It's interesting to Note that While these New Implementations while Incldue the PS3...They really are for the PSN......What I understood from this report was that the PSN is going to be implemented in more places than the PS3

"A diverse range of electronics will be connecting to the Internet in the near future, tapping Web-based services, and we have to think about what we need to do to make our customers - the king - like our products."

At the time, we thought we would make more money that way than with open technology, because we could manage the customers and their downloads.

We have to create a sanctuary which provides customers an environment for their enjoyment.
That is how we can change a threat to the content business into an opportunity.

“Next we will be expanding the PlayStation Network to hardware other than the PS3, because the number of PS3 units sold puts a limit on the scale of the network possible."

The Internet and information technology have changed all that. And if we don't adapt accordingly, we will lose our customers to the competition.

PS2 = First place
PS3 = last place

My logic supercedes your opinion.

Becuase costumers are the one who judge how long a system lives for, not the developers. When consumers stop buying the console/games, they have to make a new one. People buy new consoles for new entertainment experiences. They stop using it once the entertainment value wears off. Since games are coming out too slow and the current trend (which Sony has been following) console lives have been shorter and shorter, pointing to less entertainment value. The PS3 doesn't have entertainment value, so they need a new system.

1. you have to OPTIMISE games for motion tech, you cant just release a controller and go.. here you go.. play all the games that were unoptimised for this technology with this whole new controller! so that makes all the previous software library on the console INCOMPATIBLE with the new controllers.

2. You know what, fuck digital downloads... The way memory is getting cheaper i wont be surprised if console makers move back to carts, hell you can find 8GB chips for under $10. Heck thats AS cheap as a blu ray disc.And most(99%) games would FIT on a 8GB flash chip. Now factor in that 32nm tech is gonna hit memory- so its going to get even more cheaper and roomier.

3. I never said SONY launching a new console would be cheaper- I said the current console is so expensive to make and so complicated by the time they get the price down to mass market levels($200), M$ would be ready to launch the 720 or nearing it, and if m$ are smart as they have proven they are- they would price their BASIC SKU at the 259-299 price range. Now what would consumers buy- a 5 yrs old PS3 or a shiny new xbox720

4.The ps3 sells certain titles better than the xbox yes but on the whole xbox still has the edge.. and its common sense why.. coz they spend LESSER on their console, ergo they have more money to spend on software.

The ps3 is too darn complicated, the yen is too darn strong and the economy is too darn shit. Too darn bad. The ps3 will NOT outlive the PS2. better luck next time.

1. Yes even if they launch new console they will have to all these steps plus if we apply your logic all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games will be INCOMPATIBLE..?

so isn't it going to be a better solution to keep this controller and make the motion tech controller optional or add motion tech controller with the games requiring motion tech controller. just like Guitar hero games come bundled.

2. First decide wot u want, digital download or games on memory stick. Just remember Blu-Ray the cost difference of Blu-Ray or Memory Stick are going to be negligible.. so why even talk abt.. i m sure single disc of Blu-Ray will cost less than a dollar within couple of yrs.. 

3. launching a new console is not going to solve the problem for anyone. If PS3 can run games available of XBOX 720 in the high Def with 30fps than it will be a better option for many ppl. When anyone is buying a console, its all about games.. isn;t it.? so point is either they do radically something different like virtual reality games for which they require lot of processing power or i don't see a need for new console too soon.

4. Does it make a sense.? the answer is PS3 still have to go a long way in American market and it can't reach that market until or unless its price is not reduced.. As you can see from many threads here that Sony is producing more games for PS3 with every passing yr and also third parties are putting equal title on PS3. so i don't see Sony at a disadvantage.

"2. You know what, fuck digital downloads... The way memory is getting cheaper i wont be surprised if console makers move back to carts, hell you can find 8GB chips for under $10.

Writeable BR disc may cost $10 for consumers but pressing costs of BR discs for companies is around $1. I found some companies who are actually pressing BR's with that cost. And DVD pressing cost 0.1-0.15$.

oh yea totally.. and do you think apple pays all those korean/chinese manufacturers $10 for 8GB for its ipods.. hell no..if you mass produce anything and order shitloads prices will come down too. Another factor is that a flash card slot would cost next to nothing to put into a console.. as opposed to a blu ray rom drive which would cost say around $60-80.. so if they went back to carts we would actually be spending lesser on the console itself.

1.HA!

2.Er and Nintendo wont fight to retain it?

3."Only one.." wut? (Mainly for the words you chose not the mispelling)

4.Wtf is wrong with you?

5.You are delusional.

There is nothing wrong with being having a favorite company but you gotta have some damn reasoning and not be blind by your stubborness.

1.OK the PS3 has officially dropped off BC, so the whole chapter of BC with older games is a moot point..secondly no one really wants to play Gran turismo 1 with a "waggle".. like i said motion tech is probably going to be a standard alongside the dualshock.. like how the wii currently has the classic controller for some games and the wiimote for others.

2. DO you remember the wonderful days of SNES, genesis,N64.. you could purchase cart games from stores! n you didnt need to download them! same theory applies here.. digital downloads would just be icing on the cake.

3. again..i dont even know if you READ anything i said.. so here ill make it simple.. PS3 current price $500, price in two years.. around $200+, NEW XBOX 720 with "waggle" from scratch.. probably $299.. with better graphics.. which one would ppl buy?

4. yea.. its the damn price.. which is killing them.. when your competition is half your price, you can only sell SO much. the PS2 was a worldwide success and sold millions in the "other" regions. The ps3 at this price point isnt making anyone in "BRIC" or other countries, drool.

The ps3 has too many bottlenecks, unlike the PS2, and is very very unlikely to last as long as 10 yrs on the market.

Nice to sneak in a cheap shot at Wii. Cant wait till this "gimmick" is on both MS/Sony consoles.

OT: No chance in hell. PS3 is doing terrible and Sony simply fucked up. Nintendo fucked up with the N64 Sony did it with the PS3 accept it.

PS3 still has amazing lineup so just stfu and play the great games for it.
