20million for ps3 YEAH:D:D

I think I should get a beer and invite you all into the sauna..

To the OP:

The reason is the same as why Arsenal fans party when the Spurs lose a game and vice versa.

I agree, threads like that are stupid. How can you possibly hate sony, they made the PS1 and PS2. Gaming might not be what it is today without them.

^Tell that to the sports fans of rivalling teams.

I've always thought a two major system competition was best. Fourth generation had the SNES and Genesis as the main competitors (every other system was a minor competitor at the time), fifth generation had the N64 and the PS1 (the Saturn was no comparison).

I personally feel things were better that way.

With that said, it'd work nicely if Sony dropped out and it was Nintendo vs. Microsoft. Japan vs. America.

And these days, with how expensive game development has become, it'd work MUCH better for developers if one of the major names dropped out. And because developers would be better off, they'd be able to make more games, and make them better. As a result, us gamers would end up being better off.

So really, it's only Sony fanboys that can argue against this.

I don't want any company to fail but I for one am well and trully absolutely completely happy that PS3 has "failed". Want to know why? Imagine if a $599 PS3 had sold as well as the PS2. What would that do for gaming? It would mean super expensive consoles from now onwards. If the next Nintendo console was $599 I would still buy it day one but surely it can't be a good thing for consoles to be so ridiculously priced.

Now Sony have learnt their lesson and other companies have also learnt their lesson from the lesson Sony has learnt. So next gen we can look forward to affordable consoles.

kylohk, we dont celebrate when the spuds lose! we are saving that for if and when they go down!

Exactly. There shall be no "premium" thing in gaming, ever. User experience must be cheap and affordable, and those who sell 'hi-tech' for 'gaming' should fail in business.
