I'm still gonna buy the PS3, so i'll judge it when it comes out. Worrying though..
My dad is obsessed with getting a PS3...I'd rather have a Wii myself, but meh.
From what I saw, the PS3 has some nice stuff. Also, a friend of mine was on ebay, looking up how much things cost, and saw a NEVER OPENED PS3 for over $1,000 USD. Didn't include games or anything. If someone's willing to pay that much for a PS3, I'd say it's NOT a bust, but a buzz.
You should disregard anything that article said when he/she started making the genital jokes.
People at Gamestop were saying before it came out the ps3 was the best thing since sliced bread, now they say they're selling more Wii's and Wii accessories than they ever thought possible.
Wii > Ps3
[Edit] I noticed how alot of people were saying that all the ps3's shipped were bought. Just because a mass amount of items are bought doesn't mean it's that great, once they rip the box open and realize what-ever-doesn't-appeal to them is there, they prolly just figure they'll wait around until the big games come out. It's the hype and the various games that make it a seller. Kind of like the PSP, I wanted that just for luminus, then I realized it'd be a really REALLY big waste of money.
A massive amount wasn't bought anyway, because a massive amount wasn't made.
Well sure the launch was a bust, anyone can see that.
I'll get back to you in three years about whether the console itself is a bust, though.
I'm sorry, do you own a PS3 to make that kind of claim? How can you speak for other people, and say that they are disappointed in their purchase.Quote:

I wouldn't buy it given the money or the choice. Plus the guys at Gamestop were right, unless you have an HD Tv graphics arn't going to look as great. :(Quote:

Well the reason I said that was because my buddy got one with a copy of Resistance, and let me try it out for a while. I thought it was great, and he's damn happy with it. I know there's this whole anti-Sony thing going on right now, but some of the things people are saying are just ridiculous.
I'm not going to buy a PS3 because I refuse to pay six hundred dollars for a console. I'd rather buy a Wii for two hundred and fifty dollars.
Virtua Fighter 5 comes to 360.

The launch most certainly sucked. But it seems as though that eventually, I'm going to have to buy the darned thing.
The launch was crap. I have no idea how successful it will be overall, but the only thing tying me to the PS3 is Final Fantasy.
Now look at your next paragraph.Quote:

I don't bring this up to say that the Wii is bad or anything, but more to show that your point of people buying into the hype and then being dissapointed applies to every console. It's all a matter of personal taste.
