I don't care if they sell it for only $200. Until they actually come out with a game I want to play that is only available on the PS3, I won't be buying one. I buy a gaming console to play games, and the XBox 360 and Wii have all the great games already covered.

Whatever. There are better games overall on the PS3 right now than the Wii. The PS3's game drought ended this month but the Wii hasn't had a significant release since Super Paper Mario.

Anyway, it's a price-cut for the version that consumers preferred, according to Sony. It's funny how people will pick and choose when they want to use Sony quotes.

Edit: Super Stardust HD alone is worth $500. Heh.

That'll be what's put on the PS3's tombstone, "Metacritic says this system had the better games..."

Again, personal opinion is personal opinion. We've already establish in previous debates that reviews are not an objective measure of a game's worth and to use them as such is just childish justification after the fact. The only factor that matters to a console or game's success is its sales. You can cry about having the better games all you want but the fact of the matter is, you can't prove it beyond a Reviewer's opinion and in the end it doesn't help the PS3 one bit except in justifying its laggard market state in your own mind. Metacritic and Reviewers are just a factor in matterial to bottom line which you cling to in your desperate search for reasons to say the PS3 is better.

Even after the PS3 is long dead (should that ever be the case) we'll still have to listen to you die hards cry about how great it was and how much better the games were.

 


If the games are great I don't care how much it sells. The only reason I care about sales is there is a greater chance for great games.

If the great games keep coming, I don't care.

Reviews are the best way to see if the games are great for a system and will continue to be the best way to determine that. If you like the game types that have highly rated games, you will like the system. Simple as that.

Trying to tell me you like you system more because more people have bought it doesn't mean much.
