"@ Mini Mario yes I realise the Playstation 2 and 3 were advertised because of there abilitys but also Playstation 2 was alot cheaper than a stand alone DVD player back in the day of it's launch."
In Aus it was $800. Granted Dvd players were'nt cheap but hey the psOne launched here at $1000. So yes i do remember the prices and never bought them until they got to at least the $400 mark.
Sony got real lucky with the first console buying so ...
"Well why would people only buy a PS3 to play movies when stand alone Blu Ray Players can be bought for a fraction of the price. "
While you make decent point i have to ask -
Many people (not all people btw) bought the ps2 because it played DVD movies...and games.
See how i said ...and games.
Would alot of people still buy the ps3..if it just played games. It is advertised alot that it plays blu ray movies !!...an...
"Will a Ferrari ever outsell a minivan? Probably not,but I know which one I rather have.... "
Yeh, do you have one??? (ferrari) Are you ever going to have one>>> ?
Yeh sony really know which demograhpic to sell too.
I mean in their defence they did tell us early on to get a second job.
"Whats gonna sell more? a honda or a benz?"
So your saying that its a good thing that sony didnt want to sell to the average pay packet earner?....Good for them ???
I also noticed you have a crash bandicoot avatar. Do you realize the best games for that franchise were on the lower spec "honda" psOne.
Just because its more expensive doesnt mean its going to create better games no matter how shiny the wheels are. See the s...
"PS3 is the only one churning out great exclusives. "
The only company releasing great exclusives >? My friend you are seriously delusional.
For both and 360 and wii have excellent exclusives. This is why i hate this site sometimes and u get 15 agrees>>? lol what a joke
"HD and online are important aspects of this console generation"
Sad to be you then lol
Geez, never thought i would see the day when games were graded on their resolution lol. Crazy
I almost miss the 4:3 SD that i never knew about (or cared about) when playing my snes when i was 10. I guess i was more interested in what i was playing and not what resolution the TV and console had.
Basically ^ - give credit where credit is due. And on this site credit is due, and not to sony.
"There is a video from years ago, when the ps2s eye toy was out, showing one if the eye toy developers showing off move motion controls with a ball on a stick. "
Yeh there was also a thing called a power glove that flopped, yet here we are with a wii remote.
The point is nintendo took a huge risk doing wht they did. Nobody believed they could do it especially after the gamecube. Up until move motion was just a "gimmick".
...
"Metroid Prime Trilogy is absolutely one of the best exclusive packages this gen"
Yeh i agree. Kinda reminds me of the orange box too.
Yeh the most top rated game this year at 6 lol
"How did Nintendo do what no one else would when Sony was working on something similar at the same time? "
Sorry but up until Move was announced nobody was even interested in motion. It was a "gimmick" to those who had no idea what they were missing. O but now motion controls are ok. And what boggles the mind is how hypocritical people can be on this site, it truly is ludicris.
Only when it blew sony and microsoft out of the water did s...
"RE4 with Move PLEASE!!!?!?!?!"
How can Move make resident 4 better? The wii remote standard was awesome. Basically Just using the IR pointer and a little shake to reload (or button if u dont like the shake). Extremely accurate and very fulfilling, ive finished 3 times on the gamecube and the wii. Go thru the game with unlimted rocket launchers is a treat.
Resident evil for was made for a controller so there really isnt any gestures needed. Just...
But hyping up is what this site does best. lol
"it is funny that 3DS has better graphics (at least better shaders) than Wii. BTW N has nothing but remakes, remakes and remakes."
Yeh because sony or microsoft never have rehashed successful franchises on there machines... lol ! No matter how many times they make game based on the same wars.
And what about kid icarus? When was the last time that was made on a console...the NES? Im assuming u meant "rehashing franchises" and not "re...
"Dood your kinda nitpicking at it, "
Not really because all my original comment said basically was that its time to move on. Like i said, anything will still sell if its still there, hell why not re release the NES in that case. Mega man 9 was pretty good, bring em all back and make new content.
All im saying is there are no good new games for it. Let it go out with some dignity its been ten years. Flogging a dead horse.
"b...
"You do know you can't play GB Advanced games on the newer DS models right"
Right but it took years to stop it. The XL series didnt support it. But the LITE's and Phat's did. How long did it take sony to stop its B/C ??
"Ps2's is because there is a huge catalog of games to play on them and they are still releasing games for it, not everyone wants to drop over $200 on a game console and don't mind not having HD graphics.&...
"@minimario you know some of the lower income countries, ps2 are new to the market and alot cheaper than the ps3.
So yeah how brilliant, kill off a source of profit, do i really have to put a sarcasm tag to show how stupid an idea this is? "
So why not sell them psOne's, wouldnt that be even cheaper in that way of thinking? Keep producing psOnes the way brazil still produced master systems for years and years. Well into the "3D" era. ...
"they are still supporting ps2 after all (not much but they do). "
More like flogging a dead horse. You call that support? Let the horse die with dignity.
"as its specially developed GTA chinatown war failed big time on the DS , they're not trying it again anytime soon . "
I thought the Chinatown wars eventually got released on the PSP anyway>? How did it sell on that platform.
The list is around the wrong way. Mario before sonic> >? And where the hell is chrono trigger
Shouldve been a top ten
