To be honest, I haven't followed the launches. I don't expect to buy a next-gen console at all until sometime next year AT LEAST.
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.
I LIVE!!!!! AGAIN!
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.
I actually hate Sony. Along with Nintendo and Microsoft. Shes in her own little fanclub, sorry.
I don't see how you love something that has mediocre to crappy games. Are you the type of person that think Graphics are everything? Better yet, explain to me why the PS3 is considered "amazing." And don't give me a crappy answer like "It just does" or "it has awesome graphics." I'm not buying these answers

Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"

Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

That seems like an honest answer. He pays more attention to graphics than gameplay, so he prefers the Ps3. While I, and most of us, generally look at gameplay moreso than graphics, we can't change what he concentrates more on.
Edit: Of course, that is not to imply that graphics are all that the Ps3 has that one can respect. Saying such would just be ignorant.
