PS3 Sucking

I have a Wii. :D My sister at home loves it, and so do I. I definitely wouldn't have guessed the lovechild of PS2 and the new gen Blu-Ray technology would not be able to live up to its hype. Blu-Ray's life is definitely in danger if the PS3 can't raise its sales:yelsick:

But then again, Sony made the MiniDisk. I know, cause I bought one of those pieces of shit.

I bet price as a lot to do with it too.

The Wii is so much fun though, I can see why it is so popular.

Price is still keeping me away. That and the fact that the first generation PS2s were garbage, with bugs that needed ironing out.

And I don't think there's a GT5 yet is there?

Done with high-end graphics, done with spending a fortune on hardware to keep up with PC gaming. I burned a fat stack of money years ago just to be able to play Half Life 2 and when I finished the game I felt sorely disappointed. Games that followed required even more horsepower to render graphics and keep up with the physics engines. I got fed up and decided that the pretty/shiny/sparkly world of high-end gaming wasn't worth it, anymore, and it happened that Nintendo had very good timing.

I ditched the PC as a gaming platform in favor of a Wii and a Powerbook. In the [very] distant future I may consider a PS3, but it would have to take a serious price cut and even then I find myself leaning much more towards the 360 for online gaming and range of game titles. For now, I find the Wii to be an immense amount of fun and I'm really looking forward to the new releases this year, both new games and old NES titles on the virtual console.

I find it amusing that we received a PS2 as a gift for Christmas this past year, as did some of my friends. For a system so old, it still gets a surprising amount of play thanks to the titles released for it. The thing still sells really well.

Who cares.

freshnesschronic does. That wasn't obvious? He's the one that posted the poll.

good point.

What's wrong with video games?

grrrr.. voted wii, voted wrong, stupid poll, stupid poorly worded question and poll choices.

Most *consoles*.... xbox360.

most increase in market share -- wii

Most fun -- Wii

Most profit -- wii

Most unit sales -- Nintendo DS.

I read the title, voted my favorite, Wii, and clicked GO! just before I read DS... rats. Seriously, the DS will have the highest unit sales.

I'll go with my PC. I know how to keep it updated without blowing an arm and a leg.

If you don't care for video games can you at least have respect for other people and not comment on it?

Why, you don't respect my opinions, do you?

I've been a bit burnt out on games for a while. Though, playing stuff like Oblivion and Gears of War on my brother's 360 almost convinced me to buy one.

You know your gamer credentials are in jeopardy when you'd rather read a book, go outside, or work instead of playing a video game.

If you had an opinion other than "who cares" I would. If you don't like any type of video game and stated why, I would respect your opinion entirely even though I may or may not disagree with it. How you said it makes you come off as condescending to Fresh and everyone that has an opinion on this topic, which is why I said something.

:neutral:
I have an opinion, I'm sure Merc is just like my parents and comes from the generation who doesn't understand or appreciate video games. It's just a generation gap, that's all, no biggie. Different times, different styles, different attitudes.

I like games on computer better than any console. I don't even think some of my favorite games are available for any of those systems.

DS will sell the most. I have a DS, play a lot of Chess and Backgammon.
I am looking into Wii for myself and my son. The only console that is good for older and younger players.
I have not had a console since SuperNintendo.

Ok Rk, Wii is like reliving the SNES all over again. I know, because its the system I grew up on. What digital paradise, :)

It is quite simple: PS3 was overengineered. Geeks and nerds who want more powerful graphics have Alienware with ATI Radeon 9900+ already. They don't really need another powerful game console to go along with it.

Ehhhhh I dunno. I wasn't expecting this from the PS3, the successor to the best selling console in gaming history, the PS2. I expected huge things from the PS3, just because of the PS2. Now Blu-Ray technology is gonna die out and Sony will have to wait another 5 years for the next next generation. It seems they are to stubborn to decrease the price when they observe their units not selling well. But by then the 360 and Wii will have the market and buyers will now be wary of Sony's new console. Remember the Nintendo GameCube? Remember the Dreamcast? History repeats itself, and the public will have little interest and faith in the PS4.

So blu-ray is losing the format war? HD-DVD is winning?

PS3 demonstrates a problem that all knowledgeable computer users also understand. We just don't know how to utilize multiprocessor programming. Intel is about to release an 80 processor chip for use of programming researchers (does not use standard Pentium machine code). PS3 suffers from same. An early demonstration required code from a researcher in Waterloo Canada because multiprocessor programming proved too difficult for PlayStation engineers. PS3 is part of a pioneering effort into uncharted computer programming research. As usual, software is again playing catch-up to hardware.

Well put.
