Kewl.
wow....
Time say that, but I never believe anything about games and stuff like that, I only wait to see it for myself.
It's too early to call it a "bust." The launch was a bust, though.
LoL. Well, if it's true if it's worse to something called a "Wii" than wow...
Give the PS3 time...
Maybe you guys are right, It's just got released. In a while it might be better than they thought.
'If I Played It, Here's How It Happened'
*cough*
The PS3 has some big titles coming out next year, but I think the most important will be Oblivion at the end of February. Even though it is already out on other platforms, I think that it will be the first app that really sells the PS3. After that, I think the playing field will level out, even though my feeling is that the PS3 will be a better long term investment, and its games will have more of an epic feel then is possible on the Wii (but maybe not the 360).
For now, though, Zelda is top dog, with Gears a little behind, and the PS3 a long way in the back.
I want to get a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4.
Sony blew the launch of their fourth system? The same way they blew the launch of the PSX, PS2, and PSP? NO WAI!
Sony is pushing a little too hard right now, actually. I think it's really showing because intelligent marketing would've waited to put the PS3 out for at least one more year to get the manufacturing cost of the evil blue laser diodes down.
Course... going from $299 at launch for a PS2 to $599 at launch for a PS3 ($499 for the gimped version)... I mean, I'm sorry, but that sort of discrepency-doubled cost-puts people off. More than that, people have been developing a lot of junk ware for the... hm. If XBox 360, the Revoloution (I will not call it a Wii), and the PS3 are all next-gen, does that make the PS2, GC, and XBox current gen? So, back on point... dev's have been making tons of junkware for current gen systems-the hell makes anyone think they're really going to step up and make interesting games with actual content as opposed to bonus doo-dads and thingies?
Call me skeptic-I'll wait 'til the third FF on the PS3 before buying one (well, for FF anyways...)
Final Fantasy XV will be a system seller anyway.
The console's been out for just under a month and a half and they're already calling it a failure? What the hell are they talking about?
There not necessarily calling it a failure by the way.Quote:

All the systems Sony shipped, sold. How is that a bust?
Yeah, that's sorta what I was thinking. Weren't people getting mugged and such just to get one? While that's not really good, it's better for Sony than the alternative where nobody cares at all.Quote:

If Sony is counting on FFXV to sell PS3's, they are in serious trouble.
Wait, why are we talking about FF XV?
Roto, stop confusing people.
Roto13's obviously talking about the PS4. :pQuote:

Looks like a bust to me. But some fanboy's gonna try and proove me wrong sooner or later. *awaits for a post from Kane or Raistlin*
Not worth the money.
I will be buying a PS3 on February 20th. That's when Virtua Fighter 5 comes out.
It's quite a bit cheaper than buying a plane ticket to Japan for a week, to only play it for a week. And it's hella cheaper than buying th $40,000 arcade cabinet.
Yeah, then the PS3 will FINALLY have a worthwhile game.
Read your mom's thread. OOOHHH!Quote:

But seriously, I'm not saying this:
It may be worth the money but that's just outrageous for some good old leisure time. I honestly don't see the fun factor in all these newer games (which is where it's at, by the way, the games and not the system). I'm quite content playing my perfectly fun, perfectly inexpensive video games from yesteryear. I just think they're downright more fun. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Fun!Quote:

I like Sony a lot. A whole lot. But while I was playing Just Cause on my 360 and FFXII on my PS2 and felt the rumble in both gamepads I realized that unless Sony does something about their controller, I really don't have any desire to get their new console. I actually prefer the PS2 over the PS3 for that reason.
Sony has to do two things before I buy that console. Bring down that insane $600 price tag(I don't give a darn about blueray) and make some kind of deal with Immersion to bring back the rumble feature.
You've got some valid points there, too bad almost all of those things can be applied to the PS2 launch, and look how that turned out.Quote:

Heck, I'd say most of those still apply to the 360. Aside from Gears of War (which really doesn't interest me), what exactly are 360 owners playing? Certainly nothing that can be considered a system seller.Quote:

And since the only exclusive next-gen titles I want are on the PS3, it's the natural choice for me.
Playstation 3 is still very new! When Ps1 came out the first game wasn't the best one! :p I also believe that Ps3 needs new serials... It's just not right to judge it now... We have to wait and see if it really sucks or not! ps3 has a good potential... Sony woulnd't launch a new console for nothing! if they invested it it's because it has probably a good potential! :p
Wait, I did... except I didn't :moicle:Quote:

Wow, I see you point. :rolleyes2

Ultimately games sell systems.
Sony has been successful in the past because they had the best library of games (they may have had a lot of junkers, but by sheer volume of games alone they were able to get a number of great games).
As an example, when Nintendo failed to provide a suitable platform for game developers of renewable franchises like EA Sports' huge collection of games, they dug a huge hole that they still might not get out of. They became a Mario-Zelda-SmashBrothers-RE franchise system(s). If you wanted to play sports, racing, FPS games, etc., you were probably going to be playing it on a PS or the Xbox, except for perhaps a few novelties like Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, etc.
As long as Sony hasn't lost the good will of those companies who make the games for their systems, in the long run, as the price comes down over the next couple of years, PS3 will be a success IMO.
Plus they have FF. :D
There's nothing to explain, some stupid site had an article about how you can play most Suikoden games with one hand and since the wii is a one handed controller, as well as it being the least graphically impressive of the generation, like PSX and PS2, and a couple of other silly things. Nothing worth talking about at all, really.Quote:

You'd think someone who was planning to move to Canada his entire eoff life would know that. :cool:
I'm curious to see if SE releases FF on any other platforms in the future since they've announced that they will develop games for all platforms.Quote:

As for Final Fantasy XV, check the thread in the FFXIII section called "3, 3, 3, 3....3" (or something like that). The basic theory stated is that the third and final FF game on a console is the best one. Which well, that's just simply the truth.
No, I think the PS3 will do quite well. It will take some time to pick up steam though. I also think Sony needs to start under promising and over delivering, because the launch of the PS2 and PS3 each suffered...the exact same problem, I think. 400,000 units expected for launch that were unavailable? Artificial scarcity creates artificial demand, which leads to violence. People were mugged for PS2's, and people were shot for PS3's. If these are the signs of a successful launch, there's something very wrong here.
I thought that meant they were developing Final Fantasy games for PSP and cell phones in addition to the current Playstation version--basically what they're doing with FFXIII. I never got the sense they were thinking of say, FFXIV being available for xbox and nintendo. Or am I totally mistaken?Quote:

Granted, this encompasses the company's entire lineup, including FF and DQ. I just wonder what would happen if they released a FF cross-platform. It would be quite the show-stopper if they announced that FFXIII was going to be released on the 360 as well.
Technically they have, but it's just been years after the fact on generations beyond when it was originally released. Porting it across the same gen of consoles would be something to see.
Sony's already stated that they've solved the early production issues and are on track to have 1 million units available by the end of the year. They're even going so far as to ship them by air to stores, which is undoubtedly an expensive undertaking.Quote:

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.
http://gamesnews.virgin.net/Virgin/L...nology,00.html
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.

Everything's a dud to me. Nothing has appealed to me to make me want to buy it now. But in all fairness, I haven't really put much effort into seeing what games are coming out on what or what I can expect from the hardware.
All I know is that PS3 is atrociously priced and my friend already has a Wii. I'm all sorted. Temporarily.
Sony were unfortunate, trying to release the PS3 at that price into this market. Because if you actually look at what you buy, you're getting a smurfing incredible deal. But most people just think consoles have a set price range (Although nobody seems to question the quality of the massively underpriced Wii) and that there's no way a console could actually be worth more, even if a quick glance at the hardware shows it is. Edit: And when you account for inflation the PS1 cost about the same.
360 ftw, anyway.
Seriously, I'm not joking about that. Best purchase I made in 2006 imo. It's hard to see either of the new systems top it in any short period of time.
Someone at Time is on Microsoft's payroll.
PS3 is amazing. I love it, better than the Wii. I dont know what people see in Nintendo... PS3 ROCKS!!!! SONY ROCKS!!!!
So what are you, dreddz's sidekick?

Yeah, it's having major problems right now, and they aren't releasing any more until after Christmas. It's supposed to be compatable with all PS1 and PS2 games, but there's a list of like three hundred that it isn't. And the resolution for PS1 and PS2 games looks positively dreadful on PS3 when compaired to PS2. And they tend to overheat.
Hopefully all of these issues will be resolved soon. I personally will not buy one for at least a year, or when the next Final Fantasy, Star Wars or Mortal Kombat game comes out for it.
A smile always appears on my face when I read articles like that. I'm actually starting to feel quite sorry for Sony. I'm assuming they'll land on their feet with PS3 (as they always seem to do), but reading all that negative press must really depress the poor little guys.
most, if not every, launch tends to bust. yes, that includes the 360 launch.
look at the bright side, the Ps3 dosen't seem to have as many problems as the Ps2/Ps1 did when it launched.
Agreed. The 360 has definitely proven to be a worth while purchase. I reckon it'll probably be the best system out till 2008, by then the PS3 should get back on its feet and have plenty of decent games out and a lower price tag. This time is merely a dark spot on Sony's yellow brick road, hopefully this will push Sony to lower the price earlier than planned, I need one by mid 07.Quote:

(MGS4, both FFs, Oblivion, Mercs 2, F.E.A.R, Splinter cell: Double Agent and others that I can't remember now.) I looked at all those games, and it was the gameplay that intressed me, not the graphics. :)
