Sony's rocket science at work here... So it was the GAMES that pulled a GAMING console out of the fire? Huh, who would of thought of that. What a novel concept. Fucking genius...

Price cuts also helped.

@otikik, yes youre right, seeing as i use my neibours wifi connection(Free internetz!!!), i needed wireless connection for my console, the 300 pound 40gb ps3 was much better in fuctionailty terms for me than the elite xbox360, built in wifi was a godsend, much better than paying and extra 35-40 ponds for the wifi adapter for the 360, I just wish psn store was as fully featured as xbl markerplace, hope it will be soon

ZOINKS! The CEO of Sony is an xboy or xbot or whatever the hell stupid term is used! Let's get him!

Now, what did you learn? Ok, let's not do that again ok?

Humility from Sony? Sadly, it won't last. Once the hyped up exclusives come and do not pull a Haze, then Sony will be back to its arrogance.

I dunno this kinda cheapens all the claims that I made early on saying how the PS3 was a BluRay player and nothing else during that long launch. This proves that I was indeed right, but it just has that PR spin that puts a bad taste in your mouth.

Unchartered?! You must be joking

If you're denouncing the beauty that is Uncharted, you really must be joking or just trolling.

Sony have been startin to get back on their feet ever since the end of HD-DVD and as far as I can see its all lookin up from here on out for them. Particularly with MGS4 just around the corner.

He looks like a character from Duckman

Now that Sony has humbled themselves, um, ::eyes looking at MS:: Microsoft, can you please play nice for 1 minute to get the BluRays for the 360? Please? If not... There's be more humble pie ahead, and next time it'll be MS's!

Sony, shut up & jam!

Iam so sick and tired of wanting to defend the ps3 as a gaming console. Ive done it for over a year but I have to be honest. It isnt nearly as good as the 360. Iam an objective gamer of 3 years. I started gaming 3 years ago as a 34 year old. I got a cube to start, then moved onto the xbox then bought the 360 and after that the wii and ps3. Honestly all Ive heard from folks about the ps3 is how powerful it is, blah, blah, bleh. That may be so but for gaming SO FAR-almost 2 years into it it is still subpar below the 360! I have tried virtually every 3rd party game on both systems and the ps3 is worse. As a bluray player it rocks and I use it for that-but that is it. If i didnt have a 50inch 1080p panny plasma I would have ditched it long ago. I dont mean to stir up any battles here but the wii is awesome-it doesnt promise the world and deliver crap. It promises what it is and thats that-take it or leave it-but Nintendo is at least honest about it. The 360 has better textures, framerates, and GAMES. They dont pretend to be a HD entertainment center but a gaming console that can possibly add those other things to it. Also, I stream divx, avi and other media from my pc to both the ps3 and 360 and the 360 is far better than the ps3. So this generation console battle has already been won by MS and Sony better wake the FU*K up or you can count on FFXIII and others going where the people go. Stop tauting UNCHARTED- BFD- that game was like Tomb Raider with better graphics and the same stupid jamaican AI idiots with ak47s over and over. It wasnt that great. If you want to watch blurays buy a ps3. If you want to play games there are better choices. IF YOURE HONEST! So suck it up and stop defending sony-what have they done for you lately. Why the allegiance to a company the ps2 rocked(those are the only games iam playing on my ps3-go figure

@gamesronlygames

Times have changed, meaning that you can pretty much find the same games on the PS3 as the 360 -- minus the obvious MS funded titles.

The way I see it (as an owner of all three consoles), the 360 still has the most desirable online set-up, but there is still that one nagging problem called console reliability. Until the day comes that the red ring of death is a faint memory, the PS3 is going to be the better deal for gamers.

Why? Because most normal people actually expect high priced items to function as they were intended to for a reasonable amount of time. In essence, not to break due to a serious design flaw that should have been fixed many times over by now. Maybe Sony doesn't care about us (does any company, really?), but the fact remains: Chances are that your PS3 is still going to be playing games while you exchange several failed Xbox 360s over the next couple of years.

Something to think about.

@gamerboi

Your wrong. You can wrap your high priced item in towels and it will be fine. lol


I not sure this is news. The PS3 was struggling in the beginning, but now they have hit their stride. The future for the PS3 is far better than the 360. I use to not have a whole lot of confidence the PS3, but as the good games come out, the PS3 lineup is going to be better than the 360, especially when you consider that there are only a couple of exclusives that 360 is going to have that are going to be worth shit. You can't argue with the PS3 lineup coming out.

It's too bad I can't feel as good about the ads as I can about the hardware. It was the marketing, not the quirky hardware, that drove away developers. There was just no reason for people to spend so much on the system.
