If you can't decide which console you want, this might help

Funny.

Sony seem to be doing everything wrong right now - almost seems like self-destruct mode!

I wonder if Sony really are in trouble with PS3 or from when it is released it will just become as popular as PS2.

Surely it will have the 'sequel effect' where the last one was good so everyone goes to see the new one. if the new one is crap, noone goes to the following one.

thus my hypothesis is that it will be crap, but people will buy it anyway. then when PS4 comes out it dives along with Sony who are a awful company that I dislike.

The top 10 games in Japan last week were ALL for the DS. They must have sold double figure millions of them by now.

Check out this vid, lots of racing replays - all together. Nice

Wow that is well made. Freeky.

It really will be interesting to see how the PS3 fares in the next generation. As has been said they do seem to be putting their foot in it on so many fronts. It will be a real test of the brand.

This is waiting

Some people are so creative. Sonys strategy, if they have one, is incredible. I bet it will still sell zillions though.

I saw a vid about that new Wii thing. Are most people going to want to be moving around with a controller like seems to be the main thing about this thing. Looks like a big gimmick to me that will quickly get old.

PS3 got a price drop before it was even released.

Went today to the TGS, some awesome stuff on show. Need a bit of a rest now will post some impressions some other time.

the Wii is much weaker in terms of hardware, its like a 1ghz processor. but that controller looks nice and it will ship with new Zelda.

Im trying to decide whether to get an XBOX 360 or a PS3 now. they are basically the same price and almost identical specs. But PS3 will have better games...

Anyone pre-ordered a ps3? Seems nowhere is accepting any more now. They are even selling "IOU"s - we'll send you your console later on!

ohhhhh, I was such a fan of Zelda back in the day. Then picked up a 64 cuz of GoldenEye. Then a Xbox cuz of Halo. Prob with Xbox in Japan is they get Fackall for games here eh? :rolleyes:

Think my next system will be a PS3 or a Wii - Ewok seems to be a fan of Nintendo

You'll be lucky if you can get one this side of new year:

After seeing their precious PlayStation 3 launch number ravaged by component shortages and manufacturing woes, we thought our Japanese neighbors could finally feel confident in the paltry 100k share they'd been promised by Sony last month, but it looks like they've been betrayed once again. Turns out that Sony will only have 80k of the elusive PS3s prepped by the November 11th for the Japanese launch, due to another component woe. With pretty much every available pre-order slot in the country already snapped up by next-gen hopefuls, and even some of those orders on the fritz, it looks like the best chance you'll have to get the console in The Land of the Rising Sun next month will be to line up outside a non-pre-order retailer and hope for the best. Dress warm!

Im not that into them to be one of the first ones to buy it. Usually wait till that first price drop, or second, or third
