games such as flower remind me why I am a gamer.
Looking at most of the fanboy bickering makes me despair as a gamer. I'll let the games do the talking and leave the non-sensical fighting to the people that seem to care way too much about nothing.
simple. If demand drops then the ps3 still has many opportunities of price cuts further on in its life when costs of production come down, it will be fine. The same goes for MS who have done brilliantly to gain marketshare this gen and especially for nintendo who have reclaimed their crown as the king of gaming. All 3 are doing well, if you don't like a console then fine but the amount of trolls on here who spell doom and gloom for a console are just wasting their lives as no console is in a ...
Outselling the wii in software? Not a chance.
The 360 is possible in certain markets - Japan! and some Euro countries but WW I highly doubt it.
Thats not to say the ps3 doesn't move software, it does very well but when you exaggerate claims like this it just makes you look sad that you feel the need you have to, as if you are embarrassed or something. There is no reason to as all 3 are selling well this gen and all 3 will last a while yet.
it is ridiculous how this continually happens. Nintendo, Sony and MS all have products that are far too expensive (although MS redeemed themselves for a mere few months with the original european price cut). Its ridiculous that all 3 take advantage of us in this way.
how you have 9 bubbles is beyond me. Only on this site....
excellent work to get those numbers. Your only mistake is the psp figure which I believe sony recently confirmed at 49.6 million shipped until the end of 08. Bubbles.
Thank you for understanding my point.
Americans spell it with a 'z'. How nice of you to borrow our language then complain when we don't conform to your spellings.
Jesus christ its called a recession. MS and SOny have both released workers.
To show you the extent of the problem I will show the cutbacks that have been made in the car industry in Britain:
Aston Martin: Extended Christmas shutdown and 600 redundancies. Temporary three-day week began in January
Bentley: Worked a three-day week in October and longer Christmas break. Closing Crewe plant for seven weeks from the beginning of March

because its a stupid accusation. They don't need to release a statement to some forum members when the whole business world is completely in tune with whats going on.
I could accuse nintendo of killing cows to manufacture the wii. Should I presume i'm correct until nintendo release a statement denying it? This is exactly what has happened here.
apple and sony have got their own dedicated stores. Does this mean they are in trouble? Hell no. Its called selling and advertising your company and products. The economy is the real trouble for industries and this will affect everyone the extent of which won't be known until things pick up again.
that are repaired are not included in shipment figures. The only way faulty consoles will aid sales is if someone rebuys a console from a shop. This has inflated every consoles sales in history but it will inflate MS's more because the 360 is more faulty.
as the argument is very weak.
MS get bashed all the time needlessly.
The ps3 gets bashed alot needlessly too.
Its just the way things are. Its pathetic.
oh dear how sad.
My first real purchase will be lost and the damned followed by Killzone 2. I feel sorry for you..
graphics are of second importance to gameplay by far. If KZ2 plays like crap which I am sure it won't (I haven't played the demo and no one has played the full game) then the awesome graphics will be meaningless. Graphics are merely the icing on the cake to a great game.
To me a game can be great with fantastic gameplay and rubbish graphics but not the other way round. Playing games is supposed to be fun and I refuse to be taking in by whatever the media or fanboys are telling ...
for motion plus I'm hoping for a whole new style of gameplay :)
'Every fan of the Wii is constantly talking about the GREAT 3rd party games that are COMING'
Haha i'm sorry but that made me laugh. That is not a wii trait but more of a playstation trait this gen. I completely agree with you when you say we have no idea if these games will be great but the same could be said for games such as heavy rain. I feel I don't even need to bring examples such as lair and haze into the argument either...
people bashing one set of estimations with another set of estimations as proof smacks of ignorance/stupidity to me.
I bet he is in the same group of people that don't understand why the wii sells so much and believes it will soon fail. I got a 360 with perfect dark. It was truly awful. Should I now believe the console is terrible? No because I actually had the imagination to try other games!! Although thats a non biased concept I doubt the author can comprehend.
