Your argument says that the ps3 selling the same as the 360 is not a success because Sony's brand was so popular that it should blow away everything. What you fail to acknowlege is that the ps3 launched at 200-300 dollars more than the ps2 and ps1 launched at AND it was light on games, AND it had strong competition from the 360 where the ps2 had little competition and the 360 had no next gen competition. For the ps3 to sell the same as the 360 with a higher price point, less games, stronger c...
this has been brought up a ton latley, What people seem to be missing is that you vote on a product (product of interest here is wii, ps3, 360) and if that product wins, they randomly pick 1000 of the people who voted and give them an offer to buy it. Its not as if you are likly to be able to buy one at this price so I dont know why its getting so much attention.
"It's fair to say that Xbox Live is clearly head and shoulders above anything anyone else has tried to do. We don't have competition,"
Isnt it this same attitude that people say Sony displayed which is what caused them to be the underdog right now? No matter how successful you are at something, something bigger and better can allways come along.
@4.4 Its obviously nothing to do with motion controls considering there is no shortages on wii controllers. Go to any walmart and you will have no trouble getting one.
I dont know why people are making such a big deal about the Amazon.com thing. Ive been seeing it everywhere. You guys realise that whichever is picked, they will randomly select 1000 people who voted and thats who gets to buy at that price. Its not exactly a 'sure thing'
@4.1 Look at hot fad products from the past.
Lets take 'Tickle me Elmo'. It was the hotest thing around and everyone HAD to have one. It took about 8 months before you could find one on a store shelf (even after christmas). Guess what happend when it wasnt hard to find anymore? People stopped wanting them. An allready popular item being 'impossible' to find makes people want it that much more. Whatever the actual reason for the wii 'shortage' is, Nintendo is benefiting from it because...
Just because you saw a commercial with some old people playing the Wii doesnt make it so. Like i said, I have a wii, I know 2 other people (my age) who also have them. None of us has seen 'old people' playing them, or show any interest in them. Including family.
Since when does Innovation = rehashing your last console (gamecube) with some slight tweaks, and adding a controler similar to something you came out with 15? years ago (powerglove). The talk about how old people are buying wii's is bogus also, the same people that buy 360's and ps3's are buying wii's. If you want to say 'but old people DO buy wii's ive seen them' guess what, the ocasional old person is buying any product including ps3 and 360's. I have a wii, its boring and collects dust. An...
is there a reason I'm missing why you replase S's with $?
again, this shows the whole 'attachment rate' and 'ps3 owners dont buy blu-ray/dont know it plays blu-ray' bs arguments means nothing.
funny how someone disagreed with all the mistake comments. some people on this site are so lame
EA's problem is definitly their own, not Sony's. Other devs have put out 1 or 2 games and gotten them right on the ps3, yet EA has put out countless games on the ps3 with performance issues. EA is one of the biggest devs around, if smaller devs like Infinity Ward can put some people to a ground up build for the ps3 and 360 seperatly and be hugely successful, there is no reason a company with the resources EA has cant do the same.

list is about the same as the ps3 patch. Wonder when they will put the updates out.
EDIT: Dont know whats up with this site, the edit and reply never works (just refreshes the page) and now its making me post 4 times...
Considering every PS3 box has blu-ray written severla times on the box, all the paperwork in the box also talks about blu-ray. I dont understand how someone could own a 400-600 dollar piece of electronics and not know what it does. On top of that, people keep saying that ps3 owners do not use the ps3 for blu-ray. It is the least expensive blu-ray player, I would venture a guess that many people who are ONLY interested in blu-ray and not games would be buying a ps3.
Porche unleashed was the best NFS imo. I'm glad they seem to be going back to the real racing style rather than the 'EXtr3m3 m@rk3ting' bs style they were using for a while. But it does seem this isnt quite up to snuff yet, hope they stick with it though.
The setting that sorts by last played is nice.
Not sure about the sales, but this is the best game of its genre ive played in years upon years. It has it all imo. Graphics, Gameplay, story, replay value. I couldnt help thinking while playing it that this is todays version of super mario bros of the NES days. Just a fantastic and fun game.
