to know which one will give me the better experience.error11

Hands down its The Godfather.  I own both and I play Godfather far more then I play Redsteel. 

Looks good for a Xbox game, lame for a 360 game. Why can't people admit the graphics are below par?. This is Halo we're talking about, one of the biggest games on the planet with a massive budget, yet it looks like a Xbox 1 game.NickyJD

Agreed.  Yes its a beta, and yes the graphics will most likely improve for the final realease, but these graphics arent very impressive.  For a game that is supposed to be one of the biggest games for the 360 and is going to drive sales,  these graphics in their current state are definately sub par.  

Compared to existing games for 360, I am not sure how people can say that these graphics are "awesome". They dont look too "next gen" or "HD" to me. 

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Why must you bring up the games that OBVIOUSLY lack in the graphical department.im not saying that the Wii has awesome graphics, everyone knows it doesnt - but to constantly come into threads like this one and post images of games that obviously look bad on the Wii .. shows that you really must be a fanboy. and of course the games like DK Jet, SPM, and LoZ:TP's graphics wont be as good as ground up Wii games, because they are being PORTED from the GC.God, i cant explain it much farther then that. if you dont get it, you dont get it.

Your arguments are weak, and not only that...they are off topic.

I think this is the key point. Your average joe is not going to walk into walmart and see the PS3 sitting on a shelf with a sticker that says $600 and say "wow thats cheap". Nor are they going to care that it plays blu-ray discs.

Sure there is a percentage of the population that will be interested in blu-ray because they have shiny new HD TV's, but this is by far the minority. Most people are more then happy to watch DVD's on their SD television sets. At the end of the day, most people look to consoles to play games. $600 is just too much money for most people for a gaming machine.
