The PS3 is going to take a hit because of it's price tag, unless Sony wises up and cuts the price.

There's a story from the Great Depresson, the owner of a small shop cheered when the Market crashed and the government elected to do nothing, saying that "they're getting what they deserve." One year late he was in a bread line.

What caused a recession to turn into the Great Depression was people being way too egar to punish wall street for it's greed instead of helping to set things right, the price they paid for that desire for revenge was joining the formerly wealthy on the street.

Sony is going to need more then God of War 3 to make it big, add a price cut for the PS3 onto that and you maybe right.

Every company makes mistakes, and MS probably has learned it's lesson. While I feel the RRoD was blown out of preportion, I usually wait until the hype has died down a little before buying the next one.

I want to make this clear that I love Sonic the Hedgehog, but I've been woundering why the series seems to have taken a nose dive in recent decades. Here's my top 5 reasons, keep in mind these are just my opinons, so feel free to add your own.

1. There are no Sega Consoles this generation: The 7th Generation marks the first time there has not been a Sega console, and with the loss of Sega Hardware, Sonic has lost a lot of his nostalgia feel. Sure good sonic games are possible on the Wii, PS3 and 360, but they just don't have the same feeling that a Sonic game played on a Sega Console has.

2. Loss of Speed: Sonic is suppose to be fast, but in many new games like Sonic 06 and Secret Rings it takes forever to build Sonic up to full speed.

3. Bad Voice Acting: Many of the voice actors they have chosen for the newer Sonic games don't really fit with the characters they are cast to portray.

4. Failure of the First Sonic 3D game and the Sega Saturn: The fact that Sonic 3D Blast is usually seen as a horrible Sonic game, has given the series a bad reputation as more Sonic Games are transfered to 3D. This wasn't helped by the release of 3 sonic games that were little more then collections or puzzle games to the Sega Saturn, and the bad buisness decisions that killed it.

5. Repetive Storylines: Every Sonic Game has latley been the samething: Dr. Eggman/Robotnik trys to steal the Chaos Emeralds in a bid to take over the world. The shinning light of Sonic and the Secret of the Rings is that it offered a different story line and a new villian in the form of Erazer Djinn, and hopefully Rings' idea of new storylines carries over to the main series.
