Yet another bit of news that showed PS3 wasnt all Sony expected it to be

Yet another comment that shows sales2099 isn't the user we all expected him to be.

Comebackz of teh year.

PS1 and PS2 werent the highest specs of the competition. Back then when Sony knew how to run a gaming division, they released "moderately" powerful hardware, thus keeping prices for mass market interest and keeping developing costs down. 

With PS3, PSP, Vita, and probably the PS4, Sony goes for the high-end crowd, alienating the mass market that made them great in the first place. 

My statement holds true. 

ps2 was out 2-3 years before gc and xbox.

ps1 was considered cutting edge at release.

PS2 was out 1 year b4 GC and XBox

PS1 had inferior graphics to N64s best looking games. PS1 couldnt touch Ocarina, Majora, Perfect Dark, Conker, Donkey Kong, etc. PS1 was a 32 bit console. N64 was a .......64 bit console. 

Theres your history lesson.

ps2 was first released on March 4, 2000, in Japan.

xbox was released on November 15, 2001

ps1 released dec 1994

n64 released June 1996

I was off on my chronology, I had jsut quickly looked it up.

Both times it was 18 months out before competitors. A lot happens to tech in 6 months. In fact, it's frequently said that technology doubles every 6 months, I believe.

Also ps1 was the first to use cds and ps2 the first to use dvds. Both systems were more advanced than simply graphic level. cd and dvd allowed for games that were nearly ten times the size.
