Forums - Sales Discussion - Sony - PS3 will be around for ten years

Again PS3 fanboys comparing apples to oranges trying to justify their overpriced R&D nightmare. They can't make an argument for it comparing it to the 360 and Wii so now they're trying to make it look good against things that aren't even its intended competition, PCs, which from the arguments sound just as good. I'd also put five bucks down that a PC would easily outlast a PS3 in lifetime anyday, which isn't saying much in regards to a Sony product. First it was "ALL THE EXCLUSIVES THE PS3 WAS GOING TO HAVE!" and now as exclusive by exclusive dissapears they're left to squabling over what few games the PS3 has left.

MGS4 - Konami says will be on 360 as well.

FFXIII - Which will be spread out over all the major platforms including cellphones, and right now the most critically acclaimed installment is one of the cellphone games, not the PS3 games. And there's alot of time between now and FFXIII's release for Square to decide maybe it doesn't want PS3 exclusives in its harem.

Maybe Sony really does indeed plan on the PS3 being their main console platform for 10 years, afterall it's likely that it'll be at least several years before it even begins to have a chance of being profitable (they're losing close to $250 for each system sold1, that would require a lot of games to be bought in order for Sony to make that money back (licensing fees are roughly between $3-$10 per unit)2.  And all of this doesn't take into account the billions of dollars Sony spent on the development of the PS3.

While I commend you for your provided sources, I don't think anyone (except maybe Sammygee) would be willing to debate the fact with you that Sony's in deep shit in the first place lol. (lol, IGN, Sony owned, lol)

Ummm... You do realize that article was about April's Fool's Day, right? "On the other end of the cute spectrum, a confirmation of Metal Gear Solid 4 on the Xbox 360. We still can't tell if this was intended as a joke, but VG Resource Center says they have confirmation of MGS4 on the Xbox 360. VGRC claims they have an email from Konami stating, "Yes, in fact, we are working on putting Metal Gear Solid 4 on the Xbox 360 and PC, which should both come out roughly 6 months after the PS3 release. However, we've been working with Microsoft so the 360 and PC versions will both take advantage of Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live, with such features as achievements and the ability for 360 and PC owners to play against each other in multiplayer. I'd love to give you some more details, but this is already pushing it. We are making the big announcement July 11th at this year's E3, so you'll just have to wait until then. Sorry!""

The writers of the article are sceptical that it is true, and the article even says that these are claims from VGRC not Konami so it is not a true confirmation.

Hey don't come crying to me when MGS4 shows up on the 360 too. You kids will deny it until you see it on store shelves. I should have another link by tommorrow.

I own a 360 so I won't be crying.

You said that Konami has announced a 360 release and that is untrue. It's that simple.

It has yet to be confirmed by Konami but im pretty sure that Gballzack is right. Its a matter of time till when they announce it on the 360. I remember in an interview someone asked them if it was coming and they said they had no comment which usually means it is they just dont wanna say it is.
