[QUOTE="P08C"]no wonder the 360 overheats...because it's losing fans! LOLPS3_3DO

The PS3 has one big fan that makes a big noise. LOL

Then how come I don't hear it when I play games?

Massive epic fail.

Not really, for two reasons:

1) Lemmings want to promote the view that the 360 is a "hardcore" console and not just about shooters and racers (which are the games casuals love). Yet 50% of that list is made up of shooters and sequals of shooters. There is even an RPG made to look and feel like a shooter. Then you have racers and Madden. If lemmings want people to view their console as "hardcore" and having more than shooters and racers, then they should maybe support more games that aren't casual-loved shooters and racers.

2) I continue to have a theory that lemmings all go out and buy the exact same games. I know a number of people with 360s and they all have almost identical game libraries. While I only know a few people with a PS3, they have very different game libraries (and one uses it mostly just as a BR player). I think this theory also explains why people THINK the PS3 has poor game sales, but the attach rate is exactly the same as the 360 had during the same time period. Clealry, while 360 fans are all rushing out to buy the exact same titles, PS3 fans are buying a wider variety of titles. This results in the PS3 having lower game sales on average, but it also avoids the ovbious gap in sales that 360 games have. It appears that 360 games either sell millions or nothing at all. There are peaks and valleys. The PS3 library doesn't have those peaks, but also doesn't have the low valleys either.

Having said that, I do believe the 360 has the stronger game library filled with great games. But there is a disconnect, I think, between the perception of the consoles and what sales numbers seem to be saying.

Well said.

We all know the PS3 came out of the gates with a bad start. They had said they sold out of all their systems when really they still had some sitting at the stores. The online service wasn't what their fans were hoping so they gave frequent updates to try and catch up with already established online services. The price was high so they made different skus with different HDD space to accomodate those gamers strapped for cash. The reality is they really didn't drop in price they just discontinued older skus.

As far as games go their multiplat games take longer to program and sometimes released a week after their compitiors. This shows that the deves didn't have a lot of time to get use to the hardware and software. Some devs received their kits 2 weeks before E3 in 06. Also some of their games which were supposed to be released in 06 or 07 are either just coming or are still being developed. Also the Cell processor isn't being used to it's full potential.

Sony has renigged (urban dictionary: To back out of a deal or a promise.) on a lot of stuff that they've said since launch and before. The last thing is that the system is still to expensive for some to purchase. My point is to you, do you think the PS3 was ready at launch, or do you think Sony could have held the system back by a year or so to make sure it was everything that people wanted right out the box, without updates, or different controllers, or different skus?

I think that Sony could have waited one more year, but at least they're slowly digging themselves out of this unfortunate situation. If they had waited one more year, they would have more than enough time to work on home and developers would have gotten used to the technology.

But what happened...it already happened. At least they're not sitting around with their tails between their legs.

Um...no.

I used that as an estimate.

Unless they m,arkety that game to death, then yeah I agree with you. And the rest of the games the lemmings mentioned won't be out yet until late 2008/early 2009.girlpowerz
