I can't remember what it was exactly.

What I do remember though was that the thread had turned to another usual ps3 bash-fest and I just felt that the niche ps3 support just weren't making any inroads so I had to make some poits.

I've always been a guest for months though.

Thanks...I found it:

"FFXIV is unlikely to come to any console other than the PS3. #60 has more prospects of getting it than the wii though because one of FF's core components are graphics and cinematics ( these are usually the best graphics on the console they appear on at the time) and as a true FF fan who owns and loves every one from vii-xii, I can say that I'll be extremely disappointed in SE if the graphics of XIV are worse than XIII. So maybe a 360 port but definitely not for wii as this would be insulting to hardcore fans that SE dumbed down FF to sell to casual gamers!

As for the person who said that DQ went to handheld, remember that DQ has never  really sold well outside Japan and it was never about graphics. Just check out DQ8 for pS2"

"#60" was a typo for 360. The topic was "Nextbox - Will we get MGSV and FFXIV and GTVI?"

In reponse to: Japanese store stops selling PS3s due to poor sales

Way back in: 05/15/07

"I'm not able to view the picture for whatever reason, but maybe this is just a case of a small store having limited shelf space and would rather fill it with DS / Wii games than the slower moving Sony stuff. If it's not primarily an electronics store, then this wouldn't be terribly surprising (I assume they never carried xbox or dropped it long ago). Still, not what Sony wants to see."

Abroz...that's a crack up!  I don't blame you though..your reasoning appeared fine! 

Dude you could still be an analyst ala Michael Pacher...I'm sure you will make less mistakes than those guys!

PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

April 2007,

"By the end of summer in 2008, I predict the Wii will have sold over 30 million, and the DS 80 million. The PS3 will see a dramatic year-over-year increase, and by 2008 will have started edging out the 360 in weekly regional and global sales. Also, in a n attempt to hit upon the semi-casual crowd, the PS3 will get a game focusing on some kind of custom platformer, starring an adorable character, made perhaps of wool or yarn. The 360 will steal a giant exclusive from Sony, either MGS4 or FFvXII, around E3 2008".

My posts have been downhill ever since.

 

Wow, one of the best predictions ever. Can i get the link?

Why I don't think the bubble will burst.



1. 8 million installed users in less than 8 months.

2. Cheap to develop for.

3. Continued domination of Japan, PS3 is too expensive, too big to sell like the ps2 did and 360 won't sell unless something majorly unexpected happens (i.e. 200 yen for premium model, final fantasy, DQ, etc.)

4. DS connection, not just connectivity but the psychological connection. Synergy is key. Products complement each other, so do the games and vibe. And we all know, the DS prints money. PS3 associates itself with PSP well, and 360 with Windows but both face a negative stigma with those products.

5.If 360 drops in price and starts to threaten Wii dominance, Nintendo is in a better position (because they actually profit) to drop the price or include a different game to increase sales.

6. $20 and $50 games. I know that they are planning on charging $49.99 for touch generations style games (Big Brain already is). But in their "Worst case scenario" they could quickly and easily expand the library with $20 t.g. games if needed. They can also repackage GCN games at $20, they might even quick port them for wii, and toss em in with a classic controller like Wii Play was included with the Wiimote. Suddenly at Christmas, Mom can buy a 360 with 30 games available for $29.99 or a Wii with 100+ games available for $19.99. Don't under estimate budget titles, these are what killed the N64 and brought dominance for PS1 and 2.

7.Impulse purchase for families is not $249, it's $199. This snowball at $199 also goes hand in hand with budget titles and cheaper used peripherals. (GC was $199 but nintendo was very slow to lower games to $19.99, Mario Kart Double Dash was $49 for two years.)

8. Harcore gamers are trend setters, this is how we got into this quirky/non-game thing in the first place. Hardcore dropped Street Fighter 2 and went to Golden Eye then Parappa the Rappa, while the Casual went from Mortal Kombat to Halo to Guitar Hero. The true hardcore are always itching for some new way to play.

Edit: God, I'm good.

Edit 2: And predictable.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
