is a fantastic system which allows you to play video games and does not cost you your first born. Or in the alterntive it is the great satan attempting to lead you away from the forces of light which is the PS3 LOL
it may be a nice peice of Kit but all you are suggesting is that I should be an early adopter. There is no game that blows my mind. Seems to me that it makes more sense to wait until there are games that make me feel compelled to buy the system. Personally I have not seen anything yet. That is my personal view. Sony says the system is going to be around for 10 years so I will wait for them to build a library and I can not see the price go up again. There is no reason to run. But then ...
made the original x-box; it was this game that made ppl want to get the X-box. MS was late to the party and Sony had a hammer lock on content providers. Therefore at the begining MS needed to purchase studios to get content. Given MS sucess with the 360 in terms of installed base and the willingness of third parties to produce games for the 360 MS is not as dependent on having to produce there own content. By contrast this is the path Sony seems to be walking now.
It seems ...
the interviewer was also funny and wanted to praise the Wii and tried to push forward the stereotype of Halo gamers as being anti-social loser. It was obviously a very original piece of journalism.
It was a really pathetic interview by the Beeb done b/c they had to say something about this huge cultural event; the interviewer reminded me of their sports announcers giving American Football, Baseball and Ice Hockey scores you can see from their expressions and their tone that th...
but it is not only price which is holding Sony back it is a lack of games which is mostly a function of install base. Lowering price would help Sony increase sales but M$ and Nintendo are likely to follow suit.
Sony can not afford to compete with M$ or Nintendo on price.
Reality is that PS3 has big problems to overcome and they are caught up in vicious circle of not being able to sell consoles due to lack of games and not being able to get good games b/c they ca...
the noise Halo 3 is making right now is drowning out any other game coming into the market. Halo 3 is the beginning of M$ holiday season. Sony is going to have difficulty being heard this X-mas; and for the most part Sony is only offering promises right now. If MGS4 were launching right now or even this X-mas you might have a point; but the reality. 2008 may be a great year for Sony but that is the future and most people want instant gratification and the 360 is providing that at a more a...
Halo and the other X-mass releases give M$ the momentum they are looking for 2008 will take care of itself as the increased install base will only make the 360 more compelling as the place to be for third parties if they want to move substantial amounts of games and make a decent profit
that Halo 3 does not by itself decide the war. But it will be a subtantial boost to the install base b/c of the excitement it is creating then add the other games such as Mass effects and COD4 (and yes I know the game is multi)which are all on the 360 and you have compelling reasons to buy a console that is offering games today as oposed to future promisses of great games. The cumulative effect of all these games is an overwhelming X-mas for the 360. The Wii of course will also continue to...
the viability and profitability of the developing games for the PS3
this can only be bad news for Sony. PS3 needs games yesterday b/c the competition has such a head start in terms of install base. The delay of games being developed by Sega and Capcom is in no way positive. Indeed Sony may have to cross some palms with silver to move matters forward. When the original x-box came out there was a dearth of games after the intial excellence that was the original Halo. Sony is in the position the M$ was with the original X-box. So they have to spend money t...
its biggest worry when it left the factory was that it might fall in battle a victim of RROD. No one warned it about neurotic girlfriends.
no matter how hot a woman is somewhere there is a man who is tired of her. Though seriously this seems more like a publicity stunt to help her career.
I think that all the developed markets are important to M$. However the US has the largest economy in the world and Japan the second. Clearly M$ wanted to take the fight to Sony home territory. It was a tall order to expect to succeed in this market as the Japanese are resistant to buying non Japanese products b/c they are not Japanese. The Japanese believe fervently in the quality of their product and the poor quality of non-Japanese products (I base this on personal experience). The PS...
hype machine for halo 3 its all good for marketing, it is just viral marketing and cheap publicity
Sony's command; no price cut. Sony wants to concentrate on Games b/c that is most important. 2008 will be here soon enough!!! But it does leave rather sparse offerings over the all important X-mas period.
PS3 owners have my sympathy I remember when I got the original x-box and finished playing Halo and the question was what to play next!!! The sad answer was not much.
HDMI input requirements mean that many people with HDTV more than two years old can not have the HD content on their expensive HDTVs from either format HD player b/c their HDTV doen not have HDMI and the respective players will not output HD over the composite connection. This is also true of most upscaling DVD players as well. So for many early adopters of HDTV niether of the new formats makes any sense unless they are willing to purchase another expensive HDTV along with the expensive pl...
but you can not play it till next year!!! Halo style is different but it looks fantastic to. As far as I can see the video spoof says more about PS3 lack of games than it does about Halo3. It just reminds me that the most expensive console has no compelling reason for me to by it right now. But maybe in 2008
if the journalist has a problem with Halo which will reach a relatively small global audience; don't let him see something like The 300. Seriously Halo is a huge game; but it is nothing on Hollywood movies which reach a far greater audience. The reality is that all media pushes ideas values and messages; what is important is the critical faculty of the recipient.
ruling is to force M$ to open up and to allow for competition in the EU. M$ has been able to see this coming for some time as this has been going on for several years and they should have been prepared for the worst.
M$ knows that they have had a good ride with the OS but that their monopoly will not last forever. That is why they are getting into the Console market; that is why they are getting into the portable music player market. Back when Apple looked like it was going...
