Maybe, it would be really nice in all considering it's expensive and halo3 will be the best game on the market

Oh lord, another PC vs. Console battle. I'm going to end this here. Bungie's roots are in PC/Mac, eat that PC haters. Keyboard/Mouse are easier to use than a contoller, eat that console haters.

Halo 3 will put a dent in PS3 sales. people still are waiting for the xbox 360 to be cheaper and by the time Halo 3 comes out the xbox 360 will be cheaper and people will buy it just for Halo 3.

The parts microsoft has made for the 360 are getting smaller and cheaper to make already.
Rumor has it will decrease in price $100, which i think is riduculas, i say just $50 if it even does. that will kill the PS3. and the fact you cant rent games for PS3, or borrow friends games. go find out why some were else its hard to explain.

One of the things that really grinds my gears is Sony's decision to compromise the rumble feature in order to implement the dumbass 6 degree motion sensing mechanism!

You couldn't create a situation more ripe for flaming than if you had a magnifing glass in sub-Saharan Africa. In the middle of the Dry Season. At Noon.

The way I see it, anyone who really wants a PS3 will find a way to get one, so sales may not suffer as much as some people think. Also, Halo 3 probably won't be out until, at the earliest, April (Based on a Microsoft representative I talked to at my place of employment). Of course, I'd love to see it come out sooner, but I'm definitely will only be purchasing a 360 specifically for H3, and after the $800+ I'm going to drop on PS3, I'm gonna need some breathing room. And besides, just because a launch lineup doesnt look good as of yet, its still not to late to get the Final Fantasy 7 remake out in time for Spring. (Crosses fingers)

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

You are talking about TWO DIFFERENT types of gaming. When you are used to the keyboard and mouse, then you usually don't like controllers, and vice versa. So try putting actual decision making logic into your thinking. Don't just throw something out there because it sounds good in your head.

A witty signature.

Can Halo 3 kill the PS3 is what this comes down to. Uhm... hell no. It's a game, and although some may switch to 360... chances are those who waited for a PS3 will get it no matter what. It's called "Fanboyism."

  • 06.24.2006 9:17 PM PDT

If any of my friends get a PS3 I'll walk up to them with my Xbox/Xbox360 controller, shove it in their face and say "Guess what I got! Rumble! Yeah, the controller shakes when there is an explosion!"

Yes it would be childish but oh so worth it.

There are good FPS comin out for the PS3 like Fall of man and alot of people support Sony


That is the only good FPS coming out for PS3, if any. Their controllers suck for FPS anyway.

The PS3 will be done in by several factors:

1) Price tag. At $499 (base model) or $599 (the real model), Sony will be hard-pressed to find a market outside of Asia. While I believe product loyalty will still allow sales to remain relatively high, I believe the price will be an ultimate problem.

2) Rockstar. Signing on with Microsoft has taken away a very key draw for Sony: Grand Theft Auto. Because the next major GTA release will be on both consoles, people will no longer have the excuse, "GTA is only on the PS3, so why should I get a 360?"

3) Halo 3. While unlikely to coincide with a PS3 release, it will cause major problems for Sony during the holiday season in 2007. Why? Microsoft will be savvy enough to lower the price of the 360 at the same time as the Halo 3 release. Think about it: people will be buying 360s simply to play Halo 3. Now that the 360 is cheaper, what use will there be in buying a PS3?

4) Exclusive titles. The PS3 has two exclusive game series that can push sales: Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. While I find these games to be great, they are limited by their fanbase. That is to say, fewer people are really going to buy a PS3 simiply for MGS or FF, while people will definitely buy a 360 for Halo 3. Heck, people will buy a 360 for GTA just because the 360 is cheaper. You could argue that Gran Turismo is a draw, but its popularity has been waning since GT 3, and Forza is a serious challenger.

5) Wii. The Nintendo system will be marked by surprising sales numbers, mark my words. It has the type of innovation that might catch fire in Asia, and its price point is a lot more enticing.

The PS3 is turning into a luxury item now, in my eyes.

All you have to do is quote the price of the system, and it is game over for Sony. I can afford it, but paying what I did for the Xbox 360 was dumb enough. I am definitely NOT going to fork out that much for the PS3. Not even if Halo 3 only came out on that system. Sony is digging their own grave with that one.


Not to mention how shotty the first wave of Sony merchandise is. The PS3 will sell millions of units based on just the fact that its the PS3. No game, not even Halo 3 can stop that. I do think three things will happen.

1.The Blu-Ray goes to hell just like the UMD did which translates into an even bigger loss then selling the system for cheaper since thats how Sony plans on makings its dough.

2.Millions of people will shell out close to a grand on the system and games...then find out that tons of them are defective, just like what happened to the PS1, PS2, and PSP.

3.Sony finally loses its place at the top because of folly online support, expensive pricing, a useless storage medium, and lack of console only games.

i personnally am not a fan of sony gamesystems. but thats just my opinion. everyone i know who bought a ps2 had it break within a year and all ended up getting a xbox. and 600$? wtf? i mean for reall $300 is enough. as far as the asian market im not sure. i think they are pretty big on sony and nintendo. but i would take a wii over the ps3 anyday. unless i already had a 360 cause then i would take the ps3 and sell it muhahahahahah....or brake it.......
Apparently you don't have much experience with the 360. I have never seen a system lock up so much. And its not just mine, I have several friends who have 360's and EVERY one of them have the same problem. Microsoft said they had a problem with 5% of the systems (total BS) However, I love my 360, and if youv'e never played in HD, you should really try it. The Wii is a toy for 8 year olds and Asians. The PS3 no doubt will be amazing and I will buy one of them as well, but while XBox has Halo, they will always be my favorite. I think there is a large enough market for both Sony and Microsoft to make a killing. So while they are both turning out quality games, good for them both, we get more games to choose from because of it.

The Dallas cheerleader? Yeah she's hot, but Webb actually plays games. And I know that wasn't what it was about, funny video overall.

Dude wtf are you talking about The Wii is going to rock! Looking by your post your a 13 year old blood and violence loving boy. Which is normal, or your just imature. Im going to have both 360 and Wii. If the Wii is for 8 year olds and asians then i went 10 years back in time and changed race.

Nintendo has blockbusters like no ones business. i cant wait to play Super Smash Bros. and the control looks really fun. Red Steel looks like a one of a kind first person shooter. If you judge a console on sheer graphics and how much blood theyre games spill your an IDIOT of the biggest ranks. im buying the Wii cause' it seems like a fun new way to play games. i bet il have more entertaining games to play in my 250 dollar or less console then you will in your 700 dollar machine.

Zelda
Mario
Super Smash
Red steel

What more could you ask for? and thats all at around launch time. the future in my eyes looks bright.

let me ask you a question name at least 5 games you want for the PS3 that you cant get any were esle that you think will rock. chances are you cant.

Doesn't the PS3 come out this november? I don't think Halo 3 will be out by then, the trailer did say 2007. The PS3 with gain lots of sales inbetween the two launches.
