A lot of the PS3 tech does seem a little overkill. My numbers may be bad, but it doesn't really seem terribly feasible to load a console with so much hardware and then sell it for less-then buying value (i.e they buy the hardware at 1000$ but sell each console at $800).

But like I said, my numbers are probably bad.

However, a lot of you fanboii's in this thread really need to cool your jets. Each system will have it's own strengths and weaknesses (like they always have in the past). Passing judgement on a system that you haven't even played yet is....shortsighted and immature, to say the least.

You are an idiot.

1. The boomerang contrpller looks nothing like the Xbox 360 controller and has in no way copied anything of Microsoft and hence cannot be sued. I am not even going to go into detail on this because anyone with eyes can easily see this.

2. The PS3 is not using the Wii's idea of controller movement. They are using Tilt technology, while the Wii is similar to a 3d mouse. Tilt technology has been around for NINE years. Also, n one knows when they truly came up with the idea, so it may or may not have been influenced by Nintendo. (Ever think the boomerang was shaped that way because using the tilt technology it will work as a perfect steering wheel?)
Nintendo can not sue Sony because there is no copyright infringement. You can't sue someone for taking the "idea" from someone else if indeed that is what Sony did. If you can, then there will be no competition because every single thing must be COMLPETELY different and only one thing will have that one feature.

3. You have no idea what Sony has been thinking of. FIRST there was the free PS2 online. Then came the pay-to-play Xbox Live.

I don't see in anyway how they are cracking. They have superb games that are just as good and popular as Halo. Ever hear of Socom? Maybe other exclusive games you will recognize, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, etc. The list goes on.

And I am certain Microsoft had more than one controller idea, as did Sony.

If you want to get the facts straight on everything that Sony has "stolen" from NIntendo, do your research. Rumble, Analog joystick, shoulder button, they were all around before Nintendo put them on their console.

Also Sony was the FIRST to use dual analog sticks, which you notice was on all the current gen's controllers.

Get your facts straight, fanboy, next time before making yourself look an ignorant 5 year old.

Also, the PS3 price is high, but you get what you pay for. They are at more than a thousand dollar lose with each PS3.

What does that tell you about service?

And as stated in previous posts, Halo 3 is coming out probably ove rhalf a year after the PS3 releases. There is no reason to be scared as it will do little or no damage to their product sales.

I really dont understand how having the second richest person owning your company makes it better than another company. And the American comment wow. you are the typical ignorant American
Well, have the second richest person in the world allows you to tap in some of their mony. That ingorant American comment well all I can say with out explaining the current world politics is f-u-c-k you.

since when did i say that Sony had everything under control
if they did, then why was Halo 3 such a surprise
and i wasnt blatant
they have been copying many things

its like Sony is Pepsi, copies everything off of Coke (the other games consoles)
the sad thing is Xbox came after Playstation

Microsoft didn't sue Sony over the controller. A company (I forget the name) made the rumble technology used in todays controllers. The company itself was part-owned by Nintendo, so the company sued both Sony and Microsoft. Microsoft settled out of court (naturally) but Sony decided to continue with the court case rather than paying millions. Sony lost, so the rumble feature had to be removed from all future consoles. Sony has now decided to go in the Wii direction and use Tilt technology.

The article is somewhere on Xbox-scene, quite a while back though.

i never said that Microsoft was going to sue Sony

seriously
Final Fantasy was a good game until they brought Disney in
it is so childish, yet ppl up to like 25 are crazy about it

i heard 1 person from what ever company helped make Final Fantasy and 1 person from Disney were on an elevator and just thought up of the idea
that is just a rumor i heard
if that is true, they need to be shot

they are, right now
they have been since Halo 2 and 360 came out

the PS3 originally had the boomerang controllers
but was threatened to get sued by Microsoft b/c it was very close to the same design as the 360's controller, the only difference was the buttons and that it was a boomerang

and now PS3 is using Nintendo Revolution's idea of moving the controller with your guy you play in the games
the joystick idea
now the PS3 controllers have that idea
if you move the PS3 controller (not the analog) your guy moves.
there is still the analog, but you can now somehow move you person by moving the controller
it shouldnt be long before Nintendo threatens to sue Sony

and with Halo 3 coming out around PS3, they are panicing
and for a long time, they couldnt think of something for themselves beside the actual games
first there was Xbox Live, then PS2 online (which sucks by the way)
and then the controller ideas
and many others

SONY IS CRACKING UNDER PRESSURE

PS3? More like POS3. This has not been a good year for Sony. Lots of lawsuits and delays.

Even without the controller problems, sonys having problems. There really aren't any big games left on playstation. Xbox has xbox live. PS3 has PS Online. People who don't even own xboxs know what XBL is, but if I go up to someone and ask, "Do you have PS Online?", there's a 95% chance they'll go, "What's that....?" Also, they're aren't many killer app series left on it. Let's see... They have Teken.... They have Grand Turismo.... And that's pretty much it. They lost Final Fantasy. Xbox has Dead or Alive, and PGR. Sony's in a hole ATM.


-Final Fantasy
-Gran Turismo
-Metal Gear Solid
-Tekken
-Guitar Hero 3
-God of War 3
-New Ratchet and Clank

and who ever made Kingdom of Hearts needs to be shot
seriously
Final Fantasy was a good game until they brought Disney in

Yes ChiCHi, Sony sold that many PS2s because 90% of PS2 owners have gone through a second or third system, PS2s are garbage when it comes to how long they last.

Also, to LongMasterWolf, so the Blue Ray technology gives the PS3 three times the graphical power of the 360? Really? So the size of the disc means better graphics? I really want to say "retard" right now but I'll give you a second chance so you can read more and learn something.

Oh yeah, Ninni721, Tilt technology... So that really has nothing to do with the Wii's controller? Because the Wii's controller works on all 3 axis including zoom and twist. how different can this "Tilt" technology be??

Last one, Dark FAlcon08... tsc tsc.. So Sony never stole anything? Have you ever taken a good look at a SNES controller and a dual shock side by side?
Try it, it could be revelating! ^_^

Really like pulling numbers out of your ass? 20% of PS2 didn't work at launch, a few months later very few broke. I'm on my first PS2 that I've had four three years.
