Can Ps3 And Wii Co-exist?

[Angel]

i do have a point, not might actually have a point, it doesn't matter if it failed or not, the PS3 is still not the most expensive system ever.

I don't recall anyone saying that it was, so just like always, you have no point.

 

[Angel]

it's $499 and $599, the funny thing is, it's still cheaper than what the CD-I and 3DO and Neo Geo cost at their respective launch, but nobody pays attention to the facts, they just bitch and cry about how expensive it is. Expensive, maybe, but it's not the most expensive game console ever made.

You might actually have a point there if those 3 weren't commercial failures. The Neo Geo is the only one you listed that was successful at all, and then mostly as an arcade platform. The AES was and is a niche console.

MIGHT...MIGHT READ YOUR OWN GOD DAMN POST. I DON"T "MIGHT" HAVE A POINT, I DO HAVE A POINT. FAILURE OR NOT IT DOESN"T MATTER WHAT MATTERS IS THE PS3 IS NOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAME SYSTEM EVER MADE, THAT IS THE POINT AND THE FACTS

 

[Ravnos]

Seriously, reading your posts is like watching someone vomit on the Internet.

I REPEAT: NOBODY SAID IT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CONSOLE EVER, AND EVEN IF THEY HAD, POINTING OUT 3 FAILURE CONSOLES AS MORE EXPENSIVE DOES NOT MAKE SONY'S PRICE A "GOOD IDEA".

Grow the fuck up and realize you're not half as smart or insightful as you think you are.

 

[Angel]

i never said that anybody did either, but look at all the people BITCHING AND CRYING ABOUT THE PRICE, i was reminding people that know nothing about video games that there were 3 systems previously released with higher price points. REGARDLESS OF THEM BEING A FAILURE OR NOT YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THERE WERE 3 SYSTEMS RELEASED WITH HIGHER PRICE POINTS THAN THE PS3, THAT IS THE POINT YOU MORON.

Thanks for proving my point.

As Ken Kutaragarakikagura said, "You will need a second job to pay for the ps3". So basically people will pay the extra just because it's a Playstation, and also because the hype created by e3 is spectacular.

what point? You're the one who's arguing something that's fact. All angel said was, "there were 3 other consoles that came out with higher prices than the ps3". I dont know why you are blowing this whole thing up and putting words in his mouth.

and btw just because he stated a fact doesnt mean he is trying to be smart or insightful in any sense of the words. He was merely stating something that would be common knowledge for someone who is a fan of video games

I have to say though...
THat metal gear solid 4 trailer brought a tear to my eye. It was AMAZING.

Seriously, i wont spoil it, download the trailer the first second you get. Snake... Oh god. Really well done.

Indeed, it was something special.

lol at angel shouting and daclassicgamingmaster coming to rescue

Its expensive its very expensive, but then so is the xbox 360. These consoles are well expensive, but then they have comical horse power. I'm wanting a sony as a cheap supercomputer.

The Wii is cheap, Its cheap enough to have a gaming machine for gamers, and one for playing with your mum, after pub fun, or a swingers party.

still not had my questions answered anywhere, will wii come with karaoke, and will the ps3 work as desktop linux.

Sorry for being on topic get fighting *Meeeww*

Ravnos, man, I feel your pain.

You'd only need the remote.

Ravnos is trying to say that noone was bitching and moaning about the price; the only comment that came close to that would be his comment of "Even Solid Snake isn't worth $500," which I agree with. I am not bitching about the high price; they have been saying it would be expensive for months now. But 500 beans for a video game system is a lot of fucking money, especially considering these games will go for at least 60 bucks.

I feel that saying 'its not the most expensive console ever' is a moot point, considering, first off, all those consoles were failures (sales-wise). More importantly, just because its not the most expensive ever dousn't mean it's not expensive!

lets not degrade this thread any further; this shit is bound to get closed if this keeps up.

Oh no, poor you. :rolleyes:

You do realise that the UK had to pay £350 for a ps2 on release, don't you?

Almost as funny as when Americans moan over the price of petrol.

It seems to me that, due to the pricing, most people will either own the PS3 or the 360. I feel that the PS3 might be the best seller out of these two. While PS3 and the 360 are battling it out for number one, as has been said in this thread, people on both sides may be buying the Wii as a second system. From this view point, it looks like the Wii has a chance of becoming the number one console. I think there is a ball rolling into Nintendo's court with their price point and marketing plans for the Wii. The only question that remains is, have they already fumbled with what they are bringing to the game? Only this next year will show the answer to that question. I really don't have an interest in entering the next generation of consoles. But if I did, the Wii really is the only one that feels and looks appealing to me. I am not a fanboy to anyone. It is the ability to play retro on the next generation console along with the weirdness of the new controller that has drawn my interest.

 

[Cyclops]

I don't care...I really dont.

If you look at those consoles price is only a small factor as to there failure, and not just price comparative price, xbox with the gubbins and extras is about the same an a ps3.

If any of you have not noticed gaming has become all about performace, graphics, high defination and maybe it always was . I can by several good computers, for the price of a good gaming machine. I can't afford one.

The interest with the wii, is they have forcused on something different, and they had to. A cheap machine, easy to program for, new interface, branding, and selling on playability. Creating a market, a buzz, and whatever they sell its *all* profit.

With all three consoles you get what you pay for. The PS3 in reality is a bargin. If Wii didn't exist this discussion over price just wouldn't exist.

nobody is bitching about the price?? maybe in this thread, but read the other PS3 threads, read any PS3 thread on the internet for that matter. I never said any SPECIFIC person was bitching about the price. People in general are bitching about the price and those people do not have any idea about any kind of gaming history.

Thats all I was saying and my point was very much valid.

 

[Huxley]

Can't be arsed reading the whole topic, but from the looks of those controllers there's a big difference in the two console's approach. The PS3 will function fine as a 'regular' console for people who don't want to look like pricks. But the option is there if you want it.

So my answer is yes.
