Sony has already lost market share and exclusives.-- FACT

There are factors here that are were not present in other system wars:

360 has a 8 million unit lead.  There price is $200 less than  Sony.

360 has HUNDREDS of games in its library-- some of which are AAA here in GS.

Nintendo has a 4 million unit lead-- there price is $350less than Sony.

The question is now, how much will Siny lose of install fan base?
FACTS
Sony has less than 50 games available right now.
None of them have are AAA on GS.
Motorstorm does not have offline multiplay--you cant play with your brothers at home.
Sony continues to lose exclusoves to the 360 install base

There is no lost until atleast 1-2 years after. Its the same people like threadmaker that hated on the PS1 and the PS2 and as they slaughtered the competition, people like this watched their feeble arguments explode in their own faces. /thread.

It's way to early to tell what you're writing off as "facts".

Casuals are still playing their PS2's. As if they're going to pay so much money for a next gen console when the big guns like GTAIV, GT5, Halo 3 etc aren't even out.

You sound like a fanboy and not an educated consumer or gamer.

I've owned a PS1 and TWO PS2s (One broke down--I admitally played the hell out of it for 3 years).

I'm stoked about God Of War 2 which will be AAA.

I'm just mad that Sony decided if I wanted the PS3 then I needed to buy a Blu-Ray player too.

Its no doubt in my mind that if PS3 had no Blu-Ray it would have made launch-- cost the same as the 360 and would be far in the lead by now.

Sony-- take out Blu-Ray and charge $399. I'll by a PS3 and so would many others!

What under my fact sheet was not a fact?

They do not have AAA on GS right now.

They have and are loosing exclusives to the 360

Motorsport has no off-line multiplayer

There are less than 50 titles for the machine right now

Yes, we are aware of this, but is' 4 months, man.  4 months.  A baby can't even be born in that amount of time, let alone anything really big impact a console yet.

When DMC, MGS, HS, and the other big name titles come out, Sony will probably get a lot of consoles sold, and we'll see where exclusives go from there.

Sony hasn't lost anything, nor has anyone lost anything yet. In terms of war whatever you wanna call it.

But what Sony has lost is they huge gigantic lead they had in the console market.
They went from outselling their opponents at a minimum of 4 to 1 to now where if they even win this console war which is now feeling more and more like something debatable... they will do so by a small margin. They'll be lucky if they are with a 2 to 1 lead in terms of consoles sold over the Wii or 360 at the end of the gen's cycle.

And with that Sony has to take the blame for it. They will bounce back and win in my opinion but the gigantic lead they had before will be next to nothing when the next gen of systems come out. I believe the next gen is when Sony will finally be dethrowned thanks to how then handled the PS3 IMO...

In just four months the PS3 has been on magazine covers like EGM with a headline story that Sony and the PS3 are not doing so well in sales, company image and losing  exclusives is  definately a  sign that  3rd party publishers favor the  Xbox 360.

Fanboy. Not even close. I buy every console that drops and play it to death. Of the next gen consoles, I currently only have the 360, with a Wii in the near future and a PS3 around xmas.

 that's why i'm a sheep. since nintendo is only a VIDEO GAME COMPANY, they don't try to force their formats on you (CD, DVD, Blu-ray, UMD). i understand that it worked for the PS2 (DVD), but i'm not sure if Blu-ray will. So far, Sony is 2 for 3 (can we agree now that UMD is a failure?).

Sony has lost its bond rating too. It went from the highest credit rating (AAA) to (AA). Its like its game scores.

Plus,

Howard Stringer-- the new CEO closed down 7 Sony factories and fired 10,000 employees.

Then Stringer put Blu-Ray in the PS3-- caused the delay and raised the price.

Sony is losing. Losing in court over dead batteries and stealing RUMBLE.

Sony is losing $200 for every PS3 sold.

personally, it is fun to see Sony eat a big chunk of humble pie after that crazy outburst in 2005, but we need to keep MS in line, (horse armor anybody?) so I hope they pull back and get at least some damn good games out that give gears a run for its money, competition is good.

if they did take out the $200 bluray drive i probably would buy a ps3. but once again, GOW2 is still a ps2 game.

no, i don't own any last gen systems but i am thinking about getting a 360. i need to get my shooters and RPGs somewhere. i seriously wouldn't buy a PS3 for $399 tho. if i had a HDTV that did 1080p and knew that blu-ray would win the format war, i'd consider it. but beside that, i'd probably have to say no.
