well..if it wasnt free would you still get ps3? lets say it was the same amount of dollars a year as xbox live?

So you're assuming it would have failed without these? Even though it has it's own impressive library.

There are too many variables to narrow it down to 2 specific things.

I thought people felt it was Blu Ray that was making PS3 fail initially because of the price :P

If it weren't for Warranty and Price the Xbox 360 would Fail.

If we were able to skip childhood the Wii would fail.

If the PS3 didn't have Blu-Ray...it would have DVD, The PS3 would have came out a year sooner, and best of all the PS3 would have been WAY Cheaper!:shock:

If the PS3 had DVD and came out when the 360 came out a year sooner, the PS3 would have performed far, far better than it has now in SALES.

Blu-Ray being added to the PS3 was the best thing that could have happened to 360.

From getting a ton of companies to go multiplat, to giving the 360 a full year to build up it's install base, etc.

What you are proposing would have been detrimental to the 360.

I don't think so one bit -- the Playstation brand is powerful. It would still be popular, would it be as popular as it is today? Meh. No one knows for sure.

If it wasn't for Blu-Ray the PS3 would have been cheaper and out sooner. And quite possibly ahead of the 360 by now. Edit- ^Yeah, what the King said.

cee1gee

but in all honesty, you forgot that if the ps3 didn't have a blu-ray drive, it wouldn't have been so expensive coming out and people from the ps2 crowd last gen would've bought one from launch, killing off the 360 before the race even started. If the PSN costs the same as XBL did, it more than likely, would've been XBL equal in features and possibly quality as well, making it a flip of the coin type of deal with the choices among gamers. So if the ps3 didn't have these 2 things, the 360 victory would've been much harder than now, if evident at all

You saying it's filled with hackers obviously shows how little you know. I rarely experience hackers, and those that are online usually get perma-banned pretty quick.

Oh please the PS3 is succeeding, first of all because Sony spent the better part of 15 years building the Playstation name into a household word. Aside from the fact, like it or not the PS3 is the more powerful hardware of all the current consoles. and in my opinion has the best exclusives. The Blu Ray and free online is just a nice perk, but the PS3 would still be the best without either.

A very bleak way of looking at PC gaming there. It too has free online and is Bluray upgradable. Supports incredible mods also.

yup M$ would have stoped at xbox if there was no halo

even now when you think of xbox whats the first game that comes to mind? halo.

just like when you think nintendo you think of mario or zelda.

for playstation there are multiple games that make Sony the top console. Sony has more than ONE big name unlike the other consoles

If the ps3 charged for online amnd failed because of it then how is MS still in this? They also employed a failed HD-DVD drive. Your logic is flawed.

Agreed. And if they did come out on the same day most ppl would have got a Ps3 cause of the ps2's success.

I disagree. PS3 has the CELL processor so the games will be superior.

If the PS3 has no Blu-ray and charging for PSN, Xbox 360 would still be beaten by the PS3.

If, if, if. Could've, should've, would've. Well guess what? The 360 is "beating" the PS3 in terms of sales and the PS3 is not failing. My goodness this thread is full of fail.

The same chip manufacturer made similarly powered CPUs for both the 360 and the PS3, so I disagree with you on your 'teh cell' argument. If anything, the cell is more challenging to develop for. If you can find one multiplatform game developer who says that development was easier or somehow more powerful on the PS3 due to the Cell, I'll eat a ham sandwich. (I don't like ham, so that would be quite a chore.)

wait wait wait, b/c before lems were saying that the ps3 WAS a failure because of the high price point incurred from blu ray causing low sales. but now its no longer a boon but an asset? can you lems please hold one of your daily meetings and figure out which it is for yourself and let us cows know when you figure out what side of the argumentative fence you want to sit on.

cee1gee

this is like saying:

IF it wasnt for HALO and XBOX LIVE, XBOX 260 would fail.

think about it, alot of people bought the 360 for halo, i see alot of people comparing which one to get, PS3 or 360 and everyone always mentions "xbox live is better (plus you have to pay"

Well...if it wasnt for HALO would you still get 360? Lets say it was the same games for each console.

that's silly since without BR the ps3 would have been cheaper and launch and come out earlier.

well thats kinda stupid. every console has advantages. So if you take them away, it'd obviously weaker. Thats like saying the wii wouldnt be anything w/o motion controls and mario. Or the 360 would fail if it wasnt for its great online service and halo 3.

Hmmm interesting argument but does it lay eggs?
