i think the point is,
the thing was said a long time ago and misquoted, and everyone is all upset here about a word that he probably didn't even mean to say.
Potential.
most business people think macro not micro, so its easy to catch them in definitions and speeches(since they don't really prepare them, they just shoot from the hip.) ((unless it is to investors))!
I think what he meant to say in one word or less was:



*****"Lots of good games are coming to the ps3. Game design gets really strong on a console 4-5 years into the life. we have a terrific lineup and some great ideas as well as blu-ray and a free psn. When you buy now, you ensure that more game developers will take interest and increase what we were going to have, and increase it to an amazing experience. That increase is a potential that we need you dedicated fans to help out with in lieu of our past reliability. together, the dream becomes reality. RUE?

cuz that's what i heard, and what a lot of people heard in that one word. It's all the people who don't see eye to eye with the ten year ps2 that don't get it. out of context, it's always easy to demonize something.

I'm still waiting to find out how good it is on the PS3 side, and I have one.  Maybe around the time GT5 comes out I'll finally be at least happy that I own it.  If my PS3 tried to put on a 360 faceplate and have sex with me I think it would make for a different end to that movie.

I give that post a 9.6.

SC4:
 360: 85% overall
 PS3: 86% overall

So which version is rated better again?

DMC4:
 360: 84% overall
 PS3: 84% overall

Seems nothing is different.

Games with the PS3 as lead platform:

Burnout Paradise

Devil May Cry 4

Soul Calibur 4

Games which most likely has the PS3 as lead platform:

Madden 09

Games which were developed to run on a specific console:

Grand Theft Auto 4

What if the so-called 'potential' turns out not so much promising? (Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, 4-D graphics?).

dude you are only making predictions on console sales today for the end of the year (in your sig). how can you possibly foresee anything?

EDIT: not only that but you only added 7 million to each of the current totals...?

So you don't actually disagree then.  Anyway, I'm curious what you think about gameranking averages, I mean SC4 for example scores lower on the 360 purely due to different media outlets not reviwing both versions. Doesn't actually demonstrate which version is superior. The two numbers don't really even share a relationship in any way.

Also, was the PS3 the lead platform for SC4 for certain, just out of curiosity?

Thanx, is me asking this question here considered "trolling". If so sorry for that, won't happen again just curious about the above, ta.

Oh this brings me back to when the PS3 launched, all the talk about Potential being the reason to buy a PS3, lol. So Sony P.R. has finally become cyclical.

sc4 is better on ps3 because vader>yoda.

this has to be the dumbest thing ever said.....yes buy our system now at a higher price point for the potential to play games at have a great time at a later date, don't buy it later when it will be cheaper and still provide you the same experience....brilliant!!!

you only read the op and nothing else don't you.
