You gotta hand it to Sony, they really know how to fuck up a system launch. I wonder if people were returning their PS3s to Walmart or Target. The kind of looks they would get would be priceless to see.

I want a PS3 if I can get one for free. I think I would probably still buy a Wii if PS3's were $250. That's if I didn't already have a 360, and if I were able to pull myself away from the sweet, sweet embrace of the Cole Train. Everybody wants to ride the Train baby!

Both consoles have their problems, just the PS3 seems to have a few more. The funny thing, Sony could have avoided almost all of these problems if they had either waited until March 07' or Christmas 07' (this would be the better in my honost opinion) to launch. They would still have the higher price and the still iffy-expensive BluRay, but they would have had production issues ironed out, more time to make the consoles, given more time to developers to make better launch titles, no compitiion from a highly hyped system, more time to fine tune their online network, and gotten a lot of the bugs and kinks work out.

I still don't think it's really clear what console will come out on top, but right now it's not looking great for Sony on any front. The PS3 had an absolutely terrible launch, people aren't really accepting BluRay, and the PSP is trying to go head-to-head with the money printing DS. Personally, I think it's probably going to come out with the 360 on top, with the Wii second, and finally the PS3.

*sings* Somebody? Anybody? GET THE FUCK UP~!!!!

i hate to say this but maybe it just wasn't ready they should put on ANOTHER delay and they could've probably manufactured it cheaper and had more time for developers to get their head around ps3 ultimate code which is harder to understand than your couchwarming whore/girlfriend

i could have purchased a ps3 at (2) stores yesterday. of course i live in mississippi and maybe that might have some impact on availability. Yet there is still no signs of any wiis. Toys 'r' us did receive two wii/ps3 shipments the week of christmas. So your toys r us article about the wii/ps3 going there was correct.

I'm with you Caffeine.

I need to see some Japanese developers tell Sony to fuck off, and either bail for the Xbox or Wii. Then I can set my fears aside. Dragon Quest 9 was a bombshell last week, doesn't matter who you are or what you like to play, to lose a Dragon Quest game to a handheld is "Crab level" massive damage to Sony.

Seeing Capcom take a risk on projects like Lost Planet and Dead Rising is also certainly encouraging to this end.

DOAX2...is not.

I ultimately have to take a wait and see approach I suppose, if I want to play it safe with my money. A price drop on the 360's going to be hard to ignore as more games of varied content and quality push it towards better relevance in my eyes. I've already run a good deal of content over the 360 already play testing a unit I shipped overseas a few months ago to a friend. It's got a lot better chance at this point than the PS3 in dominating, but they have to get the support of the Japanese developers in my eyes if they want to "win" me over completely.

Again, we've laid the groundwork, now this just needs to come to fruition to work. I hope Lost Planet sales #'s are off the chart.
