lol Enjoy your one game. Oh yeah, on a side note, isn't it funny how PS3 fags like to rag on 360 as a "shooter system" with no RPGs and whatnot, and yet, the only big PS3 exclusive is an FPS?

The only reason it sold was because for some, that one game is enough.

(bought it for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection).

I bought a PS3 because I have the money. It's an upgraded PS2 which is the dominant system of the decade. Its only flaw is its price as a result of the useless BD playability. Of course, I can't complain, because as I said... I have the money. I've already more than made up for the investment, and now I have a machine that plays every PSX and PS2 game, has arguably the best performance and therefore is excellent and/or the best choice (if you have it) for multiplatform games, will play some highly anticipated exclusives in the future, and is capable of playing BD movies just in case one of those winds up in my hands. I've got nothing to complain about. However, I don't consider myself selfish and I would really like to see the system made more affordable still, even now that it no longer affects me. If you want to insult me for owning a piece of entertainment hardware, go right ahead. Although I don't see what the point or reason would be.

AMERICAN HARDWARE SALES, MAY 2007

DS: 423,150
Wii: 338,278
PSP: 221,120
PS2: 187,765
360: 154,932
PS3: 81,604
GBA: 80,554
NGC: 10,728

This is the first month so far that PS3 managed to outsell the GBA. Unit sales alone will dictate the success of a console, because the more people that buy a console, the more games will be sold for said console. Fanboyism aint gonna save the PS3 now, and neither will the games. Its the first time in a long time ive seen a major console released, that didnt sell out in a single shop.

Quite sad really, sony used to be cool

Because EVERYONE wants one, including Aunt Bea and Grandpa Joe. If were just gamers wanting them then there would be no shortage. However, you have everybody and their fucking cat salivating over it, so they sell out fast. The motion sensing technology also makes it harder to produce quickly, I hear, but that could just be bullshit.

Also, I'm posting this from my Wii. Jealous?

The technology in the Wii isn't new, nor is it difficult to make. Fuck, the PS3 has it (Blue Tooth motion sensor? Check!), just not 360 degrees worth.

The Wii is also sold out because my store only gets 3 at a time... every month. So fuck Nintendo and their selfish marketing strategy. At least Sony makes something new, with features that actually make it different than the last generation. Microsoft just makes an updated Xbox, and Nintendo throws in an accessory for SOME games as the entire fucking console.

I like how you call 360 just an updated Xbox, but talk about the PS3 like its some fucking revolution in comparision. Must be the "revolution" of Blu-ray" or its revolutionarily high price tag. Keep in mind that they, you know, fucked up half the features of PS3 originally, and are now blantantly ripping off Ninteno and Microsoft's ideas. Go ahead, TRY to say that they didn't just pull that crappy tilt fuction out of there ass when it caught on with the Wii, and maybe if they could have actually done there online capabilities right in the first place, they wouldn't be trying to rip off all of 360's online features right now.

after a year and a half you'll say the 360 is older, wait and compare then... you realize the ps3 will never catch up with the 360 in terms of age right?! Time doesn't work that way dude. So either compare now or compare never
>> Anonymous
It is an updated Xbox. Primarily Shooters: Check. XBOX Live: Check. Anything new?.... did someone forget something.

I like the 360. I own one. It's nothing new, it's just updated.

PS3, while not revolutionary, is certainly different than the PS2. It introduced the Six-Axis as a side job, which adds depth and interest to games that would otherwise just use a different button. Now, you can actually fly planes, or not. You can beat people up in Godfather with motion, or not. It's subjective, and chosing either choice isn't a bad thing. With the Wii, chosing not to use the Wiimote makes it another Gamecube, except not superior to either of the other systems in any way.

You only get three at a time because they're filling the insane demands for the thing all around the world. Remember, EVERYONE wants one, and it's cheap enough compared to the other systems that it's actually a feasible purchase for people that can't afford three BMWs a year. Where the hell in the US do you work, anyway, Asscrack, USA? My store has been seeing at least 6 to 9 come in, and we're slow as hell.
>> Anonymous
Well, all it basically comes down to is, if you are looking forward to nothing but multiplatform releases and a rare exclusive, then go ahead with PS3. Rant all you like on how its so superior a system (which it isn't) and go ahead and try to say that it will suddenly start doing better, and draw tons of irrelevant and inaccurate comparsions to the successful launch of PS2. But if you actually buy systems to, you know, play games on them, then maybe you should consider consoles besides PS3. Its the most expensive, has the least games (and exclusives) coming out and has the worst set up of all three systems (yeah, its online is set up like absolute shit). And its showing no signs of making some miraculous jump in sales or third party support.

there are 3 best buys and 2 eb games near my house. Fry's is about 15 miles away.

The 3 best buys get 9-11 every other sunday or something like that, the eb's get between 7-14 every week, and I'm not sure about Fry's, but one interesting thing about it is that there were 34 PS3's sitting on the shelves at Frys before last Christmas. My friends and I counted, and yes it was sad.

My city and surrounding cities are well above average income and most people here no matter what age can afford just about anything.

example: my next door neighbor has a ferrari enzo. so yeah, we're well off here

anyway, I own all 3 consoles

All of the stores around me are sold out of wii's every week, and each store has plenty of ps3's in stock. Last week was a good week for ps3's at best buy because they sold 14 units. That was the most sold in one weeks time since last year in a single store around here.

Seeing as how most everyone here can afford a ps3, it's not even a money issue anymore, it's a lack of games issue. I know two people that have a PS3 and own no games.

I'm not saying it's a bad console, I'm just pointing out money isn't the only thing that's hurting it. Also, I think that the Wii is not meeting demand because it's just that popular. There's no evidence that Nintendo is keeping supply low for any reason.

What's the easiest way to get a Wii? I've been trying to get one for months now. :(

Don't get me wrong, I don't want it 'cause it's a fad, I want it for Brawl and Prime 3 only. I'd gladly pay 250 for those 2 games alone.
>> Anonymous
The way I see it PS3 has only one game thats coming out in the near future thats going to be worth it and thats Metal Gear Solid 4. All the other games like Mercenaries 2, GTA 4 and many more are both for PS3 and 360. So there really, really is no fucking reason for this shitty ass excuse for a console. 360 is much better simply for Mass Effect, Bioshock, Too Human (not that exited for that one mind you) and a whole slew of other games coming out. That and the Wii is loads of fun even without being a graphical powerhouse. So I just want to know one reason why you would pay so much money for a shitty console thats no better than the 360 and has no promising games coming out for it? If you bought a PS3 you might as well just kill yourself. Later bitches.

*off to kill some zombies in Dead Rising*

*or maybe chainsaw a fucker in Gears of War*

*better yet maybe I'll just cruise around Saints Row in the only kick ass recent GTA clone out for next gen consoles*
>> Anonymous
*currently playing RE4 Wii edition

Nothing feels better than using the wii remote for shooting zombies in the face. If you played Red Steel and thought that was what shooters were going to play like on the wii, get RE4, it's fucking amazing and shows that the wii will be perfect for our beloved fps's.

Now if only they would get a good RTS going... I think the wii remote could handle the click and drag pretty well >:D
>> Anonymous
>>561465

Basically nailed it. Oh yeah, btw, 360 is a "shooter box" like the original with none of your RPGs. Keep telling yourself that, Sony fags. Ironic, then, that it has more RPGs (and more exclusive ones, at that) coming to it than either of the other consoles.

Call everywhere, every day, between 11am and 1pm. Just ask if they have Wiis. Don't ask when they will have some, because they have been instructed not to tell people that, whether they know or not. Be nice to them even if you are irritated, as you are probably the fiftieth call they have had about the console. I've said "no, we don't" to mean people out of spite. :)

Dreamcast was the most underappriciated system of all time. Sega should do something crazy and re-release it out of nowhere for $40 or something. "Not nearly as good as the other consoles; but a hell of a lot cheaper!" Hell, it'd be better than seeing more crap like Sonic 360/PS3.
>> Anonymous
dreamcast was very underappreciated

I feel partly to blame for it's downfall because I didn't purchase one. At the time, I just didn't have the money/desire for one because I was too busy with other stuff. The release timing/marketting didn't do it justice, and when the system doesn't break out of the gates well, the entire life of the system suffers, and in dreamcasts case, since it was segas last resort, it was killed quickly. Since the PS3 is not Sony's last resort, and because fanboys do a lot for system sales these days, the PS3 won't die like the dreamcast did.

Motion sensing dipshit. Think of it.

The PS3 can recognize 6 different motion directions.
THE EXACT SAME as the Wii remote.

There are only six possible motions that each controller can detect. They both detect six. They both have similar technology.

The only reason you spout shit about the Wii one being better, is because Nintendo are baegging developers to utilize it. Wait till games like Lair and Warhawk come out, and then tell me the Wiimote is better ;)

PS3 Sixaxis Tilt = tilt forward/backward, left/right, and yaw

Wii remote calculates, Tilt forward/backward, left/rigth, and yaw PLUS moving in EACH of those directions, PLUS the fuckin pointer function. lets see your controler respond to shaking it

PS3 = Horizontal. Left to right
Vertical. Up and down.
Rotation. Spin left and right.
Pitch. Tilting up and down
Yaw. Controller pointing left and right.
Acceleration. Backwards and forwards.

Tell me what else the Wiimote can do that isn't shown above. Since that's whay SIXAXIS is. The EXACT same movements as the Wiimote.

It doesn't calculate shit more, it just use's more sensitive movements in the games that are necessary. The exact same is possible on the PS3, just not done yet

it's true the NEWER ps3 controllers detect movement, not just tilt, however they still don't have a pointer function. or data transfer capability, such as the Wii's Mii characters.

Not to mention you add the nun chuck to the Wii remote, you just gave it a SECOND separate tilt sensor, think of the combinations.

overall, the Wii remote is still better
