Reading this thread actually made me register. I am just suprised at the ammount of ignorance floating around.
No, im not calling anyone names, im stating a fact. People are ignorant when it comes to the console market. They pretend to sound all smart, when in fact, they are just speaking BS.
This is coming off a bit rough i know, but it has to be said.
WE ARE GAMERS, and gaming is not like a nationality where you have to give loyalties to a country, system or brand. Thats just stupid. If you are a gamer, you enjoy games regardless of what they are played on.
From reading this thread, i can definately say many of you dont know what your talking about concerning the PS3. I dont support nor do I "not support" the PS3. Im honest about it.
Heres some things you NEED to know if your going to make false comments about it.
*Sony's Playstation went through a change inernally. Not the console, the business. The guy in charge is a retard. He let the rights for some great playstation franchises get bought out. The direct result was a below average launch game selection. Does this make the PS3 a bad system? no. It just doesnt have a strong selection of games at the moment.
*publishers are business men/women who control the games they finance. These publishers were offered better deals by microsoft. This didnt help Sony. Sony was late to secure the rights, now they are slowly working on getting a better game lineup.
*Blue-ray can make a HUGE difference with movies. As a film industry professional i can tell you right now, most movies being shot right now have not spent the time in post production to enhance the movies for blue-ray. They will once blue ray becomes more standard. Its slow, just like dvds were slow, and vhs was slow before that. Give it time, this **** doesnt happen over night.
*blue-ray requires a TV that can show the detail. You cant expect spectacular quality if your TV cant show it all. This also needs some time.
*The PS3 is an amazing system, it has a lot of potential. More so than the Wii. Its game selection is crap, and like always its first batch of consoles are never better than the second and third. This should be general knowlege. Sony is a great company. They have some branches that are below par (SOE for example) but over all they do deliver quality and have a huge impact on your life whether you relise it or not.
*Gamers like me are adults and have a job. 600 bucks is nothing. The PS3 will most likey go down in price once more games are available.
-Current industry practices these days include taking a profit loss with console systems. Meaning, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony take profit loss with selling their consoles. They dont make money off of them. The revinue is made up with the games. Nintendo has always had an upper hand in that it has a solid internal game developement team. Sony and Microsft rely mostly on third party developers. This is why Nintendo is able to offer their system for a cheaper price.
- The video cards alone in the PS3 and Xbox are easily worth 500 dollars. Add up the rest of the hardware and you would relise your getting a real good deal with the console systems.
In the end you have to realize, the nintendo wii is the nintendo wii. It is a novelty in that its a fun and simple entertainment device. Can it be compared to the multi-media devices known at PS3 and Xbox? No. They are actually in two different worlds. Hating one and liking the other, in my opinion, is not something a gamer would feel. Your loyalties should be to the games themselves, not the platform in which its played.
And though many of you might find it shocking, the PS3 can do anything the wii can do and better. All it needs is a wiimote and games that play similar. Will this happen? probably not. But hardware wise, theres a large gap between the systems.
Dont hate any of them, just be realistic about it.
-thanks
PS: if you are unable to read large bits of text and still want to comment, dont. Reading isnt hard, if you cant read this, you probably cant read a book. We consider those kinds of people disabled. I love the wii by the way
