why would you say that you don't think the PS3 would still be selling in 5 year's?
if you do not think so I would not bet on it if anything it may have strong sales for the PS3 mainly because even now the PS3 has not been released everywhere yet.
remember in some part's of the world the PS3 was not even released iuntil 2007 and in some 2008 until recently 2010

no the ps3 will not be selling barely any systems in 5 years and those markets dont' buy software and barely matter at all. That's exactly why they waited so long to bring it there.

it's worth doing, but it's not significant for any reason other than making a few bucks on hardware and hopefully building a brand for the future if piracy can be defeated.

In some wholikeswood's posts in this thread there is, besides being pissed off for Capcom's greed, maybe a very, very mild dig at MS too, why some people jump like crazy and get mad at him? Should people censor themselves whenever a news, or their personal thoughts, contain, directly or indirectly, even the slightest negativity against MS? Has MS been declared endangered species, perchance? Are MS execs so sensitive that if we aren't careful enough they could commit seppuku?

I do not think that's It at all, I think it may have to do with some fan's that may be blowing this way out of proportion both from the side with the xbox360 and from the side of the fan's of the PS3 .
some blame SE
some blame Microsoft
and some blame each other for bringing up the short coming's of the other's side system in hope's on making the other side look bad.
i am pretty much the middle because what the developer may have done with lost planet 2 may infact need the extra disc, Now I am not saying it's true or that I even think it is true. I just do not know for sure an until we see what that extra content is, I am not hoing to pass judgement on capcom about this, until further info get's out.

Bullshit lets get real here Seece. The DVD limitations are holding games back and if it wasn't for Microsoft and there crappy hardware decisions people would be enjoying this content for free. I'm going to get banned for this but I couldn't care less. Your the biggest fanboy I've ever came accross accusing people of having hidden agendas against Microsfoft all the time.
Remember the time you accused me of not buying the GTA4 DLC because it was on the Xbox 360 first. Well yeah you pissed me off so much with your fanboy accusations then that I forgot the following. How the fuck was I taking a stand against the DLC for being on the Microsoft platform first when I've bought many games that ported over to the PS3 on later dates and bought all 5 Fallout 3 DLCs date of release on PS3. I have to say your one person that if I ever bumped into on the street I would kick the living shit out of you. Its people like you that make me hate the Xbox 360. Now go cry and get me banned again like a good little pansy boy. |
joeorc said: an I JUST POINTED that out did you not read what i just posted? look the problem is the CAV drive is not a CLV drive which means that 16MB is optimistic value based on many thing's i just stated, and to be sure why do you think Microsoft section's off a part of the Disc!. that's the point I am driving at the slower transfer speed between the xbox360's DVD drive and the Blu-Ray Drive in the PS3 is moot point. for the simple fact that on Average the Blu-Ray drive in the ps3 will perform just as fast as the xbox360 dvd drive in transfering Data . only in certain area's will there be a slight speed advantage and that is pretty much slim due to the very fact that the DVD drive have to read DL-dvd9's which will already slow their performance because if Microsoft did not section off part of that disc it would effect the speed even further. since the DVD drive in the XBOX360 is a CAV not a CLV drive why do you think the Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 is so expensive vs' the DVD drive in the xbox360 Blu-Ray is one part the other is the fact its a CLV optical drive. and it's also a 8X CLV DVD optical drive to boot. Like I stated this is on Average, but the problem is on Average the xbox360's drive will dip in speed based on where their data is and the closer to the inner part of the disc the slower it is, that does not even take into account the laser having to go through multiple layer's. there is alway's going to be a hit in it's performance. to offset this Microsoft section's off part of the disc. but when have you seen the game's microsoft use that use up the full disc? you do know the 16 MB's benchmark for a CAV dive is calculated for what the DRIVE's performance is with SINGLE LAYER DVD's the same drive reading a DL-DVD's take a big hit in transfer of data it's transfer rate is much lower than 16 MB/sec just look at it Average speed of 11 MB/sec it's Average speed drop's to 8.5x just on Single layer that's is Optimistic rate that may not even be that high. an rember that's just benchmarked for a single layer. there is a reason why the xbox360's optical drive is cheaper than a TruX rated drive this is one of them. to tell you the truth Microsoft would have been better off going with the HD DVD optical drive like the Blu-Ray Drive it was also a CLV optical drive |
who the hell cares about SINGLE LAYER?
why are you talking of HD DVD?
why do I think the blue ray is expensive?
microsoft not using the full disc?
why is the "average speed" so interesting?
so?
What matters is the drive speed in games, and in ps3 it takes 22 minutes for the obligatory INSTALL of the game (5GB) , something that thanks to the dvd drive in xbox360 is not required. BUT if i want to install it all the data (6'5 GB) it is done in 12 minutes.
http://kotaku.com/353612/devil-may-cry-4-ps3-the-mandatory-install-final-time-22-mins
tekken 6 load times with and without installation...
PlayStation 3 Load Times (Not installed):
Time #1 (loading trophies, saved data etc…) 18 – 18.4 seconds
Time #2 (loading characters and preparing to fight) 16 – 18.8 seconds
Xbox 360 Load Times (Not installed):
Time #1 (loading saved data etc…) 0 – 0.3 seconds
Time #2 (loading characters and preparing to fight) 10 – 10.5 seconds
PlayStation 3 Load Times (Installed 4.6 gb):
Time #1 (loading trophies, saved data etc…) 1 – 2 seconds
Time #2 (loading characters and preparing to fight) 11 – 12.2 seconds
Xbox 360 Load TImes (Installed 6.7 gb):
Time #1 (loading saved data etc…) 0 – 0.3 seconds
Time #2 (loading characters and preparing to fight) 10 – 10.5 seconds
And you know, tekken6 is a ps3 game ported to x360.

Look all the games that require an installation and its load times and keep saying that blue ray is better for games.
Maybe it's the fact that Sony was once on top of the mountain in this industry, and the fall from grace has been swift and brutal. The worst thing about being on top is the fall to the bottom, and maybe the transition from PS2 dominance to PS3 heel-dragging has had a damaging effect on the fanboy psyche, leaving them vulnerable and insecure. Maybe fanboys are suffering from a severe case of paranoid delusion, brought about by denial that the PS3 is in third place when once Sony was leading the charge.
