lol okay so the ps2 is eating up ps3 sales we all know that but that really isn't hurting sony as much as it should, i mean that were to be the case the ps2 would have been removed from shelves its that simple my friend. after all the ps2 like the ps3 is sony's property so its cool to them i suppose.
now what really hurts them however is MS buying all these exclusives and eating their market share, and nintendo assisting with the wii, that hurts them, not...
look just cuz the psp isn't outselling the DS worldwide doesn't mean isn't doing good, anytime a product sells at a healthy rate in which i generates money for a company it doesn't matter whether its first or last as long as the profits come in its all good.
besides the psp has been outselling everything in japan for the last month and half due to one game called monster hunter. so its doing okay now the 360 on the other hand isn't even selling above 3300 units now that is bad my...

seriously that wont happen why? well you see the ps3 isn't exactly a beast when it comes down to the memory so... if sony is to say...upgrade the psn by adding features than that 8th SPE along with maybe one other would become unusable for the developers thats for sure, so the ps3 might end up being like a ps2 next to an xbox but probably cheaper and superior in other areas.
256 of ram doesn't exactly help the ps3 in anyway, so the cell is pretty...
i mean lets take a look at how things have been working at sony lately, insomniac helps gorilla games, and gorilla games helps naughty dog and it goes back and forth i think, if naughty dog who by the way shares almost all its entire tech with the rest of sony could very well say? work on trophies for say insomniacs resistance one and ratchet and clank TOD while insomniac keep working on resistance 2 is that simple.
GT5 prologue is getting trophy support yet this is just a demo n...
@Hellangelzx
actually what i read somewhere was that sony mention that the ps3 might be the last disc base system in their line up as they would than move on to the Digital era themselves.
however just recently i also heard that the ps4 was indeed in the works but not to expect it anytime soon, im assuming that yeah blu ray would still be in the cards for the ps4 platform why? well 50gb is now but tomorrow were probably going to be talking 200gb and add to the fact ...
home will end up being like a 3d marketplace, to me it already reminds of one of the sims games except you can communicate with others online,
of course im not here to brag or anything as i think home will be special to experience only when all the ideas and fundamentals are in place,
oh yeah and the crow of people which by the way will surpass the amount of people making the beta crash at times, can work out smoothly.
anyways while i like the home idea and concept on...
should include the following features.
1.Voice/Video mail
2. in-game cross chat_ imagine browsing the web on your ps3 while chatting with a buddy who by the way is playing a game? thats insane and its something that needs to be added.
3. 4/6 way voice/video chat sessions.
4.Sent Message to all feature/option-sent the same voice/video/text massage\mail to all friends.
5. video store of course.
these set of features here will further en...
GameSpy: We saw in the video that you pulled up messages in-game. Will gamers also be able to initiate voice chat with buddies as they play?
Eric Lempel, Director of Operations, PSN: No, they won't be able to yet. This is phase one of our project, and we'll be rolling out even bigger plans for the future.
GameSpy: Will in-game XMB be compatible with PS2 and PS1 games?
Lempel: Not yet. Gamers wanted it for PS3 first, so we want to ensure that we cover PS3...
i so......agreed with you my friend.
@ the article sony has always done things this way, to me its just smart business strategies thats all. MS saw sony having a huge impact with the ps2 via DVD when it 1st came out and didn't have many games to play when compared to the dreamcast at launch.
so... they too decided to get in the business and give a shot, so who's approach they take? out of sega nintendo and sony's? lol.
sony's of course so the original xb...
we ever going to need games bigger than say heavy rain or killzone 2 or even FF13.
if sony is dedicated to use up its memory than use it to add the necessary features kinda like the ones ive listed below.
1. voice/video mail.
2.cross chat (cant go on without this)imagine you on the browser searching for something, your buddy playing a game while both chat with one another via headset.
3. flash support and more speed for the browser.
4. search engine...
and although it seems like ps3 fanboys picking on 360 fanboys every time good news come down, it was the 360 crowd laughing and making fun of the ps3 crowd a few years back, in fact they are still here trying to turn any good thing into a bad thing. but....
i know what i wrote was extremely long yeah, but i was just pointing out some obvious facts no, i do not hate MS nor the 360 i own one it has a great service and a bash of good quality games, but just like the xbox was technic...
sony in my opinion is really trying and pushing themselves really hard to please its fan base and i like every bit of their efforts.
i mean things like
folding@home, home, FW2.40, web browser, video store, and now this? life? man what else do they have in mind. lol hey besides i just got word that the number of friends on the friends list has been updated to 100? well now all we need is some cross chat and flash support for our lovely browser. oh and...voice/video mail. whi...
basically what this seems to imply is that by the end of next year sony and MS will both have identical services, except one will be free. no im not dissing ms or xbox live here either, as xbox live helped pave the way for online gaming in the console arena. and kudos to them for that, but...
however if sony does continue to deliver on these promises like is currently trying so hard to do. than one could just simply say that the ps3 is the system of all systems come fall of next ...

yeah, that is so sweet. I was chatting with my friend on xbox live. He was playing Viking, and I was playing Lost Odyssey.
yeah that is a nice feature one that should be standard on all consoles, not just the ps3 and the 360 but the wii as well. i mean its simple and convenient and no one has to leave a game or do anything too much to hear one another.
so..if 2.40 doesn't have this feature than hopefully with enough complaints we could ge...
@f*ckthistupidwebsite
.....are you ok? lol
while these look real and all, i just wish sony would update these in the future you know make them a bit more personal, like which games you play most and what type of gamer a gamer is. favorite genre, ability to customize these with some themes... you know that would sweeten the deal.

HDMI is a technology, not an online service. Nobody 'stole' it from anyone.
"true... but as i recalled MS stated time and time it didn't need or see the need to adding one yet years later here we are. just like sony with rumble same thing, only the difference here is sony doesn't really care about rumble, rumble is only there because of demand and not will".
What I'm saying is that their PS3 Online 'Gamer Cards' are a blatant ...
well
this is certainly a good thing for sony, now can they keep this momentum and how could they? if they could?
well going forward i see a small drought in between the months of june and july. but if tekken 6 can come out sometime next month...than that would help a lot specially in japan where it sells extremely well, meanwhile sony should try and get wipeout HD out in europe in this same time frame, after all wipeout is an all time favorite in europe not to mention its w...
if and when after this update do arrives and if its missing some key features like some are assuming, than simply do what most people do and beg for the missing features that way your whining and begging can get the psn features that will eventually make it the top alternative to xbox live.
i mean thats how upscaling and BD live and a bunch of other features got on there, it is because all your cries that sony even bothers with these things in the first place.
so to ...
that was a good list an extensive at that, but lets all be serious here, knowing that the ps3 is only got 256 of ram i don't see all these features ever making the cut, i mean maybe a few but not all. that is of course at least not until the ps4 comes out and that is if its design with a much superior memory architecture.
oh say 4 gigs of ram and an additional 8 SPES to current 8 to make it 16 with one or two extra ones locked away, now iwonder how much would a system like the ps4 w...
