    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.

    I think their sales would have been higher if they had more systems at launch. They'll keep putting more on the shelf and they'll keep flying off I think. The preorders were all gone in like 10 seconds, and that sounds like it's doing fine to me.

    If Sony is counting on FFXV to sell PS3's, they are in serious trouble.

    Roto13's obviously talking about the PS4.

    Games are great but not when they cost so much to play. That statement pretty much goes for all three new systems. Hence, why I own none of them and probably won't. I can tell everyone flat out that I won't be getting a PS3 because they are out of my budget as well as many others'.

    a PS3 is like the last thing on the list of things to buy in this lifetime. I could care less if I ever play of own one.

    Lets see, piss poor game launch
    Expensive price
    Failed to deliver all of what it promised
    Tons of unessesary gloating
    Backwards compatability that's not what it was cracked up to be
    3rd party developers abandoning ship

    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*

    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!

    You make a joke, I make a joke. We all scream for ice cream.
    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!

    Aside from the last point, which is something you think because omg suikoden vi on wii, you just described the xbox 360 this time last year.

    I have had every console for the last 10 years or so, Sega, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. I'm not a fanboy of any of them.
    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.
