[QUOTE="coolguy1111"]Yea because PR people never lie, what is this the first time youve ever been alive for a ocnosle launch? Seriously, Sony told so much BS about the ps2, and guess what, it didnt hurt it at all. The ps3 is selling at a perfect rate for a console with no killer app, and wasnt supposed to launch yet. Also, maybe you missed how vocal and outspoken sony was about MS releasing the 360 so early? Lets see how good the ps3 would have been if it launched end of this year, Home, LPW, Oblivion, Motorstorm, Resistance, 3rd party games would be more polished, Warhawk, Liar, and alot of other games, it would have been a great launch.Truth_Hurts_U

All I can do is...

:lol:

360 had no killer app till Gears. All the "cows" made fun of 360 because of it. "Cows" made fun of 360 for not outselling the PS2.

My, oh, my, how the tables have turned.

Firstly, ignore the fanboys, right now, you have no argument, but what blind fnaboys are saying. The 360 had games, it had launch games, and it certainly had enough games and an online setup worth 400$. PS3 doesnt, so why would it sell? Face it, its obvious to everyone but fanboys such as yourself, the ps3 was forced to launch earlier.

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="coolguy1111"] Because thats single reason people bought a ps2? How well did the ps2 sell when it was 200$? Which back then is like 400$. People thinking the ps3 will fail, its stupid. The ps3 will sell 20 million when its done and voer with just on the name, even if it loses every exclusive. The xbox survived on a small user base and only a few exclusives, actually only really 2 or 3, Forze and Halo.

something like 75% or more of the ps2's were sold after the price dropped to 199. the ppl they are currently buying ps2's are not the ones that will have any impact on THIS GEN. They will simple buy the system that is cheap and has won this gen in a few years. this is so obvious.

People have brand loyalty, especially uninformed people. The ps3 will sell fine, 200k is great numbers for something this much.

The Playstation 3 isn't doing that well right now. But it's still going to prevail and maintain a nice chunk of market share when it's all over and done with.


TekkenMaster606
by prevail do you mean the most marketshare? because that would seem unlikely. nice chuck maybe. but win? that's not something anyone should confidently say.

you shouldn't assume that they are. If people wanted the ps3, they would probably be getting that. after all, it is fully backwards compatible with ps2 games

  He is right to a certain extent , Sony has the potential to grow its fanbase even further.(not evryone becomes automatic fans but if they play the right games and are satified the potential is there).Who wouldn't be happy with a ps2 ?

And just because you can't afford a ps3 now , doesn't mean you won't come into money a few years from now to swing a ps3. (just for the naysayers)

Well according to Lemmings (such as yourself) it has no games and its getting closer to 5 million all the time...so yeah. Runningflame570

I never once said PS3 didn't have games. It does. Just crappy ones.

Cow logic...

"Resistance is under rated..." "Gamespot sucks at reviewing"

Even your beloved "underrated" Resistance isn't helping PS3. And if Gamespot underrated it. Why isn't it selling like hot cakes?

After all it's supposed to be "the best launch title" "better then 360 launch games".

[QUOTE="JimJackJose"]lol... so many excuses as to why ps3 was last.... coolguy1111
There not excuses, there facts. Fact:Sony didnt want to launch this early, Fact: PS3 has no killer aps except Resistance, Fact: Sonys online wasnt ready. All the signs clearly show sony wasnt rdy to launch, and its still selling half as many as the wii, which is more then half the price.

Since when could excuses not be fact based? Are you high? Thanks for the list of excuses though, saves me the time of re-reading through the fanboy logic.

what does this have to do with the ppl buying ps2? you think brand loyalty told them to buy it 7 years after release and at the end of it's life? oh and are you saying that ps3 sales are from uninformed people? I can see you point since just about every publication has said it's not worth getting yet.

Let's all act like those people buying the Playstation 2 right now are not future Playstation 3 buyers. :roll:


TekkenMaster606

Maybe they are. But seeing as the PS2 was never over 400 dollars and began retailing at 300, and is now selling at 129.99 dollars, it's going to be at least 3 years before many of those people buy a PS3. Sig me on it.

That's what I am trying to convey. There are a lot of people that don't even buy a new system until 3 or even 4 years into a generation.

And I bet more than half of those Playstation 2s sold are replacements for a system that had a Disc Read Error or another problem. And that's a slap in the fact to everyone, Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Because they repurchased a Playstation 2 instead of picking a current gen console. Or maybe they just want to play Downhill Jam on the PS2 that badly. :lol:

Not really. Some people were willing to go through 3 or 4 360s if the whole problem wasn't really blown out of proportion. But yeah, I agree. Unless you don't get money that often, the best system to buy right now overall is the PS2. I'd say 360 or DS next. But PS2 right now.

Hey genius - if your theory about 'people buying PS2s are future PS3 owners' is true, why didn't it work that way for Nintendo? Why did the N64 sell less than SNES? Or the GCN sell less than the N64? Isn't it possible that you have no idea what you're talking about??? That maybe (just maybe) people like to think for themselves once in awhile and actually make a purchase based on desire rather than blind loyalty?

I dont see how noone is admitting sony sold bad, and heres why is an excuse. Its the reason why it sold bad :|, or not excellent like people expect a 600$ machine with one game that had a rushed launched and a ton of negative press.

If I recall correctly. A lot of people waited for the Super Nintendo, instead of buying the Sega Genesis.

It was because the NES still had lots of games, even after the SNES was released. So it did work for Nintendo.

I love how fnaboys cant think. Its all there, your just some ignorant fanboy. Would you jump off a bridge if sony told you it was the right thing to do? I think you would, just to prove sony wrong. And them launching at a date doesnt mean they wanted to. but ofcourse, that requires thought. Something lemmings arnt known for. Have fun playing your inferior games, Ill play the superior version on my PC.

LOL!!! That's it, keep avoiding the fact that your 'theory' is significantly flawed...

...this had nothing to do with Nintendo existing or not - this had to do with your statement that 'everyone that buys a PS2 is bound to buy a PS3' - the fact that Nintendo's marketshare consistently declined, flies directly in the face of your opinion and seems to elude you.

Yet, a large number of SNES playter got the N64, who bought the n64? Nintendo fanboys, for the most part. And did nintendo die after it? No...

This thread has the best damage controll by cows I have ever seen. You know deep down all the cows thought the PS3 was going to outsell the 360 this month. I just wish MS would do a price drop soon so the PS3 never outsells the 360. The evil sony ship is sinking right before our eyes. Only 200K and no shortages on new hardware????? LMFAO

Exactly. This has nothing to do with being in first place. Or moving the most units. It's a marathon, not some kind of sprint. Fans of the Playstation brand will continue to buy it because they may actually enjoy series like Jak and Dexter, The Getaway, and Metal Gear Solid.

A 'decent chunk' of market share is not first place. It's a decent chunk of market share.

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]If I recall correctly. A lot of people waited for the Super Nintendo, instead of buying the Sega Genesis.

It was because the NES still had lots of games, even after the SNES was released. So it did work for Nintendo.

But why didn't it continue to work for them, then? Or, do you just want to ignore that fact?

Nintendo still exsists as a company that develops video game hardware and software.

Everything they have done has worked for them.

LOL!!! That's it, keep avoiding the fact that your 'theory' is significantly flawed...

...this had nothing to do with Nintendo existing or not - this had to do with your statement that 'everyone that buys a PS2 is bound to buy a PS3' - the fact that Nintendo's marketshare consistently declined, flies directly in the face of your opinion and seems to elude you.

To be fair , historically Nintendo consoles have been the easiest to move away from when gamers get older. (for the most part). It is going to be much more difficult to be a playstation fan and regress back to Nintendo.

Who said anything about 'dying'??? Tekken made a very broad statement about 'all PS2 owners buying a PS3' and, if you'd stop and think before you type, you'd realize that although a number of SNES owners may have bought a N64 - obviously not all of them did, otherwise Nintendo's marketshare wouldn't have declined as much as it did...

...same with the N64 to GCN generation.

My statement said 'LET'S ALL TRY TO ACT LIKE...' It's meaning was not ALL PS2 buyers will be PS3 buyers. Some. Not all.

Are you trying to play the 'kiddie' card, now? And what does this statement have to do with the price of tea in China??? Tekken made a blanket statement and suggested that PS2 owners are blind loyalists that will continue to buy Sony products - is that a true statement? Are you agreeing with that?

Suppose I stick to your 'kiddie' theory for a moment - couldn't some of those same PS2 fans who are scared to 'regress' to 'kiddie land', instead opt to purchase a 360?

Some...i think that unless the ps3 is the major market share leader and about $200 it'll be closer to "few" of the ppl that are STILL buying ps2's.

I can't disagree with that statement. It could be only a few.

Sorry - I must have misunderstood the context of the rest of your statement of:

'those people buying the Playstation 2 right now are not future Playstation 3 buyers :roll: '

I mean - basic grammar and logic implies that you are stating everyone that buys a PS2 right will be a future PS3 owner, and that everyone in this thread is pretending not to notice that obvious correlation. Followed up with the sarcastic :roll:

My apologies, I should have understood that you didn't mean 'all'...
