Insomniac's Brian Hastings speaks out on the PS3

staticneuron said: I agree with everything hastings said. Granted it can seem as if he is buyist but the fact is that people are writing off sony a little to quickly. The bandwagon is fun to ride just like it was in the last generation. Except the PS2 didn't fail... for reasons that could not have been forseen at it's launch. There is alot going for the PS3 in this generation and I think that it isn't gonna be and easy ride but the 360 and the PS3 are going to be duking it out for top spot. The wii..... not so much but I do not think nintendo cares about the tp spot... they are going to bank off of the wii and the DS for a long time.

By September 2001 (when the Gamecube launched in Japan) the PS2 had already sold 19.57 Million systems worldwide ( http://www.vgcharts.org/worldcons.php?date=37135&sort=0 ) so who exactly wrote if off? Edit: Also, by the time the Christmas rush was over the PS2 had sold 28.68 Million compared to 3.8 Million for the Gamecube and 3.08 Million for the XBox ( http://www.vgcharts.org/worldcons.php?date=37316&sort=0 )... This was certainly a close race ... Lots of people must have doubted the PS2's abilities then
