Analyst says PS3 could be 3rd

[Benstamania]

I know that the PS3 will be good. I have however decided not to buy one because of the way sony are acting (silly prices, treating us like idiots).

I know im not the only one who woont be buying one for a very long time because of this.

I can see Sony taking a huge hit this generation.

Wii will probably come out on top... Even though most people wont count it because its not a 'real next gen' console.

I agree with you 100% Mentok, and the only reason people won't count the Wii, if it does indeed come out on top is because most "hardcore gamers" are idiots, seriously. I've come to understand that intelligent gamers are few and far between and it's because of these idiots (People who want graphics over game play....in anything, extreme fan boys (not just Sony fanboys, etc) that gaming gets a bad rap these days.

I mean, come on, how can you reply to a post like this?

Wii i s a stupid machine. your paying for a new controller. in a few years you'll see the mistake nintendo made because they are the only company that will innovate with that damn vibrator. every other company will fall into a rut and use that damn remote the xacte same way. they have to continur to use that controller in new way for years to come or it will become stale. trust me. so whine about how graphics dont count but wii will see in a few years when you realize that the controller is a gimmick. and i aint drunk...

Serioysly, how can you? Without dropping down to THAT level...it's almost impossible.

So am I an idiot because(a) I would rather have a machine like 360 with spectacular looking games (Bioshock and Dead Rising, personally, PWN the crap out of any wii games I have seen) and(b) am not quite convinced by the wii yet? I think it's also fairly idiotic to say how fantastic the wii will be without having any hands on experience...it's not something you can take on hype alone. .

You are an idiot, but for other reasons

I should become a nintendo fanboy and up my intellectual stock and social standing

 

[Aiden]

My friend said to me tonight that he would get a PS3 for Christmas because he's loyal to Sony. I said "What about the price?" He said "So?"

What a 'tard

Who said anything about being a fanboy?

yet go broke at the same time. sony are already expecting an 844 million dollar loss.theres no way they'll drop the price so soon in it's life. amybe in fall of 2007. any earlier is a death warrant

Have Sony given any indication of the break-even price for the PS3?

 

[jaydawg]

Meh, analysts say all kinds of things. I'm betting Sony will still win this gen, but by a slim margin, with Wii in second.

 

[Lactophiliac]

The PS3 better not come in first or else we'll be paying $600+ for every system in the Next-Next Generation.

making back that expected 843 million dollar and then some. ps3 is going to see some harsh times ahead. 60-80 dollar games are'nt going to go over well.

 

[iceberg325]

It should be third. Look at the price. Anyone remember the neo geo???? That system went downhill because of the high price. I heard that the ps3 games will range anywhere from $59-$100. I dont think too many people will buy games at that price. The system looks great, but its not market friendly.

Yeah high prices for games would definitely put me off. I don't mind shelling out for the machine once the price goes down a little but I won't bother if the games will continue to drain all my cash.

I mean I love the MG series. But would I pay $100 for MGS4??? hell no!!!!!!

Yeah, I can justify a high console price if I purchase many games to dilute the price. If however, the games and accessories are also expensive, this won't be possible. Sony are really doing their best to lose illogically loyal fanboys like myself.

I think they are too worried about making the ps3 a multimedia device rather than making a great system.

Gamesmaster magazine in the UK seems sure PS3 will triumph this gen thanks to its large base of fan boys


dumb ass sony fanboys

well unless these fanboys are rich, I think the system wont do as well as the ps3.

No, but I bet that one will be announced at TGS. If people were b***hing about the Batarang controller and they bent over to the consumer will over that, there is no doubt that they will do the same with the price.

 

[giggs11uk]

I'm expecting a disastrous start for Sony (unless changes are made soon) but a strong recovery. They could be challenging for No.1 spot towards the end of their run once they get rid of the idiots who are making the current decisions.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Do people in Europe have craploads of money or something? If the PS3 were going to be #1 anywhere, I think it would be Japan.

 

[Iceman]

In England, we're used to being ripped off on everything.

 

[JackBauer]

well they've already lost one fanboy right here... cause I sure as hell ain't paying 600 bucks for the system and 80-100 per game. no f***in way.

only way I could possibly think about buying it is if the prices drop dramatically, and only when the SotC sequel comes out, IF it's not available on the 360.

 

[Horrorfan]

People who want the ps3 for one game or something is stupid...like mgs4 fans. If PS3 flops, unless the game is published by them, chances are it will go to 360 because the publishers will want to recoup the loss.
