i see nothing other then that. i just think people are mad because it cost to much broke people always talk **** i bet if it would have launched at 300 people would have been like the ps3 is the **** f wii and 360. sad aint it.
Unfortunately, those are two very big problems. Hopefully sony can entice people to buy ps3's during E3 --> develop userbase and get more developers to make games --> get even more sales --> drop the price. As it stands now, Sony's stuck in a situation that's almost completely opposite.
the PS3 isnt that much more then 360, with the PS3 you get free online service. which is $50s a year on XBox, so after 4 years of gaming, the PS3 is the same price. consoles normally last about 6 years (7 at most). so in the end the PS3 is cheaper.
The PS3 has plenty of games, there's just this weird notion that so long as it's on the 360 or PC too, it's mute. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, The Darkness and Rainbow Six: Vegas came out in the last two weeks alone. Preceding those were Oblivion, Resistance, Motor Storm, Ridge Racer 7 and Virtua Fighter 5.

So why should I necesarrily get a PS3 then when I can get those games on either a substantially cheaper platform or substantially cheaper on a different platform?

If you want those multiplat games, there's no reason to get a PS3, and that's one of Sony's biggest problems right now. They're getting PS3 sales from people who want a Hi-def movie player, casuals with brand loyalty, and cows who are willing to "invest" and wait. Once some good exclusives for PS3 come out (other than resistance) then it will be a different story, but for now it makes sense that the PS3 is selling poorly.

hahaha its a shame they are dropping the price and all the games start pouring in before x-mas funny aint it lemming
from $600 to $550? yeah that will convince the masses :lol: And a price drop hasn't been confirmed yet so you fail once again
you would be suprised how much people will buy something with a 100 price drop so u fail lemming and its been confirmed already dont be sad when your 360 dies in 2 hours

Why not indeed? But the matter at hand isn't about what I can get on other platforms, it's about what is and what isn't available for the PlayStation 3. Not everyone owns a 360 and/or a decent gaming PC, as well as a PS3. That's the user's gaming situation which is to blame, not the PS3 as a console.
So saying "the PS3 has no games" is un-true. What is true though is "the PS3 has no games, but only if you already own a PC or 360". THAT's the big difference in the argument.

Dont forget the $30 extended warranty that you MUST buy with a new 360.

Yes, but we're discussing the inherent flaws of the system thats keeping it from obtaining a larger base. In retrospect, my statements that it has no games are entirely founded. It really doesn't have any games that would prompt one to chose it over another system.

that was the 20 gig the 60 gig sold the most so if a 60 gig drops to that price sales will blow up, its weird how the most expensive one outsells the cheap one aint it

A man walks into a doctors office. The doctor tells the man to sit down and says, "Sir, there are two things wrong with you." The man replies nervously, "What is it?" The doctor says, "You have brain cancer and your heart is about to explode any second" The man says, "is that all?" The Doctor replies, "I see nothing other than that." With a sigh of relief the man says, "well at least there's 'only two things wrong'"
