PS3's collecting dust

937dytboi · 01-15-2007, 02:16 AM

Well i was on another forum and ran past this. I use to be a fanboy you can say of PS but i still like them even though i own a wii and i wouldnt mind owning a PS3 if ity wasnt so damn expensive, but heres the link http://www.gwn.com/articles/article....es_Demand.html

and itll probably remain this way.

Interesting. Such low demand just 2 months after its release yet 360 was the most wanted for months later. Sony says that it's a future proof system but people are still returning it. Someone will take a fall after 07, and it's not Wii...

Once the price drops down im sure that wont happen as much, but thats still a bummer seeing the PS3 just sit there.

Will be quite awhile before it drops, and it would only drop a little.

Agreed, they are already losing a lot of money per each console sold, I believe they plan to make their profits with its games which has failed, because if the consoles don't sell, why would the games do any better? I have a feeling Sony is not taking anymore risks with the PS3, so price will not drop, but if it does, it will be small.

man i hate to see PS3 take a hit like this, but i was a person that was drawn away by the price, i really dont need a system with a dvd player, i guess thats one good reason y i settled with the wii and i wasnt to impressed with the dvd player of the PS2. I had to get rid of all of my games for PS because my PS2 started to act up and i was in a delimna to get a wii or PS3, and the wii was the choice but i wish i can still get a PS3 though

its not only the price that sucks. 1) its the price your going to have to pay to get your whole entertainment system up to speed with the ps3 if you dont have it allready 2) no motion sensor 3) why pay 600 bucks plus 50 more to play a basketball game i can play on ps2

you dont HAVE to get your entertainment up to speed and they do use motion sensing in the basketball games, i recall watching a demo of it.......

whats the point of getting a ps3 with its awesome graphics whe nyou cant get awesome graphics cos of the rest of your setup. why buy a hd dvd player when you dont have an hd tv.

just buy them until you do get a hd tv and just because your not playing on a hdtv dosent mean the graphics arent awesome....(ex: 360) ive yet to notice the difference (i know there is one just not that ive noticed with my lil experience on hd)

i know i really am not a fan of sony its just sad to see sony fall like this. i think this is the last we see sony.

Wii&Ps3 · 01-16-2007, 05:51 AM

Yeah it sure is the last of sony when they have sold more systems at launch than the 360, the ps2, and the ps1

Get your facts straight.

Excite Truck · 01-16-2007, 06:01 AM

well hey i ws just stating my opinion. just from the looks of it it just may not last so long. im not trying to be rude but i just wanted to state my opinion.

Xanthan · 01-16-2007, 08:48 AM

I was just in BestBuy in Augusta, Georgia at 7pm at night and there were atleast 20x, 60gb pro models in a neat circular stack in the center isle just sitting there. 2ft away there was a similar display of 360's. Meanwhile the Wii section was a baren desert. I have a feeling this trend will continue for the next few months. I do believe once a hit title releases on the PS3 they will start selling again. We shall see.

christicehurst · 01-16-2007, 09:35 AM

I'm surprised to see Sony starting to crash like this. But the console is too much.

Damn man. So they sold more than the 360, ps2, and ps1 combined? Where the hell do you get this stuff? I mean come on, grow up and get your facts straight son. 360s were completely out of stock on its launch because every one sold same way with Wii. You still are clearly confused about the concept of supply and demand. Sony is supplying PS3 systems, but the demand just isn't there. Nintendo can't supply demand for what seems to be the best console of this generation and Microsoft is still selling more consoles left and right than Sony is for the PS3.

I love my PS2, this isn't biased information. I really love my PS2 I'm playing Final Fantasy XII right now, but the PS3 really is just collecting dust in stores. Not many really want one, whether it be because it looks as if Sony may have to pull out of the console market, its overpriced, its not as good as the 360 or whatever their reason. Bottom line is that its just not as good as the other 2 systems available. Xbox was the original Video Game Computer console. Sony's PS3 is just a generic xbox360 with a little bit more horsepower for its fewer titles. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony leave the console scene in the next 3-10 years. They might be able to recover from the PS3 though. Nintendo recovered from Virtual Boy.

I think they got to caught up on the dvd portion of their systems instead of the real reason of the gaming system. I feel a game system is what it says and nothing else if i need a dvd player i will go out and buy one, i dont need one attached to my gaming system. Thats just my opinion. This HD-DVD and Blu-Ray war has gotten to these game makers heads and i really dont understand it when they suppose to be working towards more innovative ways of gaming
