Lame attempt at a joke, however it was more advanced then the PS2, yet lost to the PS2, makes you wonder no? What's more important? Hardware or Software? Oh yeah, nm, that argument was settled and buried years ago..

SONY = This Is Living

Micro$oft = This Is DYING!!! ;-D

Dunno. I bought 40gb ps3 cause I already have PS2 and I play on it when want to play PS2 games. Had PSX and PS2, the same thing. Didn't play psx games on ps2. So I understand what he says. This is current gen, not past.

Dude with 140 million PS2's out there, I think that there are very few people that play games that actually don't have a PS2.
I own a 60GB PS3. Once tried to play a PS2 game and that was it. I still have my PS2 so what's the point?
What Hirai says is for people that bought PS2 and don't have any plans or don't have the money to buy a next-gen console. For them Sony is there and still suports the PS2. Not anyone can afford or want to buy a new piece of hardware every 3-4 years. Imagine that you bought an Xbox during it's 3rd year of it's life cycle. Where was Microsoft for these people when they pulled the pug? They just stopped supporting it and that's it. The same goes for Gamecube. Up until now I haven't seen any MS or Nintendo representative saying that they would keep supporting their consoles for 10 years like Sony did. All I hear from MS is that it will have a longer life cycle than the original Xbox. As if it could be any shorter. And who says that if and when I decide to buy an Xbox 360, MS won't pull the plug in the next year? At least with Sony I don't have to worry about that...

and i could have played it on my ps2 if i needed to.

the 360 will be obsolete long before the ps3 stops being sold. and once ms moves on; that doesn't mean the current gen is over, it just means that ms didn't build a console to hold up over the long haul.
the ps2 has sold millions since xbox 1 has died. and ps3 will do same when 360 is forced out.

I've been saying that for what seems like forever. I even remember reading in the Official Xbox magazine over a year ago that the next Halo game was being developed for the next Xbox already. Microsoft needs a new system because the sales are going down, the system is faulty and the cheaper they make it the more it hurts the company because they have to offer a warranty on it. The most logical step is to stick to Windows release schedules and force people to upgrade to a new console next winter and within that next year they stop making 360s and say it's because of overwhelming demand for the new system.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
