If compression is the key, the PS1 would of used cartirdges, and PS2 would of used CDs etc...they didnt...
As time goes by games get bigger. Very easy to understand, before you could get games on those little floppy discs and computers came with 2GB HDD...then games started coming out on CDs and HDD were 30GB...then DVDs and HDD are 200GB...
360 will soon hit a bottle neck in space constraints...the PS3 outsells it every week and is closing in on total sales....without the hassle of mass compression and games on 4 discs...what do you think developers will do then? Once the Ps3 overtakes the 360 in sales and breaking even is no longer a concern because the PS3 has more marketshare and can sell more games do you think develops will hold their ideas and technological break thoughs back? No they'll develop to their hearts content...
It's like buying a house and you know you have kids on the way...do you buy a studio condo(360) which will run out of room fast or buy the family home(PS3) which will accomodate your family?
In my opinion the 360 is doomed to an early exit this generation...we seen how quickly the Xbox was done...PS2 has over twice the life...Im not going to pay for something when the competition offers double the life span. |
Its funny that you're completely wrong.
If one was to make a graph with low graphics on the left side of the X axis all the way up to high graphics on the right side and the Y axis was sales then it would appear to the casual observer that games need to have poor graphics to succeed and that games with good graphics are a waste of time.
Look at the games which sell the most and assign a score to their graphics with 1 being Wii Sports and 10 being Uncharted 2. You'll lol at Sony if you do.

1 WiiSports sells on movement...not on graphics.
2 I never said better graphics mean more sales/more fun.
What I said can be explained by making a graph from the dawn of video games till now, and then made a line showing the growth in space requirements. It will go up as time goes on... Now draw a line that says 7GB(DVD) and one that says 45GB(Bluray). Which line crosses the space requirements line first? The 7GB line does... while the 45GB line has space to handle years and years of growth.
Take me and my cousin:
He bought an XBox ($230) plus 2 years of Live ($120) for a total of: $350
I bought a PS2 ($180)
Support of his console went -poof- after ONLY 4 and a half years while mine is still supported.
$180 x 2 is $360. He paid $350. Ive played my PS2 twice as long but he paid twice as much...
I bought a Ps3 ($499),
He bought an Arcade 360($299)...he had to buy a charger set ($40) has bought two years of Live ($120) a HDD ($120) WiFi antenna ($120) for a total of $699.
He's paid $200 more than I have...yet chances are my PS3 will be able to play games well into this generation as it will outlast the 360 due to it's space capabilities and will be able to support games for years to come.
He paid more - but I play more...I'll play a lot more...well into threshold of the post-7GB days which is coming soon.

Lol, keep on believing that developers will abandon however many 10s of millions of consoles 360 will have sold by the time the PS3 outsells it(if it ever does). In the end it isn't their call to make, as that decision will be made by suits who will see the 360 install base as large enough to make games for.
