Not another one of these threads,we all know that the PS3 is going to blow the 360 away when they unlock the full power of the PS3 /Sarcasm...

It seems like every 5 seconds threads like these are made to ensure PS3 fans that they didnt chose the wrong console and theres will win,but news no one cares except them..

No offense to topic creator..

 

Then why would these developers and publishers lie to gamers? Or maybe when someone in the industry who supports both platforms has something positive to say about the PS3 and negative about the 360, your insecurity bleeds through. Here, have a band-aid. In fact, "Xbox 360" is printed on it. Don't you feel proud?

:D

So they can make a profit,If they hail the PS3 as the best console this gen then they get wild fanboys to believe them and spend more money on that system,we know that PS3 will catch up to 360 eventually,we do NOT Need countless threads telling us this.

 

@ CGI-Quality You are one of the few people that are happy with your product,i wish to get a PS3 soon and i dont need Sony or any article to tell me how good it is,We both know how good it is.

 

 

What????????????????? Do you really believe what you are saying??? If something isn't profitable for me, I'd stop investing in it. Heep hyping yourself up, bub. And this isn't a SONY article, this is more specificly an Activision/Blizzard prediction of a SONY console article. That's all it is a prediction, and no one is making you think how good the PS3 is. But apparently you're pretty irrate over this positive PS3 prediction for no substanance reasons which proves my original point. Good luck with ya.

:)

God i wish i could find that picture of *The Point* going right over your head,cause you totally ignored what i said,i said They LIED to us to get US HYPED UP about IT,Therefore WE BUY GAMES,Cause we THINK its BETTER than what the other system HAS,its a MARKETING TOOL....

 

And once people start to find out its not what its hyped up to be they start doubting and these threads are made.

Maybe lied isnt such a good word to use...

 

It doesn't matter because just because you said it doesn't mean it's true. I "ignored" it because I didn't see it as you did. We all can look at this situation in a number of ways, and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. But the most conventional wisdom is for Activision/Blizzard to not lie or intentially mislead anyone especially since this report was in reagrds to their third quarter earnings which needs to appeal to the stockholders first. You don't say one thing to the stockholders, and then say something different to the rest of the public. So I highly doubt this was a marketing tactic to please PS3 fans, maybe partially but nowhere near its primary reason.

Let me put it another way...

Sony says to the stock holders "The PS3 is the predecessor to the PS2,Its gonig to sell like the PS2 did" and few stock holders are gamers so they just look at the sales..

 

Sony talks on E3"The PS3 is 100x more powerful than the PS2 and this and that" but they ignore comparing it to the xbox 360,Therefore they dont compare it to the 360 so Fanboys just ASSUME its better than the 360.

 

SonyFanboys Come running the web about how much better than PS3 is than the 360


Sony fans buy Games and Blue Ray movies for the PS3,note i said Fans not Fanboys,as even casual gamers get caught up in this hype,This is the same thing Sony did last gen wtih the PS2,hyping it up to be the most powerful console when Xbox and GC were superiour.

 

Im not saying the 360 is better than the PS3 im just saying that its marketing the PS3 as a super machine which only the processor is and never will be able to achieve that full power.

 

Btw i think the PS3 is a better deal than the 360.

I guess some people handle the PS3 in third place.

As long as 360 is #2 and sells more software globally every week, this news means nothing.



2008 360 prediction: 26 million (thus surpassing XBOX lifetime sales in one year less time).

As long as there are 360 bashers, I will be there to do something about it.

Either way the PS3 has Huge momentum going for it, The best new IP of 08 LBP, Blu ray's victory and advantages, Home for FREE, GT5, FF EXCLUSIVE IN JAPAN, the list goes on and on, no doubt the PS3 is about to explode, these first 2 years were like a warm up.

No no, sorry to walk on your parade but this is the vision of a very enthusiastic fanboy again.

I'm not agains't the PS3, but SONY lost his supremacy for this generation, and even if they catch up (they will eventually thanks to the Blue-Ray), their business model is dead and ruinous.

PS3 is an ok machine, technically speaking, but costly to produce, long to develop and handicaped with a lack of software architecture scalability.

The opposition is miles away with futur-proof approach and revenue models.

Nintendo has a cheap console that sells extemely well and generated massive revenues with low production cost ... but they lack of a furture-proof online approach...But the inovation went so far, that it shoudln't be a problem for them.

Microsoft is better positonned with scalable software approach and has the strongest online offer and community. This is a fact, you can't beat Microsoft in software development... but the XBOX is a standard machine that may lack of catching appeal in hardware sales.

 

Anyhow, Nintendo generats massive cash with the WII while MS is doing pretty good with the XBOXLIVE. So wherever they end, they already won their bet for this generation and are money-ok for the future.

 

Sony on the other hand is severly affected, on the budget side and online side.. and are again saved by the format war...

I can hardly believe that the PS3 is a commercial/industrial/market success.. even when the install base will catch the 360 one. It will still generate less revenues... and less values for the company and the customers ...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
