The only reason the console costs so much is because Sony made a command decision to push Blu-Ray at the cost and expense of gamers.

I'm sure they're happy with their decision. It helped to introduce Blu-Ray.


Well, I'm not sure they're happy. It sank the games division into unprofitability and devalued the Playstation brand by helping put it in third place in the console war. Perhaps a part of Sony is happy about it, but not all of Sony is.

 

I'm sure they're happy. They don't "care" about "how" they make money. They would sink that whole division to make BR the next DVD. It would be better for them in the long run, so that's what they took a chance at. Push BR at the expense of Playstation.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Do you think people are buying HD televisions because they don’t care? Of course not. They want HDtv.


Or maybe they want a flat and nice looking TV. Jumping to conclusions = bad. By the way, the majority of TV owners still don't own a HDTV.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Resistance 2 are all MUST HAVE TITLES.


No they are not. There's no such thing as a must-have title in the first place, and Heavenly Sword is certainly not one of them.

 

Surely you know that the term "must-have" title gets tossed around a lot for any system. You're right that there's no must-have title simply because everyone is different. If anything, it seems to me that the guy is just tired of hearing that "ps3 has no games" BS that some people still throw around.

As for TVs, how many SDTVs are flat and nice again? Whatever the reason people are buying them, they're buying the HDTVs regardless. Seems to me that you're looking for any chance to derail this article.

In any case, Heavenly Sword is not a must-have. It's not even one of the highest selling PS3 titles despite having been bundled in some countries.

How many SDTVs are flat and nice? Not many, considering most SDTVs are CRTs.

How is Resistance 2 a must have title? It's not anywhere close to Gears 2.

Another stupid thing about the article is when he said this:

 

Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Resistance 2 are all MUST HAVE TITLES.

 

If this guys track record proves he isn't a fanboy, then his Sony fanboy son must've got ahold of his blog password.

Sigh. A wall of text written by an unknown blogger who obviously is a Sony fanboy.

 

Bingo. That article made my head hurt, and I wish I wouldn't have read it.

You know why all the PS3 hate?

Because the freakin' thing costs 400 dollars in a recession and we can't all afford one.

It's over-priced, I dont' care if it sucks your foot and fixes you a sandwich.

The reason it's overpriced, is because Sony used it as a tie in to hock its new media format, and continues forcing gamers to pay the price.

Sony deserves the hate, and imo, they deserve the poor sales as well. Start treating consumers well, and change with our needs, not your own, Sony. If you do something dumb that costs us time and money(RRoD, BR) then fix it for free. Don't just keep on pwning us with it, ffs.

The fact that this console is still 460 dollars after tax is insane, and someone deserves to pay for this horrible error.

You know something Zen, price isn't everything. Why are people buying the iphone again? Iphone costs more than a ps3. I personally can't understand why as the only thing I'll ever use an iphone for is to call people.

It's easy to ask for a lower price point on the ps3 but you people forget that the components of the machine itself are more expensive than either the 360 or wii so it just can't be sold for the same price.

Surely consumers don't want what the ps3 offers for it's price or don't care for the extras. This is a mistake sony has made. Whats done is done, no use beating a dead horse. Dropping the price is not the solution to this as that defeats the purpose of running a business. The solution is to offer the best to those who have/will take the plunge because they like the system offers and plan well for next time.

Price cuts from a company in crisis?

For the record, the poster of the article isn't a sony fanboy. He's track record shows this

 

 

 

I completely disagree. It sounds like your trying to reason your way out of Sony taking any blame or being at fault for anything here. Price isn't everything, but when your console costs 400 dollars, it's the only thing that matters to most people.

For me, for instance, I'm getting FFXIII, Tekken, and Star Ocean on my Xbox 360, why in the hell would I buy a PS3, for 400 dollars, to play White Knight Story?

Really man, when you do get a job, money really starts to seem a lot more valuable to you.

The only reason the console costs so much is because Sony made a command decision to push Blu-Ray at the cost and expense of gamers.

I'm sure they're happy with their decision. It helped to introduce Blu-Ray.

Screwed the hell out of most of us gamers though. Still is.

 

I wouldn't go there. I bought 99% of my current possessions by myself. I even pay my own school fees (mostly through loans) so if you think I'm mom and pops favorite, think again.

I bought the 60gb ps3 at $500 because I liked what it offered for it's price. Same reason for those who bought the iPhone when it launched like a friend of mine. Different people, different tastes. I'll buy a $1200 laptop because I want what it has to offer. People don't look at price first, they decide if they wan't what is being offered first before deciding if the price is worth it for them

Like I said, sony paid the price for this and continues to do so because the vast majority do not want the extras or want to pay for what they're getting. Blu-ray may seem like a negative but it's a positive for some.

As for screwing gamers over, it looks to me that gamers bought the 360 and wii instead and those that do buy ps3s, buy it for less than it costs so the only people they screwed over is themselves.
