white console looks pimp but makes it look fatter

Sony's (SNE) PS3 is dying on the shelves.

Alone among the three major videogame consoles, sales of the PS3 are down about 19% from November 2007, according to the latest stats from the NPD Group. Sony was only able to sell 378,000 PS3s this November, compared to 466,000 last year.

And the problem for Sony isn't the recession, it's the PS3. Microsoft (MSFT) put up respectable numbers with its Xbox 360, selling 836,000 units vs 777,000 in November 2007. And Nintendo's (NTDOY) Wii continues to dominate the market, more than doubling sales from 981,000 to 2.04 million.

So why is the PS3 flopping so badly?

1. It's the most expensive console on the market, $150 - $200 more than its rivals. Even if you believe the video game industry is "recession-proof" (it isn't), a tanking economy makes consumers more price-conscious.
2. The PS3's big bonus is its ability to double as a Blu-Ray player. Too bad no one seems to care about hi-def DVDs. The differences between Blu-Ray and DVD are hard to see on a TV less than 50".
3. The PS3 just doesn't have any must-have titles exclusive to the console. "LittleBigPlanet" has generated decent buzz but isn't a game-changer, and neither is Sony's new virtual world "Home."

There's really only one option left for Sony to remain in the game: deep price cuts, and not just for people with good credit. Tell yourself the PS3 has superior graphics if it makes you feel better, but a $400 console with a mediocre game library simply cannot compete against an Xbox 360 priced at $200 in this economy.

A white PS3 is a step in the right direction. Too bad it's expensive to import. IGN once caught the registration for the white PS3 in the US, but nothing else ever came up. Come the fuck on, Sony, stop being assholes with restricting the US from color options as always.

inb4 this guy goes and finds the only people on the internet who rated lair and haze as a good game.

Looks like its time to go to SDF then.

>The ps3 makes up for not having hundreds of genric shootan or rehashes of games by having a number of different games and the quality and content of thos games being greater than any content on the other 2 consoles

>We make up for less games, by having less games

OP here make up for having less games by those game being full of great gameplay and extra content.

Yeah, if you're Stevie Wonder.

The difference between a 1024 and 1280 vertical resolution PC monitor is noticeable, and that's a smaller screen and smaller difference in resolution. Unless he/she's assuming we all sit 30ft away from wherever we watch videos.

In terms of hardware the PS3 is the best no doubt. XBox trolls love to brag when they nab a game from Sony but on the PS3 the game looks and plays better with no RROD and in true high definition.


>So why is the PS3 flopping so badly?

Lol there is a difference between a flop and simply not selling as well as the others. The PS3 is doing fine for it's price and for the economy.


MS - took PC hardware and re-packaged it as a console

Nintendo Wii - took really old PC hardware, repackaged it, and threw in a novelty controller.

PS3 - the only console that truely brought something new this gen of systems.

PS3 is a wigger.

Really, if you hate on the PS3 you're just a poor nigger who can't afford one. Suddenly you use the internet to LEARN about games and become all butthurt.

>more better

Someone already has a Haze picture? Oh, good.

The commercials say that blu-ray movies on a HDtv are the only way to watch movies. Luckily, I'm not a shallow, or just richfag, graphics whore who can't watch old tv anymore because it's NOT EXTREEEEME DEFINITION ENOUGH FOR EXTREME FELLOWS SUCH AS MYSELF

i figure i'll ride the DVD train until the recession is over, at least. which is another year or two at least, assuming the new administration doesn't do something monumentally fucking retarded. I assume they won't, however, not being Reaganomic republicans.
