For those of you who thought nobody would buy the PS3 at Full price.......

[quote name='chaarlieee']I saw plenty of evidence more than a year ago. Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Versus XII, Devil May Cry 4, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 2.. it'll have all the same sports titles and other multiplayer games that the 360 will have.

The only obvious edge in games that the 360 has over the ps3 is Halo 3. :roll:[/QUOTE]

Let's drop God Of War 2 from your list, as it's a PS2 title. Backward compatible or not, I don't think that counts. Lets also add Gears of War to the 360 list, as I don't even own a 360 and that game has me interested.

As for the rest...aside from DMC, I wasn't interested in the originals of the games you listed, the 18th sequel sure doesn't do it for me ;)
 
[quote name='Corvin']Huh? Last I checked the HD-DVD add-on was $200 not $600.[/QUOTE]
I meant it would cost an additional $200, making your 360 cost $600--assuming you bought the premium.

I'm not trying to advertise the games to you. The point I'm making is that these games will sell. It doesn't matter if you or the next guy doesn't like FFXII or Metal Gear Solid 4, because millions of people do like these games.

As was said before God of War 2 is a PS2 title, so we drop that from the list. So is Final Fantasy XII.

PS3 has MGS4 - 360 has Halo 3
PS3 has Gran Turismo 5 - 360 has Forza 2
Devil May Cry 4 will be Multi Platform, just like Grand Theft Auto IV, Assassins Creed, Oblivion, Splinter Cell, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Phantasy Star Universe (oops ps2 vs. 360) etc.

And I havent even mentioned Gears of War, Mass Effect, Viva Pinata etc because honestly IMO there isn't anything in the PS3 lineup that can compete with those at this point.

Exclusivity isn't an issue anymore, it's dead this generation.

Roll your eyes all you want, but so far this 'next gen' the 360 does have the obvious edge so far.

Now in a year from now who knows...and at that time, I will look to purchase a PS3. After all isn't that when MGS4 will be released?
 
WHY does everyone argue if the PS3 will be successful! Sweet jesus STFU. People are going to buy the PS3 contrary to retarded beliefs ( aka Daddy) people are going to buy the system. GTF over it. end of story.

DMC4 is ps3 only. A 360 release was only speculation and nothing official has been announced. Resident Evil 4 is going to be on the 360 though.

I forgot to mention that the ps3 has far more support in terms of RPG's.

But who knows, maybe Atlus and Square Enix will make those same games for the 360 and Wii.

I agree about the RPG support, as the only RPG loving on the 360 I can get right now is Oblivion and Enchanted Arms (it's not very good, IMO)...Both being made for the PS3 as well...Hopefully with Mistwalker on board, like you said that will encourage Atlus and Square Enix to develop gmaes for the 360.

Until then, I have the PS2 and Devil Summoner and Tales of the Abyss this week...and my backlog! :)
 
why does this sort of thing always devolve into a flaming console war -_-.........................................................

Buy whatever console you want. What other people buy/you want to buy should not be grounds on which to debate. It's a fricking personal choice. God you guys are like those crazy christians at jesus camp trying to convert everyone.....

They're fricking game consoles, pieces of electronics.... soon to be obsolete in a few years. Get over it.

No, it's LIFE and DEATH! And if somone as opinion different from yours they are WRONG and possibly STUPID!

I hear ya though, sometimes you just want to stay on topic with saomething when you make apost and it devolves into chaos. There's hardly a thread in the Wii forums where someone's not yaking about $40 wiimotes or lack of component cables.

How about we let all the systems come out first before wasting our time arguing about their superiority?
 
[quote name='jkam']I don't doubt that the PS3 launch units will have issues. Even big old Ken mentioned how Sony's hardware was in decline. GREAT! All of that aside though its going to be a while before we see PS3s on the shelf in bulk. The cell processor chip has seen a higher failure rate than Sony expected. A lot of people seem to think the Blu-Ray drives will become cheaper to manufacture after a really short period of time. I think that would only happen if Blu-Ray catches on...which at this point I don't see happening at a rate that DVD did.

Now the Xbox 360 has a DVD drive which is cheap and it already has a new chipset in the works for 2007. This will allow them to drop the price of the console. This combined with a year to a year and a half worth of software available looks pretty good. If there aren't PS3s on the shelf in 2007 people will look in the 360's direction.[/quote]

Clarification on some of your points.....

First, Microsoft recently admitted that they downplayed the problems with the initial release of the 360 and reimbursed many people for the problem. So even if Sony does have release problems, they're certainly no different than any other console released in the last few years.

Supply is expected to catch up with demand in the spring. Once again, no different than the 360 from that viewpoint. I make the preceding points not to show that PS3 is somehow better, but that in your worst case scenario, Sony still faces no more obstacles than MS, who managed to overcome them just fine.

Certainly, no one really knows what effect a sudden influx of a few million Blu-ray players will have on the hi-def DVD market. It obviously can do nothing but help Sony's format and its market position.

The HD-DVD player is no cheaper than the Blu-ray from a total price perspective. Also, the installed base will not be there like the Blu-ray because the HD-DVD player is an optional piece of equipment. I would guess that Microsoft would consider it a success if 30% of the 360 owners bought a HD-DVD player. Even if that happens, there is still going to be a larger installed base of Blu-ray players in homes. While you are correct that there may be people who own PS3's that don't buy Blu-ray movies, there's absolutely no chance that a 360 owner will ever buy a HD-DVD movie if they haven't bought the player. It's much more likely that someone makes an impulse purchase of a Blu-ray movie when they have a PS3 than it is that someone goes out and buys a 360 movie player and HD-DVD movie. Having an installed base is always an advantage.

Exactly, I saw so many people in line on Tuesday morning that didn't know much about the PS3. Many of them want to buy a PS3 because it's the next playstation and they have to have it.

Also, peripheral add ons always fail, Turbo Graphx CD, Sega CD, Sega 32X, PS2 HDD. It seems that average joe is going to just buy a system and only get the neccesities it takes to play games.
 
[quote name='Zoglog']people who make more money than you?
Do you seriously think people who spend 100k on a watch or 100k on a home stereo system are going to give a fuck about $1200 for a game system? To these people thier time is far more valuable than that.

I swear, some of you spend way too much time at CAG and assume everyone is as cheap as you.[/QUOTE]

I spen very little time here first off second of all to more people than not $1,000+ for a video game is crazy($1,100 on ebay now). plus keep in mind that these stupid fucks are also going to get games,and extra controller probably to so given current pace $2,000 is not out of question for it all. that money would be great on a car,house,college education etc. I guess I am old school and was brought up to believe in what a dollar was,how hard it is to get,and how easy is to loose. therefore I use common sense. I will not be getting a ps3 probabbly in the next 2 years besides the fact my computer plays a lot of the same games and with one hell of a lot better graphics and cheaper total price
 
Everyone keeps complaining about how much the ps3 costs. Did anyone consider the ps3 is a BLU-RAY player and a SYSTEM, and it still costs less then a normal BLU-RAY player?
 
if they had a MASSIVE rpg game that lasted like 200 hours i would paid 600 bucks


would kicked ass DISGAEA 3 on PS3 first day. I would been all over that ps 3

Also,i'll do the math for you to get to actual amount.
ps3(60gig) 600+ around 40 tax=640
2 games=$760
extra remote=$35, total= $795

Is there really anthing else that is needed? Sure $795 is alot of money but like i said in my lastpost $795 is just about the cost of a BLU-RAY player
 
theres always some people willing to buy anything hot from elmo to neopets to playstation 3..its to exspensive for me I dont see myself buying one till a drop the games are 60? Thats not good either.

Yeah, but look at how great of a DVD player the PS2 was. Other companies would have no interest in the Blu-Ray market if Sony would slaughter everybody at retail with the PS3.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that the PS3 is a good system, and I think it will be, but it's something I'm more than willing to wait on.

I don't get what you're saying here. If you're saying the ps2 was a great dvd player, it wasn't. It's a horrible dvd player.

If you mean to say that it was a great dvd player because it played games.. well, the ps3 will do the exact same thing with BRD and games.

I"m looking at money to fun ratio for myself personaly and honestly...my 360 was a gooood buy in that department especially with all the goodness listed above out/coming out. I'm sure the PS3 will be a good if not great system though just to expensive for me right now.

exactly. EVERY game Chaarliee mentioned was a sequel. On the 360 front, I'll add Bioshock, the Darkness & Timeshift to the non sequel list. Not to mention Assassin's Creed, apparently with more complex AI than the PS3.

I love sequels as much as the next guy(hello Burnout!), but I want fresh stuff just as much, if not even more. So right now we are looking at almost a dozen [potential] AAA titles in the next year that are not sequels on the 360. These ALL look to be huge releases and not mediocre crap being rushed out the door just for quantities sake, which is what the PS2 excelled at.

Agreed, Gamecube didn't have any problem. PS2, Xbox, 360 all had problems upon launch. It's certainly pretty common as of late for launch systems to have some problems.
 
[quote name='Pylis']My point was that the PS2 was a horrible DVD player.[/quote]
The pre-SCPH5000 models weren't good for DVD movie playback because it lacked progressive scan support (just like the Xbox). Even though the post-SCPH5000 models do support progressive scan support for both games and movies, they lack newer features such as 720p/1080i upscaling. I doubt anyone's buying a PS2 for DVD movie playback now, but when it was released back in 2000, it was one of the most inexpensive DVD options for consumers (which is why I bought one at launch, and yes, it still plays both movies and games to this day just fine). I use an OPPO OPDV971H DVD player for movies now though (because of the upscaling feature and HDMI connectivity to my HDTV).

Eight days
Fatal inertia

That are exclusive? Because not all of the sequels Sony will be getting will be exclusive. (Though many of the better ones will be.)

Sony has God of War, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Ratchet and Clank, Sly, and a few others that are escaping me right now.

Still, MS has Halo, Ninja Gaiden, Forza, PGR, Fable, KOTOR, Blinx. Games that ID makes will likely all be XBox exclusive as well, so throw in Doom and Quake. I'm sure there are others, but I just can't think of them at the moment.

Really, my point is that both companies have plenty of games to offer, and MS has nothing to worry about on that front.

Polls have been for ages comprised of strategically phrased questions to produce an answer the pollsters desire. And now news media create stories around these devised polls. [Do you think the White House is doing a good job on the War on Terror? generally Libs will say "no" (because they don't like us being in Iraq) and Conservatives say "no" (because they don't believe we're doing enough) so the press gets what they want, a contrived story where the white house has a very low approval rating on the war on terror.]

The wording on this was deliberate and not accidental.

[quote name='robzilla']From the link:
This research, released first to Next Generation, was derived from a sample of 2,000 interviews Interpret conducted online [/QUOTE]
So a poll online where folks had to answer several branching questions. And the poll was found from what link off of what gaming or electronics site?

I challenge Interpret to go to one Wal-Mart in each state and ask the average consumer strolling through the electronics department if they will be spending $500-$600 for the ps3 and then $60-$100 for a single game to play. Maybe the results will be the same, but I'd feel they'd be a more realistic sampling of potential consumers.

Sony does not have Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, or Devil May Cry. Yeah, they announced MGS4, FF13, and DMC4 but that doesn't mean they're exclusive or even that future sequels will be exclusive. MGS 1 got an exclusive cube remake and MGS2 got an xbox port, FF XI is on 360 and Crystal Chronicles is on wii and capcom can do whatever they want with DMC. My point is you can't count on a third party series to be exclusive.

Heck, look at Resident Evil. RE 1 on ps1 only, then like 18 months later they make a saturn one. Then RE 2+3 on ps1 only. Then they make an n64 RE2 and Code Veronica gets DC only. Then DC gets all the ps1 games. Then ps2 gets CVX. Then its announced that REmake, 0, and 4 are exclusive to cube in addition to ports of 2, 3, and CVX. Then they decide to release RE4 to ps2 after all.

Also, keep in mind FF 1-6 was on nintendo systems while 7-10, 12-13 are sony systems.
 
The days of third party exclusive games is coming to an end. It's better business to develop a game and port it to more than one platform these days. Ninja Gaiden is coming to PS3 while the Final Fantasy series is coming to the Xbox 360. So what will seperate the systems are first party software. I think MS and Sony's first party studios are pretty much on par with one another. I think Nintendo has the edge when it comes to first party software at the moment.

That wasn't my point. I mean, I prefer the XBox 360 and would really, really prefer to see most, if not all, of these games and series get ported over. And since they're third party games, it is a possibility. But is it at all probable that Final Fantasy or Metal Gear will be coming to XBox anytime soon? Well, not really, unless the PS3 bombs royally. I'm looking at the relatively short-term here; who knows what will happen with these franchises further down the line?

Besides Final Fantasy XI I doubt you'll be seeing any other Final Fantasy games on the 360.

And I agree Nintendo is one up with the first party games, but they are too fucking stupid to use them. I swear, instead of releasing 2309432809234 different Mario spinoff games (mario ddr, all the mario sports) they should be making another real mario game, another luigi's mansion, another Zelda (only took like 5 years for TP to finally come out), another SSB (1 each console gen isnt enough IMO) etc etc.
 
Hype Hype and more Hype. Time will tell if the PS3 is overpriced. I know I'm waiting (anxiously) for the price to drop to about $300. Another thing I know is that a LOT of other people are thinking like me. I have an xbox360, and a PS2. I want a PS3 but I can wait.
 
[quote name='pinoy530']Sony does not have Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, or Devil May Cry. Yeah, they announced MGS4, FF13, and DMC4 but that doesn't mean they're exclusive or even that future sequels will be exclusive. MGS 1 got an exclusive cube remake and MGS2 got an xbox port, FF XI is on 360 and Crystal Chronicles is on wii and capcom can do whatever they want with DMC. My point is you can't count on a third party series to be exclusive.

Heck, look at Resident Evil. RE 1 on ps1 only, then like 18 months later they make a saturn one. Then RE 2+3 on ps1 only. Then they make an n64 RE2 and Code Veronica gets DC only. Then DC gets all the ps1 games. Then ps2 gets CVX. Then its announced that REmake, 0, and 4 are exclusive to cube in addition to ports of 2, 3, and CVX. Then they decide to release RE4 to ps2 after all.

Also, keep in mind FF 1-6 was on nintendo systems while 7-10, 12-13 are sony systems.[/quote]
The thing is the MGS GC game wasn't done by Kojima, but Silicon Knights, and the Xbox port of MGS2: Substance ended up causing Kojima to not like ports anymore. You notice how MGS3 was never released on another console, or even Subsistence?

The 360 got FFXI because of the easy porting of PC games to the system, not because they're thinking about bringing the Final Fantasy series to the 360. Crystal Chronicles is on the Wii doesn't mean much of anything either, as it's just a spin-off series just for the Cube.

As for Capcom's porting of Resident Evil, that just how Capcom rolls. Capcom rarely lets an exclusive stay exclusive for long.

There will still be plenty of exclusives for the PS3 as long as the 360 has trouble in Japan.

$300? It will be at least 3 full years after release until it even the lower-tier version PS3 is priced that low.

yeah.........
I don't even know why people considered the possibility that the price would prevent people from buying a PS3. Mainly in my opinion I feel people generalized thier own opinions to the general public. Either way, after the preorder sales and this report....[/QUOTE]

I can take a sample and think it reflects 9 million people to.
