I don't think Wii needs a price drop because Wii and X360 are not in the same category (casual and hardcore). But, if Nintendo drops Wii's price to, say, 179$ and/or announce some sort of WiiSports 2 (for example), then it could easily take the spotlight from both M$ and Sony.
I recommend YOU to think real hard and to actually read more carefully other peoples posts before you post.
Tell me, where sak500 said in his post that LAIR is possible/impossible on any other console? And where did I said that?
Also, where sak500 (or me) said that game sucks?
I (and sak500) said the exact damn think PS3 fans heve kept sayin' over and over again. We (me and sak500) did not use " " , so you can't even tell if we're sarcast...
Boobs, Brawn and Barbarians.
WOW, a Triple-B (BBB) title! :)
Here we go again!
Nix, why the hell you just called sak500 an "xbot"? What exactly is your problem? You've just insulted someone because he said exactly the same thing that you, and other PS3 fans, have kept mumbling and repeating over the last couple of months.
"Not possible on 360, utilizing Cell, AAA title" over and over again!
-double post- sorry!
People keep saying PS3 is "the best console", but I ask you to define "the best". You can't just say "Well, PS3 is the most powerful, so it's the best". Hardware specs doesn't mean anything (just ask SEGA).
What console is "the best" is ultimately decided by consumers, and so far conusmers said that Wii is the best.
If PS3 fans are going to look back at history, and say "Sony won last to generations, so it will win th...
Listen, DUDE, I'm not biased toward any console - I'm a PC gamer, and I don't own either Xbox 360 or PS3, because I have better things to do in my life than to mindlessly play games and argue about them with people like you. I'm just passing my opinion here, and I don't really give a rat's a$$ about who will "win this generation". I'm playing games, not consoles, and I could care less if PS3 beats Wii/360 or not. In other words, as long as I'm enjoying games, I don't care on which p...
@Jeremy Gerard:
I agree with you on that, but I still think we can for sure tell is PS3 permanently 3rd, after new MGS/FF hit the market. After that, if nothing radically changes, developers would have to be crazy to make games exclusive for PS3. One thing that PS3 fans keep ignoring is that is all about money, not friendship and tradition, meaning - if even MGS4 cannot make money on PS3, it WILL be ported to other platforms.
IMO, PS3 will sell better after a price drop, but I don't believe it'll "fly of the shelves" like many fanboys are hoping. They need killer games + price drop. Some games are coming, but most are delayed till march 2008. Sony need to take into consideration that Micro$oft will react on this, probably with dropping the price of the X360 by 50 or more dollars/euros. I think it's safe to say that 2008. will be a "make or brake" year for Sony and it's PS3. If sales don't impro...
...that my 360 doesn't RROD again,
but it does, and nevertheless still outsells PS3 3-1.
@agent864:
X360 fans will always yell "NO GAMES!", just like PS3 fans will always repeat "Well, our PS3 is future proof, and it's only out for /insert the number of months or years here/". This time next year it'll probably be "PS3 is only 2 years old, and 360 is 3,5 years old"... PS3 will always be younger than Xbox 360, and x60 will have more games than PS3 (for at least for 2-3 more years)...
Yeah, Sony and it's fans don't need EA, don't need UbiSoft, don't need SEGA, don't need CAPCOM... Who, the hell, is left to "lead PS3 to the top"??????????
@mighty_douche:
Actually, it is quite possible to have some properties of more advanced GPU, and don't have others. For example, GPU in the first XBOX was somewhere between GeForce 3 and GeForce 4 in terms of processing power and that is why it was called NV2A (not just NV20 like GF3, or NV25 like GF4). It had some capabilities of GeForce 4 GPU, but not all, and was more powerful than GeForce 3...
Uwe Boll's movies are THE WORST movies I've seen in the last 2 years! Someone need to stop him from making yet another bad movie based on a good video game ("Alone In The Dark" was the worst in my opinion)...
Well said, indeed! Here, have a bubble! ;)
Just when I thought I saw/heard everything, something like this comes up. I agree with most of the people - this guy deserves 5 death sentences.
The real question is: Would any PS3 fan post this story here if that kid wanted an XBOX 360...
No, you cannot just multiply MHz like "I have dual-core CPU, and each core is set to 2GHz, meaning I have a 4GHZ CPU". That's BS, like someone said...
I'm not confusing unified shader architecture with unified memory.
Anyway, I really don't see how unified memory is a bad thing. Developers can allocate memory however they want - to fit their needs in particular situation. There is no lag here.
PS3 has 256MB of system memory (RAM) and 256MB dedicated to GPU. You can't use GPU memory to store anything other than geometry and textures/shaders. On the other hand, PS3's RAM works at very high frequencies - 3.2 GHz... So, ...
I never said "hardcore" gamers don't play Wii or anything similar. I don't own any of the "next-gen" consoles. I'm a PC gamer (like I said multiple times in different posts). So, I'm not a "HC gamer", and the most appealing console this generation to me is - Wii, just because it offers variety and different experience.
