Forums - Gaming Discussion - Insomniac's Brian Hastings speaks out on the PS3

His point was that the Wii will never get revised... that's what he said. I showed it's actually the PS3 that will never get revised cause it already has everything it needs in it. Was that not his point? Sorry, then.. my bad. "If you mean upgrade then no announcement has been made, either formal or even mere rumor. Then again you used past tense, so maybe they did plan on a revision until it sold out everywhere" Then THAT, my friend, completely annihilates the price arguement against the PS3.. like it or not, if N brings out a new console.. one word: LOSE!



Planning on getting a PS3 sometime in July-August.

a pair of $250 price tags over many years is still much easier to swallow than a $600 drop-in-the-bucket. I honestly don't see the Wii being replaced before 2011, maybe even later if it does well enough. :)



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

He was trying to say that the different SKU's are similar to hardware revisions in the consumers mind, although this is an implication I do not agree with.

I guess when Sony brings out the PS4... well... one word: LOSE!

O RLY? So you're actually saying "Yeah N! Come and take a crap on me! Your faithful consumer!" Well that is where you fail... IF is the key word, and for Sony, there's no IF. Developers ARE working on the Cell, Developers ARE working on filling the Gigs, Developers ARE INDEED happy with the PS3, as Brian Hastings shows. IF you think he's alone in this, you're terribly mistaken. Even EPIC (The guys who made Gears) has a thing for the PS3. You know who Mark Rein is? Here's what he said about the PS3 when the 360 launched Link, and here is what he thinks now Link. Does that mean Gears will be coming to the PS3?!?! OMG OH NOES 360 FANBOYS got OWN3D!! IF you honestly don't think the Wii will fail before 2009, let's bet on it!

Sony will start a NEW generation with the PS4. The Wii and 360 and the PS3 are THIS Next-gen. If MS an N will be so quickly to replace them, it means they failed in THIS next-gen... When the PS4 will come out, (10 years, I assume, but we'll never know) then a NEW-next-gen will start. You don't honestly believe that when a new Wii and a new 360 (Elite is already here) arrive they would call it a NEW next gen, do you?

OMG, lets talk about something completely different than the conversation in this thread! Sony knows whats best for me, and thats $600 for a video game console. Who cares that their previous systems were $300 at launch! Gab Newell, you know who he is, right? He said PS3 is teh suxorz cuz Sony messed up the launch. OMG Gears is published by MS and can't be released on PS3 since they own part of the IP. OWN3D PSTRIPLE FANBOY!!! LMFAO LOOK HOW COOL AND MATURE I IS

A) I was talking to vanguardian1 B) I assume that Irony escapes you if you didn't get the L33t talk joke. C) You really think that's gonna stop Epic from transfering Gears? As long as it's not MADE by Microsoft, nothing is certain. Oh and: D) Are you afraid you're gonna lose the bet about the Wii? And I couldn't help but notice how you're sticking to the "360 is better" arguement.

A) It's now obvious since you've added that quote and given your post context B) In addition to irony you should also learn the meaning of the words "sarcasm" and "mockery" C) Yeah, a company owning partial rights to a game doesn't mean anything. It's been confirmed that Gears 1 and 2 are exclusive to 360/PC via contract.

A) Good... glad that's settled. B) Now you're calling me an idiot? or to be more specific, are you implying that my cerebral skills are impaired? C) PC PC PC PC.. no longer exclusive. I can get Gears for the PC now.. yay! And I'd be having more fun cause I can use my mouse and keyboard. OH AND A LATE ADD-ON! Sorry for that again.. The PS3's launch was better than the 360s everywhere.. FACT.

How do you define "fail"? Nintendo makes profit for every Wii they sell, so no matter how fast the interest in software ends, Nintendo has made profit. I say Nintendo will have sold more Wiis than Sony PS3s and Microsoft 360s by the end of 2009. Want to bet on that? I also claim that Nintendo will have made the most profit by the end of this generation. Nintendo is really gaining momentum user and developer wise at this point, which means great games next year and the year after that and a pile of consumers who want the games. In addition, Nintendo is able to make popular games for casual players at a very fast pace. That is why I don't see the Wii failing anytime soon.



Did I say Nintedno????? I said Wii.. learn to read mate. You're seriously offering me a bet that the Wii will sell more than PS360 combined?? You want to think that over again??
