I won't feed the troll above me

but I will say one thing

if PS3 is considered a huge failure by you....then many previous console makers who launched at $600 would long for such a failure to happen to their consoles

Thats like saying if Microsoft released their next OS for $1000. Will it fail? Yes, but it will still sell more than others who have released at that price.

OR

If APPLE released their next IPOD for $400. Will it sell. Hell yea but they will tremendously lose ground and probably not be market leader bt will still sell.

SONY on the other hand are in a much worse position as they are also losing money

 

All I'm saying is that PS3.....the console that will be the highest selling 3rd place console or even 2nd can't be called a failure

you are making it out to be some huge failure

So if APPLE released their latest IPOD nano for $400. Went from 75% market share to  25% and is third place or even second. You wouldnt call that a huge failure???

It will also be the highest sell 2nd or 3rd place mp3 player

On second thoughts you are right..... it has to be doomed!!

Sales are ONLY UP 60% (2009 v 2008)... thats not enough... I was expecting 100% at least even though it is now in it 4th year and has passsed the mythical 3rd year (you know the year when all consoles peak)


for reference

PS3 DOWN 13%

Wii UP 38%


Well squill... those sony guys took the bait and spouted some blind nonsense once again. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

 

It's the only console to ever be able to keep up with the others and sell the amount it has at it's price

 

On another note this thread is gonna go straight down the drain. Well it's already headed there.

 

Agreed, straight down the drain... just like the Xbox 360!

no i would call that a blunder....a mistake

NOT a failure

a Failure would = discontinuing PS3.......very low 3rd part support......very low SW sales......very low HW sales n so on

The PS3 clearly is not a failure... but it is a huge come down for Sony and a bitter pill that many sony fanboys just cant swallow.

Hell... some of them still believe it can win this gen... and most still believe 2nd place is a given.

I agree.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

@kowenicki

2nd place isn't a given I agree

but its not something thats out of reach either

SONY does have more cards up its sleeve.....the big one is the price cut....whenever int he enxt 100 years that will take place

really? let's see at E3 what ms will announce, cuz probably you'll be moaning by the time...like in the previous years!

Sake!

Microsoft knows they are in trouble. They don't have the talent that Sony or Nintendo have in their little finger and because of that they have to buy in talent from third parties without actually making anything good for gamers themselves. They are the parasites of gaming and the market is beginning to understand. Their time is up and its just a matter of time before they run out of money to give away and they have to face the fact that they do not belong in the gaming business.

 

This.

The only big announcement they'll have at this year's E3 is that the entire Xbox division has red ringed, so to speak. DOOMED.

@stan85

Ps3 has been "doomed" since 2006 E3 according to you guys

its still alive

PS3 got the most hate a console could ever get in its first year....yet came out of it with dignity

there's no spinning that

 

 It earned that with disappointment after disappointment though. That's like saying Hitlet "got a lot of hate"
