I dont think Sony has to beat anyone, M$ has to beat Sony. Just remember they have been doing this a lot longer than M$. And as of now M$ barely has 1 / 10th the install base of the Ps2.

Sony still is outselling Microsoft fyi. You have to count ALL of Sony's products not just one.

Ps3 was released 3 months ago after 2 years of bad hype and a $600 price tag. I think they are doing pretty well considering.

And the Wii? Please its 250 bucks, I wonder why its selling more?

What about Blu Ray? Isnt that doing quite well also? What about Sony TV's? What about Sony digi cameras?

What about the fact that Sony's stock is worth DOUBLE of what Microsofts is?

Stop acting like Sony is doing horrible, they are not.

And what do you get out of Microsoft winning? You guys are getting nickel and dimed to death and are enjoying it. Then again 360 is mostly kids who probably had their parents buy them their year subscription.

I LOVE MY PS3!

I'm not saying that Sony is doing horrible, I simply stated that their launch was horrible.

I could care less about Sony's other endeavors - what I care about are games and gaming systems.

I don't think that one extra generation of a console constitutes a remark that Sony has been in the console game a lot longer than Microsoft.

Phil said that the PS3 launch was "phenomenal by any measure", and that is obviously false when measured against the X-Box 360 and the Wii release. That is simply all that I stated, though I did get rather verbose, yes.

I own no X-Box 360 nor X-Box, but I do have a PS2, PSX, Wii and NES, so I have no loyalty to Microsoft on any level.

You're bringing up questions that irrelevant to the topic. I can understand that, 'cause as a Sony loyalist you're tired of hearing all of the negative bullcrap and rumors and whatnot, I know, but there was not a single thing that you said in reply to me which was on topic with what I had said.

"And as of now M$ barely has 1 / 10th the install base of the Ps2."
If you're going to compare the PS2 to anything, it should be the Xbox, which it outsold 4 to 1 rather than 10 to 1.

"What about the fact that Sony's stock is worth DOUBLE of what Microsofts is?"
You don't know anything about the stock market do you? Have you ever heard of a stock split? How many shares of MS stock are out there vs. Sony? I'd venture a guess of more than double.

per the same time frame, not overall. do you honestly think he is stupid enough to compare 3 months to 6 years?

While I'm certainly not going to validate my intelligence to someone on the Internet, I'd like to point out that when I made the statement, "One would naturally expect a sequel console to sell better than your previous consoles", I was referring to the fact that in this interview Phil said that the PS3 launch is doing better than the launches of the PS2 or the PS1. Now, if you had taken the time to put that quote of mine in context with what I had said just before it, "...you are juxtaposing the PS3 vs. the PS2 and PS1", you should have realized this, and not jumped to the absurd conclusion that I was belittling Sony for not selling as many PS3s in 3 months as they did PS2s in 6 years or that I am somehow able to tell the outcome of the PS3's sales in an equal amount of time.

So, weekapaugh, how does your foot taste?

Oh, and Grown, thanks for the backup there.

While I'm in doubt of the sincerity of your remark, you were right in that I'm not going to be accused of being in MENSA any time soon.

But in the future, if you're going to jokingly call someone's intelligence into play, make sure you either do it with someone whom you know, and/or express some sort of friendliness about what you're going to say.

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

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.
