The PC has been kinda dead this year but still has the biggest userbase,i wonder if we tracked the amount of PC's what the userbase would be i dont think the Wii would even be able to beat it.

@Dodece:
No Sony has barely announced titles for next year and at the ones they have announced are in Q1 or Q208 like Killzone2,GT5,LBP and MGS4 which is 3rd party.Sony has alot of games that arent even properly announced yet like EightDays,InFamous,Resistence2,Motorstorm2,WipeoutPS3,L.A Noire(R*),New I.P from R*,FFXIII(S-E),Empire(not heard ANYTHING on this just from the list on Wikipedia which is taken with a grain of salt),HeavyRain,Timesplitters4 do i have to continue and this year well we have Warhawk,HeavenlySword,R&C:ToD,LAIR,Uncharted:DrakesFortune,WhiteKnightStory(JPN07 NA and EU08),Folklore.

Did i miss any out?

Please for the sake of fire protection turn your fanatic controls down to a tolerable level. Yes I understand you love, worship, and probably sleep with your PS3. You probably can find no fault with it, and to you other consoles come some quasi hellish state. That said your bias is pretty obvious, and thus most posters probably take you less then seriously. You owe it to yourself to realize how you are coming off.

Everyone has an opinion. The ones you listen to have an opinion based or relevant and pertinent facts. You need to step back think about what your saying, and be even handed. You need to have some solid facts. Propaganda cannot just spill out of your mouth. Your on a site that is not console specific, and more importantly is about analysis. That means critical thinking is important. You should be critical of even your preferred console. Now if you cannot do that how can anyone take you seriously.

I watched the E3 show this year. Each one of the press conferences. The preceding coverage, and the follow up coverage. Out of the three Microsoft made the better case to developers, investors, and customers. Microsoft drilled a solid point home. Better games this year. Anyone watching at home would have said to themselves Microsoft is going to have a lot of good games this year. Nintendo focused on hardware, gimmicks, and one noteworthy title Mariokart Wii. Sony decided to show off Killzone 2. Now as a gamer what matters most to me is having good games to play. Not the middle of next year, but good games to play now.

Microsoft simply put had a better sales pitch. That is why so much hype surrounded their event. They were up front right there selling me a lot of stuff. They showed me a dozen great games I would probably like to play, and those games were coming soon. Not nine months later.

The GDC was very big for Nintendo during the conference they saw many games announced. Thats what I looked at the conference to find out and that is what I found out. The Wii was going to see many more games. Up until that point it was very much a case of what now when it came to the Wii. So it was very much a coming out party for Nintendo. Perhaps the blackballing by Sony of Kotaku hurt my perception, but that is what I came away with.

Good for you corporate sponsored events should not be counted among the events to win. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have their own special corporate events. How could the host fail to win.

I gave valid reasons. You listed four games. I suppose we can ignore the fact that the other two have similar offerings. What we cannot ignore however is that both the other guys have only opened the door a crack on their lineup for next year. What did you think they were going to stop making games. They have to announce them sometime somewhere. Both have ample reason to do it in Europe. The result Nintendo and Microsoft can lay out the crowd with a couple shocker announcements. Three AAA titles from either of them could easily bury any good press Sony might have gotten. I think Sony would have raided the cupboard before now. So I think they have very little to show at least in the area of software.

Why dont you turn you fanatic controls down to a tolerable level ? and stop being delusional.  Sony has double the dev capability of Nin and MS put togehter, no one knows what half their devs are working on.

Playstation 3 will win this generation. The only reason it is not the best selling platform right now is because people don't understand it. Once Sony can show to the masses, it is more than just a game console, it will take off. I know a lot of people have brought up previous generations and how one platform grabs the market and runs without loooking back, and that Nintendo has put them selves in that situation, Their is one differance in this generation. The other consoles have more to offer. Next generation will come around, and when it does new gen will take the back seat.

Right ...

What exactly is it that people need to understand about the PS3?

People who buy gaming consoles are interested in them because they play games, the additional features at best are a nice addition for most people. If the system is more expensive than they're willing to pay for a gaming console no ammount of Blu-Ray playback or PC features will make them buy it because (to them) it is just a game console.

Blu-Ray is meaningless because there has never been a format that was adopted by 50% of their potential userbase within 5 years of being released; cd was about 8 or 9 years and DVD took about 7 years. Everyone who can afford a PS3 probably already has a PC and few people actually know (or what to know) what linux is.

Those are pretty. I would like one for my room, lol.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

 thank you finally someone who understand what a PRESS conference is about....Sony did a GAMERS' DAY conference....

and i do agree that SCEI as most certainely less card left in its hands than MSGS, but anly the future will tell us, but my opinion is they wouldn't have done a press conference like that at E3 if they had that many stuff in the trunk it simply doesn't make sens it's the best way to burn future IPs, from a marketing stand point...

Sony will show a new FFXIII video and hopefully a playable White Knight Story. I won't say Team Ico and get my hopes up ... I just won't

Edit: Actually, that sounds like TGS stuff. I have no idea what they'll have at leipzig.

Sony hasn't actually won an event this year. Would be interesting to see if they can win one. The GDC saw a number of Wii related announcements. While the E3 show had Microsoft making a very strong argument with their lineup. Sony has seemed very flat, and uninspired.

I would not put much stock in what Sony will bring to this event. You just know they are going to save everything they have left for the TGS. Where they will get a guaranteed blowout. No Nintendo to fight off, and Microsoft is a bad word in Japan.

Sony has stripped their future library bare. They are showing off games that will not arrive for well over a year now. Most of the titles are at the least seven months away from the market. They have depleted the well folks. Nintendo, and Microsoft have yet to really sink theirs. Nintendo has shown only one first party game for next year. Microsoft has barely scratched the surface also. So they have serious depth to work with. Damn them both for being the holding out types.

I predict that Nintendo, and Microsoft will probably unveil three big titles each. They will each get three midrange titles announced. Sony will announce one big title, and have one midrange title announced.

 I wanted to react on that... I agree TGS should be the sweet spot for Sony but last year XB360 booth had more frequentation than the Sony booth though..... so it might not be that easy for Sony.... all will depend on what both have to offer to the gamers....

If you have a competitive product, marketing may help. But the 360 is dying at 5%-30% rates. No amount of hype, pitch or yaw can paper over this fact. Until Microsoft fixes their hardware, they're dead in the water.
