Is there any chance you would switch companys next gen at this point?

What im trying to say is, a long time X-box owner myself last gen, i loved all the games on it, but...

when this gen rolled around, the ps3 was just a sad little puppy in a box with a sign that says "free" outside of it, i took one look at that puppy and i was in love, i picked him up started to pet and cuddle him and he licked my face, it was love, oh yes, it was love.

On the car ride home he stared out the window wagging his tiny tail and panting with sheer delight, excited for this new bright, beautiful world he was about to experience. When i arrived home, my kids swarmed me, delighted by the delicious prize i held in my arms, i set him down and the puppy seemed scared at first, but eventually would grow to love the children in more ways than one.

When my wife took a look she shot me the look from the 7th circle of hell, but thats ok i thought, she'll get it later in the form of the back of my hand.

I smiled to myself, what a glorious day.

As the puppy grew up he became more and more reliable, and took a liking to the kids, but me and the puppy were best friends, i would spend hours with him and taught him to even do a few tricks like how to sit, stay, bite my wifes "friends" while i was at work, and do a barrel roll.

Hes a full grown dog now, and the best dog ive ever had, hes the thing that makes me happiest in this life.

Thanks ps3, i look forward to a lengthy relationship just you and my empty scarred soul.

Yes, there is always a chance that the company makes a big mistake.

I went from Gamecube/PS2 to Wii/PS3, having previously owned a SNES and then a PS1. I've owned many iterations of the Gameboy as well as the DS and the PSP

signs point to no, but considering i almost bought a 360 instead of a ps3, there's always a chance

In terms of consoles, i would probably stick with xbox, since my PS3 gets little play, except for demon's souls and a few killzone 2 matches.

But PC will always be my primary platform.

im being honest i had an Xbox and a PS2 last gen loved my Xbox to bits and what made me decide on a PS3 was the online being free, and i remembered how quickly MS dropped support and games dried up.

It actaully annoyed me to no end there was still new games coming out for PS2, but MS couldnt throw a few games to the Xbox whatever happened to MS's great support to systems and OS's? i mean Win98 was supported for a very long time why could they have not helped the original Xbox owners.To ne honest that made me really jump ship to being a PS3 only owner as still even though the 360 is extremely successful i dunno why i could just see MS doing it again.

Go where the games are.

I'm not some blind loyalist.

Been With Sony Since PS1,I Don't Think I'll Switch...

Well see the point is to play games, not have some allegiance to a game company. Go where the games are, you will find yourself much happier.

I don't know. PS2 was my little baby. So many great games. I was dead set on getting a PS3 until the price was revealed and so many former playstation titles went multiplat. Right now I have a 360 and I will be getting a PS3 one day.

Yes, there is always a chance that the company makes a big mistake.

PS2 was awesome. When PS3 launched I decided not to pay $650.00 to play Resistance and then wait like 2 years for it to start doing well. I'll stick to Wii60 thank you.

Next gen I'll just have to wait and see.

[QUOTE="Blixxed"]I went from the PS2 being my main system to the 360. Though I did have an Xbox, I barely played it, and is the same situation now with the PS3. TreeMoBMoney

So you pick inferior things because they're doing badly?

What? How is that good?

That means you also backed the Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer, New Coke......

Well all people on here can afford a console and usually there is a console that has the advantage in quantity of games or is tied with another. Dishing out $300 for the 360 Elite/PS3 Slim isnt so bad.

Not everyone has the money to "go where the games are"TreeMoBMoney

Then they need to rethink their hobby

If someone is unable to experience your hobby with flexibility then maybe it's time to choose a new hobby

Gaming costs money to be pumped into it regularly

As a single console? Yes

I mean it's a great third console that serves as a movie player that can play some games but that's about it.

The idea that someone how you like the underdog is nice but Sony is the underdog that did everything to itself this gen. It's the underdog that has made every single mistake in the book.

That doesn't sound endearing to me

No, it's not like that

If your hobby is building model helicopters and your situation in life only allows you ONE model helicopter then making model helicopters isn't for you.

A person needs to understand their means and then find a hobby that fits within those means

Ok, I recently used this pic in another thread, but there has been a while since I've seen a post so deserving of it so here it goes again.

I've had a playstation as my main console since PS1. So I'll probably stick with the PS4.

Last gen I gust got married, and finished college so I got all 3, THis Gen I have a kid so I could not get all 3.

IN additon I do not see a huge jump in Game mechanics. All the games i have played play like Xbox games with better graphics, and more people on at one time. PS3 looked good but it did not have enough games. MGS4 is a great game but I was not going to spend $400.00 on a few games.

SO I really never had any loyality to any 1 company. This gen PS3 looks like its going to shape up to be the better console. If they announced that PS4 will not ship out untill 2015 then I would pick one up next year when I see how their Motion control turnes out, and how VR-3D controller, and 3D TV turnes out.

Next gen I will see after a year if it is worth it to wait or get a console. I have enough games from last gen to keep me busy for years. I do not have the time available like I use to. I now have about 10- 20 hours a week to play games.

I don't understand the model whatever analogy. He's saying if you don't have the money, maybe you should rethink your hobby (which is a dumb to say). Then you respond with " if you like to build model helicopters doesnt mean you should rethink your hobby because you dont build model cars." ... completely irrelevant and it has nothing to do with anything. Sometimes complex thoughts are confusing, try sticking to simplerones.

I would if Microsoft lost Halo, and stopped having (IMO) the better games.

Its a better main console than the other two for me. I've had all three and they weren't good enough to keep around IMO

[QUOTE="TreeMoBMoney"] You're very aggressive arent you? The term hobby should be used lightly, because if you like to build model helicopters doesnt mean you should rethink your hobby because you dont build model cars. Gaming is an expensive hobby for the middle class. kidcool189

That's exactly right

In that case someone is going to look at content more then ever compared to the company behind it

If someone is only getting one console (or handheld) then they don't care about the name, they care about it's ability to play games and have games on a regular basis for it

Then they're not looking at the name of the console at all, all they care about is how often they get content with whatever platform they choose

I was a Gamecube guy last gen and this gen I switched to the Xbox 360 because the Wii is horrible (imo) and the xbox 360 is better all round! So probably i will stick to MS next gen93soccer
