I don't think the PS3 is "doomed" persay. It's just that people painted expectations according to history and the performance of the PS1 and PS2. Those two systems were amazing, and sure their younger brother is a little rough around the edges. But it is still loved by many fans and still contributes much into the gaming industry as we know it. XMB may become the standard for all consoles in the near future, NXE is pretty damn close to it. And Blu-ray is likely to be adopted as the prime gaming media in the near future as well.

So what I'm sayin' is PS3 isn't doomed. Just people's expectations of the PS3 is doomed. Look at it a different light and the PS3 is a pretty damn amazing system and running around waving the doomed banner makes you look silly. It's doing very well.

Don't try to derail this thread. The PS3 is domed, like it or not.

Never! Someone's expectations that PS3 will outsell the 360 week after week and surpass it in the near future is doomed. But the PS3 is still going strong, if the PS3 was doomed we wouldn't be hearing rampant rumors of price-drops, PS3 slim. No one would care for GT5, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, or any other PS3 title being released shortly. The system will survive so long as it's fans remain true to playing b3yond.

What the hell are you talking about? LOL :P

I imagined I made myself clear in the last sentence. The PS3 isn't going anywhere, but people's expectations of it will change and are pretty much doomed. I doubt after the adjustments we'll see as many "PS3 will have outsold xbox 360 by X year."

Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

The PS3 slim is probably the only chance Sony has to undome the PS3. Neither Gran Turismo 5 nor God of War III will change a thing.

I don't think it is domed, doesn't that imply a circular shape, it is certainly curved, but I generally associate a dome with the top half of a sphere or something like that

Oh, and I really don't like these threads, they are mean to new users who don't know all we are going to get from you is sarcasm

We don't need none of your sass. The PS3 is domed. End of story.

GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

If they used lots of original PS2s they might be able to save it from its fate as domed
