Actually, a Blu-Ray disc can hold 50 GBs compared to HD DVD's 30 GBs. I keep forgetting that the games, not just movies, are also being released on Blu-Ray discs. Therefore, as long as the games look nicer on the end, because of Blu-Ray, then maybe the expensive machine might be worth it after all.

Xbox 360 being American has absolutely nothing to do with its games. There are a few Japanese games for the system. And there are American games for the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii. You can't be stereo typical like that. You can't judge good games based on what country they originated from. People can't limit themselves to games of their origin. What is the point of living in such a big world when people limit themselves to their own country. And besides that, 380,000 Japanese people own the system. It might be less than the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, but when you look at that number, that is still one hell of a big number. Go buy an Xbox 360. You will like it. All video game consoles are good. However, the console itself means absolutely nothing. Try playing a Nintendo Wii with no games. Try playing a Playstation 3 with no games. Try playing an Xbox 360 with no games. Go fiddle around with the menus and such. Not worth it, is it? Consoles mean nothing. They only play the games you like. The only important things are the games themselves. 

 Kind of sad how the Playstation 3 is devoted mainly to its graphics, yet some of the games that came out for the Xbox 360, and Playstation 3, were in fact nicer on the Xbox 360, an inferior console, that does not focus mainly on graphics.

 If you focus on world-wide sales figures, you will see a big difference.

Playstation 3 is the most powerful video game console in the entire world. And that is why it isn't doing as good. Sony looked too far outside of the video games themselves, and got side-tracked.

Playstation 3 was supposed to beat the Playstation 2, which would have been expected to end up with 120-130 million consoles. But at its current rate of 3 million in half a year, it may end up with only 40 million consoles, if it surives the generation. Otherwise, it might just drop out at about 10 million. Even the Sega Saturn was doing better at certain points than the Playstation 3.

Well, it could always have been worse. It could have been an Atari Jaguar, or 3DO, or Amiga CD, or Sega CD, or Phillips CDi.

Playstation 3 GPU = 550

Xbox 360 GPU = 500

Nintendo Wii GPU = 243

Xbox GPU = 233

Nintendo Gamecube GPU = 167

Playstation 2 GPU = 143

Dreamcast GPU = 128

Playstation 3 is clearly more superior to the Xbox 360 in terms of GPU. It is just over 4 times as much as the Sega Dreamcast, Just under 3 times as much as the Playstation 2. Just under 3 times as much as the Nintendo Gamecube. Just over twice as much as the Xbox. Just over twice as much as the Nintendo Wii. Just over one time as much as the Xbox 360. Not 32 times more than the PS2. Not twice as much as the Xbox 360. Not 4 times as much as the Wii. It is the most powerful, but it is often times over exaggerated.

I see it this way: no matter how you slice it, the PS3 hasn't had a very successful launch in the US or Japan. In Europe things have gone alright so far to say the least, but definetly not something to write home about. Sony definetly knows these things and, while yes it may look bad for them now, Sony still has a of of hype surrounding titles such as Lair, which will definetly help Sony out for a while but probably won't give it the type of success and hype it needs in order to help out the system in the long run. Now of course we have HOME, Little Big Planet, MGS4, and many other multi platform titles to come out later on during the course of the year and into 08. And if you look at the Japanese Most Wanted List, you'll see a list with primarily PS3 games (also DS but thats different). In the end though, will the huge games such as Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy, MGS4, and GTA4 come to late for the system? Will the 360 and Wii userbase be to high that gamers won't buy games on the PS3 anymore? Who knows, I didn't expect the Wii to outsell it by this much and I am not going to even try to predict the rest of 07. The only thing we know for sure that will greatly help sales of the system is a price drop, and i don't think Sony can afford something like that right now.

 When I saw videos of God of War 2, I thought that the game was a Playstation 3 game. About that, why did they release the game on a dieing console? Sony keeps releasing games on the Playstation 2, and not on the Playstation 3. Not only that, but almsot all of Sony's exclusives are going to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Sony needs games, yet Sony themselves seem to be ignoring the console, by releasing more games on the Playstation 2. Then again, most consoles do survive for about a year or so after the next generation hits, but still, Playstation 3 is lacking games.

And one more big slap in the face for the Playstation 3. Does anyone know about that new Crash Bandicoot game callled "Crash of the Titans?" Of course most of you don't. I don't. Crash went bad after the Naughty Dog games. Crash 1, 2, and 3 are one of the best selling games out there, yet this new Crash game, is almost invisible, and doesn't look like a good game at all.

Anyways, the game is being released on the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Playstation Portable. Oh, it seems that I missed a console. Then again, if I mentioned that the game was going to be out for the Playstation 3, I would be lieing. Crash Bandicoot grew up on the Playstation, yet he hits the Xbox 360 and Wii, and not the Playstation 3. Sony's mascot doesn't even set foot on the Playstation 3. If that isn't an insult, then I don't know what is. In fact, that's more than one insult right there. I'll list all of the insults right now:

1. Crash, Sony's mascot, grew up on the Playstation, and poked his nose in other consoles such as the Wii and Xbox 360. He grows up on the Playstation, yet does not debut on the Playstation 3, but instead on other consoles.

2. Crash is going to the Playstation 2, a console that should have died, and not the Playstation 3. I mean, they could have planned to release it for both. I mean, the game is coming to the Gameboy Advance, a portabel that was replaced by the Nintendo DS, yet no Playstation 3?

3. The game looks awful. How could Sony's mascot sink so deep?

4. Radical Entertainment must be the 5th devoloper to make Crash Bandicoot. It seems that nobody want to keep him.

Well, enough about Crash. He had his fame, like Sonic, and he has died, like Sonic. Mario is the only one that kept it true all of these years.

Anyways, God of War looked amazing. I found it hard to believe that it was a Playstation 2 game. The console itself existed while Sega was still in the game. Amazing... Even the Playstation 2 is beating the Playstation 3, just like everybody else. Apparently, the Super Nintendo was selling more on Amazon than the Playstation 3 at one, or a few times.

wow, couldn't you condense everything into one post so it would be readable?

You do realize there are like 45 million more PS2s than PS3s in the USA? If it weren't for the PS2, Sony would be losing $ billions more than they already are. The PS2 is far from dead as a money maker.
