Its not about a last hope, it was a smart move to try and spark a sales increase by making the PS3 competitively priced. And according to initial sales reports it looks like they increased sales, a lot. Also we haven't even had Gran Turismo 5 yet, the best franchise on the PS3, or God of War III which is a very good series. Or Final Fantasy which is still exclusive in Japan I think.

you are my last hope

Yawn i am going to bed you lot are boring me lmao

I've never actually said this but yeah it's 360 fanboy's making threads like this that make me hate the Xbox aswel. I mean do they know how dumb they sound with these topics. It's like they ignore the fact PS3 has sold 23.4 mil consols worldwide and Xbox 360 has sold 31.6 mil worldwide. Only 8 mil more than PS3 and the Xbox 360 was out 1 year earlier, selling on the HD market with no competition and a lot of advertisement for 1 whole year until Sony came along with there HD consol selling with very little advertisement. But yeah Sony's failing big time in the eyes of 360 fanboys

No, Torneko was.  And I hate everyone here that didn't notice my witty reply to the first witty reply that nobody else had the wits to reply with.

Im sure that many said the Gamecube was Nintendo's last hope and now look at them

Its not over till its over

I have trouble understanding why anyone would hate a product because he/she disliked some of the people who own the product.  Would you hate steak because you read threads online from people you disliked who were fans of steak?  I like steak because it tastes good to me, not because anyone else likes or dislikes it.

I think a lot of people who are fans of the PS3 blame 360 fans for their 360 angst when actually there is a more subtle reason... when we make a choice and a larger group of people make a different choice, a little voice in the back of our heads tells us that perhaps we made the wrong choice, and that makes us defensive and more sensitive to negative comments regarding our choice.  That's just the way people are.

I'm more interested in the facts regarding consoles than in trying to prove to myself that I made the "right" choice... in fact, I will probably end up with all 3 eventually.  I've also noticed that there are several posters whose comments seemed to become less defensive when they ended up owning 2 or 3 of the consoles... it took the pressure off to justify to themselves that they hadn't made an expensive mistake.

Sorry but I have read this way to much...MGS4 sony's last hope;..LBP Sony's last hope, Killzone 2 Sony's last hope;..Now this....I tell you we are gonna have more threads like this in the future;

Look it's like this. At the start of this generation I had no opinion on the Xbox 360. I followed Sony since the PS1 days and PS3 was my choice of consol. I had nothing bad to say about Microsoft, PS3 was for me and as long as I had that I was happy. Then all these threads started by Xbox Fanboys saying THE PS3 IS DOOMED, PS3 owners wasted there money, haha we robbed this exclusive, PS3 is in last place, I give Sony 2 years before they discontinue PS3.

A full year of that coming from very arrogant and stupid fanboys voicing there opinions and then using ad homien attacks on anyone trying to talk facts is enough to turn anyone against a consol. Who want's to be part of that comunity.

I did plan on owning all 3 consols at the start of this generation just like I owned a Gamecube along with a PS2 last gen. See how thats changed. I've become a fanboy myself because of fanboys. LOL your whole steak moral didn't really make much sense by the way cas it's a totally different thing going on to what you discribed lol but I know what your trying to say but unfortunatly my hate for Xbox did start with Fanboys

Damn it! I wanted to make that joke, and you're the only other person sharp enough to pick it out

OT: Um...no. Firstly, the situation you describe is hypothetical and impossible and so does not require imagining. Secondly, without the Slim, the PS3 would still hit around 40 million, which isn't terrible and certainly wouldn't send them out of the gaming industry. Also, Sony leaving the industry would not be a good thing.
