Anyways, I thought that was good for a laugh, I mean losing a console war is no shame, but losing the console war to the system you are trying to replace.. Wow.

The PS3 may be falling behind in America, but it's the best console in Europe, Australia, and the second best in Japan. Just because it's bad in America doesn't mean the whole thing is a blow out. I'm not saying that it's going to win overall, it's just that it's not as bad as ppl think.
I thought the 360 and PS3 were in a close race in europe.

When my buddy brought over his PS3 I was freakin excited...until I brought out Soul Reaver 2 and he told me his system had no backwards-compatability.

My response was a resounding "YA BLEW IT!!!" >.<
A lot of smack and stupidity has been spoke in this thread but you sir win the award for the stupidest comment so far.

Your mate brought over his PS3 and you were all excited about playing a last gen title on it..... really.... Seriously man just go back and think about what you said, even YOU have to be able to see just how idiotic that comment really was?

If you're gonna make a fanboy statement try coating it in a little less stupid next time.

I hope the PS3 gets bad enough to lose InFamous as an exclusive.

...Want...
most ps3 exclusives are exclusive to the ps3 because it's the only system that can run it. Note; most xbox exclusives are also available on the PC.

This is true. Infamous for the 360 is NOT going to happen. EVER. Neither is a PC port, but stranger things have happened (SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! IT'S PEEOOPPLLEE!...*nomnom*)

I actually hate myself for even posting on this topic, I really do.

Indigo, you are a f**king moron. I don't care if I'm suspended or put on probation for saying that, it's true. Your points make no sense and are completely one-sided. You fail to even consider the argument of the opposing party except when you tear it apart to reply with even more insults. You are a failure to the human race and to yourself. Get up off your computer chair and go outside you photophobic fanboy troll. Do not expect me to reply to your reply, I will not.

PS: Do you even know what a tesla coil is? It isn't a weapon. It is, and I quote, "a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil) Please research your examples before you try to use them to argue with people who actually have brains.

Goodbye.

Am I the only one who hates the Playstation controller? That was the reason I started my journey down "Never Buying a Playstation" alley. It feels like a square brick in your hands, and the button placement is just all wrong compared to a Gamecube or 360 controller. In todays market completely dominated by FPS games, it seems silly to have such an old clunky controller for your new top of the line system.

Oh, and yes I know what a resonant transformer circuit is, because I'm not an idiot.

the system might make a comeback but SONY just lost a ton of money

they are never going to make money off of that system, Remember the PSP? to make money for that they had to make a Hannah Montana PSP and they STILL aren't going to make any profit off of it.

The price was way too high from the start and all of that hype about blu-ray never helped the system get off of the ground and yet another system falls because its a one-trick pony.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It may be super advanced but if you can't afford it get a bailout...I mean you cant buy it...:p

So what else is new? I love how IGN was pretentious enough to claim the PS3 on it's way to domination because of a two month sale increase in Japan, fueled by the FF13 demo. It's becoming more apparent that Sony is getting desperate by releasing the floodgates on their exclusives to justify their ridiculous price. I own one already, and I still realize that has to be the worst plan ever in this current economic state. They need to seriously get it together and drop the price before they go any further into the red. a 1 billion dollar profit loss is not an easy thing to absorb for any company even Sony. At this point the more stubborn consumers are concerned with their console surviving, no one is going to pay for something that possibly will not survive the long haul. Anyone else seeing the similarities Sony is showing with Sega?
^ this
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$400.00 for the cheap version $500.00 for the "better" one but they are barley covering the blu-ray player costs, what does the rest of the system cost? my point is they will never turn a profit and any month now your going to see a mass Exodus from game developers because they are finding out that just because its shiny does not mean people will buy it.

Figure it the hell out SONY, you've done it twice, look at what happened to SEGA.

From the article I read, they said the PS3 was on top - but they never mentioned how close it was. All they did mention was that Europeans hate the Wii, haha.
but the Wii is making a profit (PS3 is hopeless, 360 might) and at the top of sales everywhere else

Regarding the "PS3 exclusives are only as such because only the PS3 can run it" you know what other console had people trumpeting that shit? The Atari Jaguar. And given how hard it is allegedly for people to develop for the PS3 that comparison might be very apt. Hell i don't even know why I'm refuting a Dingo-ism, since he's either on Sony's payroll or Sony's been sending curvaceous women to service him sexually in exchange for misinformed statements about the PS3, and how Sony has been ripped off by everyone in the history of ever.

Simply put, I don't see why some people can't get it through their heads that maybe, just maybe, the whole world doesn't want a glorified Blu-Ray player that plays games if you simply must use it for that and tries to pass off text messaging as a major technological breakthrough. Maybe they don't want games with horribly shoehorned in "sixaxis" controls that let you do things like jiggle the controller to make a woman's breasts bounce (feel free to just try refute that one Dingo, I know you're a fan of the game I'm making a specific jab at). Maybe there are some good games for the PS3, but for the life of me I cannot think of 10 that I would want that would justify the price and shoddy online capabilities of a PS3. Yes I said shoddy. $50 a year goes a long way towards quality. And my 360 only bricked once, and was replaced for free, even though they really didn't have to do that (it was before they announced the free replacement deal and I had no warranty).

But I'm not here as a fanboy of Microsoft, or Nintendo. No I am here as somebody who views Sony on the whole as a perpetual factory of lies and misdeeds that is finally reaping what they sow. This is for all the fake movie reviews, the shitty computer customer service (break a computer then have the gall to tell the user that it was broken when they got it? I don't think so!) the fake PSP testimonials, and most importantly, for the arrogance that "The Console War is over" in 2002. Although I guess ironically it is over in a sense, and the winner is still the PS2. I guess that's almost fitting, seeing as how there's a reason the PS2 is the last product by Sony I will willingly own. It's a damn good console with a damn good games library and its success is reflected as such. Also it wasn't trying to be anything other than a games console. Sure it could play DVDs but that wasn't repeatedly bashed into our heads. Maybe that's why it's doing better than the PS3 even now. Of course the fact that people can afford the thing and don't feel obligated to have an HD-TV (protip: even when the economy was good most people didn't have HD-TVs) to enjoy it might help as well.
