Sony 'pleaded' with third-party PS3 developers

I don't think Sony are that desperate just yet. They've got plenty of other assets they can sell to finance the PS3, like more of their insurance business ...

They also have a lot of unquestioning fans that don't think of anything except "Playstation" which is what they've always banked on.

But then again, Microsoft is pretty confident there are at least 7 titles on the 360 that are going to sell over a million units this Xmas, Sony is praying they have 1 . . .

But then again it also goes to EA and Dyaks comments this week, which don't bode well for PS3 - about unified platforms. guess what, there are unified platforms. PC & 360 share a core architecture giving them shared economies of scale. PS3 is still the odd one out and seriously looks to be going the N64 "first party only" route.

Being the rabid 360 fan that I am, this really warms the cockles of my heart.
 
The absolute final word in all of this is that you boys enjoy your console and I will enjoy mine, I currently have more than enough games to keep me busy and there are more than enough to keep me busy for the rest of the year. The old whine that the PS3 has no games is a tired and pathetic attempt to make you guys feel better, Im not quite sure why xfans feel they need to make themselves feel better though. You guys have a great console and great games. Sit back and enjoy them.
 
im seriously struggling to find the time to play halo/gears online, PGR4, Forza, so much so that i didnt even buy orange box yet.... it's insane... GOTTA LUV IT!

Just funny that its always you that troll the Xbox threads....
 
Um this is actually a ps3 thread dude! I dont troll, I just get sick of seeing people talk *** about the ps3 and glorify the xbox, If you love your console, then there is nothing wrong with being proud but that gives you no reason to trash talk and make up rumours about other consoles.

Ect ect ect
 
You see now thats the difference, if I was to post links to all the xbox troubles I would imeadiately be labelled a fanboy and a troll! But because this site is 90% xbox owners, you guys all troll on the ps3 with no problems!
 
um I've got a wii. This thread is specifically about the PS3, that's why we are talking about the PS3. Just chill dude. Another thing is most people think think Sony deserve all the troubles they get. They are arrogant and don't care about their customers.
 
You fanboys are all wrong. My SE K750i has got WAY cooler games than any giant corporation can manage to squeeze through their sweaty oily pores.

I propose that we have a console burning this weekend at all shopping mall parking lots and that we all proclaim the mighty K759i superior. And we stone anyone holding a *spit*Nokia or god forbid a motorola */spit*. We all know that their java implementations are, like, sooo limited and stuupitt!

Well, no, you get labelled a fanboy and a troll because, well, you're a fanboy and a troll. I should know I wear both badges with integrity and pride. :p

You're more than welcome to post an issue with the 360, provided it doesn't contain anything along the lines of "And that's why PS3 is better", which is what you always do, and which is what people take issue with.

I tell you this. My experiences on these forums (different section) over the last two weeks have put the concept of troll into perspective. abev certainly doesn't qualify as a troll for me any longer. ;)
 
Thank you gouged eye, I really appreciate that, especially considering that we have butted heads in the past. I never come here with the specific intent of beating on the xbox and I never post anything just to get a rise. I post in response to comments which I feel in my opinion are aimed at discrediting the ps3.

Alot of people tell a person to just wait for the PS3 to catch up, like give it 2 years from now and it will be a worth while investment! My boggle with this is that its 2 FREAKING years away ?? who knows what other consoles will be out by then! the WEE and X1080 :D are like pwn'ing everything in there path !!

What is a person meant to do?

Me, I'll get the machine with the most games and cheapest price.
I got a PS2 3 years after its release cause the launch price was insane and I enjoyed it immensely.

So for now I'll get a 360, in two years when "the PS3 catches up" I'll consider getting one. By then it'll be reasonably priced and have a nice catalog of games.

Until then though, I'll just leave it to the fanboys.

Lol, don't worry. I'm sure we'll find something to butt heads over again. :) But seeing as you PS3 guys are seriously outnumbered, and Tibby seems to think I'm a PS3 fanboy, it might be mre fun to go pro PS3 for a while. Not that I've ever picked up a sixaxis in my life.
