Is History Repeating Itself?

The winning formula? Convincing parallels between the PS2 and PS3.

No console maker has ever dominated three consecutive platform generations. Atari squandered its head start in the 80s, Nintendo lost its near monopolistic stranglehold in the 90s, and now it's Sony's turn to pass the baton. Or is it? The PS3 may have seen its share of negative press lately, but Sony seems to be lining up a perfect repeat success of the PS2. The outlook for PS3 is actually not all that different as it was for the PS2 when it was first introduced in 2000. Don't believe us? Check out these examples of history repeating itself.

It's about time someone made an article that compared both the similarities and the dissimilarities. Most articles like this seem biased by only offering one side. Some of these points seemed to be pushing it though.

kmis876377d ago

Wait, did that other article just link to the second half of this one, the pessimistic half?

1. The PS3 is $600, that is a huge diffirence from the PS2's Price point!

also

2. The Xbox 360 is not going to go away like the Dreamcast!

TheMART6376d ago

Answer to your question:

Yes it will repeat.

PS3 will be the next dreamcast. This time Sony writes red marks and MS has the money, content and marketpower

Shadow6376d ago

Considering more PS3's sold in a day in Japan than 360's sold in 7 months... Its pretty safe to assume that the PS3 is going to have a larger base in Japan than 360. Its also safe to assume that there will be more japanese dev support for it than 360. Oh snap.

DEIx15x86376d ago

Japanese game stores are also selling NESs, Dreamcasts, and every other game console that has ever existed and the games to go along with it. Selling in Japan means nothing because a console can die everywhere and still sell in Japan. A few brand new Dreamcast games were even released in Japan last year. So how is the system dead if it still sells in Japan?

12Volt6374d ago

Good article, but inconsistant, for example, no unified online experience = incorrect. As well as coming off a slow PSP. Very wrong, because the PSP competes with Nintendo DS, which it got bonzaid, but did above expectation. In reality, the PS2 is still outselling X360 how the hell can you explain that?!

You can only take my ps2 broke so far.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord1613d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord1613d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai1613d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord1613d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
