I can't help but laugh at people who piss away money on a launch Sony system. It's a realy hoot. I mean, paying the money is one thing, but paying ot for something that will most likely be defective is something else entirely.

I will buy this machine when good games actually come out for it, when it costs $200 and after 5 cycles of hardware redesigns to fix their initial [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty design and [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty quick fixes.
I probably will after Sony eventually loses the console race.

Exactly my sentiments. FFXIII and FF Versus XIII look pretty awesome, but not awesome enough to justify a $600 price tag that I simply can't afford.Quote:

Nintendo has always surpassed Sony when it comes to the heart of its games, and it will continue to do so. Next time you think about saying something negative about Nintendo in defense of Sony, just remember that your precious PS wouldn't even smurfing exist if it wasn't for Nintendo prompting Sony to develop it.Quote:

That's true as far as first-party titles go, but Sony has had much more A-grade third-party support than Nintendo has in recent years, and that goes a long way.Quote:

I may be missing something, but I didn't see much in his post that would insult Nintendo in order to defend Sony. It seems to be mostly the X-Box 360 he's talking about in a negative way, and the only non-Nintendo thing he said was that the Wii has yet to wow him. And not only that, but it's entirely a matter of opinion, which shouldn't affect you in any way. :nonono:
The battle isnt really between Sony and Nintendo, its more Sony and Microsoft. Most people who buy Wii's are going to treat it like a secondary console. Not saying that it wont sell well.
I will admit that the PS3 is pricey, but the consoles 20GB version is only £100 more than the premium Xbox 360. When has £100 ever stopped Sony, I believe the PS2 was £100 more than the Gamecube, and it still came out top.
secondary to you, primary to others, it can go EITHER way.Quote:

that's true, I find. It applies to me aswell. I first bought a PS2, but got a Gamecube later because it was both better and hella cheap. Plus it had a few must-have games. The thing with Nintendo consoles lately is that they are so cheap that very many don't have second thought about buying one.
Or you could think of it another way. The video game industry was pretty much dead before the release of the NES/Famicom. Nintendo is responsible for there even being an industry today.Quote:

I'll be getting one anyhow.
I won't get one unless it drops down to $200, preferaably less, and has at least 5 games that I want for it. So far there's a couple titles I'm interested in, but the Wii already has more titles I'm interested in and neither console is even out yet. In addition, the "six degrees of bad control", the de-standardized configuration (Sony has announced that the PS3 will not be one console, but a line of computers with varying configurations), and this rumor of PS3 games being licensed makes me pretty disinterested in the system.
