Does Size Really Matter?

I meant it was gonna look better and more shiny.
there is no need to call me jackass.

Its going to look exactly the same.

well the original x-box didn't have a standing on it's side option which would have illiminated the space conserns. the new one has a massive external power supply which the japanese wont like one bit. add that to the game taste situation and they really don't have much chance. microsoft don't get the japanese market one bit.

IT'S STILL RUMORED THAT THE 'PS3' HAS AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY AS WELL.


BUT YES........'MS' HAS ZERO CHANCE IN JAPAN........THAT'S REALLY NOT THE ISSUE HERE. MY POINT IS, THERE MAY BE A DOUBLE-STANDARD, WHERE 'SONY' CAN DO NO WRONG, IN THE COLLECTIVE EYES OF JAPAN.........BUT WE'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH.

rumours about the PS3 aren't really trust worthy. sony has got sony style. the brand name didn't just spring out of no where. they really did have style and then named stuff after that fact. they've still got style and it costs more.

It's not the size of the boat, but the motion in the ocean.


But it sure takes a hell of a long time to get to England in a rowboat.

if you started in florida you could use the north atlantic drift. probably unwise to attempt such. i'd cross the bearing straights and then walk to france then cross the channel.

YOU JUST SAID A WHOLE LOTTA NOTHIN'.

 

[Danalys]

that's because you don't understand the benefits of style.

I SUPPOSE NOT.......JUST LIKE I DON'T SEE THE "POTENTIAL" BEHIND WASTING $600 ON AN GLORIFIED GAMING CONSOLE.

 

[Danalys]

would you spend 600 on a computer?

would you spend 600 on a computer?

DON'T EVEN GO THERE.......THE 'PS3' IS NOT A COMPUTER.....AND NEVER WILL BE. IF YOU FELL FOR THAT S**T, YOU NEED YOUR ASS KICKED BETWEEN YOUR EARS.

 

[Addendum]

UsedComputer.Com has a HPQ Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4 GHz 200 GB 1 GB DVDRW CPU Only for $600

So it does look like people are willing to spend $600 on a computer. It just has to be used

Well, I guess I now know of one person who bought the PS3 is a computer, not a console bullarchy.

SONY STYLE is a sperate entity to SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT. SONY STYLE is a LIFESTYLE sub brand.

 

[Danalys]

the philosphy that the life style brand is named after permiates the whole company tho.

the ps3 is as much of a computer as the amiga and atari st were in their day. it's got a linux kernal and an open programming philosophy. the games boot much as they did on those computers aswell. easy and seperate from the main computer os.

Sorry, it was just a way to try and avoid the higher taxes of consoles.

They tried it with the PS2 also.

IF IT DOES, SONY MIGHT NOT DO AS WELL IN JAPAN AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

THe reason the Xbox didn't do well has much more to do with the games. THere's so much more to the console then just size, the PS3 still selling well even with a big size means nothing in regards to the Xbox brand, since there are so many other things to consider.

Like how Japan just hates 'MS' but are too chicken**** to come out and admit that's their only reason for not getting into anything 'MS' puts out?

Right.

 

[Zenien]

I disagree.

 

[Extromaniac]

I disagree.

Obviously, because you love Japan in general. And as we all know, Japan's logic percentage is at an all-time low. Zero. Nothing. Nada.

INTERESTING.........BECAUSE TYPICALLY, YOU'D NEED TO ACTUALLY OWN THE CONSOLE, TO MAKE A FAIR ASSESSMENT OF IT'S GAMES. I GUESS THE JAPANESE PUT MORE FAITH IN THEIR SONY-BIASED MAGAZINES THAN THEY DO THEIR OWN BRAINS.
