My PS3 has full BC.Codeman90 said:

EDIT: Actually I think this is all I have to say right now, it seems like people think this is the only sales data of the PS3 or something.
Well... I'm actually buying a PS3 this weekend to replace my dead 360 and I would never have considered that a month ago so.. they're obviously changing something.
...Want...Actually, no. I'm not an Xbox Fanboy.Pendragon9 said:
I had a PS2 last generation and played it so often it died a horrible death from exhaustion.
I'm not really a fanboy of any particular thing, used to be a Warcraft fanboy until they destroyed the story.
I don't have to be reasonable or use logic damn it. What I have to do is gather a large crowd and shamble towords the development offices that are making InFamous and gnaw on the door until they cave and make it for the 360.Indigo_Dingo said:
Oh, PS3, you and your badly marketed existence. Sony could have done so much for itself, but they chose instead to mess everything up...
Sony recouping their total losses for the past two years is impossible at this point.Curtmiester said:
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?
I bought a PS3, one with backwards compatibility.
The problem was, the PS3 had only a very small handful of titles that I wanted, and they were all so short it didn't justify buying the system.
I wouldn't consider buying the system a second time until they release some better games. I don't care about the graphics this system is putting out nearly as much as I care about how interesting a game looks, how fun the game actually is, the amount of game play available, and how the challenges progress throughout said game play.
Those are just my main concerns with a game, there is so much more than that, and at the very bottom of the list, is graphics.

I'm hearing alot of people on this thread say they want the PS3 to lose it's exclusives.
Whatever happened to it not having good exclusives anyway? You fanboys are so hypocritical.

Why? Wasn't one God Of War enough? I liked the First but the second one was the same exact game. We didn't need two, much less three.Godofgame67 said:
InFamous is as good as it gets. What else does it have, seriously?Pendragon9 said:
God of War 3 (Recycled Game)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (Boring game, bad story. For the record I didn't play the first two Metal Gear Solids, but I played the third one and the story was.. decent, but the game was terrible.)
Final Fantasy (Overall atrocious)
Killzone 2 (Hell, I remember that the original Killzone on my PS2 was basicly a Sci-Fi mish-mash of the Iraq War and WW2. I remember this city that eerily reminded me of Baghdad and another mission set with pillboxes and trenches with barbed wire that reminded me of D-Day. There wasn't a story I could remember, and the game felt clunky and mishandled. )
Besides InFamous the playstation 3 doesn't have a strong catalog.
As I said, I had a PS2 last time around, this console generation I waited, I did my research on what games were coming out for what console. A big monetary investment like this isn't something i'm going to do based solely on brand loyalty. Playstation 3 didn't really impress me at all. It came down to Wii and 360 and 360 held the stronger catalog of games.
Playstation 3 is failing because its always sold on the promise of good things to come. Well we WILL have this and we WILL have that, but for now amuse yourself. The 360, while having a broader catalog of games, still doesn't have the mass appeal that the Wii does. Not only appealing to teenage girls, but soccer moms, children, and those poor misguided souls who hold hope that Metroid, Legend of Zelda, and Mario will justify a purchase of an entire gaming console. I will agree that the Playstation 2 was the better console from the last console generation but what the fuck happened to all of the good games I remember?
Yea, that's what I thought too. PS3 has nothing lawl, please die so that I can play the exclusives.Pendragon9 said:
Ohhh well...
I do want to get a PS3 but one with backwards compatibility as well, do they still make those type's or not? Kinda sucks that you lost to your last model and not from a rival company. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta man my action station during this flame war.
What is your point? The Xbox and Playstation have virtually identical game catalogs except for the odd exclusives.Khazoth said:
Every argument you just brought up could be said about any game ever made, really there is no point in even indulging into this kind of comparative thinking.
How do you even know that InFamous is any good, have you spent any serious time playing it yet?
A big part of the reason I bought a PS2 was because it allowed me to keep playing my PS1 games while still being able to have, at the time, current gen games. The PS3 fails to do this, and costs a frakkin' arm and a leg, so I'm in no rush to get one. Maybe if it was radioactive and would turn me into an X-man or something.zeldakong64 said:
