A ps3 for a 360 arcade? bad deal colonel. now I have to delete you off my psn friends list...sobs...

"Im not saying the 360 lineup is better, at all. Im saying the big PS3 games coming out hold no interest for me."

"I understand your point, but as i said earlier, im a poor student living on a student loan with no job. I could never have afforded both consoles."

I'd take that as a no. Besides he can't take in all the 360's goodness in just 4 months!!

@Seece

hey lego-jay, why are you re-visiting this thread?

Maybe you didn't already read the above quote?

I think the question of disloyalty does not apply to those who have chosen not to have, or to keep, a PS3 but should be applied to Sony. Sony in their arrogance took the loyal legions of PS2 fans for granted and instead of building a capable, fun and reasonably priced console, chose instead to build a console that cost such an absurd amount to build that they couldn’t even consider selling it except at a huge loss and still they were twice the price they should have been.

In fact they were apparently not as interested in building the next generation Playstation as in promoting a media format for which there was, and for that matter still is, little enthusiasm. They were trying to sell us a gaming console at a ridiculous price by claiming it was the cheapest (through heavy subsidy) blu-ray player. This at the time when there was only a handful of movies to play on it. Now two years later blu-ray movies are still one small rack at Blockbuster that you could easily overlook and predictably, blu-ray players are now under $200 just when having one could be considered worthwhile.

My new notebook computer came with a blu-ray drive and HDMI out and it wasn’t even considered a major selling point. I had the computer almost three weeks before I even realized I had it. And frankly I still don’t particularly care.
They covered up a total lack of real innovation by building an immensely powerful processor that drove the cost of game development far higher than any real improvement in performance over its cheaper mainline design competition.

The purpose of a game console is to give good performance in a simple to maintain and reasonably priced package. Building one that cost as much as a PC in a vain effort to be on the absolute bleeding edge is an exercise in futility because the modular PC design will always catch up and pass the consoles before they are even well into their long cycle.

So who exactly was the PS3 built for? Apparently for those loyal customers that just assumed that Sony would remain true to its gaming heritage and ascend to the throne that was its birthright. But many of these fans balked at the ridiculous price and opted for either the less expensive Xbox which produced an equivalent quality image. Or for the (then) even less expensive Wii which have used innovation instead of horsepower to produce a console that in terms of fun and playability was more in the spirit of the PS2 than the overblown PS3.

I’m like many who came into the current round assuming I would be buying the next Playstation until I realized what an over-engineered, overpriced, not that much fun to play, monstrosity Sony had produced.

So my question is, are those of us who have opted out of the Playstation family disloyal or was Sony disloyal to us by giving us what they wanted to build rather than what we wanted to buy.

Yea sony was rediculously cocky when the ps3 came out. 4d graphics , get a 2nd job to get the system. But sony came back to reality real fast with the wii killing it in sales and the 360 which will increase its lead over the ps3 substancially by the end of the year. Sony is regretting how much they messed up with their system with it still selling at A LOSS this late in its lifespan with no sign of making a profit anytime soon.

The only good thing for sony is that now they know they cannot be cocky and sell a system at $600 and make rediculous claims about their system

I couldnt have put it better myself. Thank you Seece

Hopefully!
