This is great I love reading “The TRUTH” from the REAL DEAL…..he’s the man…He ALWAYS says it like it is…hahahahaha

Give it up man,….everyday you come on this site, and everyday you make yourself look more and more like an AS5. Coming here telling people lies and posting real pictures and claiming that they’re real 360 graphics….hahahhaaha You’re P A T H E T I C ! ! !

No matter how much you like to hate on Sony, you know damn well you’ll be in line on launch day to buy one, and don’t you dare tell me otherwise, YOU LOSER!!…hahahaha

It's investors. And Sony was asked about it, they refused to comment.

Maybe Sony would be better off postponing until Feb/March. That way they'd have more consoles ready, and more games.

Wow Bill you are a complete moron. Any time anyone brings up something about Microsoft you bash it. I think you have some pent up rage that your crappy PS0 is gonna bomb. Don't be mad at Microsoft for giving you the choice to upgrade to Hd. You may say they ripped people off but I will glady pay less for a console for the features I want. How many people are actually going to go replace there entire DVD collection with Blu Ray. DVD's have only been in the main stream for about 6 years. I highly doubt most people will be fooled by Sony's last ditch effort to dig themselves out of there grave. P.S. Bill your a little a$$hole writing posts from your parents computer in the basement. So of course they will probably be buying your console in witch case your small opinion is pretty much meaningless.

Kryptonite to Super Man. Notice how DJ,Jin,Truth,Gametime, and a few others are suddenly "HUSH". Its so much more peaceful now on the sony side of this news site. The truth can have that affect. Thanks Microsoft for giving us next gen now. And continueing to lead the next gen market in sales, and innovation. Jump In. BTW, Next Gen Madden is Fantastic. Everyone should try it if you haven't already. Saints Row next Week. YES ....

What if Sony decided to go with the DVD9 instead of blu ray?

What if they decided to go with a 3 Power PC proccessors instead of the unstable,low yielding Cell?

And what if the ps3 costed 300 to 400 dollars?

Would they have launced on time with more ps3's to market than 3 million by May 2007?

Would the die hard sony fans and many others get it at a higher rate?

Would the ps3 exclusive games still be next gen?

Cell and Blu ray are the death of SOny's reign at being number one with consoles. They put too much into being innovative with brand new un tested tech at high costs and low yields. Not smart business sense. Even if they could manufacture 6 million like they wanted. With all that new unproven tech involved...its bound to have malfunctions at an alarming rate once people got them home. Its sad to see a company that once dominated dissipate to the laughing stock of the gaming world. lol...lol...lol

If indeed the ps3 only ships 3 million consoles by May of next year. And the 360 sells 13 million in that same time period. With a 10 million console lead and at least 24 million xbox owners bound to upgrade eventually to the 360. How long will it take Sony to catch up to the lead that MS has built? Keep in mind the manufacturing problems they are obviously having with the many intricate parts involved in making the ps3. The 360 launched in 2005. In 2007 its likely to have a 10 million console lead. 2 years into the life. With 3 years left in its life cycle...how long till sony catches up? By the time the xbox 720 launches? When the price drops to 199? Can anyone else see what I see? I see Sony making some big mistakes this time. Mistakes that will cut severely into Sony's Market share. Is it fanboyism or is it common sense? And only Sony is to blame. I don't have anything against Sony Fans. They are the ones that suffer ultimately in the end. I feel bad for sony fans. Most Sony fans have to wait till late 2007 to enjoy what MS fans have been enjoying for 2 years. Thats not fair and its bad business on Sony's part.

"With 3 years left in its life cycle"

That is a very interesting statement to make.

it's obvious where his allegiance lies.if a person claims he had 4 xboxs,6 360s and not once mentioned how many ps2s he has had,then there is bias on his part.most likely coming off of being a pc gamer.which microsoft's systems duplicate.then in the end of his bio has nothing good to say about the ps3."i'll buy it,but if it fails,whatever"is his thinking.but that's his right.i talked to my friend the other day.he started out with pc.then moved to xbox and talked about how good it was.and it was.but he didn't have a ps2.he always talked about halo and morrowind.games that were like halflife and everquest and ashron's call.he spoke daily about it.but i told him to just try devil may cry,gran turismo 3,etc.then the gamer came out and bought all the hot games on ps2 as well as xbox.we both continued finding rare dreamcast games that were still coming out in japan.but now that he has a 360,he's quoting everything bad that he has read about ps3 from sites like this.not once did he mentioned anything positive.all systems have POSITIVE and NEGATIVE about them.it's the games that count.also,a person is measured by the news he puts up.how many positive news articles has he put up besides negative?if they aren't even,then you know.so if your a sony gamer,take what he says as if it was a grain of dust.eventually it will blow away and not be thought about because there's always something new around the corner.if your just a gamer,then you know you'll be playing them all anyway.and what people say about consoles won't mean anything to you.game on.

Yeah consoles have a life cycle of 5 years. Sony is the only company that trys to milk the old gens for every penny they can. I don't knock them for that. But Tech changes rapidly. So in 5 years I want a new console with new specs. I don't want to be playing old tech in the future. But to each his own.

True. But I don't make the news up and I blame Sony for their Major Critical Mistakes this next Gen. I could vote the President of the United States in office. But through his years if he continually makes bad choices I have the right to be vocal about it. I loved the original playstation. ITs one of my all time favorites. But I didn't like the ps2 and the ps3 is looking bad thus far. But i won't say it will suck. I will wait, play it, and judge from there. Don't take my concerns with Sony as bashing. I'm just being honest.

what positive news have you posted about ps3?don't just leave it to someone else since you're one of the biggest news finders.try finding those.

I have commented positive on certain news for the ps3. It has been far and few but I have. I haven't posted any positive news but every day I search diligently for some. And when I do find something, its already pending by someone else. Its hard Shadow. There isn't much postitive news out there for the ps3. But as a whole, I disagree with blu ray being pushed in the console and I have my doubts about the Cells capabilities with games. I understand it has amazing floating point tech...but I have read too many articles about how that is only a small part of game code. and then I have read sony say themselves that its optimal for hd streaming which goes with what MS people are saying. The Cell is best suited for hd video streams and not game code. Ps2 was good at floating point as well but it didn't compare to the original xbox. I'm not saying it is going to suck. It will have great games at some point. Developers will learn and take advantage of the ps3. But it cost too much for most gamers, and blu ray isn't necisarry for next gen games. If high tech computers can do cutting edge games with dvd9 drives. Then next gen consoles can too. I hope that clears up my stance in this next gen console war. I could care less who sells more and which has better games. We won't truly know till all the systems are on the market, then we can compare graphics/gameplay/ect.....

btw ps3 is goin to have a 10 year life cycle this time around and 360 a 6 year life cycle cus it's been out already for 2 years.!!!

Then my POS3 will have to deal with an even greater Microsoft Technology....The Next XBOX... *shivers uncontrollably* Hopefully I am not employed with Sony at that point...

lol

Wow, what it must be like to be a big MS fanwhore. Looking for speculative stories, trying to convince people not to buy a PS3 because I lack the self-esteem. Also, to realize that I could stick to my own good system that I like, but instead I feel threatened by good competition (even though good competition is good for all consumers).

Wow, what it must be like in the paranoid world of fanwhores . . .

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
