although not as many, it's still not running as competition, but it is a source of income.
Fair enough, I had a feeling but couldn't provide proof, well then sony has no excuse not to start pushing it as the cheapest console on the market.

I really like Sony's aggressive marketing approach, it really works out for them.

If you haven't realized this yet Sony, Nintendo is kicking your bloody ass because they brought in a buttload of non-gamers into the fold. Nintendo is also working on adding a lot more complexity to future Wii games (and possibly their next console).
next console is 2011 the HD Wii, and yes thats why they are kicking ass.

This just strikes me odd that a company this big is resorting to a childhood mentality of "If I can't see it, it can't hurt me". But then again, I'm not a business major so I might just be missing some huge point there
the point is this 'crack is good, lets have more of that then change anything'

im a Pigeon with a Grenade?

and the rest of the board agrees
Who are you and why do I agree with you again?

Obviously it varies from game to game, but in most cases, your PS4 callapses in on itself creating a black hole that sucks in entire universe, then explouds creating a second big bang so that all of creation starts again until someone once again creates the PS4 and the whole cycle begins once more.

Its also a quick save button.

In other news the PS4 will contain the Megacell Processor?. Sony intentionally made the processor nearly impossible to program for. Getting a game to run properly would take millions of man hours. Sony describes the development process for the next generation of games:

You're more likely to solve String Theory then programming a functional game for our revolutionary entertainment device. Remember; Riiiiidge Raceeeeer!
Gabe Newell responded to Sony's new announcement with this:

I was feverishly devouring cheeseburgers when I read the announcement for the Playstation 4. I would much prefer teabagging a blender then develop a game on such a platform.

Why did you have to bring in the Ridge Racer it's like 3 years old let it die.
Mmm, yeah maybe the giant crab would have been a better choice.

My N64, has finally died, after ten years. I wouldn't pay $50 a year, for ten years, for XBL. I have to side with the PS3. If I hadn't already quit console gaming, I'd definitely get one. $100 for Wi-fi is ridiculous. You pay for the PS3 now, but you'll never lose out for not having that feature. PS3 also has wireless controllers as standard, something I MUCH prefer over wired.
Final point is SO flawed... Every one of the current gen consoles have wireless controllers... Also well i loved the N64, and think it was an amazinf console with great games, IT OLD! it shouldnt be included in an arguement about online gaming because it had none. Nada, Ziltch, also even right now if u buy a wireless adaptor for my new 360, (was a gift, i aint a fanboy) it will Still be cheaper overall then the ps3 and i got three games with the 360
No, my final point was completely correct. PS3 is wireless as standard. 360's standard is wired and the Wiimote may be wireless but last time I checked the console gamepad thingy wasn't. Also the Wiimote has hideous detection issues.

Their advertisement team should have put more thought into this. "We offer more stuff for a higher price" does not counter "It's cheap and simple with just as much fun." People look for a bargain, not the top-of-the-line expense when buying things, and to them video games are all one big blur of sameness. Of course they'll go for the cheapest thing. Sony shot itself in the foot with that blue-ray player, and now they're stuck with it and the expense of putting it in every system.

You are certainly wrong in one particular; all SKUs of the Xbox 360 now ship with wireless controllers. The wired controller is now only available as an accessory for puchase separately. (I picked one up as my "spare" controller, so that I didn't have to worry about flat batteries when busting it out from storage.)

The whole argument Sony has made is a last-ditch effort to try to keep up with the Wii and 360. Also on that note, the individuals (no names) that I have seen defending and even promoting the PS3 here confuse me. The PS3 is a fine machine, good graphics, and the most horse power out there - in theory. Try using it, and developers have been quoted saying that it's hard to do. They find the 360 easier to work with, partially that Microsoft will throw cash at them to fund the projects, i.e. buying out of Bungie and Halo bad when.

The Wii is stable and perfect in every way FOR WHAT IT AIMS TO BE. Family oriented and fun for children, spot on!

The 360 is a well-rounded console. Add-ons provide a scalable pricing model, while getting them all may be more expensive than competition, the base price is cheaper and is a good idea IMO. If you can't afford the PS3, the 360 is there because it cuts corners. All in all, it's interfacing to windows live, my Zune, social networking, and everything else they've added has made it my favorite choice.

PS3 has nothing wrong with it. To the contrary, it has Blue-Ray and the potential for more content and better graphics. The problem lies in that they had no release titles anyone thought justified the price tags besides Sony fan boys, hence shooting themselves in BOTH feet and expecting to be able to crawl fast enough to keep up with the competition. The bit off more than they could chew early on, and now pay for it as the other two were able to burn more money on prospects to destroy the PS3. If Sony had more exclusive titles I care about, I'd have one. Little Big Planet, MGS4, and maybe Resistance 1+2 don't justify the purchase for me.

That's my opinion, but the debate rages on of course.

No... The 360 has a wireless controller. I know people with 360 originals through to elites, i know someone with EVERY kind of Xbox 360 package on the market, and they all got a free wireless controller

They should just lower the price and give in, plus the Wii is only purchased as "family fun"
the 360 is markated for older audiences with loads of fun games, I have all the consols but the PS3 is my least favarite for it being marketed for techno freaks who only care about using cutting edge soft ware rather that having fucking fun. I'm not an Xbox fanboy but if sony keeps it up I might end up as one....

I have to say, subtract the $100 for Wi-Fi connectivity (because that's what ethernet is for, it's faster and more reliable anyway) and it looks a lot better for the 360 all around - plus, if you add the cost for a $1500 tv that can actually make full use of the Blu-Ray and HDMI output, it's frankly exorbitant. I'll stick with my regular dvds (cheaper than Blu-Ray) and my (cheaper) 360 with my (free) tv.

However, I do have to admit that the PS3 has some sweet games (as does the xbox). What would be nice is if the price for the PS3 would drop; then I could afford both! hooray! Everyone wins!
