The Wii took the spot of the casual/family consol that every house must have. And the 360 covered the hardcore gamers and the age range of 18+. The PS3 just can't get back the casual/family spot cuz of the price tag, $600 is just way high for a gaming machine, even $400 isn't cheap enough. So the only hope is to just fight the 360s spot head to head. But so far:

- Xbox 360 cheaper.

- Xbox 360 is much better in the gaming side.

- Xbox 360 has a much better online service.

- Xbox 360 is always the better home for the multi-plat games due to Live+Achievements.

So, who the hell is buying a PS3?

- Fanboys

- Rich people (prestige)

- Idiots (They either evlove into fanboys to justify their purchase, or sell it later for a 360)

- Whoever buys it as a blueray player.

Result = No PS3 titles in the last NPD's top 10.

So ya.. the PS3 is doomed.

Well I agree that the 360 is cheaper and has a better on-line, but I don't want a 360 I don't want to pay for on-line and I don't like the exclusive games that are for it. My little sister owns a Wii and I play that when ever I go home for the holidays. And I like the games for the PS3. I am not rich either or a fanboy. I saved up to buy a PS3. So your thread fails.

What a failure of a post.

Considering it's price point and lack of big name games (TEH HALO), the PS3 is doing excellently.

Next year lems will be struggling to hold on.

All I can tell you is, I have no interest in a 360 at this time, but want a PS3. There isn't one game for the 360 that I want.

Personally I see it more like :-

Wii is for ages 3+ and family fun, parties etc.

360 is for older children... 13-18 year olds those into HALO and swearing down headsets in online deathmatches.

PS3 is for adults and those who are still moreinto good singleplayer games or the occasional online match (nothing worth paying a yearly fee for as they tend to have less time for gaming these days). PS3 owners also tend to own good HDTV's and enjoy the odd blueray movie with their family:)

Casuals aren't buying the PS3 because the Sony casual popular games still aren't even out, no GTA and GT. Nintendo_Man

GTA's release will blow Sony out of the market. GH is an example.. the difference with GTA would even be worse with the exclusive contents + an expected price cut on the 360 just before its release. (I mean 2 years and only $50 cut?).

GT will just bomba.. racing games are just dying, much like the fighting genre.

As for MGS4, Konami will drool over DMC's numbers on the 360 and announce the port. Square-Enix will follow soon after.

Even Sony agrees when they sold their share of the CELL: "Lets just get over this gen with the least possible damage".

You just called me a rich fanboy that's an idiot. I bought a PS3 for playing games and I'm not rich, I have a job with a friend of mine and that's how I get money at my age and I don't play movies on it because I don't have an HDTV. If you ask me, you're a biased person.
