Do you feel "Pushed"???

Yesterday i was reading one of those GAMER magazines...and i felt this awful feeling i was getting sucked in, and basically forced to buy a next-gen system.  All the good games that get your attention, are all next gen systems.  And yes, i know that the new wave of consoles is now, but still the ps2 ain't dead. As a matter of fact, the best selling system still to this day, is the ps2...so why forget about it so quickly??  when the ps3 came out, more people bought ps2 consoles, so why the rush??

 If what they want is for everyone get a next-gen console please, lower the price, quality games and we are all happy...but don't start bombarding us with this subliminal propaganda in order for us to buy your pricey consoles.  Yes, it's been like 6 or 7 years since the ps2 debut and upgrades need to be made, but The ps2 saved sony's christmas sales this past year, have some respect for the ps2.

Well I thought the Wii was the best selling system right now ? I still do have my PS2 and I am enjoying the God of War II right now but the thing is I think they got released to soon as the software needs to catch up, but when the software catches up I tell you everyone will try hard to get their hands on PS3. I want one but the fact that I don't have a HDTV yet makes me not rush, but if i had the HDTV I would be eager to get one.

Dude I just got a PS3, and i wish i waited, there's no decent games yet, and it just sits there now. Just playing gow2.

Wait don't feel preasured.

Of course they are gonne cram the ps3 down our throats, its their new "flagship". They dont need to plublicize the ps2 as much, the owner base is already there

that being said, i probably wont buy a next gen console for at least 2 years, i want a stable console, where they have worked out the flaws, and an established game pool, with develloppers knowing how to pull out all the power of the console

early adopters are only paying more money to wait on games and have more chance of faulty consoles 

Generally, as space in those magazines is sold to companies that want to promote their product. Can you imagine Sony (or anyone else) buying ad space and using it to say "you don't really need our product. Wait a while on it." ? Don't get me wrong--I'm a late adopter myself, but you can't expect a company not to try to move their product, and if everybody waited to buy the console until it was cheaper and there was more games, that would never happen.

If people don't buy the product initially, the manufacturer never makes up the money in R&D, manufacturing, and marketing. That makes it impossible to drop the price. If nobody buys the console, no 3rd parties make games for it, leading to less incentive for customers to buy.

Late adopters like myself have to remember that early adopters basically subsidize our gaming, and we should always be grateful to them.

Noone's forcing you. If you're happy with good ol' PS2 then all is well. Right?

Don't get me wrong am currently having a blast with both my gamecube and ps2 (45+games with both libraries put together), but i just needed to vent some of the frustration i received from reading the mags.  And yes, i know its all about the hyping up your newest console, but i just felt like everything was directed on "you MUST buy" a next-gen console...which is the main point of advertising the next-gen consoles...but huh i dunno man. It didn't feel right .

 Oh well, right now am enjoying blasting the heck out of some terrorist on BLACK, so i don't need to worry about that anymore.
