The PS3 has a whole lot of potential however it's not going to change the fact EA sucks.
-They ruin achievement scores on the XBL
-They try to milk gamers for every bit of cash possible with market place
-They fought to have there own XBL servers for games and they haven’t been able to do that right.
-None of there games have any innovation
How much does the Japanese market matter?
1. Be smart you’re spending a lot of money buy the extended warranty that Best Buy or Circuit City offers it’s only like 30 bucks more for 2years. It’s like a car you always get the extended warranty despite the manufacture warranty.
Sony knows digital downloads will cut into optical disc sells, so they though they would push BLU-RAY as the last format. That wanted to recover development cost and they know being the last optical format before the digital movie download age starts it would insure there company is paid from royalties allowing them to sustain there company for the future. Looking at PS2 sells, and some static saying that gamers originally bought the PS2 as a cheep DVD player. They thought they could push BLU...
There are many reasons why Betamax didn’t make it. Sony basically was arrogant and thought it could dictate an industry standard with a proprietary format and its competitor allowed multiple, competing licensed manufactures. Sony not willing to work with RCA’s requirements, and I’m sure the fact that they wanted to control consumers ability to copy movies, had a big part with why consumers didn’t like it in America. It was such a big deal back then it made The Supreme Court: Sony Corp v. Univ...
Before you call us morons maybe spelling BLU-RAY right might be a start. Being as you are spelling it wrong one can only guess, you support it because it’s Sony and they say it has a larger capacity then HD-DVD. Most of us that are against BLU-RAY being a format are because of some of the policy Sony is pushing with it. BLU-RAY is so expensive to produce that it will cost consumers a lot of money, and the fact is 200GB isn’t such a massive new jump in technology that it’s worth the extra add...
Should it be a big surprise they fail at almost every format they create? You would think after 10 years of development they would have ironed out all the wrinkles for BLU-RAY, crying out loud not to long ago they finally ironed out a mass production process to make 50gig BLU-RAY.
I read it's like 20% of the number of Xbox360's sold. However they are saying you can't find them because they have been selling out quickly. So the 20% could very well be a lot higher if there were more in stock.
The question should be how are you going to get your hands on a PS3 to get a BLU-RAY player. Wait I forgot Sony can't make enough. By the time they start making enough PS3's the Press will have killed any hope for recovery with the negitive PR.
If BLU-RAY fails that means Sony is stuck making BLU-RAY DISC for the PS3, could be very costly. Now I see why they are hoping for the PS4.
How when the Nvida graphic card in the PS3 is bulit off of old technology. Look at all the specs the ATI graphic card in the Xbox360 was built simular to the new graphic cards comming out. Not only that it has more shaders... I seriously would like to know what your talking about.
Agreed. Gamers should select the system for the games not the hype. As for the PS3 being the system with the better system out of the box I’m not sure, because you still have to get a major update before for the gaming starts, buy and HDMI cable to see BLU-RAY. Using it as a media hub, is marginal at best, iPod support is laughable. You can’t play music while playing a game. If you want Linux you still have to install it so that’s not really an out of the box feature. Then again I really can’...
Fact: Your right PS3 is harder to develop for, and only for one reason. Sony hasn’t made tools to make it easier to develop for. The Xbox360 has a Multi-core, while the PS3 has the Cell which is the use of parallel processors. Both you have to program for multiple processors and programming style is similar. However Microsoft being the software company has come out with a whole lot of tools to make programming easier for there console. Sony on the other hand has fail short here and there deve...
Same for me.
Ok using your logic: That if 360 fans are wasting valuable gaming time to post bad comments about the PS3, that they must not be having fun with the 360. So the same could be said about the PS3 fanboys why are you here defending the PS3. Shouldn’t you be playing the PS3 if it’s so great, and by you not having time to come here in post would show that your gaming system is so great?
The worse part is Sony fanboys seem him as some type of oracle or savor sent from Sony to combat the non believers. However anyone with half a brain quickly realizes he talks a whole lot and sounds intelligent but with a little thought and research you quickly see its most assumed knowledge he goes off of. Let’s face it DJ does a better job at PR than Sony’s people.
See you wonder why no one ever takes you serious. This story had nothing to do with saying that the PS3 sucked. It was Sony saying in 5 years they will release a PS4. Which contradicted what they said before about the PS3 lasting for 11 years. Sony has told us it will be around 2011 when they will tap the true power and it will outperform the Xbox360. You have even said DJ that the PS3 just needs time. However Sony is saying in this article they aren’t going to give it time. So basically we a...
Do you really believe Sony will not release a new console in the next 5yrs and keep the PS3 around to compete with the next version of the XBOX and Wii. Well with everyone saying that it won’t be till around 2011 when we tap the power of the PS3, and we know by then there will be a new system. Is it really worth it to pay all this money for a future proof console you won’t get to experience the full potential out of?
With the PS2, Sony didn’t receive competition till they were close to 10 million consoles sold. Once a console manufacture hits 10 million consoles it’s said they have hit the stable casual gamers market. Developers like this because it’s at a point they can expect to make money back from developing a game for the console. When the original Xbox came out Microsoft had to struggle to get developers to develop for it because it was no where near the 10 million consoles sold and Sony had hit the...
If EA is using 20% that is a diss to the PS3. Because none of there games really look NextGen EA does a disservice to any platform they program on. If the team from RFOM said they only used 20% we would take it as a good thing. However everyone knows how sloppy of developers EA has, and very bad business practices. As for the PS3 no one doubt the potential of the system. The only thing everyone has been arguing is that if its going to take 2 or more years to tap the potential and the 360 is l...
