Well, right now the 360 is outselling both the Revolution and the Wii, so it's winning...for now.
I expect the Revolution to catch up, possibly surpass it in sales, but the PS3 will be DOA at $600 for the non-'tard SKU.
Look at how Sony has handled the PSP so far...you want to spend $600 on another Sony console?
They had HUGE street cred with the PS1 & PS2, but they've lost it all through their arrogance, piss-poor PR, mishandling of the PSP, and overpriced PS3 VIDEO GAME CONSOLE.

Me: Who agrees that with me that the Wii is going to own.

Friend: What? Are you serious? The PS3 is going to own!

Me: No way, the PS3 may have amazing graphics, but after a while, who cares? And who would buy a PS3 at $750?

Friend: Because it's PS3.

Me: So what?

Friend: It's the PS3!

Me: So what? It's gonna be craptastic..

Friend: But it's the PS3!!

Intelligent people don't butcher an entire language. Just reading your posts makes it hard for me to believe you're older than 9.

Besides, you goto school, so that you don't look like a moron when you try to communicate with others.

it was getting annoying, but what can I do, when people complain about me when i say u instead of you

Well, I never liked the Test Drive franchise at all until I tried out Test Drive Unlimited on the 360. Now I love that game...mostly because of it's wide-open "exploration" style of driving around.
It's got a decent multiplayer aspect as well...
See, I used to hate something then they finally came out with something that appealed to me and then I bought it.
But so far there is not a single game coming out for the PS3 that would make me invest $660 just to play it.
Not a single one. Most of them are coming out for the 360 as well anyway, so what's the point of the PS3 again?
Oh yeah...to play Blu-Ray movies and buy stuff online. Thanks, but no thanks Sony.

But NEVER at launch.
It usually took them 6 months to a full year to get out any "must have" titles AND they launched with MORE than just a measly 500,000 consoles world-wide. The PS2 itself is reported to have shipped (sold?) more than 900,000 in Japan during the first week of launch alone with 500,000 for the U.S.
The problem with this current PS3 sales strategy is Sony's roadmap to profitability itself conflicting with it.
Investors see that and turn away from investing in or recommending that stock.
Lack of investors results in a downward spiral for the entire company and public confidence erodes away.
A company like Microsoft can get away with a devastatingly horrible launch just because it's NOT their core business and they didn't move resources (read: money) from other divisions within the company itself to pay for the R&D costs.
It just used that ****load of on-hand cash for everything xbox/360-related.

Might I remid you that the original PlayStation had a cracking launch line-up. Some would say Saturn-destroying.. ;)

The measley 500,000 and 100,000 launch units for USA and Japan respectively is pretty stupid though. Prices on eBay will be sky-high.

The only reason people thought it was neat was because - outside of the Dreamcast - they had never before seen "arcade-quality" gameplay and graphics on a home console. And arcade ports were what they were with Ridge Racer and Toshinden. And you have to remember that it when it launched in the U.S. it was already OUT in Japan for nine whole months, giving devs a lot of lead time for U.S. titles.
Combine that with a MASSIVE ad campaign and of course it will do well.
But folks today are over that. And it's a "world-wide" simulaunch.

Yup, and it's all due to Sony's arrogant move of shoving Blu-Ray in the PS3.
They made their bed, now they can die in it.
It's one thing for the video game division of a company to lose 94% of profits from the same time a year ago, it's another when it's the ENTIRE COMPANY losing those profits.
I don't see Microsoft losing 94% of their profits across the entire company.
And Nintendo's profits are up, up, up from the same time a year ago.
How will this affect the gamer? Simple, if Sony tanks then they have to either fold their game division or fold everything BUT the game division.
Which one do you think they will write off first? The games console division.
Investors and debt holders are already smelling the blood in the water...

No....Why i post here?.
Just to remark all the post here are about Sony sucks but no one sez we will miss link-sang or has nothing to do with link sang.
Just generic "Sony Sucks" Statements.

You know like "i will not buy the Ps3 that i was not going to buy anyway for this",and crap.

I can probably bet that if Nintendo were doing this (Which they did before Sony and Microsoft)people will say something like "Nintendo is our savior", "Nintendo had a good reason" or something.

My mayor lolz to all of you J-holes.

This guys does have a point. And as for this entire case, I'm not sure who's side I'm on. Yes, it was definitely wrong for Lik-Sang to sell PSPs to Europe before it's ship date, but the delay wasn't welcome either. SCEE's obligation is get their products to the mass with no BS. However, I do always stand up for the little guys. Lik-Sang should not have received such a savage beating from Sony. So, I am against Sony on this one. Furthermore, there are other companies that do either the same or other things that very much result in more damage to Sony.

That guy has no point.

What Lik-Sang did was not wrong. If I bought a PSP in america, and sold it to a friend in England, I certainly wouldn't find anything wrong about that.

And I also don't think that the Company had anything to do with it. Most of people who said "I'm not going to buy a PS3 now", never had any intention of buying one. This just strengthens their resolve. I mean, this move certainly wouldn't make you want their product even more.

For a huge Company like Sony, to take such measures over petty bull**** like this, is absolutely rediculous.

What they should have done, is taken Lik-Sang's bussiness as a hint... That Europeans are tired of being f-ed by Sony.

and their gonna be even more fed up because of the ps3 release date

anyways, the end of lik sang was gonna happen anyways, remember MS and Nintendo also sued them before.

Difference between the previous law suit (which involved Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony) was that was about mod chips which have mainly illegal uses.

This trial was for just importing a product ¬_¬
