 He tried to prove me wrong by saying," Wait. You realize that both the Wii and 360 also update their firmware on a continual basis, right?" This says it all. His trying to make a point by saying, if the PS3 is able to survive that long so will the 360 and Wii. When I never said anything involving the Wii or 360.

Here I thought people were saying , "Graphics don't matter!" What happened to that?

Blue-Ray wont be selling in 2016? Dvds sell today in 2008...

 

 

 

 

I can't speak for anyone else, but I tend to think that an improvement in graphics are no longer the primary reason why someone upgrades their console; and it is the overall improvement offered by a console which attracts consumers (which includes user-interface, ai, physics, graphics, etc.) ... The processing power difference is just the easiest to explain

Besides that, Blu-Ray is a storage format and has (very) little to do with how impressive the graphics of a game are ... consider that the XBox 360 produces graphics at the same level as the PS3 using DVD rather than Blu-Ray.

You stated, "The problem is that consumers will still need to be interested in the PS3 after the next generation of consoles are released, and I have never seen a single firmware update which has produced any public interest in any product." I said, Blue-ray won't be selling in 2016? What I meant by this was that there are reasons for people to buy a PS3 even in that time.I'll assure you Blue-Ray isn't going anywhere in the next 8 years. I could be right or I could be wrong. Only time will tell.
