Sony is already going to struggle to meet demand for the PS3.

It is not logical to make that situation worse. Wait til you can better cover demand.

Also people can say what they want about Halo: Reach's 60 dollar beta code.....I mean Halo 3's 60 dollar expansion. But that's the biggest pile of pr bs I've seen in a while.

If you've held out on buying a PS3 for only GT5, then you're a moron. If you think Sony has "lost" this holiday season. Then there isn't a word to describe how low your intelligence is. As far as I know all we have is Japanese release date for it. It may release a little bit earlier in Europe and NA. Final Fantasy 13 won't release in March. I think that will be early summer.

see that is the problem...you did not even ask me if i worked in the game industry, you just stated what you did as Im right and your wrong, and Sony's #1 exclusive..is the catalog of  playstation  games  as a whole, that's the number one Exclusive, why because no one game is worth the whole catalog. 

as for saying to have it's #1 exclusive to not come out within 3 year's on the market is Sony fucking up. for one you should not be comparing prev. generation's to this one because for one the PS3 is not the PS2 or the PS1. Its the PS3 it has very high end hardware, that developer's are able to get quite a bit of fantastic results from, same with the xbox360. but it take's time because of the number of open ended thing's you can do with the hardware this generation. An if that means the developer may need more time to implement said function's in the game to make the gamer's experience better in their Opinion, I say its great. 

"you can please some of the people some of the time, but you cannot please everyone all of the time"

Playstation does not revolve around just one game it revolve's around many game's.

*Sigh* People are so quick to jump on the "PS3 is doomed" bandwagon, aren't they? I give up on some people, I swear. I'll just let the holidays play out for themselves.

See you are looking at this as Right here right now. how much time do you have in a day to game?

If your not that keen on waiting , than that's your problem. Not saying you do not have any right to gripe, but also on the same token expecting "to be on your ideal schedule" may not be realistic on every thing at once.

you may say I paid $$$ on a system that I am not happy with right now. that's fine but what is you want them to do put out rushed product than patch it later

which i already see in your rant you have already covered.

it is about patience. 

you may not want to admit it . but it is pure an simple In my opinion

It seem's to me more people seem to be worried about " it must release this fall in order to beat Microsoft" why?

does it matter?

even if Sony stay's 3rd in the short term does it matter if One game does not release in the fall, the fact that Sony put the date march 2010 is not that Big of a deal In my Opinion. you talk about Sony Milking franchises?

guess what every one of the companies do it

microsoft

nintendo

sony

they all three milk the franchises..that's what a franchise is for! 

Considering some said 'If GT5 comes out this holiday it will pwn the Xbox 360' so it is normal that a thread like this created;..

This is only negative for Sony.

Forza 3 will have all the freedom to get some race freaks getting a xbox 360 and will steal some potential GT5 customers.

- GT5 will sell not well in March like it would have been selling in the Holidays.



Can't wait for the 'Forza 4 VS GT5' discussions....Sigh..


Then again this is not Sony's fault.

or the xbox360 is doomed

or the Wii is doomed

or my toaster is doomed because sunbeam did not sale enough of their toaster's in a QUARTER.

It just seem's some people are in such a hurry to start a new generation when this generation has pretty much started

this is not like last generation, the machines this generation will be able to handle quite a bit more than the prev. generation over time with out the software looking dated.

at this point when GAME'S like 

Crysis

uncharted

gear's of war

heavy rain

metal gear solid :4

conduit

mad world

final fantasy: 13

little big planet

have the quality that they are in game's for game console's I just do not see how some gamer's are in such a hurry to start yet another generation. 

An i can See sony,microsoft,nintendo are also not in such a hurry to start a new generation.

So why are some gamer's?

So what exactly do you do in the video game industry?    If no one game is worth the whole catalog then explain why when games like Halo and Gran Turismo get released the hardware sees huge jumps in sales.   Obviously no one buys a console for just one game,  but alot of the time its one game that gets them to buy the system, then they find other games to enjoy. 

BTW,  the PS2 and the PS1 were also very high end hardware for the time they were released.  So if that is your only arguement as to why I shouldnt compare this generation to past ones, then it fails.  They have had about 4 years to get this game right or add any functionality meanwhile other companies have produced multiple games in the same timeframe.

Well since you like spouting little sayings here is one for you.

"Tomorrow is promised to no one, so live each day like its your last"  

Although if it was up to Polyphony Digital they may be able to delay the inevitable like everything else they have delayed.

and I think that's the point why should it matter to any gamer, as long as it's a game you could play. If you as a gamer want to play a game you should get the system that the game is on. If that means you may have to wait in order to play because of the expense or delay of a game's release that's sad and all but this is for entertainment you know, its not like life or death 

stealing GT5 customer's is not stealing if the customer will never buy GT5 ever!, that's the big point will forza3 keep someone from "Ever buying GT5?"

If the gamer still buy's GT5 later its still a sale, forza 3 may have a sale sooner rather than later. 

Oh come on. This was fully expected to happen. We've had rumblings of a 2010 release for months now, and here it is. You've all been prepared for the news, so suck it up and wait another 6 months (at least).

The real issue I see here is that by dropping so many titles into Q1 2010, they've now created an unhealthy sales atmosphere, especially with all of the other titles pegged for that timeframe. I guarantee at least two of the four titles are getting dropped out of Q1, and one of them is falling into next fall's lineup. Sony just isn't going to let their releases bunch up on each other like this. My best guess is that MAG and God of War 3 stay in Q1, Gran Turismo 5 moves to Q2 sometime in the summer(for EU and US only), and Heavy Rain drops to next fall.

Ok, if that happens I will go on a killing spree
