Can sony do one PS3 related thing without screwing up?

[LunarWeaver]

I don't want Sony to fail... I don't want any of them to fail. I will go with whichever has the best games. It's not the people's fault Sony is getting a bad reaction, it's Sony's.

Despite that, I still mostly see people say "But I do still want a Ps3..." It's too hard to tell. The Ps3 will either bomb, or people are just bitching for the sake of bitching and they're all gonna buy it anyway. I don't know how things will turn out, but I'll just buy whichever ends up looking the best to me, be it Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft. I don't show loyalty to game companies.

If the Ps3 ends with an enormous game library full of games that I'm dying to have and would spend hours upon hours with, then I would pay the price to have them. It's all about will you use it enough to justify all the money, and since I have no life and gaming is all I do I would certainly get my money back in entertainment value.

But the same goes for the Wii's library of games too... =/

I just beg of Sony not to make 100 dollar games, rather I would pay for it or not

Sony failing may be good in some ways, it'll show Sony that they cant rely on a fan base to sell consoles. Sony will obviously go in a different direction when the PS4 is finally being made.

Im still against the fact that were having to buy all the extras that we may not use. If it was all additional, then I think Sony would have alot more people in its favour. Maybe they thought having an identical console with graphical tweaks wasnt going to win consumers.

Meh, the only thing the PS3 has that I know I won't be using out of the box is HDMI, and since I could easily see myself with an HD TV in a few years, that doesn't bother me one bit. Built in Wifi is also a godsend for me (talking about the premium package here).

I'm willing to give Sony the benefit of the doubt for now, especially on rediculous rumours like this. I mean in all seriousness, the details on price for the PS3 are all but set in stone now, and Sony has explicitly stated that there is a maximum price most consumers are comfortable paying for games and that they don't want to cross that line. At the end of the day it's still the only next-gen console I want right now anyway, and likely the only one I'll buy for awhile.

I will be getting a Wii no matter what, since it will have an awesome library of games almost on day 1, and it is completely affordable. Whether or not I get a PS3 down the line at this point is dependant on how the tide turns in another year or so...I never thought I'd say this, but they've driven me to it...my future just might not include a PS3.

Sony, you can take your Blu-Ray and shove it up your .

I personally arent complaining about what Sony's offering, but I understand that some people dont want what Sony are forcing us to have. Im still rooting for Sony to do well, I still want there console more than the Wii or 360.

That blog post is a load of crap, anyways. If you got to the actual news article linked in the page, it mentions Sony's planned to sell games for cheaper to encourage homebrew games on the Ps3 or something, but since that's not happening they may increase the price of games, to what it seems like Xbox360 levels, or a bit higher.

But it's all speculation at this point, so stfu and stop listening to some guy who hates Sony, linking to some guy who admittidly only cares about ffxiii on ps3!

[Erdrick Holmes]

I swear, all of the PS3 fanboys are in denial that their console's not gonna last long.

Also, XBox 360 games are NOT expensive, they cost around they same price XBox 1 games were when it first game out.

[MecaKane]

I'm not a PS3 fanboy, I'm a 'making baseless claims with only further speculation to back it up' anti-fanboy.

And yeah, they're not that expensive. $60-$70 is around the pricerange the actual article gave for the equivlents in Yen, well considering that PS2 games are cheaper in the states than they are in Japan, and that Sony continues that trend.

Dispite hanging out with hot chicks and having a killer mowhawk that Gerry guy has no reason to assume it means they'll cost $100.

I wouldnt assume that the PS3 will flop already. I'd say it'd have a pretty good run, hell, it may be a success for Sony. But it beating the 360 and Wii ( especially Wii ) is unlikely, for sure.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Who says Sony won't jack up the prices?. Sony's head is so far up it's own ass they will do that just because they know heavy fanboys will buy them.

Even before this a 500 dollar pricetag on the PS3 is asking way too much.

[MecaKane]

If we're going to start making assumptions based on the fact that Sony has a huge market share we should assume that the price of the first shipment of PS3s will rise, to agree with supply and demand, to close to $1000, Sony will change their minds about the free online play and make you pay twice as much as Xbox live, without any of the fuctionality.
And, hmm, let's say once you beat a game the PS3 will break the blu-ray disk causing you to buy it again for a replay.

[Spammerman]

Im ok with it halfway. itll take longer to save up for games, but at launch, i only want resistance: Fall of man, and later Assasin's creed.

Joel: why do you incessently harp on baseless rumors?

So, the question is not in the subject of this thread. Instead, it's "can Joel argue one thing based on factual evidence?"

[Yamaneko]

It's already been confirmed by SCEA that PS3 games in the U.S. will retail for $60.

I love you, Yams.

I guess that's a "no" to my question.
