Developers who seven to eight years ago started working on PS2 engines are still being able to leverage that technology they created years ago in the giant and still expanding PS2 market.
That's all fine and dandy, but what about the PS3 market?
Sony has made it clear that manufacturing prices for the PS3 are on target to reach break even at the one year point just like they did with the PS2.
That's all fine and dandy too, but when will the PS3 take the 40%+ markdown so that it can actually start to compete with its lower-priced competitors?
The PS3 is selling at a rate that is right between the first Playstation and PS2.
That's all fine and dandy as well (if true), but that was when the Dreamcast was imploding and Nintendo was fumbling with the Gamecube. This is now where the 360 is an established competitor, the Wii is blowing everyone away, and handhelds are more of a market presence. The relevant question: Was the PS2 as far behind the PS1 in sales eight months in, as the PS3 is behind the PS2 now?
Sorry, but trying to spin the amazing PS2 sales as anything but extraordinarily positive for Sony is just silly.
"Extraordinarily positive?" Their last-gen system is still outselling their next-gen system, while the other two next-gen systems are also beating said next-gen's shiny black exhaust port. Yeah, Sony's still making cash on the PS2, but that system's into the fourth quarter and there ain't no overtime in this game. If you think Sony's situation is "extraordinarily positive", the Bush Administration has a PR job waiting for you in Iraq.
*dusting off the account*
Actually, this 360 owner was a PS2/GC fanboy and XBox disser readying himself for a PS3 when suddenly... 599 US DOLLARS!
One CompUSA going out of business sale later, and I got a 360 for less than half that. So much for my Playstation loyalty. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the only ex-PS2 fan in this boat either.
Still want to get a Wii too. Just a matter of hitting Target at the right time to find one...
Anyone trying to defend that policy knows nothing of international law and is defending an unacceptable breach of human rights.
So we should just let them go on their merry way then. What about the human rights of the 3000 citizens, both American and non-American, in the World Trade Center? How about the human rights of those 150 partygoers in Bali?
What of the human rights of the potential victims should we let these Al Qaeda and Taliban jokers go free?
p.s. 'i didnt like either candidate' is not a valid excuse; try again.
So, in other words, we should've chosen any of the bozos on the ballot - even if we didn't agree with any of them?
Wasn't their a Simpsons episode about this?

When was "brilliant" redefined into "major ass-covering"?
