PS3 Revealed ( Xbox = Chokes Hard )

[xene]

Well let me just copy and paste my review from my blog



Yes, Microsoft has finnally revielied the PS3. The console design is very gentle and proffesional looking. The specs are incredible, they are matching the official Computers Specs and even overcome it! With a bunch of new games coming out with it such as Devil May Cry 4, Grand Turismo 5, and Metal Gear Solid 4. You will not belive this come out, Absolute take over the Game Consoles. I think Xbox is going to have a hard choke on this one.

if that is it, the controller looks terrible.

Well did you read the Specs? And the controller will be changed, Sony has received many downs about the controller. I think its better to buy PS3 now then Xbox 360

[Insight]

Yes, Microsoft has finnally revielied the PS3? Sony u mean?

lol loox good....I cant wait for that Ram to begin coming out for computers :P

[xene]

Yup yup

[S:MisfiT]

im buying 360...and would by nintendo revolution before ps3.

[xene]

Well your an xbox fan...so but to compare....PS3 is better in power then Xbox and Nintendo

[S:MisfiT]

true...but damn thats one ugly ass controller, what were thoughs japanese guys thinking when they designed that...

[Tom Scott]

See the thing is the PS3 is very much more powerful but the problem is it has a higher percentage rate of failing compared to the X360.

Look at it this way in a buisness stand point. Microsoft could put ALL that PLUS more into there system and charge $600-$900 for the system or they can keep what they have right now and charge the $299-$399 which analysts have said is most likely.

Sony is making a HUGE mistake here. There making a system which analysts said will definetly e $399-$499 if not more atleast. This is bad because Microsoft will be out a year earlier at $100-$200 cheaper. Once the PS3 launches what happens? PRICE CUT!

Also Microsoft has gone on record saying Halo3 will be coming out at about the same time as the PS3. I mean a single game wont sway tons of people into buying the X360 but it could help a tiny bit. The biggest problem though is Sony has yet to establish and prove they have a online service worth having.

While on the topic of games though Xbox will be out a year before hand and will have a selection of 100+ games probably and the problem there is that a lot of those games are going to be ported onto the PS3 just like they were from the PS2 to the Xbox which means your not getting anything extra probably graphics wise maybe a little bit more content wise but thats about it.

Its just hard to see Sony being able to keep there system at such a competitive price with including ALL of that. The graphics chip in there alone is suppose to be equivlent to two of the best Nvidia Chips alone which is $1000 and also the Blu-Ray format for the disks is going to be pricey as well. The players can go for $1000. Its just extremly difficult being able to see sony be able to do this.

My view on Nintendo? UGH what a waste they are! They are so foolish there releasing ANOTHER hand held system. PSH! They just came out with the DS and thats going to die. Why release another hand held thats not even equivlant to the PSP!? The PSP is going to tear the shit out of the new "Micro. I dont know about them anymore.

Also there system "Revolution" is rumored to be only 2 to three times more powerful then the Gamecube. That is a HORRIBLE move. I mean i know they want to focus around games but the problem there is you come out with a new system and you want to be competitive with the other two but after 2 years or maybe 3 you have maxed out the potential of it while the other systems are only half way or a quarter of the way maxed out. People dont want to keep buying Nintendo's over and over again. Especially when the best game is Mario and Zelda. Seriously they announced FIVE Mario games this year, it just makes me laugh haha.

Microsoft? There a bunch of idiots as well. There taking big chances releasing there system early. They are taking a chance of going the Dreamcast way BUT there also taknig the risk of being able to have all the marbles possibly.

Not to mention how one day they will probably have a monopoly on the platform gaming market. If i was them though id spend more money on making a greater Internet Browser then a great console lol.

To each there own. But like ive seen somewhere else i see it going like this
1) Sony (Market share signifigantly(sp?) down from previous generation system)
2) Microsft (Market share signifigantly(sp?) up from previous generation system)
3) Nintendo (Stays about the same)
4) Phantom (What is up with this thing anyways lol)

Also for more news on the phantom check it out here :http://phantom.net

WELL cant wait to see what you all think.
P.S. The controllers are hideous.

[Craze]

Nintendo is bs. their new revolution on this is complete crap. u wear a pair of cool sunglasses and u cant even play a game. you just look at stuff inside a game and what if u walk into a wall? or u accidentally walk all the way to your local grocerystore? but forget them, i think nintendo is a lost case, they'll go bankrupt soon.

i actually like the ps3 controller. ok it might not be the most visually appealing to most people but at least it will be comfortable and easy to use like previous controllers.*cough*unlike xbox controllers*cough*cough*

after having read all of that, i'd still buy a ps3. sure it might take me a few years to buy one, but its worth it, and im sure my computer could keep me entertained till then..

microsoft focus on fixing all their bugs and problems and make some efficient support system and fix all their other crap before making another console. they're so money hungry they dont care about the customers...

[S:MisfiT]

actually if you watched the nintendo conference at e3, DS sold 3 times the amount in japan, and double the amount psp sold in the US.

[xene]

Well people no matter...I am still going with Sony till the end...I started with nitendo the first ever released one...Then i got my playstation....And i was amazed....And till this day i am still with Playstation...Oh and i have never faced any problems/break downs with my PS2....So you know everyone likes their own consoles and they have their own opinion....

[TeeJay]

ya i am a fan of xbox so i am sticking to xbox.

the only thing i liked about nintendo was the Zelda series and Mario!

[Spazz]

i'm an xbox fan only because of their superb online play. But right now i'm more excited about the Ps3...not to thrilled about the price though

[Lithium]

Well your an xbox fan...so but to compare....PS3 is better in power then Xbox and Nintendo

You can't judge somthing on what 1 company says. I understand you are a Sony fan, but numbers mean nothing if you can't interpret them. Follow this link i am going to give you and you'll understand. It compares both the ps3 and the 360 with graphs on each thing.

I hope this clears up a few things and the debate on which one is better. Nevertheless, these 2 systems are beastly. So I don't understand why people are so into it LOL
