The PSP has been out for a year now and they are just attacking a next age group? that's ridiculous

Well, lets be honest here. Did they really have too? Look at the success of the PS2.
Now lets look at the sales of the PSP. They estimated it at what, 25 million units sold with their current target audience. Now they are giving the PSP a price cut.
Lets be honest, they are doing fine with their current target audience. What will happen now that they start going for rabbit number 2?

well they will have some sucess or whatever have you, but i will always stick with nintendo regardless of how many rabbits sony go after. BUt like the other dude said. i always felt like sony tries to jam pack there console with different electronics. Honestly i only want my game for GAMES not videos, not movies, and not songs. I spend enough time on my pc and every room in my house has a dvd player. so this is why i feel as if sony needs to calm down with all the electronics in one. If you are making a game, keep it to being a game as close as possible and not straying to far. But in reality sony will always go after the rabbit they started off going after no matter what they may say.

Its a good thing we have options then for gaming systems. No one has to play them all.

yeah its good you have options for real........ The way how sony is set up now they have waited to long. it's easier to get the adults back than getting kids back. Right now nintendo is trying to get the adults and hardcore gamers back and Sony is saying they are trying to ge the kids. But to me nintendo will have an easier task of doing this, because they was never a system full of kiddie(so people would say) games. They always had a variety. Sony on the other hand always was for the hardcore gamers or the adult market..
Nintendo did what i said in that analogy. They set up traps hoping to catch more than one rabbit(and they did catch more than one and still catching more) when sony on the other hand made sure they got a least one rabbit and abandon the others.. If sony was to bring out a heap of kiddie looking games, you would see how much people would leave sony. and i think sony know this and they know they waited to long to catch another rabbit.

honestly, with Sonys price tag right now i cant see them attracting to many kiddies, plus if i want kiddy games i would rather play a kiddie friendly system, like the wii. The PSP might be different as its cheaper and a handheld, but probably not the PS3.

So it's obvious that they don't target the kids or teens audience..... But hey kiddie games are games made by disney and the others. you made the wii sounds like a kids game only. You could phrase that better than that. Its a multi-audiences friendly system. but anyway the kiddie word is for disney games and stuff. Spongebob and etc..
They probablly over did it though thats how i feel. No game needs to cost 600bucks.

OMG long post. Shift you made my eyes bleed. Ever hear of just posting the link and summarizing? You sure you didn't fail English class? Any teacher will tell you, your post was too freaking long.
Sony can't strike anything until sales improve drastically. Here's some actual news that would help you guys understand why developers are struggling with the PS3.
Summary: Only 25 games have been made completely with multi core coding so far. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6168900.html

Sagema, no need to just barge in and be ignorant. Any English teacher would be sad that you didn't read that. It's about 1/1000 the length of a book, and you read plenty of those in school....if you look at it like that, not very long.
Sorry, but you sound like a major Nintendo fanboy (I am as well, to a degree); for better or for worse...

But, he didn't need to come in here just to post that with no attempt at using his eyes/brain. A worthless post IMO.

He could've cut out a couple of the questions (the ones pertaining to GFX, etc.). But you (the reader) can do that yourself, just skip over what you don't find interesting. If you noticed, in my 1st post after discussing whatever I was discussing I skipped about 3 paragraphs by saying "Then there's a bunch of GFX questions...". Lol, I don't want to hear about 1080gb and the flargle-migajigger hardrive connected to the sonic-cyberboard chip as well the monstrocracklejackson....
That stuff just seems like jibber-jabber to me, all I need to know is if it has:
- bad graphics
- okay graphics
- medium graphics
- great graphics
- excellent graphics
Much easier that way.

Damn, I read all of that.
And ya, trolling is like if you see a thread called "Updated Graphics for the PS3"; then you go in there and say, "It's not all about gfx anyways. PS3 sucks hahhaaaha" Usually trollers are those who think they HAVE TO POST ON EVERY THREAD THEY CLICK ON, when all they have to do when they know they can't be productive is just not post.
I hate trolls...

Reading is awsome. I would pick a good book over a game any day, the bigger the book the better. But thats just the difference between you and I.
I made the questions in bold, so there was no need to read it all if you wanted to see how the guy responded to a specific question. I know you are here to support your fellow wiifriends, but its getting a bit rediculous at this point. I come under attack by these same people on a daily basis, nothing new ever changes. Its always, omg my eyes bleed, or you nintendo hater this, or change my daiper that.. Its getting old.

Trolls can be existing members of a community that rarely post and often contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative posts in an attempt to discredit another person, more often than not based on what they thought was said rather than what was actually said by the other person, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.
Thread Crapping" occurs when a person comes into a thread and posts something contrary to the spirit/intent of the thread, often derailing the discussion or turning it into an argument.
For example, coming into a thread about "The Greatest Beatles Album" and posting "The Beatles were overrated" is a thread crap. Another example: In a thread titled "I love my new Apple Macintosh!", someone posting "PCs are better and cheaper" is a thread crap. Master2Jedi is the king at this.
Trolls crap a lot.

"The short answer is, consumers will be surprised with how much the PS3 can do outside of gaming, and how intuitive it will be. Will they download digital pictures for the first time? No. But they'll see how much easier it is on a PS3 compared to what they've done traditionally on a PC. How intuitive and how all-encompassing the machine is will surprise consumers who already own it, and those who haven't bought it yet."
Yowza. You must be able to psychicly(sp?) download pictures, because I thought Right Click > Save As > Save was pretty easy.
But anyways, that has got to be, by far, the largest post I have ever seen.
I'd need about 20 of me to get through it all due to my attention span for forum posts...
