Most of the things you mentioned; I'm already getting with my PC. If anything; the reasons why I think xbox live is worth the price tag are the very same things PS3 will not have. So, how can they possibly charge for it? A global single ID where I can easly find, see the status of my friends, invite them to a game I am playing, global gamer score... regarless of what game they are playing; why would I care that the PS3 works like a PC. The PC will rape the PS3 and the 360 hardware in 6 months...
Thats funny... and the same can't be said about the 360? hah! let show you how I can use your own quote.
"[XBox 360] was launched in North America on Nov 2005. There were shortages (as far as I remember), and the PS2 still had some big titles being released, like [Final Fantasy XII]. I know you don't want to say it, but the [360] did very well when it was first released." see what I am saying? That's the sad part about it. And the worst things about it is that unlike...
Hey, at least they are not liying about it. This is a valid concern. Sony did worst the other day when they lied about the 360 being more expensive than the PS3.
This is not right... There goes all my money... At least 3 x 360 games I want.
What context are you talking about? I copy and paste the numbers from the link you posted!
These are all US numbers. I was simply showing you how 1.5 Mil for any console is not impossible since even the original xbox got close and the PS2 even sold 3 Mil only in the US. "the PS2 is still outselling the 360; it's been outselling MS's console since march" and the 360 will outsell the PS3 this month and the next month. Does this mean the PS3 is dead?
yeah, you...
heck yeah! I'm buying all consoles. Let's just say I would like to own every single piece of electronic that can be used for entertainment.
I have IPOD(2), to motorola MP3, 2 Servers, 3 Laptop (1 Mac), all consoles (Exept the original xbox). Why wouldn't I get PS3; I can't wait to use the slideshows for pictures, and the video thumbnails. I bought the PSP(2), PSone, and PS2(2), how can I not buy the PS3? Now, if what you are asking me is: Would you drop Gears of War, XBox live, etc....
Also, "If you look at the sales by territory, not only did the PS2 sell significantly faster than the Xbox 360, the Xbox1 sold more units than the 360 as well." Did you try comparing the PS vs PS2 sales? The PS sold more consoles at first than the PS2 and later the PS2 passed the PSone sales by a lot.
It is normal for this to happen. Some people feel they are not ready to leg to the cur gen games.
Here is the bottom line. Putting fanboysim aside; here are the facts that really matter.
Obviously Sony does not think that supporting 1080P over component or VGA is worth it. The fact is that if you want 1080P on a Sony TV than you have to stick to HDMI. Fact: Other brands like Samsung support 1080P (True HD) over component and VGA and Sony's TV does not. Fact: If you want 1080P support over component, VGA and HDMI don't buy a Sony TV. If you are one of those that believe that h...
Funny. I remember I used to play Legend of Mir 3 for over 1 year. And eventhough there were lots of idiots I used to enjoy the wars and the arguments and killing people I didn't like(Revenge) and take the beloved weapons they would drop after their death. Once the most hated guild was banned and suddenly I had no purpose; no reason to level or no goal. After that people started leaving. Now the game is dead. I believe they should punish cheaters or try to solve the bugs and exploits. But some...
Here are the numbers for the PS2 (US) only:
Dec 2001 - 2,297,500
Dec 2002 - 3,170,000
Dec 2003 - 2,286,000
Dec 2004 - 1,168,500
Here are the numbers for the Original XBox US only:
Dec 2001 - 767,000
Dec 2002 - 1,144,500
Dec 2003 - 1,198,000
Dec 2004 - 1,152,000
Now lets consider these facts:
1) The PS2 was released way before the original xbox and had an advantage in terms of qt...
DJ the company that came up with these numbers is not microsoft. Do you expect Sony to be the one to make the numbers in order for you to at least consider the possibility that it can happen? I for myself know at least 4 close friends that are waiting for december to buy a 360. Some people are waiting for bonus or simply for someone to give to them. Why don't you look the stats from other years. December is the best month of the year for all consoles. Now this would be great for Sony but wit...
Wow, I didn't think so many people were interested on the 360, "750,000 million units in November"... hehe... obviously they mean 750,000.
I honesly never like people that never pay for the games since this encourage companies like EA to milk the ones that does. I Like what Sony will do with the PS3 to prevent people from copy games. With the exception of the PSP since it has no games and emulators game me a reason why to keep my PSP. Not everything I say is a complain. If you read what I wrote, "So, this is how Sony will stop people from using the PS3 for homebrew applications." What I wrong?
It would be nice if Sony Maintains the dimensions (size) of the game cases. When I put them next to eachother they look all screw up.
So, this is how Sony will stop people from using the PS3 for homebrew applications.
I agree with you about the ignorance of many. But unlike before you do not have to sit in the back of the bus. The secretary of state (US) is black and many people which happen to be minority have high spots within the gov. Now this may not seen as much but at least it makes it harder for those ignorant people to be openly rasist. There will always be people that don't like others. It is human nature. People fear the unknown. Maybe one of these days Aliens from another planet which may be gre...
Thanks to Sony's incompetence 360 gamers have to suffer. Developers have to wait until the PS3 have enough intall base in order to release the game. It is obvious that it is a bad a Idea of the publisher to release only the 360 version.
For $3.99? It can suck more than anything anyone ever suck before and it will still be a success. This is a great marketting Idea no matter how you put it.
I think Sony was too busy working on the media part of the PS3 (i.e. photo slide show, movie thumbnail and other non-game related features) to have time to work on any online service for (games). I think sony has done a great things in order to compete against the Media Center and to infiltrate itself in the living room as an Media Center device and market itself to non-gamers. Too bad this was done at the expense of gamers. I think the PS3 is looking more like a media center (browser, movie,...
than why did they take it down? Sony didn't need to take down, clarify, or change if is was naked truth.
