sony's Ps3 need to climb out from its own grave

Ok, so now, we all know that Ps3 is dead end at no 3 trailing xbox360 and wii. After 2 years already, ps3 still hasn't done anything major to sell their ps3. It's a sad story to say as ps and ps2 is way successful compared to nintendo although they are already in business way longer than sony. Ps and ps2 combined sales is over 250 million. nes,snes n64 and ngc combined is only 160 million. So you can really see how successful sony was back then.

ok, so now xbox 360 and wii is winning ps3 like hell. but xbox 360 did not win sony easy. (I will be talking about xbox360 and ps3 only as the only competition left in this generation is between xbox 360 and ps3, wii is ps2 already). When xbox 360 first came out, people were speculating that ps3 is gonna win this generation,shutting xbox 360 out as another xbox. When xbox 360 came out, it sold out in almost everywhere and continued to be on top of ps3. But the win did not just come, microsoft has did something to win. They cut prices, they cut down on the rrod case which is one of their biggest ass, they snatch exclusive of ps to them( ok, you may say that microsoft bribed them, but, they still did something unlike sony who just waited and see their games fly off).

Lets talk about ps3 now, when ps3 first came out, it was an overprice ass machine. Although sony has slash prices of ps3 by alot from its initial launch, they still cant compete with microsoft who keep cutting down their prices like theres no tomorrow. About games, i am so pissed off at sony. Ok Devil May Cry 4 going to xbox 360, wtf it ignited a public outrage in japan. i remember there was a few group of 5000 playstation/capcom fans in japan trying to fuck capcom for porting dmc4 to xbox 360. They planned to boycott all capcom games including dmc 4(which they are a huge fan of the game). They practically fuck themselve when GTA 4 was released for xbox 360 too. It was the only few game that can change the game in this generation and sony just blew it. And the big bomb landed when Microsoft announced that Final Fantasy 13 is coming to xbox 360. Ps3 may have just died at that time. It was possibly the last huge game to come in this generation and xbox just snatch it.

And all, sony did nothing at all, they didn't counter bribe them, they didn't slash the price even more and they didn't provide a better online experience than xbox. It was maybe because the last two generation sony was way ahead of everybody and this generation they just sit back and watch and thinking that their sales will match the last two PSs sales. yes, they still have wonderful game this year, gt5, gow 3, infamous, killzone2 and others but it still not enough. A 100 dollar/ 360 ringgit price cut is perfect but its still a rumour the exec has been denying and sony is losing billions of dollars.

At last, i hope sony will buck up(cut the price of the console!!) as they have still alot of time to come before the time ticks for the ending of this generation of game console.

  1. Sony already losing money for each console they sold, the same for microsoft. PS3 are not overpriced, its just that you can't afford to buy it. Don't get agree and blame them for that. Just be patient, and wait until they reduced the manufacturing cost as technology always evolving. There will be the time when Sony wins again. There are a lot of Sony fans out there waiting for the right time to buy a PS3, mainly the reason they are waiting for their favourite game(s) comes out and at the same time, hoping that after time pass by, they are able to get PS3 at cheaper price. Same for myself, I'm waiting for the new Final Fantasy come out and by then I will get a PS3.

  3. sony has never slash the price for the ps3 before.... n just because microsoft got some of the sony exclusives doesnt mean its a bad thing. y do ppl focus so much on that? its not 2 say the game wont be coming out for the ps3, it still is so y waste money on tryin 2 get or keep exclusives by payin the developers millions of dollars? n so wat if sony doesnt win? it doesnt really affect us as the gamers cause we will still get 2 play games no matter who wins the console war. last but not least, i m a person who reli dislikes microsoft from windows 2 the xbox360 n i own a ps3 myself
