JamesD Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well, THEIR goal is to duplicate the popularity of the PS2. As I've said before I don't see it since they have stiffer competition and the competition is likely to come out with a next gen long before the PS3 can get to that level.

Seob Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's a though market. Nintendo is gaining a large market because they found them-self a new market in people that didn't play games before. Microsoft had a advantage because they introduced there next gen ahead of the market. But i don't think they will make profit on the 360. Mainly because hardware problems and the resent price drop. PS3 is just starting in a changing market, where highend graphics are taking competision against pure gameplay. They will catch on with the 360 sale but lose to the wii sales.

Reaperman Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I dunno, does anybody else look at the PS3 and say "wow that looks pretty awesome, I'd totally pay $100 for that!" That's the stage I'm at. I'd really probably go to $200, but let's not tell sony that... Sony should feel proud, I'm only willing to pay $50 for a wii. Given that reconditioned gamecubes are $30 nationwide, it hardly seems unreasonable... Edited March 28, 2008 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete5125 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 PS2 lucked out that DVD players at that point in time were very popular and few people had them. A DVD player was more than a PS2 plus the PS2 was backwards compatiable w/PS1. Also DVD's were not only cooler than VHS Tapes they were also cheaper than buying most VHS movies or close in price. The thing is their was a huge leap in graphics/sound from PS1 to PS2. The PS3 offers a movie format that few understand, I see them at Best Buy showing the comparison, and I am like look at that they are purposely screwing up the TV so that Blue Ray looks less blury. Don't get me wrong I was one of the fools that upgraded to HD-DVD last year. I think this year w/less confusion in the market PS3 may sell more units as Blue Ray players. I think the game system everyone wants is the Wii. I hear plenty of non-gamers talking about the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
