[QUOTE="tm0054"]I sort of agree... When the PS3 first came out I hated Sony's strategy of releasing a game system at such a high price point and thought that they should've forgotten about Blu Ray this gen. Now it is obvious that their strategy is really starting to materialize. Now that the system is $299 and great exclusives seem to be everywhere Sony is in a great position. It took years to get here but... Also they are getting Blu Ray drives into homes which is a big part of what they are trying to do (although how much life optical discs have left is another debate altogether). I predict that the PS3 will have the most sales this holiday - of the consoles it is the best value for the money at the moment IMO.enterawesome

Maybe some people (like me) decided to choose the 360's library over the PS3's library?

Besides which, now is a time in which it is essential to own both consoles. If you only own one and not the other, then you really are missing out on some fantastic exclusives.

[QUOTE="TheCoreGamer_"] i think i would know since i was a launch day buyer of the PS2. spent almost the whole first year playing ps1 games on it. Also the article talks about how 360 owners say "its only 50 bucks a month to play online", but then they dont look at price cost of the whole system 5 years down the line when they realize they payed more to play the system then the actual cost of the system.

Apparently you live in an alternate time. The PS2 had at least 15 AAA games within the first year of NA + Eur launch; including several at launch, and several more just a few months later.

Shouldn't this be in the Xbox 360 forum??? I mean, there's no point starting a fanboy war over storage.

Also, how is the Xbox irrelevant?? There is a good 20-30 million Xbox ownersout there, so what are you insinuating?

Fanboy war attempt fail.

You'd think you'd know, but evidently, you don't.

One year from its release the PS2 had:

THPS3 (10)

MGS2 (9.6)

GTA 3 (9.6)

Tekken Tag Tournament (9.6)

NFL 2K2 (9.5)

Twisted Metal Black (9.5)

SSX Tricky (9.4)

GTA 3 A Spec (9.4)

SSX (9.4)

Final Fantasy X (9.3)

NBA Street (9.3)

Madden NFL 2002 (9.2)

Devil May Cry (9.1)

Rayman REvolution 2 (9.1)

Madden 2001 (9.0)

Compared to even the PS3's first TWO years, the first year of the PS2 embarrases the newer console.

Face what Cows did in 2006; the PS3 is not the PS2.

So taking a break in the middle =/= to taking a break in the begining? It's really the same.....

[QUOTE="TheCoreGamer_"] This happened with the PS1, PS2, and now its happening again with the PS3. The first two years they were lacking great games but then two years into the program and BAM the sheer amount of developers sony has more then makes up for anything else produced by competition.

In fact, when the PS2 was launched, Sony scored several AAAEs almost immediatly. The trajectory of the PS3 is nothing like the PS1/PS2.

Tc can you show me the wayz of teh ps3 ? Well cause I have a 360 and your telling me it was a bad decsion.
