basically its a sound comparison, the ps3 is struggling, some say, in its first 2 years. and devs are just now getting the hang of it and a price cut is just around the corner (and heck maybe slim model around the corner after you round the first corner to the price cut)

those who say insert wii in said place doesnt make since. the wii hasnt struggled one bit. he wants to know if the ps3 can make a turn around like the ds did
The problem with this theory is that the DS didn't have another hand held that got pretty much the same games as the PS3 has with the 360. Plus a lot of the success of the DS comes from it's innovative touch screen. The same with the Wii. There's really no innovation with the PS3.

it could possibly happen. i believe this is the peak year of the 360 and maybe the Wii. but the playstation company has that 10 cycle so who knows. i believe 2009 or 2010 is the peak year the PS3.

 

 

More of the 10 year cycle hype. Like I always respond to it, the 360 and Wii will be viable as long as the PS3 is. So if it truly has a ten year cycle then so does it's competition. And certainly does the 360 since they are pretty much equal in specs.

There is a chance.

The DS didn't really ever struggle. Sales weren't HUGE at the start - then "new" games were released. Once Nintendogs, Mario Kart & NSMB were out - the pattern was set. That was well into the first year on the market.

The DS is the anti-PS3. Its the complete opposite, in every conceivable way. Including sales...

Not so. There is an onyx black DS.

The ps3 is atleast as innovative as the wii, probably more.

 

The amount of ps3 hate in this topic is at a level where it's almost unbelievable.

 

I've said it before, (having actually read the op unlike half the people who posted in the thread) the ps3 will have a huge rise in sales once it reaches mass market. I also still believe it'll pass the 360 once that happens (aslong as it's within a reasonable amount of time)

The tripple has yet to reach it's peak.

Staude, get real. Don't be blinded by Sony.
The PS3 is not the PS2.

Things change in this world.

Although the rise won't be as large, do you think the PS3 will see a surge in support and eventually gain strong(er) sales?

 

Maybe once more devs figure out how to use it, it'll get a change in perspective; gaining benefits unseen for the PS3 in the past 2 years.

Where you kidding when you wrote this or where you drunk or high?
