Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony with momemtum: Reasons


u just have to put the game on x DVD and it is ok for the Xbox360 :))

well I believe that PS3 has her momemtum right now,
It is not bad to have done a "minus price drop" just before Microsoft. It will allow sony to strike again just after Microsoft price drop.

Time to Work !

Give it a month ... Just like after the European launch PS3 fans have jumped on the sales data as a sign of a long term trend; it isn't!

In a month or so we will see how much momentiume the PS3 really has.



People aren't going to buy the console for the mic availability online, neither for the arcade titles. Those are both good additional benefits, but not the reason you buy a console.

With the number of exclusive games coming to PS3 this fall and holidays there will be big exclusives across a lot of genres that will attract people to buy the console. The games sell the console first and foremost not the services that are there to satisfy customers that already bought the system.

Also, Killzone 2 is not done, Ratchet and Clank I think looks better than almost anything on 360 and Uncharted looks as good as almost anything on 360. Sony's first and second parties are churning out big games and now that the drought of games over the first half a year or so after launch is over I expect PS3 exclusives to keep coming that will convince people to buy the console.

These:

Heavenly Sword
Unreal Tournament 3
Haze
Ratchet and Clank
Uncharted
Eye of Judgment
Gran Turismo HD
Warhawk
Lair
Singstar
Socom: Confrontation
LittleBigPlanet
Wipeout HD

Are the PS3 exclusives for the rest of the year and that's a good variety: 2 racers, 4 shooters, 3 action games, 1 platformer, 1 card battle game, 1 karaoke game, 1 platformer/level creator.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

It doesn't matter if let's say in a month the PS3 levels drop they will still be higher than what they were before because of the games that will start coming out start mid August.

Even if the PS3 sales don't stay at 40k a week, they won't go back to 15k for the rest of the year mosts likely because of upcoming games and the holiday season.

I could be wrong, but I don't see the PS3 performing drastically better than it was before the price cut ...

The PS3 faces the exact same problem the XBox 360 does; it doesn't matter what kind of hardware you have or the extra functionality, the average (median or mean) console owner sees a console as being worth about $200. The PS3 could have Resident Evil 5, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, Kingdom Hearts 3, Halo 3, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Galaxy and any game you can think of in a 6 month period and it will still perform reasonably poorly because most gamers will not spend $500 on a console.

Say hello to the new argument, same as the old argument. Every console fanboy can list their games, pretend that they'll all be great, pretend that none will flop the way good games sometimes do, and pretend that people will actually put down hundreds of dollars to play those games. Until these games actually hit, actually get good reviews, and actually convince people to pay $560 (or is it $660) to play them, it is a very weak argument.

- price cut Depending on your point of view. When a clear, across the board cut arrives, the competition will have little trouble matching.
- great deals (amazon) Wonder why Amazon is offering such "great deals" for the PS3 but not the 360 or the Wii?
- steady stream of software As is true of all 3 consoles
- dominating game shows Dominating? Sony won E3 according to some sites, but didn't dominate. Mainstream press is crowning the Wii the winner (as I predicted).

C'mon, you can do better.
