What do you mean 2 Kingdom Hearts games headed to PSP? i thought it was just Birth by Sleep?

Also the DS is getting a Kingdom hearts game also, just so you know.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Having just come out of the thread in question, I can safely say it has more to do with how poorly you assemble an argument than it is with any fear of the PS3. I wouldn't expect you to come to the conclusion that it's your approach that is the problem though. Just blame everybody else.

 

 agreed multiplied by 100.

Personally, I love the ps3 and would love to see it pick up marketshare.  Your arguments have way too many holes in it though.  People aren't afraid of the idea of ps3 coming back as much as they are annoyed at how absurd your ideas are.  Maybe if you actually used some thought and logic before you post you might not get as much negative feedback. 

Remember the advice i gave you in the last thread BT?  If the vast majority of the people in the thread are disagreeing with what you are talking about, it is probably because you are the one full of crap.

Especially on this site, which i would say the ps3 fanbase is the largest, or at least the most vocal.

People aren't scared of the PS3, people are tired of lunatic style rantings with with opinions that are just old, tiring, boring, insane and generally do not consider all facts, but just cherry pick situations.

With the OP falling into the category of lunatic style rantings. Generally delivery is awful and generally comes off as someone who doesn't understand people but his own tastes and bias and will justify that the industry will become fanboy beliefs and believe and bias style.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

haha and I thought MikeB was the only Sony fanboy crazy enough to predict the PS3 to sell 140 million LTD. Looks like I was wrong...

It's true that 360 owners are afraid of PS3 success.

First simply looking at vg chartz: From November 2005 through march 2008 (2 and 1/2 years) the Xbox 360 sold 17,630,322 units. After two and a half years the PS3 is at 21,553,909. So let's do the math: in 2 1/2 years the PS3 sold 3,923,587 more units then the 360 did in 2 and a half years. Something to remember X-Box fanboys: The 360 did not come out in 2006, it came out in 2005. Now the real horror comes from knowing that the PS3 has ALWAYS been more expensive then the 360. In fact the 360 is currently HALF the price of PS3. But is it selling double what the PS3 sells? Not even close.

More horror is knowing that the PS3 is more powerful then the 360. We have already seen 3 games: Uncharted, MGS4 and Killzone 2 display graphics that could never be done on 360. And of course there's bluray. Now many X-Bots will try and dismiss bluray and say that digital downloads are the wave of the future. Why weren't digital downloads the wave of the future when Microsoft was trying to sell you a $150 HD-DVD add on for the 360? A Bluray movie can be up to 50 GB and 400 GB disks are coming this year and 1 TB disk by 2011. Do you know how long it takes to download 50 GB of information? A hell of a lot longer then some MP3 on Itunes. What's that compression? No thanks. Even if downloads are the wave of the future PS3 wins again. My PS3 has a 350 GB HD in it. How much did it cost me? About half of what you paid for you 120 GB proprietary 360 HD. Developers are struggling now to fit games like Tekken 6 on 1 DVD. Now you see the genius of Sony spending money on first party software showing off the power of PS3 instead of MILLIONS of dollars on- *snicker*- DLC for games I cared about two years ago. X-Bots say "but when the PS3 outsells the 360 it won't matter because the X-box 720 will be out". PS3 fans aren't worried about the PS4 or the X-Box 720- PS3 is the future NOW, and the PS3 will have a shelf life of at least one, but more likely 3 years more then 360.

And then we can get into Japan where all those exclusive JRPG failures most definitely will not equate to more Japanese support. In the west the 360 is winning. But not by much. Yes Halo has helped keep the Bible belt on lock. But everywhere else the preference is split down the middle.

And always, ALWAYS remember that Microsoft has FIVE TIMES the money that Sony does. So to be beaten by a company that has one fifth the recourses that you have two console generations in a row would be nothing less than utterly humiliating.

This?

No one is threatened by the PS3 because for it to have a “comeback” it would need to be on top in the first place which never happened this generation. Console sales in Japan aren’t even close so a few weeks of eeking out a minor weekly lead won’t even be a statistical error by the end of the year. I love to hear the litany of PS3 games that are supposed to drive sale but never do. When the PS3 starts out selling the Wii 2 to 1 for a full year then I’ll sit up and take notice until then you keep grasping at straws and posting delusional fantasy scenarios we could all use a laugh.

Im fear of PS3 because there is a risk it mite crush the x360 sales if it's go down to $299 soon, but if Sony dont drop that much in 2009 the X360 will win this HD gen.

      Well, I thought there were three announced at the Press Conference in Japan last year where Agito, Dissidia, and Birth by Sleep, and The Third Birthday were announced.  I guess there were just the one on the PSP and DS after consulting the IGN Game Profiles page.  Maybe I was thinking about the two Final Fantasies coming to the PSP -- Agito and Dissidia. 



Heavens to Murgatoids.

     Can you show me where in this thread I mentioned the PS3 selling 140 million consoles?  I don't think I said that.  That said, I do think that the Wii isn't going to rush up to 100 million consoles like it did its first 50 million either.
