Forums - Microsoft - How many 360 guys are getting a PS3?

I will be interested in a PS3 when they come out with a slim-line, $199 model that doesn't produce much heat... assuming I haven't already purchased a reduced-cost Blu-ray player by that time. I would love to have a PS3 with the above characteristics to slide right in where my current DVD player resides.

 I have a 60Gb and a 40Gb and I can tell you the 40Gb produces almost no heat at all. It's amazingly cool even after 8-10 hours weekend gaming sessions. 

The same cannot be told from my 60Gb though... it heats up pretty fast and the fans annoy the shit out of me.

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

Right now I have a Wii and am getting a 360 soon. I'll grab a PS3 some time next year (likely holiday season 2009) to play FF XIII. The 360 (and my PS2 for that matter) has enough JRPGs to keep my JRPG cravings satisfied until I can afford a PS3.

Edit: I'm guessing that I'll be pickin gup FF XIII, Versus XIII (if it's out), and MGS 4 whenever I get my PS3. It's not worth getting for me until all three are out or nearly out.

Sounds promising.  If they can get the cost and the form factor down to where I can talk the wife into it and have cabinet space for it (DVD-player profile), then I just might have to add a PS3 to my Wii and 360.

I started out with a 360 and then bought a ps3 when it launched.

I'm the type that has to have EVERY console available even if there is just a few games on it that interest me. (Like my Wii--I only have one game for it because there is nothing out I want right now, but I know it will have some good RPG's in the future so I bought one).  Entertainment has no price cap for me.

Final Fantasy XIII was the major game to make my decision...but many others are looking great too like Little Big Planet, White Knight Chronicles, Steambot Chronicles 2, and MGS4.

Most likely not.

Isn't this the second time you've made this thread?

 

Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe in 4 years.
