I only see that Sony mangaed to pull out of the same track the DC was in and is now doing better |
And there are more than enough anticipated PS3 games lined-up for Japan. MGS4 will help considerably in the short term. Once Final Fantasy and a slimline PS3 launches I predict Japan will go PS3 crazy.  The PS3 is a 10 year product strategy, for Japan it was a 1st round knockout against the 360, first punch knock out actually. |
10 year product that is obselete in 2009. AMD and Intel release amzingly fast CPU and GPU combined processors which more than double dot productions in gaming. PS3 or 360 will not last till 2017. Both are equal in graphical capabilities. And niether will be able to run the new UE4 which is being developed for the new PC processors. Question is where does this leave ATI and NVIDIA?

The PS3 already has some of the technically most impressive games such as Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction Opinion, yet such games only scratch the surface of what can be achieved through PS3 specific game engine enhancements. Opinion Consoles are easier to use, no fuss strainght forward and more seamless in usage for many things. Half-truth It's not only about raw power, but Windows by itself drains a lot potential PC perfomance Half-truth and games are never optimised to the extend console games are being optimised for the remaining power. Lie Consoles are also about value for money Fact, currently there is even no expensive x86 Windows PC available which provides the equivalent performance potential that the PS3 Cell processor can provide Lie nor do PCs offer a Blu-Ray drive by default Fact at console price points. Lie The PS3 will get cheaper Fact and slimmer in course of time Opinion, the games library will rapidly expand Fact and improve in quality Opinion, the Blu-Ray movie library will expand Fact, new services like Home and PlayTV will be launched Fact, this all considerably enhancing the value for money ratio for the PS3 Opinion . If you understand this then you can understand why the PS2 is still selling pretty well Lie, but the PS3 is now much better specced than the PS2 was for the time the PS2 console launched Fact, much better!

I've provided a helpful legend with which to read MikeB's post.
Also - $130 BluRay PC drive |
Heh Mr Troll, to address the alledged "lies". - Nearly everyone knows in course of time consoles are being pushed better to their limits than PCs will, the reasons are actually quite simple, PC owners have a great diversity of differently specced hardware, different CPUs (also differently clocked), different RAM speeds, different GPUs, different motherboard settings and chips, etc. Thus games aren't being optimised as well for PC hardware as sofware will be optimised during a console lifecycle. Read what I called a lie. It was not "being pushed to their limits," it was being "optimized more." You also used the word never which is a HUGE generalization. Supply proof that all console games are optimized more than PC games. Unless you can do that, I call BS on your statement Opinion - The Cell processor and PS3 is being bought by scientists to mimic the human brain or research blackholes. The Cell is a pretty special very powerful general purpose processor. Again read what I called a lie. The fact that you are saying that no processor is better than the gimped PS3 processor is laughable because it is surpassed by the real Cell that isn't partially handicapped due to cost limitations. Also the fact that you say the word "potential" in your statement makes it into even more of a laughing stock because until this mysterious potential is unlocked, we'll still be seeing 360 games better than or equal to their counterparts. Opinion - A 130 dollar PC Blu-Ray drive without a PC is pretty useless. You also need a casing, motherboard, RAM, CPU, graphics card, harddrive, likely Windows, mouse, keyboard, etc and probably a monitor and speakers. It will be more expensive and will not be a real PS3 replacement at all, something you comfortably use to watch movies and play games on the couch in the living room. Read what you wrote MikeB. You asked for a PC BluRay drive at a "console price point" and I pointed out one with a price of half that of the Wii. You can't make a comment and then shift the goal posts, it doesn't work that way. Opinion, especially when it suits your agenda
- The over 8 year old PS2 outsold the XBox 360 in January and February in the 360's strongest market according to NPD tracking. I think the PS2 still performs honorable. The reason for the PS2's success, not the success itself, is unrelated to all your talk of the PS3. Opinion |
