Now, ABI Research believes that Sony's high prices might very be its undoing and knock it off the top of the video game world, which would seriously impact Sony in general and may very well put the entire Sony Computer Entertainment division at risk.

It won't be long before a few Sony Fanboys get in here and start flaming, but they are more and more looking like a group of crazies. Its OK, people at one time believed the world was flat too, so believing Sony's incessant marketing hype is not without precedent.

My $600 will go towards Rainbow Six:Vegas, Gears of War, Spore, Madden, NCAA, Splinter Cell and I'll still have enough scratch left over to pre-order Halo3 and Huxley as well. Sony fanboys will have a theoretical box and no games for that same cash....

Sony is in deep, deep trouble over this whole console era. Microsoft may never dominate as Sony did with the PS2, but I am very sure Sony is going to drop a ton of marketshare due to their insane pricing structure.

It is Soooooooooo nice to be able to come to a site (here) and have a FRIENDLY BACK AND FORTH chat or debate without all the BS.

Unregistered - ryan 05.18.2006 12:41

10 - New Name
Unregistered - Xgamer 05.18.2006 13:51
They should just call it the "ps bluray bottlenecking 3" POS. Nobody'd really buying this. I mean if a kid and most that want it are kids, they dont have $600 to spend and still buy games too, blah hahhahahahahaha, not happening. They'll be looking at 150,000 units sold in about a 3 month period in the US if there licky. And quickly it's bad rep will also slow it down in sales like it's rsx and cell slow down game play. LOL. POS.

"END OF STORY"


11 - Bad move
Unregistered - hat 05.18.2006 13:57
Sony sealed its downfall when it decided that implementing a new media, a concept at which it has failed several times (ie. Betmax, UMD, etc), was more important than making a gaming console to compete with the stiffest competition Sony has had yet in that area, Microsoft. It shows Sony's lack of consideration for its gamer fanbase. In addition, the massive hardware problems Sony is having with the PS3 (ie. underperforming cell, etc.), and its follow the leader attitude (copying directly from MS and Nintendo) really exemplifies Sony's fall from grace. MS won't be as dominate because of its problems cracking the Japanese market, but it looks like MS will take over before this generation is over. I think there's room for three consoles in the market, so with Sony imploding, I'm wondering who will step in and slay the wounded beast, permanately. Could we see the return of Sega?

if you go over to the sonytoday forum they all look like sick wounded animals lol, its quite a different story from just a week or so ago. Lol its so pathetic that they take the truth so hard lol. xbox 30 is were its at and they are dyin inside lol

13 - XBOX360 + HD-DVD DRIVER=PS3 SAME PRICE
Unregistered - fun gamer 05.19.2006 04:43
Xbox 360 with the 20 gig harddrive is $399.99 plus add their HD-DVD Drive that they say maybe $199.99 and you'll get $599.98 just 2 cents difference from sonys PS3 with the $60 gig hard drive....
Please anyone reply to this...
Thank for stoping by...


14 - get the point!
Unregistered - migs 05.19.2006 06:24
The point is that I do not want an hd dvd player yet as many other peole don't either, I just want to play games so why keep bundling the two together with that argument? At least microsofts consumers have the choice of just games or HD DVD as well! anyhow by the time the ps3 launches there is a possiblity that prices of xbox 360 hardware maybe cheaper to buy underminding that arguement...time will tell.

15 - Price is high
Unregistered - big joe bloe 05.19.2006 11:10
While i like all of the consoles from all major companies i think that some of them are exagerating on hte prices.

I was pissed when MS decided to make 2 360 prices but i managed to buy the premium one...

as far as sone i think they are aiming too high and that they expect fans to follow their expectations and pay up to play on their machines....fine and dandy..that's the way suits think in a company but sometime the real world will react differently...

the ps3 will be expensive and many fans will be turned off by it and will move to 360 or nintendo or pc altogether....you gotta buy a 600$ console and you don't even have games to play with it yet so to be ready you would need at least a 1000$ to get the console and a few games..that is a lot...and not everyone will be able to afford that..

i put off buying the psp also because it was too expensive and i am still waiting for it to go down and down till i like the price...

i probably won't buy the new nintendo until it is really cheap like maybe 2 years from now...

you gotta sit down and think about this...

If i wanna play now i am gonna have to fork a lot of dough or i wait a bit maybe buy a cheaper console still get some good gaming done and still enjoy myself plus sony is notorious to have different cheaper revision of their hardware as time goes by so maybe the waiting game is better...

i dunno it is a tuff one...i am not a fanboy of anybody i like them all but i buy what i can afford and i bought the 360 because i could barely afford it....

cheers


16 - hi
Unregistered - hello 05.19.2006 20:10
there is no way sony can come out on top with the asking prise of the ps3 most people that play video games r kids and i dont know any kid that has 600 bucks to burn even the 360 is a bit high prised but o well at least its an american company but made in china lol anyway i think the ps2 is going to be around a long time it might even have a better future than the ps3 lol long live 360 and wii
