If the PS3 is only purchased by people with a $1500 and up HD television, it will have poor sales indeed.

Again not my point.People will pay,and are paying.We have seen the sales of PS3.In the starting it was beating even PS2.And it has beaten its competitor xbox 360 ever since it came out.Until the tempting price drop of 360.That wont matter much in the long term.

If it continues it's current sales rate, it will never reach the PS2's dominance and will only catch the 360 near the end of the supposed 10 year lifecycle.

Not exactly a recipe to surpass the PS2's sales.

Sales always fluctuate and thats bussiness.People at sony know ALOT better than us.

Anyone else getting bored of the anti-Killzone 2 threads? There's literally 2 or 3 every day.Floppy_Jim

Dont get me started ! Actually there are like at an average rate 2-3 anti ps3 threads everyday at SW.I cant believe people are jealouse of it so much.Anyway gamespot SW would change NOTHING so dont really care.

TC, to be honest it all depends on your taste.

What type of games do you like ?

If you are a general player who prefers any good game than i suggest you wait and get Far cry 2.A good game for your money with map builder and over 80 hours of campaign.

LBP is another good choice.With infinite amount of gameplay i doubt that you`ill regret its purchase.

But in the end its all about your taste.

so are facts ;)

i hope you're not saying that "MGS4 > Xbox 360 Exclusive Line Up" is a fact

Opinions are fun but whats more funny is that majority of the people make decisions from their opinions :).

Yes it will.But Playstation realeases a new console with in the life time of their old console.Example they released PS2 in 1990,after 6 years launch of PS1.But that didnt stop production for PS1 titles uptil 2005.Similarly PS3 was launched in 2007.But again it hasnt stopped production of PS2 titles and will not until 2010.

Sony is clever.Ps1 sold over 100 million consoles and PS2 has sold over 140 million units uptil now.Can only imagine what PS3 will do.

alot less thanks to its price tag

Sorry no LBP for 360.

They both are completely different types of games and cant be compared.

You can compare any game visually with crysis but in the end Crysis comes out on the top and the most important reason for that is its setting i.e. An island with green lush forest,beaches,palm trees...etc..Alll of them are HEAVEN.

The only game and gaming engine,visually as good as Crysis and a little bit more realistic is Dunia engine (Far Cry 2).A 50 sqr km land ALL STREAMING AT ONCE WITHOUT any LOADING.Thats a major achievement.But once again,Crysis is still more beautiful only because of its setting :).

skrat_01

Operation Flashpoint (2001) did massive maps that dwarfed everything up until its follow up ArmA in 2006.

FC2s is petite.

ArmA is ahem

Over 400km square in size

All at once... streaming.

;)

Pretty OFP in 01 did more than 50....

Arma might have had big maps streaming at once but it didnt have ANY of the ADVANCE FEATURES of Far Cry 2.Which made it alot easier to stream at once.Far Cry 2 has ALL the ADVANCE features of Cryengine 2/Crysis and at the same time its HELL bigger than Crysis.Here are some comparisons :

Heres a tech demo of Dunia Engine (More realistic than anything i have seen):

Are you insinuating that you still expect the PS3 to outsell the PS2? I haven't thought that was going to happen for a long time, so I was wondering what your rationale was.

Yes i personally think that it will be near it or maybe over it somewhere in 2013-2015.But everything takes its time.

[QUOTE="lesner87"]Somewhere near 2010.Or maybe Q1 of 2010.L1qu1dSword

Funny how cows no longer say 2008 and fewer and fewer say 2009.

I started posting in SW a few weeks back :S.
