Everybody expected the PS3 to sell amazingly in Japan, Sony must be well shocked.... The 360 sold badly in Japan and we all thought it was because it was an American machine and the Japanese were waiting for the PS3... Well we were all wrong, I don't even think its no good games or anything like that, I just think theres a tide of change where everyone there have had enough of graphics and the like...
Well done Nintendo. A pat on the back for them.. After being behind in the console wa...
They'll sell a shxt load more 360s in Japan. There ll be yet another reason not to buy a PS3. Oh and the makers of the game will make a shed load of money!
Oh and there will be a huge thread on N4G with fanboys Mumping or Gloating....
You guys just know nothing about business what so ever. The Core is well important, Nstott is right in what he says above.
Not everyone in the world has access to or can afford broadband especially in developing countries. The core will enable MS to get to a $100 to $130 price point.
Its without doubt the way Microsoft can win on price.
Not everyone in the world is a hardcore gamer. We know its better and cheaper in the long run to buy the premium, but the average (aint ...
So u guys are playing them while giving us all your wisdom, play games...
But agreed these numbers dont mean shxt.... Its Christmas this year thats going to count...
Get this working then get sum SNES, Megadrive, Gameboy Emulators on top of Windows then you may have more than 3 decent games to play...
Sarcasm, look it up!
Just kidding...
Honest..
Euro PS3 launch causing stock issues in US, says Sony = Oh my, Id better get out and buy one before they are all gone.
What a complete load of PR BULLSHXT!!!!!!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You will have to wait yet again for that number to be reached...
Please, theres no way those graphics are possible on any console this gen... Use common sense.
When disney pixar etc make the next cgi movie can someone just send them their £400 PS3, so they can stop using their million pound graphics set up they have right now...
Seriously itll be the same as always, it may be a well good game when it comes out but to think it ll av those kind of graphics DREAM ON..
Oh and I borrowed a CDi system from 1990s which had amazing in gam...
I dont thing a big price drop will happen this year all the same...
Microsoft will win the price game and Sony knows it.
Sony lowering the price by £100 or $ and thats exactly what Microsoft will do straight after. Sonys pretty much back to square one then and losing even more money per console.
Its a very risky thing to do at this stage. I say spring 2008...
This is awfull news for SONY. If other stores follow it wont be long that its reported in the papers that the PS3 isnt doing so well.
After just 1 week on sale, the price is dropped...
I really dont get ppl saying that WHSmiths is doing this to get ppl into the store. Theres a hundred other things they could cut the price of to do that.. You know, something that everyone wants not just the few who has £400 to buy a PS3... They buy that they aint got shxt left TOO buy anyth...
I think everyones got Amnesia 'Amnesia is a condition in which memory is disturbed. The causes of amnesia are organic or functional. Organic causes include damage to the brain, through trauma or disease, or use of certain (generally sedative) drugs.
Functional causes are psychological factors, such as defense mechanisms. Hysterical post-traumatic amnesia is an example of this. Amnesia may also be spontaneous, in the case of transient global amnesia. This global type of amnesia is more...
In the second week, no wonder they are dropping the price... On another thread it was said that an 82% drop in the second week aint to bad as they are still selling such and such a week...
82% fall in the second week IS BAD... Dropping the price in the SECOND WEEK only adds to it... Its not looking good.
As if its a given that Sony will stay at 30 thousand a week. Its dropped off 82% come on guys, after 1 week, yes just one week. I thought with all the press ads posters word of mouth, it would take at least a month to drop off that much...
Its not good fullstop..
Haters...? You can dress it up as much as you want a drop of 82% in the second week is awfull for Sony.
Its 82% remember not 30 50 or even 60%...
Hey if you ask me its a good thing, everyone has always complained about the PRICE and now it seems we were correct, Sony is just asking to much for their console. Price drops galore, alot sooner than anyone predicted.
Oh, and I aint a hater, I think with a built in Blu-ray player the PS3 is quite good value, but Im a Hardcore ...
But why not then just drop the cores price... More ppl see the lower price and jump on board.. Ill say it again, the Core will NEVER be dropped.
Oh and Microsoft does make an advantage off the core money wise, that will get more so when theses consoles are going to be £99..
The CORE is there for the microsoft advantage.... It well never ever be dropped.
I have said this for ages now... Microsoft will never give up on the Core pack as theyll always have a price advantages over Sony by NOT including a hard drive...
Xbox360 will be the 1st to £199, £149 and the 1st to £99. Price really will make all the difference in the long term.
1...SEGA with Dreamcast was a big company quite a bit of cash, Sony is a bigger company with a whole load of cash, Microsoft is a stupidly rich big company WHO AINT GOING ANYWHERE.
The one with the most money will win. They always do.
Please note the word (always)... Yes Im sure youll point out 1 or 2 times out of MILLIONS of times where the one with the most cash didnt win, but hey thats obvious isnt it?
If I had to pick Id say I prefer the slightly darker 360 look..
Anyhows the thing that bugs me is everyone on this site NOW expects the 360 and PS3 dual format games to look roughly equal...
How mad is that? I remember 8 months back being led to believe by SONY, The FANBOYS and most of the PRESS to expect the PS3 games to blow away 360s...
HOW WRONG CAN YOU BE!!! Even the Xbox360 fans were worried.. Come on, admit it, you really was...
I know all the excuses, 1st g...
Sony wont drop the price unless they are extremely desperate and the PS3 sales drop to a crawl. Sony lose around £200 per console they sell. They ain't getting alot back with games sold as the attach rate is terribly low. Lowering the price of the PS3 will be falling right into Microsofts hands.
If PS3 drops by £100 so does the Xbox360. This is what Microsoft wants Sony to do and Sony know it.. Microsoft can afford a price war, they have an amazing attach rate and they lose ...
