SolidSnitch said:

I'm wondering, if the PS3 slim fails, what is this going to mean to Sony. I think its going to be the blow the ends the Playstation once and for all. Everyone are putting there hopes on the Slim for some reasons. Whats interesting is how soon they released it compare to the PS2 slim in its life cycle.

Same thing can be said to the PS2 slim when you compare it to the PS1 slim

Is it the last hope for winning this generation? No. That was long ago. Sony might be able to beat Microsoft for second place, but first is beyond their grasp.
Is it the last hope for the Playstation Franchise? Maybe. If Sony continues to lose money, and it looks like next generation is going to be just as bad, they may not make a PS4.
Is it the last hope for Sony? Hell no. They have enough money to drop the franchise without suffering too badly.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

Erm, last hope for what? PlayStation 3 is currently the 3rd fastest selling console, only behind Wii and PlayStation 2.

How? Please, show me charts, I can't believe it is selling faster than the ps1(the first console to reach 100 million) or even 360 that is outselling it weekly for a long time now.



This is a bit over-dramatic.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Their is still hope for a future release of SO4 on PS3 Slim. I believe that´s what he means. Personally I rather have RoF aka EoE.



Going through this thread just reminded me why I stopped posting here.

PS3 Slim may NOT be Sony's last hope. Don't forget Sony stated they're expecting to keep the PS3 as a player for a long term.
Even if the sales upsets Sony fanboys (which is not currently the case), PS3 is being given a life shot to outlast 360 and Wii.

Last hope for PS? May be, but there is reasonable doubt about this.
Last hope for Sony? No way. Sony can survive for long enough without PSs one it's list.

By the way, I'm an X360 fan. But I like to be real when data shows trends and not to be biased, as trolling has become pretty boring for me.



360 + Wii + Steam

I was talking mostly about this generation of consoles. I like Sony, but not the fanboys lol, anyways I feel that if the slim fails dramatically that it won't look very promising for the PS3. Not sure about the playstation as a whole as there is always some other ones and well Sony like mentioned is not only about gaming. I guess will see how things goes.



My favorite games for this gen:

1. Gears of War    2. MGS4    3. Killzone 2   4. Halo 3(Underated by many)      5. Mass Effect

if ps3 slim fails( not likely) then sony is fu**ed



Yeah it is Sony's last hope.
