Nemesis Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yeah, Sony really screwed themselves when they announced the pricepoint for the PS3 @ that press conference. The games look stellar & all, but alot of people lost interest when they realized they would have to pay $600 just to get a game system, not to mention more $$ to get games & whatever accessories they wanted on top of that. I can see why Sony feels that they can charge so much for it, simply b/c of what they have in it costs alot to make, but @ the same time, they should know better than to turn around & expect the everyday consumer to try & float the bill for them. Unless Sony makes a drastic change in their pricing strategy, I don't really see this product taking off to cause any alarm for the Wii & Xbox 360. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 PlayStation 3: E3 Aftermath "To make matters worse, Sony’s PR machine has been turned against it in recent months. Whereas everyone was expecting the PlayStation 3 to rule this generation as early as a year ago, with all the talk about Cell and Blu-Ray, this year Sony finds the media and hardcore gaming public hostile. Jokes about the hype of years past, like the “Emotion Engine”, are so commonplace they are now cliché. This ties back to the PlayStation 2’s failure to not only not beat the Xbox, but even the GameCube, which had been derided in preview press as underpowered. Worse, the press not only didn’t cut Sony any slack when it came to their pre-rendered movies at last year’s E3, they flat-out called Sony’s bullshit. Predictably enough, this year, the games demonstrated didn’t look anywhere near as good as those overly optimistic renders. Undoubtedly the PS3 looked good, but it didn’t live up to expectations Sony created for itself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 PS3 hardware slow and broken "You end up with a console with half the triangle setup rate of the 360, a crippled CPU that is a bitch to program, and tools that are atrocious compared to the 360. To make matters worse, you have an arrogant set of execs telling us that twice the price is worth it for half the power, a year late. If it isn't already too late, Sony had better do something about this recto-cranial inversion or it may very well sink the console." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
