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.

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.

are u for real? you think slim will do more good than GT5?

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.

Wiki begs to differ: A dome is a structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere. Dome structures made of various materials have a long architectural lineage extending into prehistory.

Ya know, I didn't catch it at first. The fact that I didn't catch it for 2 replies indicates I need coffee. I'm going to get a coffee from my domed coffee machine and find a domed bowl to put some lucky charms in and eat it. Then I'll respond to joke threads better.

Great thread Squil, you really pulled one over for me.

@XxXProphecyXxX, It's hard to say. Both of those potentials can prove to be a wrecking ball for Sony. Let's hope sony knows how to make the most out of it.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

I think sony should take inspiration from this thread and make it pyramidal instead. I have to admit, I never realized that the ps3 was domed till i took the time to look around the edges.

i am convinced. I guess i should go and burn my PS3 now.

You really should. It must have been a tough week for you, a few days ago you learned that the PlayStation brand is kiddy and not hardcore and now you have finally come to accept the reality that the PS3 is domed.


Don't forget about the gap between 360 and PS3...

What does Domed mean exactly?!

Sounds lie the PS3 has been Punk'd!

Sony needs to borrow a page from the borg and make a Playstation 3 cube. Then make it assimilate all other consoles.

That'll win the console wars that for sure.
