It just means less games to play.

Despite all the ignorance being displayed in this thread...
PS saved the gaming industry from Nintendo's backwards thinking and third party developer suffocating ways.
PS2 is hands down one of the best gaming consoles ever made. Its library is right up there with the SNES.
PS3 is making alot of the mistakes the N64 made when it was released. The difference though is that unlike Nintendo, Sony isn't losing all of its third party support. (FF VII was lost on the N64, XIII is still set to be released on the PS3.)
Alot of folks want to take the PS3's faults and forget all the good Sony has done but its not going to happen. Sony mainstreamed gaming more then the Wii ever will. 100 million consoles is nothing to sneeze at and will not likely ever be matched by the competition.
With that said, you need all three to exist so that they can continue to give consumers the best value. Anything else is just blind ignorance.

i wont be happy, we need the competition to keep these guys on their toes, you could imagine the amount of crap we would get if there was just one console.tacomhuuh yah,...Good crap :)
[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]are you gingerdivid's alt account? even as a huge nintendo fan, i have to admit that that's right (sort of). Nintendo bullied alot of 3rd parties. they acted like it was an honour for them to be allowed to make a game for nintendo's console. The sensorship also bugged them. When the ps came out, they had alot more freedom. I don't know what he meant by "backwards thinking.Despite all the ignorance being displayed in this thread...

As someone who ran out on day one and bought an N64 and played Mario 64 until my fingers bled, yes Nintendo was pretty much everything Sony is now. Arrogant, stubborn, and foolish.
To deny that is to know nothing of gaming history.
i wont be happy, we need the competition to keep these guys on their toes, you could imagine the amount of crap we would get if there was just one console.tacomhExactly my thoughts .
I certainly would not. If SONY dropped from the console race-- which is highly unlikely-- it would be devastating to the video game industry. We aren't talking small company SEGA, we're talking big buisness SONY. SONY has contributed alot to video games and to see them perish would be truly sad. There would be tons of great games that would never be played if that happened. This goes for all the big guys in the industry, not just SONY.DA_B0MBIf Sony went down with the sinking ship, they deserve every bit of it.

Uh, No. Why would you say that?
[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="MentatAssassin"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"]I think if the dreamcast would have succeeded , then the xbox probably would have died.There is room for Nintendo and Sony for sure , and only one other pretender to the throne.
MentatAssassin
At this point M$ is more like the long lost heir to the throne rather than a "pretender". If anything, Sony would be that insane old king who flung himself off the ledge at the end of LOTR III.:P
He wasn't a king.My bad. I guess I shoulda watched it more than once.
I could had hardly watch it the first time. :|No and I have never alurred to that, I would be 100% happy if sony would get off their high horse, and stop touting a system that is obviously not the most powerful as the most powerful. I would be 100% happy if sony would fire ken and kaz and all the other stupid remarking execs. I would be 100% happy if the ps3 wasn't 600 dollars.WilliamRLBaker
The system is the most powerful why is this even up for debate .
If the Playstaion 3 dies the gaming industry would go into a massive slump. Sony is the lead console maker and if it dies that just means less good games and less compettiton. Anyone who wishes it dies is simply angry that there poor and cant afford a PS3. BillyhywThis is coming form the guy who made the biggest console vs PC thread I ever saw and your only good point was how much money PC gaming costs? Are sharing your account with anyone?

I didnt make the thread . I was simply listing several good advantages of consoles over pc if you see price as the only advantage thats your problem.
I like the excluisves I get with consoles better that is the single most important factor for me and thats all there is to it.

No. We need the PS3 around cuz the Wii will inevitably catch and pass the 360 in sales. Lems will need somebody to kick, and the Sonyfans are lining up nicely.jaysin1414
LOL ill be surprised if the Wii makes it past 2008. The gimmic will run up quick and as more games come out for the PS3 and 360 i will see the Wii dead last.

-_- I was quoting dumbass.Dreamcast didn't have any games.I mean come'on Sega never wins. Shu76?? What are you new to gaming? Genesis did pretty dang good and some would argue won that generation. As for games for Dreamcast... Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Powerstone, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online, Street Fighter 3, Code Veronica, etc.
