Gaming - PS3's future - View Post

Bill Gates? Is that you?

If you think the PS3 will go the way of the Dreamcast you might want to get your numbers correct first:

The PS3 has already in 2 years sold more then the Saturn and Dreamcast combined.

The PS3 has sold more then the Gamecube did in 5 years.

The PS3 has sold millions more then the 360 had at the same point in it's lifecycle.

The PS3 is still $200 more then the entry priced 360 with plenty of room for pricecuts.

So why would you assume the PS3 is going the way of the Dreamcast? Because you're trolling? Oh but you said you weren't trolling so you can't be.


  And the Videogame market has grown 20 times since the saturn and dreamcast days so saying that means it is doing crap!



"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
