But.... the story is accompanied by a picture of a cute puppy. Please 3rd parties, don't abandon the puppy and make him cry.

Don't worry folks, that puppy has found a new home on Nintendo hardware (ie: Nintendogs).

Is Sony for real? I mean, seriously, do the people making these statements actually work for Sony? This is just so mind-bogglingly stupid that this is all I can articulate on the subject. bhuioerwhoewhvblksf. and that.

I don't normally wish for product lines to fail. When product lines fail, it just leads to people losing their jobs and misery all around. That said, I want the PS3 to fail. I don't necessarily want it to be a dismal failure; I want it to do just bad enough so that the industry learns its lesson and never releases a major system at such a preposterous price again.

It doesn't matter how many nifty features it incorporates. I can't afford a PS3, and even if it laid golden eggs and Max Headroom greeted me in the menu, I still couldn't afford it. Whenever I tell that to a PS3 supporter, and they reply with "But, but, but...Blu-Ray!" it just drives me nuts. They just don't get the fact that it having Blu-Ray doesn't placate my landlord into lowering my rent. If that kind of pricepoint sets the market standard for future generations, I'll have to give up video games. And that's why I want the PS3 to fail.

Sony keeps making blunders that are basically preventing me from ever wanting a PS3.

First of all, they didn't include rumble in the first version of the controller, denouncing rumble as a "last-gen feature," then later announce they're going to add it. With this kind of announcement, there's no way I'm going to purchase one until I get the real PS3 controller. At least when Nintendo realized they had problems with the Wii Remotes, they offered to send out better wrist straps and controller gloves.

Second, I'm unwilling to pay more than $400 for a game console. While the new 40 GB model is $400, they eliminated backwards compatibility altogether! I never had a PS2, so I want to be able to play some of the games I missed, like God of War and Metal Gear Solid 3. What happened to the PS3 being so much better than the 360 because of its "full backwards compatibility?" Now the only console that can claim that is Wii!

Ugh, at this rate I won't be buying a PS3 at all. I was leaning more towards purchasing a 360 anyway (though it's not like I can really afford either at the moment).

PS3 still viable?

Farrell also lay blame on Unreal Engine as causing a number of key PlayStation 3 title delays, including its PS3 port of Frontlines. While the Xbox 360 and PC versions are still expected to ship on time, with a demo due in December, "Unreal Engine difficulties" have put the PS3 version "a couple to three months behind."

A low installed base and development difficulties were causing the publisher to re-think its plans for PS3 support, Farrell said.

Sony should just consider themselves lucky for having this whole "Benefit of the doubt" thing that some companies seem to have for it.

Ceric · « **Reply #2410 on:** October 23, 2007, 06:45:31 AM »

Hasn't the Unreal Engine caused delays on ALL platforms this time around. I'm surprised developers haven't banded together to rip them a new one.

MLS_man_64 · « **Reply #2411 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:32:02 PM »

Shocking

According to a statement from the company: "This deterioration was primarily due to the loss arising from the strategic pricing of the PS3 at points lower than its production cost and the increase in PS3 inventory-related write-downs... compared to the same quarter of the previous year."

A lot less shocking and a lot more expected. If Las Vegas was running bets on this I would be walking home RICH.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #2414 on:** October 25, 2007, 09:52:41 PM »

Las Vegas isn't running these bets, Wall Street is.

The gap is not closing. The Wii sales rate is higher than the rate of the PS3.

The gap is still widening. It's just widening less quickly.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #2419 on:** November 02, 2007, 07:09:28 AM »

Sales are down across the board in Japan. I can only imagine what will happen when Wii Fit is released.

Misinformed reporting FTL...
You would figure that someone would fact check the math before reporting this kind of stuff and making themselves look stupid.

A valiant effort buy the undercover SDF agent, although you only managed to fool our own.

You don't need common sense to succeed in gaming journalism.

Sony should put a warning sticker on the PS3 that it needs to be dusted regularly.

Normally new consoles are used often enough that they don't collect dust, but the PS3 is vulnerable.
