I would love to buy games , if my parents would buy me a ps3

Don 't know your age, but a job will get you the mulah to buy this sweet beast.

Which is a steal considering at the beginning of the generation, Crazy Ken said that people should go out and get 2 jobs to get one! XD

ah yes, the PR JOKE that the moron industry took seriously....... poor Ken, 

And a great joke it was. Its even more funny considerinig how poor it sold at at the original price.

and so now you know, the reason the ps3 didn't sell so much at launch....... Sony didn't f**king make enough XD,

lol crazy ken wasn't so crazy after all...... here's to him, hope he has a hand in ps4 development, man was a true genius

Wow 2 examples and one is a late port that came out at full price.

Shooters sell more on 360 dude, I could easily make the same thread on the PS3 side and use FIFA and some racing games as examples.

Wasn't DaO developed with PS3 as main console version, and X360 as a port?

No BioWare originally made the PC vesion first and then ported the PC version to both X360 and PS3 but they didn't quite reach the same level of port on the PS3 as they did on X360. But that's because it's their first time making a full PS3 game and that'll change once Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age II releases.

Granted, hardcore Sony fans cared. But did the masses? Nope.

I don't know if Ken is solely responsible for making the PS3 a blackhole of money. But lets hope he learned his lesson.

ummm "teh masses"???, how can we know if every single ps3 shipped at lauch for 599.99 sold out only moments after hitting store shelves, not fair if you ask me, and please tell me how in the hell 599 is a mass market price, Sony knew exactly what they were doing, from the start it's just only now most of the industry (the same people who predicted TEH DOOMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) are starting to see it.

just to Sony in the entertainment industry entertainment comes first, hard to believe seeing how much Sony demolished during the ps1 and ps2 era but then I present you with the very reason Sony is here, which isn't to make a quick buck, they did it as revenge to get back at the back stabbing Nintendo. Product first profit later, is what Sony is thinking, just people looked at the financials and though the "later" would never get here, just like with the games, all in due time...... and did Sony just post a profit this last quarter.....

learned their lesson *facepalm* what lesson, that people are retarded and rarely listen, so if they don't sell 12 billion units at lauch and have a 10 year library of AAA games AT LAUNCH and don't make billions of profit people will think they are failures and need to "learn a lesson" yeah I think they learned that lesson, 

oh ye arrogant Sony who lauch a console for almost 300 dollars LESS than what it's worth and then have the nerve to sell every single unit.....

So from the start... Sony knew they were gonna piss away billions and it would be the poorest selling console this gen?

You brag about them selling out the consoles at $600. But why have there been so many price cuts if sales were so amazing at the high prices? Perhaps sales dried up? Maybe they were forced to cut the price to compete and are still at the bottom?

Great job Sony. Nintendo can learn a lot from them. This isn't a business or anything.

just like every console did this gen?  You know why game systems sell out so quickly when they launch?  It isn't because people are buying them to play them, they are buying them up to put on ebay to make a quick buck.  So when it comes christmas time and all those systems are sold out in stores, the desperate parents pay way more than they are worth.  That is the secret to the long lines of all three console launches.  

In fact, at my best buy there was a guy who paid 15 other people to wait in line with him, because it was a limit of one per customer.  You think he wanted 15 ps3's for himself?

You cite two games that are very popular in the American Market where the 360 has almost double the user base of the ps3, plus bioshock is a late port.   I think the ps3 does very well in selling games, why don't you look at multi plat games like final fantasy XIII or devil may cry?  






That what piracy does to sales...
