Forums - Sony Discussion - What will it take to admit there will be no Sony comeback this gen?

Honestly my conscience is clean. I have nothing to admit, or to concede. I have said it for many months that the PS3 has no real chance of a comeback, and I am not one of those people that says anything is possible. No it really isn't the sun doesn't just spew out marshmallows there is some thing in nature that prevents patently absurd things from transpiring.

You know like a console locked into third place for over two and a half years, and only losing ground everyday to its competitors making some bizarre comeback. With no advantages whatsoever. Speaking to the question some will never admit it, because they are too prideful. They will just go into hiding, or pretend that they never said anything at all.

I don't think the PS3 will overcome the 360's sales, it has a good lead and as long as it keeps pumping out games then it will sell. The only way the PS3 can pass it is if there is a price drop or the 360 just dies out imo. I believe it will be close, but the PS3 isn't just going to automatically demolish the 360 because "X" game comes out.



Sony has already won this gen, the wii is last gen and the 360 is a crappy PC.

That is actually possible, just not very likely.

OT: What do you mean comeback? Because second place is almost garenteed for the PS3.

Most sane, rational non-fanboys have admitted that Sony, as a video game console company, is probably done and that this is probably their last gen.


which is why Sony have just completely redesigned the PSP?



When the Wii is actually competing with the PS3 and the 360 doesn't have 80% failure rate.

Graphics aren't everything, Mr. Hard-ballz. The Wii is a console that doesn't revolve around graphics but immerses the player in 3D space. There are some games (Wii Sports/Resort, Endless Ocean, Tiger Woods 09, Super Mario Galaxy). The PS3's SixAxis is a cheap, last-minute gimmick Sony had to tack onto their controller to show that they have motion controls. Now they are releasing an add-on to an existing add-on. People were LAUGHING at Sony during E3; I heard it while watching it on G4TV on my digital cable. It looks like a freaking joy-toy for women.

If the X360 is a crappy PC, how is it that it's still ahead in sales WW than the PS3, hm? Plus the X360 has more games for everyone (like the Wii), other than the games the PS3 has that are less suitable for everyone. And don't give me that backlash by stating the PS3 has hardcore games, as every system does. In fact, the DS has more hardcore games than the PS3 (Brain Age, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, etc.). PS3 doesn't even HAVE a Final Fantasy game yet, but it's getting FFXIIIv, but is sharing FFXIII with the X360; and FFXIV is also releasing alongside the PC and may come out on the X360 later.

Get out of that little wet dream you have about Sony and their PS3. Face reality and be a human instead of someone who's delusional over some comeback that may never happen. The PS3 isn't going to sprout another 27 million in one year, not with its current price and still lack of games that are entitled for everyone.

Redesigned the PSP my foot. They made it harder for stores to carry it as retailers CANNOT sell games for it. Sure the PSP-3000 is still in stock and can live beside the PSPGo in harmony, but the fact of the matter is that the PSPGo was a wasted idea. Just what new ideas were they bringing forth? Lack of physical media for current software you already own? Lower battery life? The concept sounds neat on paper, but seriously, how is it going to revolutionize the way we play our games??

The guy was being highly sarcastic...

And the fact you called Brain Age "hardcore" makes me think you too were also being sarcastic.
