Yes. Sony has blown it several times in the past year. The PSP is a prime example. They have countered homebrew attempts at EVERY angle, but then refuse to develop anything else for the PSP. The browser is still old technology, and you have to actually HAVE a PS3 to download PSOne games for the PSP. It’s like they want you to own their stuff, but will try to make it as painful an experience as it possibly can be.

Sony did not only share the holiday console debacle. There were no Wii's to be found this holiday season either. The only console that I ever saw in a store was the X-Box 360.

I'll buy a PS3 later... when the titles warrant it. If they don't and Sony gets out of the console market, I still wont turn to the PC for games. I'll probably just get a 360.

Here's my gameplan for the dilema:

first, the info as I see it:

okay so it's early 20006 and microsoft releases the

XBox 360

and everyone want one cause its like 1080i and it works well and its fun, its got all the gadgets, and the price comes up at

an affordable $400

where I live. So, September comes around and in the same week, Sony and Nintendo release

the Wii and the PS3

The Wii has a whole new approach on gaming and it's games are considerably fun and it price is

an affordable $400

OKay, The PS3 has the same type of play as pretty much all of their consoles but, Holy Bit! 1080p graphics! and, Holy bit! It games are firggin' awesome! and Holy Bit! It plays Blu-ray! and holy bit! it has internet access! Wait a minute, what? I already have a computer with IE7 or Firefox. Why do I need that? Well to download more stuff of course. But why? There's already all da shiz of stuff on this PS3. Oh and then ther's the price a

friggin $600!

I can see how it's worth that much. I still aint paying that much.

now, the real gameplan:

okay so I get an XBox 360 for christmas: done
then I play trhe crap out of it until Nintendo comes out with the next version of the Wii: not done
And finally by then, the PS3 will be like $300 and I'll buy it: not done


That looks like it will work to me, that is assuming neither nintendo or sony go out of beezwaks.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

It does seem that way... sigh.

It would be nice if they would just wake up and realize that the psp offers so much more than they planned on.

It's really sad to hear someone say that.

Well, you won't catch me buying any of the consoles. The only one that even remotely interests me is the Wii.

Next year will be a big comeback for PC gaming. Finally Microsoft is getting serious about the PC with Games for Windows. They've allowed the PC market to erode something fierce, by placing all their attention on the Xbox 360.


And, absolutely, Sony has blown it. They became way too arrogant because of their lead. They thought people would buy the PS3 no matter how much it cost, or how few titles were available for it at launch time.

They fail.

Well,

It's a couple of weeks after Christmas, and the Playstation 3 is now readily available. I see them stacked up in Target and Best Buy. However, the Wii is still MIA.

I guess we know who won this war. This also is making me nervous about possibly dropping $600 on a console that is not being purchased by anyone and may go nowhere.

PS2 itself had a slow launch. (I'm surprised no one remembers this!)

Once Sony kicks down the price (if they're willing to do this) and when good games finally come out, PS3 will probably catch up.

But heh, I want to know how the hell people can find PS3's in their cities so easily when they're out of stock here. (I'm not joking. Couldn't find any where I live. When there's a PS3 shipment, they're gone the day they get the shipment in. Same with Wii shipment.)

Wii just has the hype right now because of the wiimote... but it might be a while before Nintendo really feels the backlash from people who decide that they don't want to touch their wiimotes because they're too tired from a long day at work. :/
-- One of my friends on LJ was talking about how he had a horrible long day at work and was just too tired to even look at the wii. He said that it would have been better to just relax while playing on wii. (It is possible to do this but I'm not sure how senestive the wiimote is. I'd really need to test this out but no one I know who has a wii in my area... and I won't be able to get a wii myself for several months. (Mainly, saving up money and seeing if there's ever an actual shipment that doesn't vanish immediately.))abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I got my PS2 before Christmas actually back in 2000. I don't remember the demand for them after that initial rush. But what I *do* remember is that there were not stacks of unsold PS2's sitting there this close after Christmas.

Sony is taking a HUGE hit on the cost of the Blue Ray player in the $600 model. I don’t know if the price on that will drop anytime soon.

But heh, I want to know how the hell people can find PS3's in their cities so easily when they're out of stock here.

I saw two at the Target right across the street from where I work, and a stack at Best Buy.

Yeah, someone I know here at work has a Wii and they say you need to do the stabbing motions to swing a sword, and whatnot. To be honest... that would wear VERY VERY thin for me really quick. Sometimes I just like to sit, veg, and button mash. I do agree that is just a fad. I guess there are no regular type controllers and a replacement set costs $60 (I always maintain the more technical something is, the more likely it is to go out on you).

I hope I'm wrong. I am dying to play Half Life 2 eps. 1 and 2 on the PS3, as well as Oblivion.

Only time can tell what kind of Oblivion is actually slated for the PS3

I think he meant that Wii would be $400 if you bought all the controllers for it... and the accessories. *sweatdrops*

But yes, Wii is normally 250 dollars.

Remember when the intellivision costed that much. Then you could buy all the addons for it like the voice module, Then the computer for it and I think there was an option for the printer too and the cassette as well to save your basic programs. And the commodore 64 as well was like that and their components too.

Qix77 Wroteoes anyone remember how much the Genesis was when it first was released? I think it was $250 back then... That was with one controller and "Altered Beast".... Man... Talk about the good old days... I'm in a SEGA mood.. I think I'll pop up the Kega emu tonight... Still looking forward to the Wii... If I find one in my area, I'll give you guys my own full review... and pics... whoo-hoo.. :P

I think the Coleco also had the price range as well.... wow... We sure got the retro gaming history going on here.... I love it... I also miss it... What ever happened to the old games???? They sure don't make em like they use to... (God, I feel old.... but I'm still sooooo young... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.. lol)
