I completely agree with the OP - ask anyone who doesn't own a PS3 - poll the entire world as to why they haven't bought one.

See how many times "Shape and Size" are the deciding factor.

I don't own an xbox360 because it is hideous. point flawed.



The Halo francise is the most overrated bland game to ever hit the console market. It provides a bad name to all FPS that even showed effort at creating an original entertaining plot.

I probably have more ps3 games than you :/

I completely agree, and I think that's why Nintendo was so quick to redesign the original DS - it looked too Toy-Like for adults - but for some reason, I don't think the PS3 is seen that light.

It's a pretty cool looking -

Yah I have no idea what nintendo thought with the original DS... it was absolutely HIDEOUS and made the dual screen setup look like pure gimmick.

I find it funny that most Sony fanboys here claim that the moment PS3 releases a slim version this will equal to total sales going off the roof! There's a fact t hat PS3 fanboys are forgetting: The reason why PSOne and PS2 Slim did so great was because the Playstation brand had already reach mass market success, had a great price and were the consoles with the most amount of AAA games.

Guess what? This is not the case this generation. Sure, if the PS3 Slim comes out and there's a price cut it will increase sales of the console. However the same will happen with a potential price cut for the  Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. They don't need to change the shape of the console to win, after all Nintendo has never changed the shape of their consoles and yet they had 2 winning generations.

Get with the program, PS3 will not be successful because of PS3 Slim, it will only be if somehow Sony manages to get developers to stop making games for the 360. Till that happens there's no way the 360 will just suddenly stop selling.

Discuss...

The DSLite and DSi say hi.

It's not just the slim that might come this fall. It's also the price cut.

You bring something new to the market at a good price. I heard ps3 was outselling 360 before the 360 got a price cut.

I asked all my friends, they said they would buy a ps3 if the price was lower.

A ps3 slim with a lower price would kill it.

Did you ask them how low? Also did you ask them what they would do if the competition got cheaper at the same time.
