Stupid Fanboy just go and die you stupid fuck...

Smashchu2, I really think you have a couple of good points, but I do disagree with you about a few things. First, I don't think the PS3 is doing as badly as you do, and I believe in a longer generation than you do, apparently.

Considering the fact that the PS3 is in third (last) place, it's doing outstanding. It is and will be the most successful losing console of all time in terms of sales. It has a great standing with its customers as well, and shares an amazing library of games with the xbox.

My end of generation projections puts the HD consoles at a maximum of 140 million, and I have previously predicted that they will not sport more than a 10 million gap between them. Naturally, I have no real basis for this, other than a simple estimation of population caps.

Also, while your arguments about price are mostly fair, the extreme price difference between the consoles is something never seen before, and that might skew the picture you paint a little bit. While I do not believe a $200 PS3 would sell much more than at the current price, I would not discount the possibility.

I believe Gran Turismo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII will indeed push a lot of PS3's in Japan. But about half a million consoles more or less is not going to noticibly affect the outcome. And outside of Japan, these games will have a minimal impact on PS3 sales. God of War III on the other hand, will most likely not sell any measurable amount of systems.

As I said Smaschu I agree with you on many points, most importantly the customer orientation that is apparent in your posts, but I have a much more positive outlook on both HD consoles than you do.

This here beats out all those mountains of text in the OP

ps3 is doing just fine. did nobody see the 3d option shown at last years e3 (i think)

leave that be, since like the op said its not always bigger the better... sony might still come up with accessories like maybe motion sensor.... that will elongate the life of the PS3.

I don't see how people think that the PS3 will make it to 10 years. Maybe this will put it into perspective.

The PS2 was a monster during its generation. It was the top selling console by far. Even with all of that momentum, the PS2 is having trouble making it to 10 years. Hardly anyone talks about it anymore, its shelf space is getting smaller and smaller, and it has very few big games coming out. To actually make it to 10 years old, it will have to continue to October 2010 in North America. The PS2 is already a hollow shell of its former self, what will it look like in another one and a half years?

How is a third place console, with much less momentum, going to make it 10 years?

I'm sorry that a pure fact upsets you.

On a wing and a prayer.

1. If your so confident; take a bet then. Don't just say your right and leave it at that. Put a wager on it.

2. I listed my reasons why I think PS3 will sell for the full 10 year plan. It was something like Blu Ray, imminent price drop, best upcoming games, and something else.

I would take that bet, however it doesn't mean much as that date is so far into the future.

"I am saying to buyers that your product will become useless, essentually"

I stopped right there.

I hate this shit. Is it fear? Jealously? Envy? Can't let the past go? SONY anally raped your mother's decapitated corpse in front of you while you were strapped to a chair?

I'm not aiming at you. I just don't understand why some people want to see a company fail/go down/suffer. SONY's brought 3 great systems and an amazing slew of games to the table. The PS3's been getting great game, after great game after great game. I guess the DreamCast/Saturn/XboX/GameCube/N64 are all useless now because they didn't win/aren't on the market anymore/left the market earlier than the competition.
