Except the PS2 cost $300 dollars, not $600. And how is the long term going to benefit a console that has chased away the consumer and third party developer early on handing over the lead to someone else. Please show me an instance in any generation past where this well-wishing strategy of yours for the Ps3 has ever happened. Developers and Consumers aren't going to just suddenly wake up one day and say, "hey, the PS3 has had better graphics for four years, we should support that now, good thing they planned ahead with good graphics, we obviously only thought graphics were going to get worse over time, never mind that all the games are now on the Wii and 360." This asinine theory that Sony somehow planned for the long term investment is just ludicrous and completely unfounded. All they did was create a console that shot itself in the foot early on by being too big too soon simply to try and bully the competition with short sighted tactics of shock and awe via its graphical superiority.

Your sheer willingness to think the PS3 is in any way like the PS2 is proof enough of your desperation to think everything will be just fine. Now you're reduced to making up theories that simply just let you sleep at night and the more long term the theory the better because the longer it will take for them to be proven wrong.

I realize such words may not be prudent for a Sony forum and the PS3 may in fact not be doomed, but you seriously need to wake up and start putting together some more realistic / palatable theories about how it's going to happen because this long term graphical investment theory of yours is the worst since people started comparing consoles to luxury cars. Look at the stuff you're spewing out! Is this a Sony forum or a support group for PS3 owners.

Dude you scared? Anyone that remotely dislikes the Wii or challenages the Wii for that fact is an outcast. This site has soooooo many freakin Wii fans it's beyond a joke. Sony have stated they have a 10 year plan. What proof is needed when they already had two consolesthat have had a long life. The ps2 is still going strong. WTF is a GC... I got one and I can't get $10au for the peice shit.
Yes the ps1 and ps2 had different launches and so has the ps3.... And yes no console has the same future. What you will find is ps fans follow the track record for Sony and their consoles. Sony is not concern about the race now. They know they have the games, the product and the fan base to get them there. The thing is... Too many Wii fans have counted the race as finished. But, it has only begun. It should be the time for the 360 and the Wii to start to bury the ps3, because if they don't they it will be history repeating themselves. Do you forget the user base of the ps2? Even in Japan? People are waiting for a two things- price drop and games. When that comes into play... the Wii and 360 better hold on to their crowns becuase the PS3 will be fast gaining (look at the effects of the small interim pricedrop in the usa @$400us). Everyone is already saying in 2008 is Sony's yr and that it will pass the 360. I know why ppl put the hate on Sony and the ps3. Because they know it's potential and ppl know Sony can deliever. Enuf Said!

 


Not taking into account games, you realise GCN was not only more powerful but also more durable then the PS2 yes? Piece of shit is kind of suggestive.. in fact I prefered the GCN even having owned both since launch day.

 

The correct, non-biased, thing you should/could have said was "I prefer the PS2 to the GCN as do most people" instead, you said some crap like that and made me no longer care to read past that point in your arguement.
