How have sony hit rock bottom?

Because everyone basically wants a Nintendo Wii now. Everyone has gone mad for Nintendo. Sony have just done so bad this year, alot of things are putting people off. Such as the price and the controller (which has been the same FOREVER). Everyone is going to go for the Nintendo Wii because Xbox 360 is so last year, PS3 is well, I just explained that. I think that Nintendo are being very brave by keeping things to them selfs and not letting anyone know the price and other features just yet (YES, Theres more features to come!). And the games, woah! Have you seen the In-Game Trailer for Excite Truck? No? Well this is the most I've been excited about a racing game... EVER. Not to mention an all star line-up with Super Smash Bros. Brawl and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
But yeah, I would bet my life on it that somone will say its just for kids like the Gamecube. The people that say that have no idea what they're on about, what-so-ever! Resident Evil 4, Eternal Darkness, Geist? Are they kids games? NO. And now I bet someone will say 'but they're on the other consoles aswell' Well, whoever says that is wrong. Geist is ONLY for Nintendo Gamecube. So there you have it, grown up games are also avaliable on the Gamecube. So theres no way on earth that the Gamecube is only for kids, so I bet that the Wii won't be either.
Oh and last, but not least... Downloadable games. Do any other consoles have that feature? No. Yet the Wii can download almost any game from the NES, SNES and N64. Now that will certainly get Retro Gamers attentions.

I rest my case. Feel free to reply, I always have much more info up my sleve.

@Karl - The DS did look great, and it is great. It beat the PSP by loads.

Dude NO sony has not hit rock bottom.

There is only 4-5 games being releced for the WII so far, Yes new super smash bros is one of them but sony has about 10-15.. Also the PS3 has more features as the Wii. The Wii won't be able to use the internet in the same way as the PS3 will or anything like that.

Also sony has not put people off. And if they have tell me how?

And it is a good idea to put out the price as sony has done. That gives people an idea of how much they need to save and all. And company's can start taking pre-orders which will make them money now and later.

Also as sony said at E3 they are still devolping some fetures on the PS3.


So overall NO sony has not hit rock bottom.

Sony is also the leading company in electronics world wide. So NO according to sales *which are the highest of any electronics company in the world* they are far, far away from rock bottom.

Of course not, but their gaming division is about to.

There is only 4-5 games being releced for the WII so far, Yes new super smash bros is one of them but sony has about 10-15.. Also the PS3 has more features as the Wii. The Wii won't be able to use the internet in the same way as the PS3 will or anything like that.

4-5 games for the Wii?! o_O There are close to 127 confirmed or rumoured games for the Wii already and the game library is still growing, so that is pretty much false information on your part.

The Wii won't be able to use the Internet like the PS3? How so? The Wii's online gameplay will be free or charge just like the PS3's and it will feature the Opera Browser, which the PS3 will not. Also, the Wii will stay connected to the Internet all the time for improved online play. Sony is letting developers manage how they want online gaming to be, so it wouldn't be surprising if some games require a fee.

Also sony has not put people off. And if they have tell me how?

Sure.

- Pricing
- Lackluster games
- False information
- Arrogance
- Gimmicks
- Did I mention pricing?

And it is a good idea to put out the price as sony has done. That gives people an idea of how much they need to save and all. And company's can start taking pre-orders which will make them money now and later.

The PS3's launch title so far include about 6 exclusive PS3 titles. The rest can be found on the 360, which is $200 less.

Also as sony said at E3 they are still devolping gimmicks on the PS3.

Fixed.

So overall NO sony has not hit rock bottom.

You... You are kidding me, right? o_O I know 2 people in the whole of Oxford who have DS's and they hate them. Nintendo lost their touch after the SNES. Sure, the WII will be fun for a certain amount of time, SONY have consistancy. How do you think the PS1 is still about in some places? After the SNES I changed from Nintendo over to Playstation.

The style of the games just don't apeal to me.

That may be true for Oxford, but The DS is still beating the PSP in sales worldwide- by millions.

Sony has its own browser which is the same as the PSP's for internet.
And NO sony wouldn't change a fee for online gaming. Only microsoft is that stupid. Duh..

And as you already said that the Wii will have free online gameplay..

Yes, the PS3 will have a similar broswer to the PSP. And I never said Sony was going to charge for online. They will, however, let companies decide whether they want to charge for online or not. So in reality, it depends on the game if online play has a fee or not.

Nintendo is attempting to make a comeback, and I say it is do-able after the release of the DS. But the fact is, you cant judge something only from a VT.


Playstation/Sony is currently top of the gaming industry and it has been for quite some while. I refuse to belive you can judge a unfinished console. Pricing issues...OK, Games consoles dont come cheap, The PS2 at 1st release was about £300...hardly pocket money is it? PS3 does have some amazing features, and there is no denying it...as do all of the consoles. The only bad feature I belive is the price, which I think will slow sales down at first release, but as the price lowers, PS3's will be sure to be flying off the shelves.

Neversoft, PSP has downloadable retro games (emulaters) aka homebrew, Unless you are talking about something completely different. PSP completely owns ds in many ways (im typing this on PSP right now.) On the other hand Nintendo wii will probably be as good as ps3, if not better. Look at ps3, does anyone agree with me that it looks like a toaster ? Lol.
