Sell your stocks in Sony!
Why?
NO backwards compatibility
NO good games
NO developers wanting to create games for it
TOO expensive
NOT a large enough leap into better graphics
Same controller ergonomics since PS1? I don't have tiny Asian hands!
NO rumble? didn't the Nintendo64 have that!?
I have been watching the videogame console wars and now the new HD wars and I believe that Sony is going to lose. Buying a ps3 is a bad idea because it just got nerfed. They just got rid of all backward compatibility. This means that you can't play all of your playstation one and ps2 games on your new ridiculously expensive console. This might be a half-valid idea if there were ANY good games for the PS3 but there arn't. It needs is equivalent to Halo. Ps2 is still the top selling game system even though the next generation is out. There are hundreds of good games for the PS2. People thinking about buying a PS3 now have even less of a reason to. ]
Supposedly Blu-Ray is winning the HD war. This will not matter once the price goes down enough. This happened with burnable CD's when they came out too. Burners were either CD+R or CD-R. You only could use the media that your burner could use. Sound familiar. Then, they started coming out with CD+or-R discs and burners and since then no one gives a care about it. Most people dont even know it happened. This is exactly what will happen with HD and Blu-Ray. LG already has a dual format player and is launching another http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/
Everyone is watching torrented movies on their computer now anyway. Who wants any kind of disc. They just take up space. Wii proved that gameplay wins over graphics.
About graphics, they arn't good because the XBOX360 is bringing it down. Developers can create a game that plays on the xbox360, pc, and ps3 in one try. The problem is it has to go to the lowest common denominator which is the xbox360. The graphics are the same on the ps3 as the xbox360 except for game made only for the ps3 which there are only a few.
RIP PS3.
