Why is that people who own both consoles want the PS3 to fail? Cmon You own it so why don't you support your purchase.

I wish every game was made exclusivly for that console. For example in the sports genre:
2K sports could make exclusive games for PS3
EA sports could make exclusive games for 360

Both times I've had to send my premium off for repair I had it back within a week and a half.

Neoxkc, you are not alone in your idea. I don't know anyone personally who had a PS2 and didn't have a hardware failure at some point. Now, given, they were easy to fix. For instance fixing the disc jam problem was easy: you just took the drawer apart and put it back together. A little harder was cleaning the laser. The 360 is actually not that difficult to fix either, but less people seem inclined to do it. A couple erasers and you can fix the re ring of death problem. Anyway, in my personal experience PS2 failure rates have been much worse than 360 PERSONALLY.

I don't know if exclusives will be the death knell for the other, but GTA got me to finally CONSIDER an xbox 360, and now I own one and love the thing. Can't say I see any game coming out this year for the PS3 that will get a lot of normal people to consider picking up the console. Don't really see much planned for the first half of next year either...

OK, so I guess it is Microsoft's gain..

Die Sony.

Day by day the ps3 falls more and more into the pattern of the 3DO, Jagaur and Dreamcast.
Sony's Failure is going better than I could have ever hoped 10 fold.

how come nintendo didn't die when it got beaten two gens straight?

As far as the hardware issues:
I bought a PS2 when it was $300 (I think spring of 2001) and it's still working.

I bought a 360 last January and it's still in decent shape.

I think people whose consoles overheat and die (or die from something else) stem from people playing them too much and not gettin' laid.

Nintendo was beaten twice yes. But neither time was that particular comsole a failure from the start. Also Nintendo has big games in the industry that every1 wants to play, that kept them trucking in thier time of need. Sony aint got dick to fall on, God Of War and Gran Turismo...Thats about it,and neither game is on the horizon for PS3. By the time those games do come, only the completly die hard ps3 fans will enjoy them cause the rest of the world will have wrote the ps3 off. Ps3 owners are jumping ship everyday in mass numbers. It is also hard for sony losing big in the portable market as well. The DS has put the psp over its knee and is spanking that ass hard. All that R&D wasted. The only thing sony has going for them is Blueray, and it is still too soon to see if it will defeat HD DVD for home dominance. I think companies think blueray is doing better because ps3 owners are going nutz trying to find movies for it because they have nothing else to do with thier 600 system. How many of U know or have friends that just have a stand alone blueray player? Less than 5% I'd bet. Same could be said about HD DVD, hence as I said it is too soon to tell the outcome of that particular battle. But as far as ps3 goes it's all but over. 3rd party companies are bailing outa that system at record breaking speeds. We have seen this all before in past failed consoles, history will repeat itself with the ps3.

yes lets wish for the destruction of all companies except one in the video game arena...after all, its not like competition breeds innovation and in the end benefits us all as video gamers

No no, there should only be ONE system. I mean that way EVERYONE wins right?

Give me a break.

I can understand not liking sony, hell i despise microsoft myself.

That said, i'm not going to let my hate of a company make me turn down a solid product. Thats why i have a 360, and had an Xbox even after those have been the only 2 consoles to ever break on me.

its also the reason why i have a PS3, because i still enjoy tons of PS2 games and the future prospects of the system aren't lost on me either, still i enjoy games on it RIGHT now as well.

its also why i have a Wii, because while i dont play it near as much as my 360 and PS3, Nintendo has never let me down.

So the way i see it, not liking one console, well thats fine, dont buy it, you've done your part... but anyone who actively wants a company to fail...well to me that's rather moronic. Its like you dont like having a choice and WANT there to be limits or something... i just dont get that kind of mindset at all.

Try thinking harder about it then kid.
Sony must die out of the console industry. What games will be missed if thier console fails?? Anything that is worth keeping around actually MADE by SCE, can be put on another console. It's call 3rd party and its what Sega, Panasonic/EA, Atari and SNK had to do after failing in the console industry.A) If U bought a PS3 to play ps2 games on it, then ur a stupid ass.B) If U bought a ps3 just for Resistance fall of man, see A. If U think anything else on the PS3 is worth owning from launch day right up to this very moment that isnt already on 360 then refer to A. As far as these choices U speak of.....Please explain exactly what choices Sony offers that is worth owning thier product that is actually MADE by thier development team, not published by?


It comes down to something more like this.....

Look at me! Look at me! I've got a PS3!

Berries and Cream! Berries and Cream!

UR A Tart. Go post on a neutral web site. Or better yet go post on PS3 fanboy with the other tarts.

Again...Die Sony.

I hope they get MGS 4. Then I am TOTALLY HAPPY with 360. I want MGS 4 even more than FF, even though I certainly wont mind having them both.

Wow, I am speechless.

Hmm...so you're saying that the PlayStation should fail and Microsoft should be left unopposed high-end console maker. I guess you've never taken an economics class, since you would learn there that COMPETITION IS GOOD FOR CONSUMERS!!! Let's look at the handheld market as an example. When Nintendo was the only major player in the handheld gaming market, there wasn't much progression happening. Nintendo would release one true new handheld, then release a bunch of redesigns that were pretty-much rehashes of the original handheld. Once Sony came into the handheld gaming market with the PSP, Nintendo was finally pushed into being competitive which made them create the DS. It's also forced Nintendo to make their prices lower, which is good for consumers.
Competition is good and for the benefit of consumers the XBox needs to compete with the Playstation.

see ccc its just that kind of thinking i dont get... less competition is a good thing? Doesnt that go against the basic principles of business and things athat are GOOD for the consumer?

Less competition is a BAD thing, especially when general consumers are involved. With PS3 and NIntendo out there it likes a candle under MS's ass, and vice versa on the other 2 systems.

so i'm a tart because i like to play on all 3 consoles... ok, well you're a moron for being a poster boy of a corporation that doesnt need nor care for you.

by your logic there's no need for a 360 either since all those games can be made on other consoles as well. All we'd miss is halo, no big loss there right?

I mean jeez by your logic, why do we even need consoles? just make the games for the PC... everyone has one of those right?

In any case i play PS2 games on my PS3 for several reasons, saves me the need for having 2 systems hooked up instead of one, it upscales them, and well forgive me for truly enjoying some "last-gen" games... i dont know whats come over me... you're right i should only enjoy games MS tells me to enjoy.. so i should stop playing xbox and PS2 games... heck i may as well get rid of all my old gamecube, nintendo and SNES games as well...cuz i'm an idiot.

as for gmaes on the PS3 i enjoy, i enjoy right now just about as many games on my PS3 as i do on my 360, sure some games are multiplatform, but if you let that control your enjoyment of a game... you sir are an idiot and probably need to find a new hobby.


But in the end as much as you love MS, its the presence of Nintendo and Sony, that makes them bring us the great experiences we now enjoy... and there's no disputing that. AFter all its not like MS invented console gaming.

Namco would be making a very foolish decision to keep a game like Tekken or Time Crisis exclusive to the Playstation 3. Those games would make a lot more revenue and profit on the Xbox 360.

The same can be said for Square Enix with Final Fantasy 13. It would be a demonstration of stupidity in the world of business if Final Fantasy 13 were to be released exclusively for PS3.

Kingdom Hearts probably will be released for both Xbox 360. That is an excellent decision to make gamers all over the world happy, and increase revenue along with profits at the same time.

Konami would be demonstrating extreme foolishness if they did not take advantage of the upcoming E3 2007 trade show to announce Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Xbox 360. It would be smart to simultaneously release the game for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2008.

U need to get ur facts strait b4 U address me. Ds came out way before psp was released, so please explain how sony pushed nintendo into releaseing the ds? Compedative gaming is fine, I have no problem with that. And Im not saying Microsoft should rule supreme. Im saying Die sony. Some other company can make a console and try but sony will die. I want sony to die. In my book this is exactly what those bastards deserve. My reasons. Right now Microsoft is the greatest tool I have to achieve the goal I seek, which again is sony's demise. And beside the point, back to what #36 was saying.... Ur looking at it all wrong in terms of economics. Ur looking at it using what U learned tward the consoles, U need to be looking at the third party developers. U think there arnt a shit load of companies trying to outdue halo or gears of war? do U think they, as developers care what system it is released on in terms of better hardware? They dont. The level of cometition U talk about is at the core with the 3rd party developers and not the companies that supply the hardware platform. Loosing sony in the gamming industry is not going to hurt it at all. There will still be nintendo as there always is, and maybe a new beggining for some company in the console industry. Hell, Sony's death could very well pave the way for Sega to return to the Hardware buisness. If U dont understand yet U never will. Im done with this topic.

First please list the titles of games that U enjoy on each console. I just have to see how this evens out between ps3 and 360. Secondly MS dosnt tell U anything kid, If thats what U think U should seek help. Third I never said it was wrong to enjoy last gen games, again U did, I only said It would be stupid to consider owning a ps3 for that reason especially if U already own a ps2.
In fact Ur entire comment seems to assume things that I said, when In reality U just didnt understand what I was saying.
First impressions are always the lasting ones tart.
