There was no way they were going to release the PS3 without Blu-ray. And unfortunately there was no way to put it in the system without driving up the cost. Now of course the PS4 doesn't have to deal with this problem and they can make a cheaper sytem next time around. At least until Sony decides to push another new disk format.
On top of that The Anti-console team is being a bit extreme and ignoring some basic facts. They are calling the PS3 a failure and the 360 a money sink. Neither is entirely true. Yes the PS3 is lagging behind. But that's because the 360 had a years lead and the Wii is selling like it's going out of style. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 in month to month sales since January. Not bad for a "failure". Plus Sony never said it would be 10 years before they release the PS4. Just that the PS3 had a 10 year life cycle. As did the PS1 and PS2 before it. If they release a PS4 it will likely follow in about 6 to 7 years just like the previous generations. So 2012-2013.
And the 360 isn't exactly a money sink either. It isn't profitable in and of itself but Microsoft makes money from game sales as well and the downloadable videos and many other sources through the 360. I don't think any one expected either console to sell 120 million units in the first 2 to 3 years. They are both right on their projected targets. And as we all probably know, there are already rumors of a 2010-2011 release for the next Xbox. Now if the debate was if these companies would release a new system in the next year or two, they might have a point. But given time both consoles will start to turn a profit. Not everything is about imediate gratification.
All the more time to game.
The PS3 will pull back if it expands it's library (Although the same could be said of the Wii, if it got more good games it'd tear everything apart tbh). The next MS console will probably give MS strength again. Provided they don't decide to ring everyone again XD
i hope they do....but then again i hope they don't.
Microsoft and Sony (or one of those and Nintendo) should try to make a deal and make a game console as one (like Ninty and Sony did back when they were making a CD-Add on to the SNES (basically making it a PS1 w/SNES features, hence the same controller make-up with SNES and PS1-3)
as long as the next generation of systems STAY between 2 or 3 companies and they are a good price. i'll be fine.
*bleep* Seeker X and HawkMan, keep your fanboyism out. you act like Nintendo broke up with you.lol
however on another note, i keep saying that Nintendo should just buy Sega outright. they certainly have enough money to. and when you think about it, Sega is continually going down the tubes as they have no good franchises besides Sonic, and basically only ppl with Nintendo systems are the only ones that seem to buy thier games anymore, since most of the games theyre making now are Sonic games and it fits the demographic for Nintendo systems. plus, if they teamed up the Mario and Sonic list of characters and started putting them together regularly in games, it would boost sales for Nintendo/Sega all around (because Mario and Sonic at the Olympics sold really well, and a lot of ppl were happy with the inclusion of Sonic in SSBB).
i own both a PS3 and a Wii, i'm getting a 360 when i get money, before or after i get GH4 and RB2. so you be quiet.
and wow are you knowledgeble. i could say the same thing to you but it wouldnt make any difference. "your xbox/ps3 are the only things that make you get a stiffy"
happy? this is why i hate owning a Wii, assholes like hawkman think they know everything.
So if someone doesn't like a game? means he's bashing it? its called a personal preference. Get the Wii-mote out your A$$.
wait people like me, make you hate your wii? I've done my Job then.lmao
The initial losses are nothing compared to the money you make if create an army of fanboys.
I'll always keep an eye out for the Nintendo consoles...grew up with the NES/SNES.
Nintendo will be back, considering their console success with the Wii currently.
