The PS3, the downfall of sony, TRUE?!

[Titanic]

It wont be the downfall of Sony because the company can pay off any debts the PS3 brings. However, its could easily be the beggining of the end for the Sony gaming section because it has been outsold by the 360 and the Wii by 2:1, and has been heavily criticised.

The guy who said PS3 is in its infancy has a point, the last statistics i heard were that the PS3 is using very little of its complete capacity for games. I HEARD it was under 50%(True?). But by January 08,games on the PS3 will be twice, up to 3 times bigger than Xbox games. Twice as big as the Wii.

PS3 won't be the downfall of sony, as the company, last time I checked, is quite a conglomerate with many other assets and resources. They may stray away from console gaming, but they'll still be making millions and millions, and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Really? I hear they have shit products, just the other day my dad bought a CD player from them and it didn't work on the car ride home. Traded it in for a different one, same problem. They need to stop jacking off Blu-Ray and get with the program.

[AndyDufresne]

I didn't say anything about their products being top of the line or good...or bad, etc. I'm simply saying, they'll still make millions and millions just because of the brand name. The company won't take much of a hit at all.

This is stupid, get a Wii, they both suck. The only reason to get 360 is Halo 3, and there is no reason to get a PS3.

lmfao HALO 3 FTW

Theirs so many reasons to get a PS3 Heres my Favorite Killzone 2

[static_ice]

yes it could be the downfall of sony's game division.

It costs sony about $900 to make a PS3.

Blu-ray will not win.

Sony keeps making stupid remarks at press conferences.

Sony sucks at exclusivity. ATM there is one good exclusive game. Sure there are a few exclusive titles in the making right now, but nowhere near enough to pull sony out of the hole. And sony doesn't look to good right now to nab that many exclusives in the future.

Microsoft and Nintendo are both pulling the big guns in this generation.

that is all for now

Killzone was HORRIBLE

[DirtyDishSoap]

well i only had access to what EB downloaded

off the top of my head

Motor Storm
Armored Core 4
Virtual Fighter (5 or 4 i forgot where they left off)
and Genji (which was fucking awesome lol)

Most of em took at least 1-2 minutes to load up the actual demo

for what they had on a 360
Virtual Tennis
Guitar Hero 2
Some gardening game...i have no idea

Virtual Tennis took the same amount of time to load maybe even more
the other two i simply clicked and 30 seconds later its loaded up.


Well ive never played Resistance Fall of Man, although granted i want to, i just dont own a PS3
Played and beaten GoW, awesome game, ran pretty smooth, no complaints.

You like Genji!? Please don't remind me of the GIANT ENEMY CRAB.
The games you listed are pretty rubbish, which is normal for a launch line-up. The real difference will come next year, when developers actually spread their wings.

Dude how could you have trouble against the giant crab, all you needed to do was bring out that big guy power up your club and in 2 hits the guy is dead, You shame me with your poor gameplay skills!

yeah it was, but the sonyholics are sacrificing children in ritual of the trailer for the sequel, they have their hopes up for that one.

:lol: , i played both the 360 and the PS3, hell i even compared em at EB games, the motherfucker runs slower then the 360, you can either
A. Believe in paperwork
B. Actually open up your eyes

Ok, just what games were you playing? I compared Resistance on PS3, to Gears of War on 360, and Resistance ran much, much faster. Especially online.

You tard, fucking compare games that are on both consoles. I wont even get into this argument because all end it.

Those aren't the same game.....maybe you should compare the same games.

Sony has been losing money ever since the release of the PS2, people just didn't realise it. Now, they're on a crash course with bankruptcy.

PS3's the best.

I'm pretty sure the PS2 was a profitable venture for Sony overall. They sold at a loss originally I think, but I don't think it remained that way for long.

However even despite Microsoft's seeming success they're still running at a huge loss. I can't see Microsoft sticking out another generation unless they turn profitable before the end of this one. Well maybe one more generation. They've gained a hell of a lot of market share this gen and probably don't want to throw all their efforts away.

PS3 is also currently losing money, but Sony seem to have tighter control on their spending than Microsoft generally so they'll probably turn that around. Nintendo are the only ones in the market making money right now.

[Psilocbin]

They don't have to make profit, they can still afford it.

[static_ice]

yeah they can afford it but when they realize that they're no point in keeping it because there's no hope for profit in the future they'll have to drop it

Alright.
Oblivion is on both consoles. And I've seen it played on both consoles.
It does look better (albeit, slightly) on the PS3.
