Sony's mistakes.
ToxinMongoose | 4:24 PM on 10.20.2007 4 comments


Forgive me, This is just to get that asshole god off my back.

My friend recently bought one of those fancy 60 GB PS3s. You know, the one with the supposed backwards compatibility? He's getting incredibly annoying with how much more "awesomer" it is than the 360. So I 'm just gonna start listing some things I've always found stupid with the PS3.

1. Early Release.
Okay, It's 2007 a year from Sony's release of the PS3. Do you know when Sony had the most sales? That's right, the very first month it came out. Do you remember the Choas? The gigantic line on the day of release in Japan was filled with people hired to buy the console, so it could be resold at a hire price. Brawls broke out in waiting lines, Consoles were stolen, and I'm pretty sure, somewhere out there, somebody got shot.

I'm pretty sure if Sony had waited until they had a larger stock of PS3s to distribute, they would have made a lot more money off launch and probably would be a lot better off.

2. Library
Look, the Ps2 has been selling games for a good 8 years, at least, if you add in Ps1 games, that's a total of 12 years of games. I'm pretty sure people traded in their almighty ps2s for a Ps3, only to be throughly disappointed at the backwards compatibility. Sony, what are you thinking?! Do you actually believe gamers are going to drop Final Fantasy 1-12 just so they can play 13?! Do you know, I see more people browsing the used game section, than the new?

Seriously Sony, Tomb Raider may be outdated, but it's still a good game. Don't you know how many times they rereleased Final Fantasy? Yes, I am talking about the first one.

I'd be a little more forgiving on Sony's pathetic PS3 library if it'd actually let me play my Ps2 games at a decent level.

On another note... Whatever happened to that big list of exclusives that Sony was boasting about?

3. That Cell processor
You know, that big awesome processor that's supposed to own ass?

Then why does Rainbow Six: Vegas lag and skip during Terrorist hunt?

4. Internets
Okay, I never set up a Ps3 to the internet myself, but I've heard it's actually a horrible process. I've also never played a game over the internet on the Ps3, so I can't talk about that. But I've seen the PSN shopping market and it's pitiful Sony. It's downright pitiful. That annoying blue background makes Xbox Live look like Paradise. Step up, Sony. People love those series of tubes, jam packed with little tiny packages that adds armor to their horses.
They love them dearly.

5. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.
Sony needs to shut up, seriously. We're not the reason why the Ps3 isn't selling, Of course not. We just buy the system based upon information fed to us. Whatever the reason why were not buying it, it's your job to fix it.

Seriously, I want to see some action here, not excuses and promises.

Damn, You need to do a little bit of spell checking, I saw two or three mistakes in there.

Also, some friendly advice, take that thing about god out of there. People hate it when you bring that up even if your post contained content.

Sony's only mistake was pricing the PS3 too high, we all know there are tons of morons out there who will buy a PS3 no matter how crap it is. While us core gamers know better the typical Sony fan is clueless.
Sony pricing the PS3 too high means that even the clueless Sony fans can't afford to buy one. Sony don't need games early on as the PS2 proved, if it says PLAYSTATION on the box & it's got a decent price people will buy it.

 about me

I demand Final Fantasy Tactics!! None of that Bullshit advance crap, because FFTA was like taking a fully automatic Assault Rifle, sticking a knife upon the end and going boar hunting with it. It was a total step backwards!

Damn Squarenix bitches. Someone should slap them. Really.
