Ppl down the ps3 so quickly, I wonder if any Wii fans have actually tried the ps3. I tried the wii few times and I know for sure it ain't my cuppa tea. I want real games, with story lines, emotion gameplay and sweet gfx. I'm so hanging for Drakes :D Now that is a game ;P |
Why is it so hard for you to accept that most consumers see similar value in the Wii to the PS3 and are not willing to pay $400 or more for the system? Why is it so hard for you to accept that publishers are impatient and are not going to wait 3 or more years for the PS3 to sell at an acceptable level? What would have to happen for you to accept that the probability of a PS3 comeback was low?
The PS3 is going to finish this year having sold 7 to 8 million units and won't break 10 Million until May or June of 2008; at this point in time developers are going to realize that the PS3 is 12 to 18 months behind their initial schedule on when the PS3 was supposed to break 10 Million units. How many developers are going to spend $20 to $40 Million to target a userbase of 15 Million PS3 owners when they can spend $5 to $10 and target 40+ Million Wii owners.
Soon enough publishers are going to look at their analysts numbers and do a comparison of potential profitablity of games to be released in 18 to 24 months, and it will be less flatering to the PS3 than a technical comparison between the Wii and a bleeding edge PC.
