I didn't write this, but I do agree with what he said:

Hi gamers, I am thinking to buy a new console. I was confused and I read "lot" of threads on the gamespot.

I have decided that I don't want to be a victim of the false hype.

Now I believe that there is "no logic" in buying the PS3 for at least 1 year. Rather buying xbox 360 and PS2 looks logical. Both of the systems have good games and are worth the price. PS2 has more worth than the price. Only problem with PS2, and it applies to PS3 as well, looks to be its company called Sony.



Is it true that Sony is expert in building a false hype and succeeds by victimizing many people with it? Best example is that some PS3 's have been sold even when it very expensive and has no games. I am sure some of the people who bought it were the victim of the false hype. This has gone to such extent that so called"fan-boys "have started to idolize PS3 and Sony.

Another example is killzone2. The first trailer was incredibly good and I read it somewhere that Sony said it was not CGI! but was "in-game". Isn't it a lie?
New trailer looks good but is already a step down from the first trailer. Well it is human psychology to accept things when they change in small steps but a big change will not be accepted. It looks like Sony first lies and by playing psychology games, it tries to convert those lies into (false) "beliefs". I say beliefs because beliefs are not always true.

Another point is: In the beginning how Sony said that their PS3 will be so much powerful than the other systems. It sounded as if other systems will look like crap. Again with "small steps" that
lie is being converted into belief.

Conclusion is that Sony builds lot of false hype. That succeeds because of their psychological methods and people become victim of the false hype.



Anyway coming back to the topic: I think that if I have to spend $500 or $400 then the console I buy should be worth the money. I don't want an expensive console, sitting idle in my home and myself waiting for 1 year so that some good games like MGS4 arrive, getting frustrated even when I paid so much money. Next thing would be paying more money, like $200-$300, out of frustration, $50 per game, on some average games.

I am thinking to buy XBOX360 straight away. and also PS2. Even if I don't like Sony because of what I said before, PS2 looks irresistible.

With XBOX360 & PS2, I will have a huge library of games with 360 having lot of games with best graphics. Nothing is there on PS3, at present, that can even come closer. That will remain for at least 1 year or may be for more time.
Moreover it is possible to buy cheaper second hand games for XBOX360 & PS2 as they have been out in the market for sometime.

Otherwise please correct me.
