Regardless...developers, the media, and Sony fanboys all thought the PS3 would obliterate the competition... Sony still expected it to perform well considering the price and Sony fanboys did as well! Especially when early in the launch it was selling out...only to be resold on ebay!
Many claimed the Wii was a fad for the longest.....reality is just setting in for many that the Wii is really changing the game and is here to stay. |
Perhaps you just read too much into forums.
I didnt post at any game forums and only casually read articles back when Ps3 and Wii were launched. I thought it was pretty much common sense that Ps3 would NOT obliterate anything when it came out.
A $600 console, with an unproven and unpopular format (BluRay), and an older system (Ps2) that still had a lot of good games coming out for it.
However, this gen is far from over and I do think Ps3 will pick up a lot of steam when there's a price drop. If they sell it for $300 USD this Xmas it's going to sell like crazy. BluRay is also more popular now. And since Ps2 is pretty much done with, Sony devs can focus on Ps3 and it's starting to show with great games like KZ2, inFamous, God of War III, etc.
