Well, they will have some great games coming. Also, there will come a day when HD is more of a standard and if Blue-Ray is doing well the PS3 will sell better. But, the problem is Sony is falling behind now. They will catch up some later, but I don't see them ever catching the 360. It's almost as good graphically, has the best online system, give you choices, and is cheaper sans HDDVD drive. You are correct when you say that Sony needs to admit to themselves that they have made a few mistakes and that the competition is for real this gen. They have to admit that the PS3 isn't the PS2. They seem to think that because they dominated last gen they will continue this gen. Nintendo knows better than anyone that the previous gen means nothing.

i still dont see why people keep talking about the next gen war. nintendo isnt even part of it. people just keep putting it in there. nintendo isnt trying to beat the ps3 or xbox 360 it is just providing entertainment. ps3 is competing with the xbox. people can say that wii is for kids just because of the games. but if thats the case then the ps3 is for nobodies (since it doesnt have many games) dont start that stupid fanboy stuff im just making a point. plus if you do it anyway ill just skip it.

Can someone close this thread? 3/5 of the pages so far are Shift yapping. There is a such thing as flooding. It looks like he keeps repeating the same 4 paragraphs, then throws in a final insult paragraph to anyone who questions him. From Shift we get, "The View (TV show where people yap about nothing for hours)."

i think ssbb masterjedi and hotpotato should trade wii numbers and have a little wii party then screw each other up the a*s

while screaming ohhh we hate sony while orgasming, u guys take fanboyism to a new level


As for the interview i think its good that they're planning on putting different region ps2 games up for download even if its at a small price i think its still worth it. Japan have had a lot of good games exclusive to japan only - Rival Schools being one of my favourites which was never released in Aus.

I think in 10 years time ps3 wont be around anymore, it'll be one of those old consoles that sit in your cupboard and collect dust, but i guess some would still use it as a dvd/blu-ray player(if blu-ray is successful to say) only if the laser still reads the cds.

Your right there not in the War, there jsut by them self's and kicking the other 2 systems asses in sells they have sold over 6 million Wii's in just 6 months while the 360 have been out for 18 months and has sold 12 million meaning at this rate by next June the wii will have caught up to the 360 thats pretty bad.

I dont really think thats bad at all. Lets look at it like this: Cheap affordable price + wide target audience + brand thats been around since the 80's. No matter how you look at it, general economics states the cheaper system will be more popular, especially if there is high demand and little supply. It doesnt hurt anyone to buy a wii, its not really an investment. And thats a good thing.

This also means its a great system to buy along side another gaming system. Many gamers do not stick to just one system. So really the war is between PS3 and 360. Nintendo Wii is not even part of that war, its the only thing like it on the market and its cheap. So no matter how many units the wii sells, its not kicking anyones butts because its in a whole different ball game.

please dont start trippin. im just point some shit out. adding if you will.
its funny though this time last time when nintendo wasnt even in the last "next gen war" when it was xbox, ps2 and gamecube. people where doing the same stuff. im sure fanboys hated that shit. ps2 dominated that time period. i wonder if sony sucked then? nintendo then make some decent hardware that "innovative" and starts to sell more than sony and it starts all over again. "wii is gonna win the war" what war? you know its like the war we are having. iraq vs the usa and some dumbass hollerin china will win the war!!? its stupid.

Iraq vs USA
LMFAO

This is the kind of statement that gives Americans a bad reputation for commenting on world events.

are we not fighting a war in iraq? is it over? did i miss something?
you dont see me sayin that scotland is full of fruity people for wearing dresses. (kilts) so dont try to insult me when you know damn well what i am talking about.

your not even.......... ......... worth it........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

psp and ds are in the same zone.GAMING and the ds is much better i see the same forcast for the wii in the console market

I wouldnt confuse the portable gaming systems with their console counterparts.

They are not the same. Portable gaming and home entertainment.

Nintendo has long since been the rulers of portable gaming with the gameboy. The PSP is sonys first attempt at rivaling nintendo in that market. So far, the PSP has been the most successful yet in history when fighting for that market. It so far has sold 25 million units at a cost thats the price of the Wii. Thats pretty dang good. Now the PSP is getting a price cut.

As for gaming, its all a matter of opinion, but my personal feelings are that the PSP is a much better system. Its game line up includes all ps1 games and psp games, which make it extensive and graphically appealing. It also serves as a means to play all those favorite nes, snes, gb, gba, some N64, sega, mame, atari, and homebrew games. Also functioning as a good system to watch movies, browse the internet and can be used as a portable usb memory device. Also the first portable to really use an analog stick. I would say the PSP is amazing for what it can do, and its marketed towards an older audience as well.

That's what I was arguing when Tretton said something along the lines of, "Well look at the PS2 and PSP, they were successful, so of course the PS3 will follow the same road..." Just because a console's predecessors did well, doesn't mean it will do well; such has been the case for many companies, look how many are left now.
Well of course they were, and are (IMO), the rulers, they've been around for 5 generations of gameboys before the PSP came around. But, the PSP has been around much longer than the Wii, PLUS it's in a totally different aspect of gaming; the portable market. So while you might buy a Wii, you could still buy a PSP while buying a Wii; but, it's not as much as a load as having say a Wii and a 360/PS3. You can't take your Wii to the doctor's office, if you could doctor's would be a hell of a lot richer.

The PSP is doing very well for its age; then again it's very understandable. It's Sony's 1st attempt at a portable system, people had to see it for their own eyes, kind of like the wiimote and the Wii. Plus it had things that previous GB's never had; things other then gaming (music, etc., etc.).
...hmm, sweet. I don't know a lot about the PSP, so I can't debate with you on that, but I just learned a lot. :/ With a price cut, that's gonna be some mean competition.

playin a portable mame nes snes. i might buy one. after the price drop of course. lol

And I prove my point.

Um cheaper doesn't necessarily mean most popular. Look at Game Cube. That was cheap and it also sucked and was unpopular.

that didnt prove your point. if i know a price drop is coming tomorrow (not that it is but soon) it wouldnt make sense to buy it today. that is just as shift would put it illogical captain. lol. if i had known it sooner i would have considered buying one then. but dont mean i would really go do it. just consider it. <<<<what the hell is this any way?
