Just something that popped into my mind.

I mean if the DS is an indication of what's going to happen with the Rev, then there's a big chance of Sony's PS3 losing Japan to Nintendo's Rev, even though it has a BD drive( Japan being the biggest HD market).

Sony seems to have the west pretty much nailed down but in Japan gamers have another taste where the Rev's controller may seem more appealing. Now if Sony lose the Japanese market then Japanese devs will spend less recourses on PS3 titles and thereby remove Sony's edge over MS in the west.

I know that this is a worst case scenario, but do you think that this thought has scared Sony so much that it's looking into something that can counter the Rev in Japan?

Sony will just have to realize that the Rev's victory in Japan is set in stone. They still have Europe though.

If you look at the sales of the DS, then you would be able to come to the conclusion that the ps3 will totally destroy everything else everywhere. The DS sells so well because of it's fanbase from the Advanced/SP. It certainly wasn't because of launch games. If we look at that main FACT then we would come to the conclusion that the ps3 will sell more then the rev because of it's previous fanbase.

Apparently it is, considering there was a report that Sony was already in the works of developing a similar controller for the PS3.

Once the effect of the gimmicky Rev pds goes away, Rev willl fail. Its like somthing new so every body wants to Dev for it, but it wont last long. What about all the racing, fighting, sports game ETC that need a proper pad?? To play them you'll need to buy a new pad for the Rev...Milkage :(

Your Forgeting the PS3's price!

The Ps2 was alot more expensive then the dreamcast when it was released. The dreamcast also had a 13 month lead on the ps2. It still didn't stop them from quickly outselling the dreamcast when it was released though.

yes , they are scared , i think the revolution will compete with it , all it takes is another pokemon,brain training,nintendogs,animal crossing,and mario kart for the revolution and those wacky japanese gamers will buy all that crapolla up

it will be close , one way or the other ................ and the ps3 vs 360 battle will be close in north america and europe

[QUOTE="HeedleGlavin"][QUOTE="potatopotatoboy"] [QUOTE="HeedleGlavin"][QUOTE="potatopotatoboy"]

Just something that popped into my mind.

I mean if the DS is an indication of what's going to happen with the Rev, then there's a big chance of Sony's PS3 losing Japan to Nintendo's Rev, even though it has a BD drive( Japan being the biggest HD market).

Sony seems to have the west pretty much nailed down but in Japan gamers have another taste where the Rev's controller may seem more appealing. Now if Sony lose the Japanese market then Japanese devs will spend less recourses on PS3 titles and thereby remove Sony's edge over MS in the west.

I know that this is a worst case scenario, but do you think that this thought has scared Sony so much that it's looking into something that can counter the Rev in Japan?

Why of course, I can't wait for sony's version of the rev. controller

Sadly, an inevitability.


:DIt's not that revolutionary

Apparently it is, considering there was a report that Sony was already in the works of developing a similar controller for the PS3.

Umm.. that report was about a compandy that made an Rev inspired controller for the PS2.. Which basicly was an ordinary ps2 controller featuring the same crappy technology as the duck hunt gun...

If you look at the sales of the DS, then you would be able to come to the conclusion that the ps3 will totally destroy everything else everywhere. The DS sells so well because of it's fanbase from the Advanced/SP. It certainly wasn't because of launch games. If we look at that main FACT then we would come to the conclusion that the ps3 will sell more then the rev because of it's previous fanbase.

Your Forgeting the PS3's price!

The Ps2 was alot more expensive then the dreamcast when it was released. The dreamcast also had a 13 month lead on the ps2. It still didn't stop them from quickly outselling the dreamcast when it was released though.

If its under $500-$700 I will were a Sig that said I got Owned!

Thre is no doubt the Rev will sell well in Japan. But.. i belive that most people getting a Rev there will use a Ps3 as primary console and Rev as some sort of cheap secondary.. But.. if the PS3 would be too expensive (it most certainly won't) then sony will loose even in Japan...

[QUOTE="lucky_star"]I dont thinks so. Why? Just compare the sales of the last console war. lightmonkey

Dumbass, the same thing hardly happens twice. The past doesn't guarantee anything in the future.

I agree!

Nothing is decided yet. Revoultion could smash PS3 into a million pieces in the sales. We'll just have to wait until it comes out to see. Nice red x's by the way.:wink:

[QUOTE="AntUK15"]Once the effect of the gimmicky Rev pds goes away, Rev willl fail. Its like somthing new so every body wants to Dev for it, but it wont last long. What about all the racing, fighting, sports game ETC that need a proper pad?? To play them you'll need to buy a new pad for the Rev...Milkage :(

The deciding factor for any console is games and price...

The Revolution may have the price but games are nowhere in site....

The PS3 may have games but a price is nowhere in site....

It could very well happen, most Japanese thrive on technology/innovation and graphics aren't as important to them as much as it is to the West, and so-on.

The Revs price point and Innovative Technology (at least in the Video Game Industry) may well set Nintendo dominance [of Japan]  in stone.

And comparing Current-Gen sales will get you nowhere

Sony isnt afraid of the REV.. Because REV doesnt have "the multimedia functions" and "is only a game console"

Just like the PSP isnt for games, the games are just a function, and it shouldnt be played outside :lol:

I doubt it. Nintendo is not on the same level to tell the truth, as in Nintendo cannot steal their fanbase enough to be a threat.

I can see Sony losing the Japanese market to Nintendo this coming gen.  NA and Europe will more than make up that difference though.

I see why the rest of the boards insults the average System Wars forums(dumbasses). Someone comes up with a decent topic and fanboys gather and tear it apart. Sony should be scared/afraid of all competition that have the potential of taking away the spotlight. When a company become too complacent, too set in their ways, a competitor comes out of left field and catches them offguard. Just look at the ground the Xbox gained during its lifecycle. According to critics, the Xbox was suppose to be the next 3DO but look at the position of the Xbox camp these days. Now Nintendo has invented a innovative way to play games and could possibly take Sony in Japan. Of course Sony or MS will sit back and observe the success of Nintendo and its device and may decide to emulate the technology if it takes the world by storm.

The point of the matter is the Sony should never underestimate its competition.

Games On.......
