I agree with this.  Both Uncharted and Warhawk are getting a lot of extra time because of the trophies. 

I think you're failing to realize just how important things like achievements and trophies can be.

For many people useless things like achievements and trophies are the deciding factors in games.  When I look at Fallout 3 for the PS3 and 360 they are going to be (or at least expected to be) nearly identical.  The only real difference on day one is one game has achievements and the other doesn't have trophies.  That little bonus is just nice for some people.

Also, things like achievements push people to play the game more.  If I can see a list of achievements or trophies I know I have something to work for.  I see if I finish the game with good karma I get something but if I finish with neutral or bad karma I get more stuff!  That drives me to play the game more.

Finally, games with easy achievements drive sales.  Do you know how many people played things like King Kong, Fight Night 3, and Avatar just because it was so easy to get points?  There are articles after articles with lists of games that are easy to get 500+ points in and people rent and buy those games just to get the points.  There have even been arcade games I've bought just because I know I can get some quick points on them.

You're really underestimating the importantance of achievements and trophies.

Fair enough. I see myself as a perfectionist, and I guess that would lend itself to the "Collector" category. I LOVE achievements, but that doesn't decide anything for me. Hell, I could buy cheap, crappy games like The Simpsons Game with incredibly easy achievements to boost my score if I wanted to. Or I could buy dozens of old, budget priced 360 games selling for 20 bucks just to boost my score, regardless of how difficult it is to get the achievements. For me, it comes down to which controller I prefer to play with, and call me crazy, but I actually prefer the Dualshock family.

Although I think you're right in your other post that people do buy games for achievements. Seems like a complete waste of money, but I won't judge.

true enough but still its a bonus, most of the people will finish it and let it rest.

its not like ps3 doesn't support them but implementing would be delay to the game.

an as its its good enough, i won't buy fallout so seriously i could care less about it getting trophies or not.

Does any game support them?

I didn't like Oblivion enough to get this game either so I guess I'm not missing anything. It's a pity that the PS3 version doesn't have Trophies, especially considering how easy it would probably have been, but it's still not my problem. It's just one reason less to support Bethesda.

Come on now Mr. James, you didn't even parody the commercial right.

Hmmm. That reminds me of that time you decided to finally get a PSP when the 3000 model was released, but decided to axe that idea once the reports of reduced battery life surfaced. Are you going to change your mind now that the battery life is no longer reduced?
