Probably only a couple million of owners bought a PS3 just for Blu-Ray, but it likely helped encourage maybe another 5 million more purchase PS3 over 360. A lot of people look at PS3 and 360 games on even ground, but heck if PS3 also comes with Blu-Ray, then they go with that. Next gen Sony will be on even playing grounds with MS (Nont Nintendo since they refuse to pay loyalties and made their own format). This is just hypothetical, the impact of not having a new and exclusive media format can be a big or small hinder or boost to sales. Anything goes. agreed. wht precentage of those few milion that bought the system for Blu-ray only have turned into gamers?
Are new IP's really that important for you? I'm not 100% gareneteed to get a PS4, but like you I'm leaning toward it simply because of brand loyalty/power. For me it's more about what they offer. I need good games of the genres I like (new and old IP's or JRPG's, Shooters, and Racing games). I want good graphics, reliability, value, free online, and in general some good multiplayer games. I care more about the the system and the number of appealing games then overall number of new IP's. 360 did it for me this gen, but it's bailing out on me in terms of reliabiliy, value, and online. The gen before GCN did it for me, but it just had a little too few games to keep me exclusive. ok maybe i've gone overboard with the new ip thing. no there not that important but its avoiding the Ninty curse for me. the Ninty cure is reliability in there core ip. i don't care how innovative they are eveerytime they make Mario its still Mario nd thats the thin that doesn't change for me. i guess i need that level of change. i'll change it back to 10 new innovative ip and 10 exsisting ip. its franchise reliability.
Ps360 is maxed out, developers are just learning new ways to improve graphics without increasing demand on the consoles. Dev's could learn more from current gen systems, but they are limited. dito i figured as much
For Blu Ray Disks 45GB to 90GB. PS3 Blu Rays are about 45GB in size. as i thought. God of war has taken up the most space so far was i've heard. i think it was 35g?
About RAM, my 9 year old Tower has 1GB of RAM and a higher bus and faster processor then PS360. However it's a single processor, and giant. ?. i'm a business major not a tech guy so run that by me again
PC by tradmark is a "Personal Computer." Mac is not a personal computer by trademark. The PC trademark just got so popular, everyone started calling Mac's PC. This is just as wrong as calling a PS3 a Nintendo. Microsoft own the PC trademark, that's why it's illegal to advertize Macs as PC's (they aren't). It's just a funny fact. lol
It's understandable to have left consoles for PC in the 90's. PC games just aren't what they used to be. Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity, Diablo, and Warcraft were all addictive as hell. Dunno much about PC's, so I can't expand on this point, sorry. mute

I wouldn't know what percentage of people who bought the PS3 for Blu-Ray would be, nor would I know how many of them turned into gamers. I would imagine about 1-2 million PS3 owners bought a PS3 for Blu-Ray, and maybe 10% of them turned into gamers which a collection of no more then 5 games. I base this off the few individual cases I know (for PS3, PS2, and PS1), so it's only an estimate.
I agree Nintendo need to make new IP's. Pikmin for Cube was soo good, that's why I bought my Wii. (also to make up for many ruined IP's on the cube, like Mario Kart and Super Mario). For the same reason as you I am skipping generations on the console in the belief that the 9th gen Nintendo console will be BC.
Nintendo handhelds are a different story, Nintendo really supports their handhelds with software.
Not sure about God of War, but one of the biggest games on a PS3 disk which weren't heavy CG ridden were Resistance and Resistance 2, both taking 35GB. I dunno why they take up so much space, but the load time in that game is much better then most PS3 games. I also know GT5 took 25GB, but that's only because they copied the game to make it run in 3D more smoothly. Meaning that 12.5GB are for the game, and 12.5GB are for the game in 3D. This is why there is a long delay when changing from 3D to 2D and back.
My 9 year old computer has a better processor, graphics card and RAM then the PS3. However the PS3 has multiple processors, and a dedicated graphics card. My point being PS3 tech is actually cheaper and older then you realize. Same with 360.
and mute? What? I dunno much about PC games, I'm sorry!
