I agree 130 M ps2 owners are going to regret the nexgen playstation because some xbot in the internet says it sucks.

You talk like the ps2 userbase is a demographic monolith that belongs to sony. That's Sony's official line - those 120m ps2 owners will upgrade to ps3 when it hits a price point they can afford. The problem with this line is that Sony's own dominance contradicts that statement - they did take Nintendo's userbase afterall, didn't they? Sony and you expect people to hug their ps2's until the ps3 price/quality is worth the upgrade - the problem is, the ps2 userbase has already started migrating to new gen (last gen sold 180M consoles, so far around 35M sold this gen so roughly 1/6 of the market has moved on at this point) and they aren't picking the ps3 over 360/Wii, not even at 400$.

 

edit: oh and for the record, when did I say the console itself sucks? all I am saying is that the market is not welcoming the product which a glance at this site's homepage should be telling you already.
