Well Silversen, we can hope that the PS3 does reduce its' price come this holiday season as microsoft has hinted at in their recent statement, then it will allow others the chance to buy into another system to satisfy their gaming needs and wants. Honestly, up until the live demo they showed this past week, I didn't even consider MGS4 a game that I would even rent, much less buy. But after seeing that video, I am completely sold on reserving a copy once it gets closer to release. I know what you mean when you mention how many games are multiplatform, and that will continue to happen for many of the 3rd parties so they can maximize sales across the board. However, I feel that in a way it takes away from the greatness a game can have if they focus on it for one system, instead of 2 or 3. Look at the debacle with NCAA 08. Not only did they release a poor slower framerate version for the PS3, but the 360 version is chock full of bugs. I know in games like that, there won't be any "exclusive" for any one gaming system due to the nature of the game. However a game like GTA4, may be lacking and not stand up to the past hits they had when they were exclusive to the PS2. (Well a timed exclusive, but it sure was a great game!) We'll find out on that later this year though if it feels like it's not quite polished.
Anyways, it's just something of a frustration when I read about one the products I own is ridiculed by some and few seem to stand up and say "Hey, wait a minute" only to have someone drive home the point that the PS3 is behind in the sales war so far. Believe me, I know that. But there are many who are outright proclaiming the demise of Sony in gaming, and that is not a good thing. All 3 can survive and bring something different to the table and be successful.
Well I should end this, as this is my first post here from my PS3 as I'm typing all of this out. :)
My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.
