People spend it on game/movie content. It's different. Also, you should take this as a sign that people like what the marketplace is offering.
Microsoft should limit their retail store chain when Halo 3 comes out later this year. It's not like microsoft will feel the dent. I know it's not the company's fault (so they say) but that will help them save money on paper since by having only PS3 they wouldnt have to convince people to buy the PS3 over the 360.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold 228k
Sony's PlayStation 3 sold 127k units
Sony may be winning the blu-ray vs hd-dvd war but hardly the console war. Don't blame availability becase sony said they shipped like 4 Million and they sure as hell didnt sell 4,000,000 in Japan.
I also would like to point out that eventhough the wii sold 335k the xbox 360 is dominating it terms of games sells.

And more 30000 x more powerful than my digital alarm clock.
500,000 x more powerful than my wrisk watch.

1,000,000,000,000 more powerful than my pensil.
Ok, people now that I have showed you how powerful the PS3 is by performing these scientific experiments you will not have to feel bad about spending $600 on the most powerful hardware ever made.
What will you d...
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it's too late for microsoft to only grab 20% of the market.
"A new report to be released soon by DFC Intelligence forecasts the best case market share scenario for each of the next-generation consoles. According to the report, the PlayStation 3 will have a 50% share at best while the Xbox 360 can look forward to 40% of the market and the Wii aspire at the 35% in the best scenario.
Although this report still have the PlaySta...
Sony fanboys will resist it. But then again they are not gamers.
Note: Having or Wanting a PS3 does not make you a fanboy.
What's there to sue about? Home concept existed for ever. I'm sure that microsoft or anybody can come up with something similar and there is nothing anybody can do. Why arent the SIms developers sueing Sony then?
Time will tell. we will know soon enough if we will see people selling their newborns to get their hands on a PS3.
Before I'm eaten alive note I said, "tend to suck major". Obviously there are some exceptions. I usually reserve judgment after release on move-based games.
If what you are trying to do is help cure cancer, why not donate the $600 to a Cancer Research Center instead of falling for that marketting bull that by buying a game console you will cure cancer?
Why dont you ask one of these cancer research center which method (of helping) is more efficient.
I agree... I am really looking foward to Final Fantasy Tatics. one of my favorites for the PS1.
as long as there is a wimote there will be accidents.
Not because Is nintendo's fault but it's logical.
There is a chance to have a car accident if you drive.
There is a chance of falling on your face if walk.
.. .. .. . . .. of braking your tv if you move it.
.. .. .. . . .. of braking your leg if you run.
.. .. .. . . .. of the wiimote flying of the air if you swig it.
By the way, microsoft did not make a mistake when it comes to not supporting blu-ray or adding an HD-DVD.
It will take at least 2 years before HD-DVD dies (if it does). Let's not forget that not every movies is released on blu-ray, there are some movies only release on HD-DVD and until every single movie is release on Blu-Ray it cannot be declare a winner. (Yes there are people that will buy movies on the format that has the movies they want not the one that has more), so $200 for a dr...
"OK back to Motorstorm" LOL Exactly, what else can you play?
OK back to [Insert XBox 360 game here]
It seems like the PS3 is going to do very well in Europe. I can't wait to see the European response once they see what the console has to offer. Sells would be greater if Sony would have Home ready. I can't wait to see the PS3 charts after the launch.
Yeah, Lord of the ring and Soduko for the PSP made me cry my @$$ like a 4 years old kid due to loading time and because I realize I wasted my money.
Why do Microsoft hater give Microsoft so much importance?
" DirectX was just an attempt by Microsoft to monopolize the graphics business?" "It seems like everything they do is always only for evil".
It gets anoying when people start crying about microsoft monopolizing the world and becoming the anti-christ.
Ever hear of OpenGL? Well, that's an option developers have to make games, and hundreds of other solutions. OpenGL works everywhere including linux...
You have to be more specific. I think you should say "will" deliver. because as far I am aware, nothing mentioned or shown at GDC can be used on the PS3 today.
Sony did a great job delivering ideas or plans that they have for the future. And it's possible that if they deliver on their promise, microsoft and nintendo go silent and don't bring something cooler then when they deliver the good it may be worth buying the console, but as of today did anything change? The PS3 is the same today as it was before the event. Sorry but I don't believe in video game investment. Pay now have fun later. For me is eating while cooking. I'm not spending $700 on a co...
I think this is the correct move on Sony's part. The only thing I don't like about the whole thing is the fact that Sony made a big deal and even made fun of Microsoft for doing Software emulation while they were already on the planning stage of doing the same. It shows how much credibility they have. I expect anything from them. They only critisize microsoft on the software emulation because they knew it was going sound like they had the advantage. They only needed that advantage at first. N...
