| DMeisterJ said: I mean, if someone buys a game based off of future updates of what might happen, then they seriously need their head checked. No one knows what any DLC is, or what any Episodic content is. And if I had a PS3, I would buy it on that platform just to spite Microsoft for keeping this a secret for no ungodly reason other than hype-building. |
Didn't Sony believe this kind of mentality would be used on the first 5 million of their consoles sold?
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves: "Without being too arrogant about it, I don't think we worry too much about building up the hype in the first six months, but where the rubber hits the road is going to be when all those hardcore gamers have bought PS3", said Reeves. "They have also bought Xbox 360 and they have probably bought Nintendo Wii as well."
However, Reeves maintained that shifting PS3s in the early days won't be a problem, such is the strength of the PlayStation brand: "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games."
OT: Since the release of GTA III, when has R* made a clunker with GTA? It hasn't happened. I'd put my good money on playing the version that has been touted, on display numerous times than put my money on the version that's been on double-secret probation since inception. Take your chances if you want, but wisdom tells me if the PS3 is the superior version, then why has R* shown it with less than 2 weeks to go?!
@ DJ Meister J - if you prefer the PS3 version of everything, why do you still have your 360? Why not sell it on eBay or craigslist, hustle a wii bit and buy a PS3? Seriously - you make me want to ship my PS3 because I think you'd get much more use out of that me right now.
