I'm not saying the PS3 is dead on arrival-I'm saying the launch is the same sort of badly planned out joke that all four of Sony's system launches have been. But hey-I'm not comparing it to Nokia's N-Gage. Now that was dead on arrival.

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.
