you have to OPTIMISE games for motion tech, you cant just release a controller and go.. here you go.. play all the games that were unoptimised for this technology with this whole new controller! so that makes all the previous software library on the console INCOMPATIBLE with the new controllers.

2. You know what, fuck digital downloads... The way memory is getting cheaper i wont be surprised if console makers move back to carts, hell you can find 8GB chips for under $10. Heck thats AS cheap as a blu ray disc.And most(99%) games would FIT on a 8GB flash chip. Now factor in that 32nm tech is gonna hit memory- so its going to get even more cheaper and roomier.

3. I never said SONY launching a new console would be cheaper- I said the current console is so expensive to make and so complicated by the time they get the price down to mass market levels($200), M$ would be ready to launch the 720 or nearing it, and if m$ are smart as they have proven they are- they would price their BASIC SKU at the 259-299 price range. Now what would consumers buy- a 5 yrs old PS3 or a shiny new xbox720

4.The ps3 sells certain titles better than the xbox yes but on the whole xbox still has the edge.. and its common sense why.. coz they spend LESSER on their console, ergo they have more money to spend on software.

The ps3 is too darn complicated, the yen is too darn strong and the economy is too darn shit. Too darn bad. The ps3 will NOT outlive the PS2. better luck next time.

 

1. Yes even if they launch new console they will have to all these steps plus if we apply your logic all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games will be INCOMPATIBLE..?

so isn't it going to be a better solution to keep this controller and make the motion tech controller optional or add motion tech controller with the games requiring motion tech controller. just like Guitar hero games come bundled.

2. First decide wot u want, digital download or games on memory stick. Just remember Blu-Ray the cost difference of Blu-Ray or Memory Stick are going to be negligible.. so why even talk abt.. i m sure single disc of Blu-Ray will cost less than a dollar within couple of yrs.. 

3. launching a new console is not going to solve the problem for anyone. If PS3 can run games available of XBOX 720 in the high Def with 30fps than it will be a better option for many ppl. When anyone is buying a console, its all about games.. isn;t it.? so point is either they do radically something different like virtual reality games for which they require lot of processing power or i don't see a need for new console too soon.

4. Does it make a sense.? the answer is PS3 still have to go a long way in American market and it can't reach that market until or unless its price is not reduced.. As you can see from many threads here that Sony is producing more games for PS3 with every passing yr and also third parties are putting equal title on PS3. so i don't see Sony at a disadvantage.

 

1.OK the PS3 has officially dropped off BC, so the whole chapter of BC with older games is a moot point..secondly no one really wants to play Gran turismo 1 with a "waggle".. like i said motion tech is probably going to be a standard alongside the dualshock.. like how the wii currently has the classic controller for some games and the wiimote for others.

2. DO you remember the wonderful days of SNES, genesis,N64.. you could purchase cart games from stores! n you didnt need to download them! same theory applies here.. digital downloads would just be icing on the cake.

3. again..i dont even know if you READ anything i said.. so here ill make it simple.. PS3 current price $500, price in two years.. around $200+, NEW XBOX 720 with "waggle" from scratch.. probably $299.. with better graphics.. which one would ppl buy?

4. yea.. its the damn price.. which is killing them.. when your competition is half your price, you can only sell SO much. the PS2 was a worldwide success and sold millions in the "other" regions. The ps3 at this price point isnt making anyone in "BRIC" or other countries, drool.

The ps3 has too many bottlenecks, unlike the PS2, and is very very unlikely to last as long as 10 yrs on the market.
