PS3 already considering price drop?

There's a reason why Nintendo dominated when I was a kid. F the playstation. F the X-Box. F Sega. F Colecovision. F Atari.

Nintendo's just way more innovative. I'm so partial to them, I'll never buy anything else.

Wii!

From available games standpoint Nintendo 64 and Gamecube sucked compared to Playstation 1 and 2 IMO.

won't happen. I personally wouldn't mind it but I just can't see it when Sony is already severely undercutting their partners on the Blue-Ray dvd player production by selling the PS3 for $500 & $600 and the cheapest u can get a stand alone blueray dvd player is $1000. There has to be some sort of language in the contract between them that says Sony can only undercut the stand alone players but so much or atleast they should have.
The price is a big hurdle for people but another huge one is actual games. I mean when out of the first 20 titles for the system, 14 have been out for the 360 already between 1-10 months before their release on the PS3 and look almost identical, that's a big hurdle to overcome. I'll get one in a couple years if Blue Ray is doing well or when games like FFXIII and God of War 3 come out, but until then I'm good with my dvd trade in bought 360 and my PS2.

nintendo innovative? yes the wii is but throughout history hell no. they tried to get by by making mario games for 20 years and that got old as hell

They f-ing better. The only game worth a crap on that system is Resistance.


AMEN! Madden 07 is str8 but WTF it better be FOR 600$! Well, come to think of it, for 600$ it might as well suck me off. HAHAHA

You really have to look at what you get for $600. You get WIFI, 60GIG HD, free online play and a Blue-Ray player. Not to mention a great gaming system. The only reason why I don't own a system right now and probably a lot of people is not because of the price but because there aren't games worth playing.

Sony isn't going to prematurely discount the system. They are going to wait and see how the system sells after the great games they have scheduled for release come out.

Once the PS3 has been out for a year, we'll know which console will be crowned king of the gaming jungle.

Good points. The PS3's current lineup of games is crappy, really crappy. Maybe after Metal Gear Solid 3 comes out or one of the other 1000 titles they have working but, like you said. Until they release the games, its not worth the money. I also heard somewhere that Capcom and Hideo Kojima(creator of MGS series) have moved over and will create some of their more flagship Sony titles to XBOX360 i.e. MGS, Resident Evil. etc.

I used to hate the orig. XBOX cuz I owned a PS2. Now I have a 360 and I love it. Just love it. Add MGS and Capcom titles too the 360, and i may NEVER go back to Sony.

Now the Wii on the other hand is a totally different animal. Man I would KILL to get my hands on one!

the wii is blowing ps3 out of the water

did anyone not see this coming? I mean they severely missed their price point. A coworker and I had a whole discussion about this before the console came out and voila here it goes. I'd love to say I am some technology sage but this wasn't hard to see. They basically priced the console as twice as good as xbox when no reasonable evaluation puts it that far ahead and xbox360 already had a year jump on their library. Then of course the Wii came from nowhere and has made it even worse. Another patented Sony f*ck up. They always seem to do this. Lead the charge on innovation and then get too big for their britches and start 'pioneering' proprietary products that get beat in the market because of price. You'd think they'd learn. They're gonna lose on Blue Ray too. Its the same song new tune.

Lots of good points!

1: Spot the hell on....my thoughts exactly. WTF were they thinking? I mean, I know that 60% of this country is overweight and all but, that doesnt make us dumber, does it?

2: Remember when PS2 came out? Almost the same situation as now. DVD's were pretty new-ish at the time and people scoffed at the PS2 but still bought it because there was NO competition. They thought even with the 360 on the market they could come out and repeat. WRONG! I wouldnt be surprised if this royally screws Sony to the point where they stray away from videogames.

I believe in the end 360 is going to be king of the gaming jungle. The thing that will put them there is Xbox Live. It is awesome and I am just a casual player. Sony has not built anything close to the Live format. I love how you can talk with people, compare games, track achivements, watch movies, and the acarde is ****ing awesome! I was a huge PS2 fan but towards the end I was playing more Xbox. If MGS, RE, and Gods of War come out on 360, goodbye Sony.

I also love how Nintendo has bursted back on the scene. I have sold my Xbox and PS2 but I still have my Gamecube, N64, and NES all still have games that are enjoyable to re-play. Mario Party with a bunch a friends is a good time! Plus they kick ass on hand helds! The PSP is a joke it is all PS2 games dumbed down and if you have bouhgt a UMD movie god bless you. I will say I have not played MGS PO on it yet. I am thinking of picking it up today, just because I love the series.

I guess in the end we will see but I would put my money on 360. Microsoft was backed into a corner by Sony and they have come out swinging!
