The stupidity of some people amaze me I love reading when people only name a few games that are coming to a system as being thier salvation. There are alot of games coming to the market for the PS3 that are for casual and Hardcore. Also last time I checked GT5 wasn't a hardcore game since when did racers become hardcore?

As for your pathetic financials statement even when the PS3 posted their $833 million dollar loss for the 2nd quater financials the company still almost made 1 billion in profits if I remember correctly. So I guess you are right the PS3 almost made them close their doors cause I could barely get by with that kind of profit.

And the blu-ray market it one year into existance as well it is future money they are looking at not todays. Seeing that the movie industry in total is bigger then the game industry if the get 25% od the dvd market which is more then possible they will be making a ton of money. The only thing holding that market down atm is price but now alot of new movies on Blu-ray are coming out at 24.99 compared to 17.99 DVD only a matter of time before some of the market share swings that way.

So in addition to calling me stupid you make the vague declaration that there are many games on par with afor mentioned titles that are suppossed to be comming out for the PS3 (because I'm sure there are none what-so-ever comming out for the 360 or Wii). The games I listed are those that will matter the most to undecided potential adopters and thus serve as the most effective examples in driving home a much larger point. Agree or disagree if you like, but if namecalling is one of your first reactions then its fairly easy to see who is getting flustered by the discussion.

If all you can offer is pety hope that the unremarkable HD Disc market will grow any faster than it already has then you have my condolences. I like how you assume Blu-Ray will replace DVD as well, as if beating HD-DVD has garanteed it anything in the way of the market's future. Even if you ignore the varieties of more advanced and more appealing disc formats on the horizon 5-10 years down the road there's really no reason for people to invest in a new media library that only gives you the benefit of higher resolution. People want a breakthrough that warrents change, not a slight improvement over the existant standard which they're more than content with. DVD had huge benefits over VHS, CD had huge benefits over Cassettes, each was a shoe in because of what they offered in convenience of navigation, playability and an ideal preservation of ones media library. Digital picture and sound where just the icing on the cake in lieu of what these new formats reprented to the consumer's core interests. What HD discs offer over SD discs is just superficial and really silly when you try to use that as a reason to replace your entire media library. By your logic Mini-Discs would have been a shoe in over CDs.

More assets do no mean MS has a blank check to dump as many resources as possible on a commercially non-viable division. This is not to say that the game division does not have potential for more future profits. It is profitable, but not if they recklessly dump resources while simultaneously cutting revenues. MS did not become the company it is today with such business practices.

And being more adept at cutting costs doesn't mean Sony actually is doing so at a pace needed to sustain more price drops or that they can do so and not risk jepordizing the Sony brand any further. It's all speculation. What we do know is that from the past Sony has been able to cut the price of their product repeatedly (cuttin costs of production is debateable) and Microsoft has been able dump funds into the Xbox brand with no problem. The real question then which do you think these two strategies will become a problem for their company first?

@ 4D

Ok good comeback wasnt ready for that.

But how can u say they them games arent going cause a boost. Not only hardcores buy these games. Its just having solid titles in the shelf

btw dignity *cough*

Of course those games will cause a significant boost. But not enough. And certainly no more a boost than what similar titles on the 360 have. Since the day the PS3 launched you well wishers have been feeding us declarations of future games saving the console, and well over a year later, nothing has changed. Forgive us if we've grown tired of your promises.
