Forums - Sony - UDM Says PS3 Slim To Be Out This July.... Move Over 360 & Wii

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand how the slim is supposed to save the PS3. For years there have been so many different things that were supposed to make Sony finally reassert their dominance in the console market (Lair, Haze, MGS4, KZ2, BD winning over HDDVD, etc...) and none of them have worked. Why will this one suddenly make a difference?

Let's face it, even if sales skyrocket, it will take a long time to catch the 360 and it's next to impossible to catch the Wii. Even if Sony manages to pull even with MS, when this gen is over, people are going to look back and see, not an amazing resurgence by Sony to dominance, but a fall from their pedestal.

By this time last gen I had long given up hope that the Gamecube would be a success and gracefully accepted reality. Why can't some Sony fans do the same and be happy with the amazing games you have?. Stop making this a battle and start enjoying yourselves.

For one it does not need saveing thus making you're whole post useless.

 

I beg to differ.   I don't mean to say that I personally believe that it needs saving.  But, if people didn't believe that it needs help, then we wouldn't be hearing repeatedly about 'such and such' game saving the PS3.

Perhaps 'save the PS3' was the wrong phrase to use, but the point still stands that there's always something around the corner that is going to magically increase it's sales.  And to date, that has not happened.

As much as I'd want a PS3 Slim for $299 I dont think it'll happen. PS3s hard disk gets so hot it can go from 75 Fahrenheit - 90 Fahrenheit, whether thats true or not it IS true that the PS3 gets really hot and it NEEDS its fans in it to keep it from over heating. How are they going to fit all thos fans in a Slim PS3?

a ps3 slim would be built 45nm or even less manufacturing process,

smaller chips heat and electricity can be cook by half, sony can get it to the size of a ps2.

 

Also (not sure of the correct name) the power box is inside the ps3 , with the ps2 slim they had it on the lead like the 360 does , so if they had the box from inside the ps3 and put it on the lead it would also reduce heating........I think lol

@ gebx: on the other hand, you are also known to post whatever bad you can find about the PS3, whether it be true or not, so this is basically the pot calling the kettle black.

 

Could you find these posts that are not true?

I don't deny I post negative PS3 threads, but the reason why I'm not banned (and hated by PS3 fanboys) is cause what I post is true.

The truth hurts...
