Most of us can agree that the PlayStation 3 desperately needs a price
cut. But when CNN says it, whoa nelly. In a rather merciless article, CNN's Eric Krangle explores Sony's rather disappointing sales figures.First pointing out that PS3 sales are down by 19% last month, Krangle proceeds to tear down Sony piece by piece, saying that the problem isn't the recession, seeing as how Microsoft put up "respectable numbers." Despite Sony's claim that they're doing fine with the November numbers, Krangle says that the PS3 is "dying on the shelves," and gives three reasons why it's "flopping so badly":
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. Related Articles:

» 360 sucks
I would have bought a 360 over the ps3 for it's better controller and cheaper price, but the only problem is that all of the 360's games are somehow war related, and most are FPS's. Unlike prepubescent kids, I don't enjoy constantly killing things, and thats what I have GTAIV for. Ps3 may not have as many exclusives and is more expensive, but it has better games and free online service.

You're an utter idiot.
I own a 360, but i don't hate the PS3 enjoy the system you have and STFU. As for the idiot who wrote that article needs to check up on his info.
His second and third points prove that he knows ***** all about the subject. The PS3 isn't going anywhere and i doubt Sony will give up. Once this crappy economy gets better, so will sales of consoles.
I wouldn't pay any attention to this rubbish!

» 360 just offers more.....
I love FPS and all of them feel much better on the 360. I mean compare call of duty 4 and the orange box they play much better on the 360 but look better on the ps3. Now im a gamer so as long as i play all the real competition is on XBL. I played online on my ps3 and im only playing little kids. Im pretty sure i pay for XBL for a reason and its not to play against little kids. Also buying games on the PS3 is a waste because once im done thats it i cant play it anymore. On the 360 i can play it more than once going back and getting those achievements i may have missed. Bioshock feels better on 360 but it looks good on the ps3. All the better games that ps3 fanboys talk about are mostly all ported to to all systems.Can any ps3 fanboys please tell me how many good exclusive games you waited for ever since the ps3 came out till now DEC 2008. I already know about LIttle big planet. MGS4, Resistance 2 damn i think thats it. Also who would win in a fight Snake VS. Sam fisher

What a loud of rubbish. More kids are on XBL than PSN. From reading your block of text, PS3 has no good exclusive to you cause you're into shooting games. Stop saying it doesn't have good exclusive unless you're open to different genre and not just shooter.

so what good exclusives does it have that are out right now because i can name plenty that the 360 is going to have in the future but i cant bring that up because its not out yet so i cant really say anything about it. I love my ps3 the best blu ray player ever thats about it oh that and i can play my old ps2 games which are better than any ps3 game that i have played.

» Ps3 Exclusives that do/will rock:
MGS4
LBP
Resistance 2
Killzone 2
FF versus XIII
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 1 + 2
Ratchet + Clank
GT5
SOCOM (in general, even though the current one is mediocre)
White Knight Chronicles
As far as Snake vs Fisher goes... Look at it this way - If you run into a room (containing four or more grunts) all-guns-blazing, in Splinter Cell, you'll probably end up in a body bag. Snake, on the other hand, takes on a nuclear equipped bipedal tank by himself on multiple occasions. I'm pretty sure that Snake would give poor Sam a beating. (I'm not biased against Splinter Cell by the way, 'cause in the PS2 days I couldn't get enough of Chaos Theory)

» What it really comes down to
Well, this article clearly explains that the PS3 is not targeted towards low-middle class children/teens/young adults who have nothing better to do with their lives than to prove that they have no life on a wide array of online (or not) games. I don't play my Xbox360 very much just because I don't get addicted to simplistic online shooters. It also doesn't get much usage because I don't care for many of the games on the Xbox360 that aren't on the PS3, such as Gears of War 2. (Why? I don't know, its just another shooter to me.) I don't even buy XboxLive because I realized I wouldn't use it because Ps3's is free.
If people can't tell the difference in a 720x480 movie and a 1280x720 or 1920x1080 then they don't really care in the first place.
If people don't care, they buy an Xbox360/
End of story.

» Khjar, you nailed the PS3's problem with your last sentences
People really DON'T care, and that is why the PS3 is losing. They don't care that it plays Blu-Rays, they don't care that it offers an overall better value than the 360, $400 is too much to most people for a game console.
Let's be honest, the average consumer is an idiot, and has no clue what they can and can not do with an Arcade 360. So they can either walk out of the store with a console and any new game for $260, or a console and any new game for $460... Which do you think they pick?
I don't agree with most of the things CNN said (maybe if you're in your 50s and going blind you can't see the difference on anything below 50", but I sure can), but their core message is spot on: People are being very price-conscious right now, and the price of the PS3 is killing it.

The price drop of the 360 is a big factor but another one could be the huge selection of 360 games and many of them very popular. But alot of home entertainment junkies buy PS3's because its still by far the best blu ray player out. I work at best buy and lots of older people buy them because they did research on it and if they have kids over they dont have to entertain them just give them the ps3 controller. I bought the MGS4 bundle just because it was backwards compatible with ps2 games. I love my kingdom hearts games,marvel vs capcom2, star ocean, killzone, tekken, ZOE, and alot more games. The only games that are worth buying for the ps3 are rachet and clank and drakes fortune best games i played on the system hated resistance reminded me alot of killzone but with aliens. But as i was saying people think of buying a system they see the price then they think gears of war2 and they go with it from their. My grampa even asked whats this gears of war and he lives down south weird!!

ur stupid!! You can't say PS3 has a better game library and include games that aren't even out yet. I've been hearing about Killzone 2 for 4 or 5 years now, and MGS4 being the greatest game ever made is obviously your biased opinion. I think Halo is overrated but I also think 360 is the all around better console, only thing it lacks is blu-ray.

The games on both consoles are crap at the minute. Seems latley that people see the price difference as the selling point and get the 360 and who can blame them.

My 360 is modded, and I've been playing on Live. There's a certain file/patch that MS can't detect if your playing on a modded console. Also, I heard some people saying that (w/ the latest 360 update) they save the game to their hdd and use a unpatched burnt disk to boot up the game and still haven't been detected.

For straight up playing games on-line i'd say PS3 has the better on-line.
None of the major games on 360 have dedicated servers, they are all peer based, and choose an xbox to be the host.
Even with a free service Sony still runs dedicated servers so everyone has a fair experience....SOCOM, Warhawk, Resistance, all have dedicated servers that you can join, as well as peer based match making....
NTM much higher player counts in games....Resistance runs just fine with 32 vs 32 player combat....360 tops out with 8 on 8, why, no dedicated servers....

About servers; Depends on the game. Games like Halo 3 are peer-based, but there are also a lot of games which have dedicated servers.
Besides, what's gonna happen in 5 or so years (***** the 10 year lifespan, you know it's not gonna happen), when Sony starts closing down their dedicated servers?
About the game libraries; I chose to buy an Xbox 360 for two reasons: I like FPS games and all of my friends have 360s or Wiis.
About RRODs; I have never got this problem, and neither have my friends. I know one guy in my school who got RROD with a launch 360.
About Live GOLD fees; I don't think 33 euros (44 dollars) per 12+1 months is THAT much.. if you know where to get your codes from. ;-)

» Fanboys + Idiots
First of all, blinxRED, the Halo series is completely overrated. Little kids are blinded by all the fanboyism, thinking Halo's one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) game of all time. I'm not saying the Halo games are bad, I'm saying people's judgment on it is mostly part of brainwashing.
And all fanboys are complete idiots, both the PS3 and the 360. Both systems are great, and both have their flaws. Just because you own one system doesn't mean it's better than the other. Just because your friend tells you something's better than something else doesn't mean it's true. I personally own a PS3, and I plan on getting a 360. Nothing's better than the other, and nothing's perfect. Fanboys are complete dumb@sses.

You have to pay for online services for a 360 and it contains less value-adding features like blu-ray so the 360 is more expensive,

PS3 +/+ 360 therefor, they have different Pros and Cons. No console is superior.
360: Larger array of games, More users, cheaper.
PS3: Blu-Ray, Graphics.
Both are superior in different aspects.

Absolutely not true.
There's been hundreds more, "exploits," for the PS3.
At one point there was homebrew, but it was just Java.
And if we are talking about modchips, there's PS3 modchips and 360 modchips.
Since neither have an evolved scene of homebrew (Like the PSP perhaps?) that shouldn't be a factor.
Now, please, tie something around your throat, you are a waste of space and oxygen.
Thank you!

what? dude, have you seen ONE exploit for the ps3 that would let you play pirated games? no! so stfu and don't talk about stuff you have no idea about. whether you like it or not, many people decide to buy the x360 instead of the ps3 just because you can hack it to play downloaded games.

You cannot play pirate games on the PS3 unlike the 360 which you can mod to allow it.

Ps3 is the most expensive console on the market eh?
ok, let's do this
PS3: $500 with online wireless and bluray player plus free internet.
Xbox 360: $450 for an elite plus another $100 for wireless adaptor. I get that there are cheaper 360's but to be fair this is the one to use...Specially since it comes with HDMI cable. Let's add another $50 for the year subscription of LIVE.
The second reason is just rediculous. This is where his entire argument fall apart. You can't tell the difference between a blu ray and a DVD on a small screen? That's just not realistic and we all know that. Idiot.
And the third reason...Did we all forget about Metal Gear 4? And don't bother Xbox fans. I've seen your arguments. If it's not coming to Xbox it sucks and if it is it's awesome. Got get a life.

The second reason is just rediculous. This is where his entire argument fall apart. You can't tell the difference between a blu ray and a DVD on a small screen? That's just not realistic and we all know that. Idiot.
And the third reason...Did we all forget about Metal Gear 4? And don't bother Xbox fans. I've seen your arguments. If it's not coming to Xbox it sucks and if it is it's awesome. Got get a life.

$500 for a PS3? That has to be the 160GB (never seen the price tag).

» How 'bout NO!
Why do I need a wireless adapter? Why do I need to buy the elite?
The good thing, and why it is selling better, is because the 360 does not force you to buy all the bells and whistles. I have a $250 version with a 20GB HD. I don't buy TV Shows or Movies or music for it, so I don't need a large hard drive. I don't need a wireless adapter because my modem is right next to it.
So your theory goes right out the window with a little common sense....NOT EVERYONE IS YOU !

First of all, the 500USD model you use is only sold in bundles including a best-selling game(compared to the two mediocre games included in the 360 Elite Holiday bundle), so you's have to add +60 USD to the 360 price.
Also, you buy a 50$ HDMI cable, WTF? And why why would you need both a component cable AND an HDMI-cable!?
Here's a more accurate comparison:
PS3: $500 with online wireless and bluray player plus free internet and no headset, no HD component cables and HDMI cables with a free game.
Headset-$20-60(you can use any headset)
Component cables-$9 (http://www.amazon.com/AV-COMPOSITE-S-VIDEO-CABLE-GSONPS3XCAB4/dp/B00104UCJE/ref+pd_bbs_9?ie+UTF8+s+electronics+qid+1229193704+sr+8-9)
HDMI cable-$2.50 USD (http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Cable-2M-6-Feet/dp/B0002L5R78/ref+pd_bbs_sr_1?ie+UTF8+s+electronics+qid+1229193742+sr+8-1)
A mediocre game $30
Ps3 500$+$20+$2.50+$30+552.5
It is a well known fact that there is no difference at all between HDMI cables, no matter the price, so the cheap belkin cable is as good as the 120 USD Monster cable.
Xbox 360: $400 for an elite plus another $100 for wireless adaptor.It comes with HDMI cable. Let's add another $150 for three years subscription to LIVE, at which time the 720 we probably be out, and 60USD to buy a proper game like GeoW2(LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda are the games included in the Holiday Bundle).
xbox elite $400+$100+60+$150+$710
Also, remember that the PS3 model you use for your comparison has a 160 GB HDD, whereas the Elite only has a 120GB HDD(actually less because the 360 uses a lot of it for system files, but we'll ignore that for now).

@ gio2009
obviously you didnt do the same. if you buy an hdmi cable why would you also buy a component one? also who would anyone spend $60 on a headset when they can buy a bluetooth headset for at least $20. the official sony headset doesnt even cost that much unless you want Socom: Confrontation to come with it which makes it alot better than the wired headset that comes with the elite. also if you're gonna buy 2 games for the ps3 you're gonna do the same for the elite since it obviously doesnt come with games either unless you buy it now for it comes with Kung-Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones but if you buy it now that means you can buy the limited edition 160gb which comes with Uncharted and Pain at the same price. Finally, the wireless adapter isnt necessary since most people can place their elite next to a modem but im one of those unlucky individuals who cant so its a must for me.
Now it comes down to this,
PS3 Limited Edition - $500
HDMI Cable - $50(can get it alot cheaper but this one comes with a usb cable)
Official Headset - $60
3 Games - $0
Total - $610
360 Elite - $400
3 Games - $10(to match with Pain or Confrontation)
Wireless Adapter - $50(this is the cheaper one for the 360. the MN-470)
Xbox Live - $150(3 yrs.)
Total - $610
Well what do you know? Same price. Now that we ruled out the cost, which is the better console to buy(especially when the ps3 purchase comes with 40 more gbs, blu-ray, and, imo, better games to start with)?

People want wireless because they don't want to deal with wire all over the place. I have my modem in my room with a router but I don't want to deal with drilling a hole in the wall to get the wired to the living room.

» Sony is dumb
I love my PS3 and I would never get a 360, but the people running SONY are stupid.
Remember when the PS2 totally humiliated the Xbox even though it was inferior in quality. Yeah, it had better games and that made all the difference. Now, Microsoft learned from their mistakes and spent a fortune stealing exclusives, but Sony didn't. Sony focused on making a better console, but they forgot about games. In other words, they made the same dumb mistake Microsoft did with the original Xbox.
Also, Sony is stupid for not releasing a super-cheap PS3. They could release a console with no Internet, a simpler XMB, a 40gb harddrive, no PS2 emulation, and a cheaper case.
Of course, I know that the reason Sony hasn't released a "cheap" version is because they care about their brand, but at this point they are losing bad. Microsoft released a crap-box that breaks down easily and is made of inferior quality, and they are still winning! Same for the Wii.
Somebody should teach Sony about Marginal Revenue, Marginal Cost, and Product differentiation. God those people are stupid.

» CNN biggest Rumor/Hoax spreader CNN=Silly
What a kind of bull***** story
When CNN says it, it isn't even word mentioning just like Global Warming and all those other hoaxes
What CNN says is just something a kid 2 years old can make up but that doesn't make it right
The PS3 has a lot of powerful hardware inside which would cost twice the price of the PS3, and this hardware isn't being used why?, because it's reserved for the next years when developers are able to use all of the power
The Xbox 360 is dieing why doesn't anyone see that
With the Power of 360 soon it won't be able to play the latest games.
The only solution for microsoft is paying game developers a big load of cash to skim down the graphics to make it work on 360 and the sad thing is developers do that ruining the game industry
That news post really wasn't even worth mentioning
Here's my comments
1. It's the most expensive console on the market, 0 - 0 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.
Then buy a Chinese Game station for !! twice the fun it says advertised

DUDE, the smaller the screen the sharper the image(The closer the pixels are)
Shame on you dude your completely wrong
People like you ruin technology, with your smart man talk
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."
As of today indeed, wait a year later the 360 will only have shovelware because it can't handle future games
Because you don't know ***** about it ill keep it simple 360=3x3.2Ghz PC processors,PS3=8x3.2Ghz Cell processors
That is a simple answer but 8 times Cell can't even compare to those silly Pc processors

» Well...
Obviously you both know nothing...
Firstly, it's not 8 cell processors, the whole unit is called a cell processor...
Secondly, yes all the processors in the PS3 are clocked at 3.2ghz, and all the cores within the processor of the 360 are 3.2ghz....
This does not equate to a 25.6 ghz processor though....each core/SPE has to run code seperately...
So, *basically* 360 can run 3 processes at 3.2ghz each, PS3 can run 8 at 3.2ghz each...however it gets alot more complicated as both differ highly in architecture....
Also, what are you taking about SKU's for ?

» And to further beat a dead horse...
They guy in that video really doesn't know anything either...
Especially in the department of the video cards...
He kinda got his figures messed up...
360 has 48 unified pixel/vertex shaders, but cannot run 48 of each at one time.....if a certain scene requires 24 pixel shaders, then 24 are left for vertex calculations...
PS3 has 24 dedicated Pixel and 8 dedicated vertex shader pipes, meaning if a scene requires 24 pixel shaders, there are still 8 left for vertex shaders....but this can lead to wasted pipelines...
It is like RAM, if you have 48 megs of shared ram for the vid card and system, you have to split it up, if you have 24 megs for vid and 8 for system, you can use each independantly without touching the other....
He also forgot to mention that the SPU's on the cell can do vertex calculations and can make up for the lack of vertex shaders, probably the reason Sony went with so few on the RSX....

» yeah HitDyl
i see what your trying to say
but its not that simple
the pentium D comes out at frequencies up to 3.8GHz
yet a lower clocked core 2 duo will out perform it
the architechture of the chip nowadays is the most important thing
the shorter pipelines on the core 2 duo mean less data loss which means a more effecient, reliable chip
its plausible that xbox may have better architechture than ps3 so is better at processing data with little loss
but i wouldnt know
i thought ps3 run off 7 SPE cores to produce a higher chip yield
could be 9 core with 8 active though

I dare say that if you take in account the average number of games in both systems, the PS3 has more games related to war and FPS than the 360. O_o.
That just proves that you are either a fanboy who says that you "had" a 360 but then had a change of heart because of the games.
Please, be truthful at least when you want to bash something.

Please name all the war games on the ps3 and name all the one on the 360
» ahh...
I can't name them all, but just thinking about it i'd say they are about equal as far as total games divided by FPS/"war games"
360 has more games, but also has a year head start, where it got such games as COD3, perfect dark, battlefield 2 and some wwII game I can't remember the name of but it was 3rd person and kinda arcadey....
Since PS3 launched they have basically been even, as most "war games" have been cross platform and both systems have had their fair share of "war game" exclusives...
even I say...
To be fair, if you look at the ratio of fps/shooter games : non-shooter games, it would probably be a safe bet that 360 wins in having more variety.....it's definately had more RPG's, and usually when someone whines about too many FPS games, it's because they want RPG games....
I can't name them all, but just thinking about it i'd say they are about equal as far as total games divided by FPS/"war games"
360 has more games, but also has a year head start, where it got such games as COD3, perfect dark, battlefield 2 and some wwII game I can't remember the name of but it was 3rd person and kinda arcadey....
Since PS3 launched they have basically been even, as most "war games" have been cross platform and both systems have had their fair share of "war game" exclusives...

its too early to say that because the ps3 is one year younger than 360 and if u look at sony's prespective, there are not doing that bad at all, and one more thing, just wait for 2009 and see the results

Well I can safely say my PS3 is dying on my shelf. It never gets a look in as I'm always playing on my 360.
The only use the PS3 gets now is for media playing, on the gaming front it's a big let down so far imo.

Why are you fanboys threatening each other and saying your a waste of space? Maybe the problem is you are letting these companies control your brains and you need to get outside. These companies dont give a crap about you and they only want your money. The only winner is the non fanboy here because they are enjoying their games with friends while your on the forums wasting your life away.

"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."
So now the ps3 have a mediocre game library? LOL. Wait till white knight story, ff13, ffvs13, god of war 3, resident evil 5, demon's souls, uncharted 2, resistance 3, ratchet and clank 2, etc pop and you'll say it's reversed. To note: all those are for 2k9... but FFvs13 that won't pop before 2k10
Also, the x360 have some good exclusives. I mean, I bought an x360 just for 5 games (blue dragon/lost odyssey/tales of vesperia/star ocean 4/mass effect), but I'll only buy those on the x360, that's it. Instead, on my PS3, I already have 13 games, and it's gonna go up non stop, so Sony will make TONS more money on me than microsoft by the way! Sony just have a big price to drop, and that's about it.

You really have bad eyes, lol. On a 32" it's EASY to see the difference, and REALLY EASY!!! I even tryed, lol. 42" it simply POP in your face, especially if you watch both at the same time (try breacking the image in half, left in DVD quality and right in BD quality, it's not that hard to do, you'll be AMAZED!)
And anyway people don't care if they can see the difference, they buy the best, that's all.

My comment is going to be burried but w/e.
Simply put - that CNN person is so simple.
1. - To even come close to matching functionality - you need to buy the elite version of the 360 priced at $399 - exact same as the PS3.
2. - With Blu-Ray selling as much as it is - there DEF is a demand and a want for HDTVs - saying "OMG no one wants HD" is dumb.
3. - Just because MS sells you on how awesome their exclusives are - doesn't mean sh*t. Especially if you're a simple CNN reporter who just found out that the SNES is actually outdated.
4. - 17,000,000+ people seem to believe in the PS3 - I hardly think that's a "dying on the shelves" system - especially 2 years in.
Sure the 360 is gonna sell more cuz it's arcade machine is set at $200 - but that doesn't mean that it's competition is inferrior - merely that people are cheap and easily sucked into the hype.

by your offical figures, you pretty much made a case that PS3 is not dead...
17 million units in 2 years, and 23 million in 3 years....hmm, let's do some math...
Ps3 + 8.5 million units a year
360 + 7.6 million units a year
PS3 wins...

heres a shoot down for the ps3 fanboys.
if any of you ever made note of offical notes from sony you would know that sony is planning to make the PSN into a pay monthly subscription starting at and may go as high as
thats a rough price of -0 a year which is way more expensive than XBL.
now sont did say in newsreports they will NEVER drop the price of the PS3 due to it being a finacial viability.
ps3 start price right now in the uk is £300 (roughly 0-0USD)
the start price of the xbox360 in the uk is £99 (roughly 0 0USD)
look at the huge price diffrence
also the xbox360 allows backwards compatibility where as sony has now rejected that idea due to it not being
"finacially viable" you see sony all they want is money and lots of it, hell look at how many ppl sony have fired just because they are losing money.
now am not saying microsoft are all innocent, hell look at how many xbox360's are buggered.a containership full friggin 10's of thousands but at least MS fix em free of charge unlike sony who wanted £150 just to get the blu-ray drive changed in my nephews ps3, and then they had the balls to charge another £100 to replace the hdd and update the firmware / software.
the other bad thing about the 360 is that we cant use any old laptop hdd it has to be ms own firmware type where as the ps3 can use any laptop hd.
talking about hd's
xbox360 at the start only had the 20gig then they released the elite which was a 120gig and then replaced the 20gig with the 40gig.
look at the ps3 80gig DOWN to 40gig then BACK up to the 80gig and bumped the price up for that and then they released the pads with rumble in em at a premium price.
sony dont give 2 hoots about customer base all they wanna do is get your money even though MS wants it to at least they help there customers.
i have the ps3, ps2, psx, xbox1 ,xbox 360, psp (old and new slimline) , wii, ds (old one and the lite) i am not one sided here all these systems have there flaws but non more so than sonys consoles.
the old psp may have had its flaws but at least the battery lasted 3 hours more than the slimline one, also at least the old screen could keep up with games and it least it did not crash when it couldent read the umd.
the xbox was the first to introduce a multiplayer system on consoles which was reliable ( yes i know the ps2 had something like it before the xbx1 was released) but the xbx1 did much more for consoles than the ps3 or ps2 did and now the 360 expanded that by having downloads for movies, tv shows, game add-ons, full games arcade games , achevments LONG before the ps3.
sony held of on selling the ps3 due to the real reason, they wanted to laugh at microsoft when the 360 bombed and look what happend.it blew up in there face and then the went and launched the ps3 in a huge big ass launch party which was strange since the only ppl that were invited were reporters and a load of very select ppl and that the normal person wasent invited as they could not afford the ps3...seriously who would pay 0 for a frigging console which had no games with it and only 5 games at launch.
the 360 had over 50 games at launch and there worldwide launch party everyone was invited.
as for exculsives .well we have exclusive xbox only games MGS is coming to the xbox, Final Fantasy is coming to xbox theres even rumors of gran turismo coming to the xbox since the company that makes it is NOT a sony owned company.
as for making games on the ps3 and 360.
the 360 in short is a power pc which means games take less time to design and program as its just a matter of making the game and porting it over to the 360.
the ps3 has a totally diffrent type of programming which requires a sony programmer to be onsite at all points during the programming as the cell system takes 4times longer and it also means they developer must sign a NDA or the game will be refused by sony.
i could point out every single flaw for the 360 and ps3 but 9 times out of 10 the ps3 fails

I have learned good skimming skills...
Only thing I want to shoot you down on is that Sony has NEVER said anything about charging a monthly fee for PSN and online play.
Maybe your reading comprehension is as bad as your writing skills, but the only article that mentioned any type of monthly fee was one in regards to PS1 classics. They were thinking (back in jan 08) of introducing a monthly fee for unlimited downloads of PS1 games that are on the PSN.....that actually sounds good to me.
Absolutely no mention about charging for online play, Sony may be silly, but they are not that stupid.

the guy in the article is an idiot and personally im going to stick with the ps3. why we dont have a "great library" is that well it takes time anf money to make games on ps3. we all know the ps3 has an untapped potential and could turn up lots of awesome games, but developers want a quick and easy buck so they make it fast and throw it out there. look at the wii, it has some of the most pointless games, but it makes money because its cheap and it gets a new retarded game like every other week. i guess what people should realize is that the ps3 needs time to catch up, but people arent patient enough. the ps3 has many anticipated titles such as, FFX13, Versus 13, KH3(squeenix fanboy^_^)and many more, but hey for those who have high hopes for the system, keep hope alive :D

Look at all the bundles they released! How the hell do they not see that a price drop is needed. Every damn turn they just deny it. I can tell you this much, if the PS3 somehow manages to die off, I'm putting 1005 of the blame on Sony's dumbass P.O.S. marketing Teams. All of them.

blu-ray is never coming to the 360.
sony may have brought it into the world by having a 3rd party company design, build and release it to the public and in a shot they copyrighted the bluray specs n everything.
sony hasent made hardware its all a 3rd party company that does it, but bluray is dying a long painfull death.
since HD-dvd stopped bluray sales have nose dived due to there high price

I was originally all for Nintendo(cartridges saves, no mem sticks), but then they started to do things i didn't like (goofy small disks and mem sticks), while Sony evolved with the times(PS1 games can be played on PS2 and DVD's)...

i think LBP backfired because most people jumped on it because it was a free beta. that's why it was in such a high demand. people just wanted to play it for free. when it became a paid game - things changed.
despite all my sympathy for sony, i hope that ps3 will die and teach sony a lesson - it's a piece of hardware with way too restrictive approach (being unable to use full capacity of hdd and 3d acceleration under linux on ps3 is pretty much unfair).
when i use my psp with custom firmware, i feel like working with normal software platform - i can use the free sdk and throw whatever apps i can find on it. unfortunately, no thanks to sony for this one.
with ps3 you are so incredibly restricted about what you can and cannot do, even when running linux on it. i'll still buy a ps3 just to use it as a mpeg player/web browser/linux box, but i think that's about it.

» uhhh...
Seriosly, restriced? WTF are you talking about...
In regards to this subject you have to talk about Sony as it competes with MS and Nintendo.....So if Sony is "restrictive" WTF are MS and Nintendo ?
Seriously, you are even lucky you can use linux, officialy, on the PS3....every other console in history (except for PS2's failed attempt to support linux) has had to be hacked to run linux.
Homebrew, people can make homebrew for PS3 linux, you seriously think the homebrew crowd will be able to tap into the full potential of the RSX ? doubtful, the Cell provides plenty of power to run whatever the homebrew community wants to throw at it....problem is, people don't feel it's homebrew because it's programmed under linux and you have to switch operating systems to run it...
Then there is Sony's support for custom maps in UT3, a whole game centered around user generated content.....seriously dude...
You my sir, are a fool...

» well
the best example of sony's lock is their license agreement on PSN about that "user generated content" you are so proud about :
http://www.scei.co.jp/ps3-eula/psn/u/u_tosua_en.html , point 12
"You authorize and license SCEA a royalty free and perpetual right to use, distribute, copy, modify, display, and publish your User Material for any reason without any restrictions or payments to you or any third parties. You further agree that SCEA may sublicense its rights to any third party, including its affiliates and subsidiaries. You hereby waive all claims, including any moral rights, against SCEA, its affiliates and subsidiaries for SCEA or any other third party%u2019s use of User Material to the extent permitted by applicable law."
isn't that uh, "wonderful" ? there is no "user generated content" if sony is guaranteed to become the owner of your contributions. you made it - they can rip you off. legally.
as far as linux is concerned - it's a bit of a clever moral trap from sony. some people hack consoles in order to run linux on them. but what if they can already run linux? that will most likely stop most people dead in their tracks.
the way i would like linux to run on ps3 is to be as a full-featured system, and not a locked-down crippled version. that's constantly monitored by hypervisor.
as far as homebrew is concerned : (via wikipedia)
"Homebrew is a term frequently applied to video games produced by consumers to target proprietary hardware platforms not typically user-programmable or that use proprietary storage methods."
as long as you develop on ps3 linux - you are not making homebrew. linux is not a proprietary platform. and it definitely does not use proprietary storage methods. see?
as far as competition between ms and nintendo goes - yeah, every platform is restrictive. but i think sony is the one that sticks out the most. especially with their history with ps2 linux (which also was incredibly crippled).

» I still can't beleive...
you are daft enough to think Sony is the most restrictive of the 3 console companies....
Just the fact you can run linux out of the box, makes it, factually, the least restrictive of the 3.
The ability to create user generated content makes it, factually, the least restrictive of the 3. (regardless of the licensing behind it, like you would ever be able to sell anything in LBP anyways, you'd have to be EXTRA daft to think that)
The fact you can view webpages, play flash games, watch you tube, makes PS3 factually less restrictive of the 3....
Now about homebrew, I don't need your wikipedia definition, we all know homebrew is just crappy copies of established games, and emulators...all things that can be done in linux, and even by your definition, anything made for PS3 linux would be made for a "proprietary HARDWARE platform". You do know all those PSP "Homebrew" you love are compiled in linux or a linux shell ?
and just another little side note to prove you wrong even more, go try to plug the PS3 eyetoy into the 360 and see if it works....doesn't. Guess what does work on the "restrictive" PS3, the xbox live vision camera....along with most other USB devices....
Quit talking out your a$$ buddy....

[q]Just the fact you can run linux out of the box, makes it, factually, the least restrictive of the 3.[/q]it's hard to call it an enjoyable experience, when hardware access is so damn limited. linux is supposed to take full advantage of hardware in question, and not run in some irritating sandbox.
[q]The ability to create user generated content makes it, factually, the least restrictive of the 3. (regardless of the licensing behind it, like you would ever be able to sell anything in LBP anyways, you'd have to be EXTRA daft to think that)[/q]who said anything about selling? i just said that sony claims rights to do whatever they please with content you made.
[q]The fact you can view webpages, play flash games, watch you tube, makes PS3 factually less restrictive of the 3....[/q]you know well that most current consoles have web browsers with flash. don't you?

You do know all those PSP "Homebrew" you love are compiled in linux or a linux shell ?[/q]is homebrew all about games and emulators for you?
i thought rather about useful apps. as far as psp is concerned i primarily thought about pspfiler, psptube, irshell, lightmp3, pspcomic and links2. most of these use pretty low-level hardware access (like power management, of internal flash access), they definitely would not have if sony provided an equivalent of ps3 linux sandbox for psp.

Guess what does work on the "restrictive" PS3, the xbox live vision camera....along with most other USB devices....[/q]xbox camera is a UVC video device. and UVC is a common, well supported, webcam standard nowadays.
instead, that just proves my argument - ps3 eyetoy works only with ps3, because sony does not care about making drivers for it ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Eye#Software ) . it's the community that writes drivers for that device, and they have to reverse engineer it.

The point I was making about the vision camera, is that xbox ONLY allows the vision camera to work on their console, and you need to search out and install the drivers for it to work on a PC, yet it is supported by the PS3, as well as other USB cameras, which will not work on 360. Then when you have the eyetoy hooked up you can record and edit movies, or take pictures, something xbox does not allow....hell you can even then plug in a printer and print those pictures off from the PS3...
"Most recent consoles have web-viewing cababilties" 360 sure doesn't, Wii, kinda, but not with enough memory to run anything useful, and you have to buy it....
That is not me being emotional, that is me saying quit trying so say that jumping in water will not get you wet.....it's quite obvious PS3 is the least restrictive and open of the 3 consoles...yet for some reason you can't wrap your mind around that, and by saying "all 3 platforms are restrictive, but sony stands out the most" like wtf....some people just boggle the mind ...

my negative approach for sony comes from the fact that sony is one of the biggest promoters of DRM technology, one example of which you can find here : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t+119816

as far as webcams go : you might be able to run various webcams with ps3, but can you run ps3 webcam with your pc/other console? it turns out that it's not that easy.
since xbox webcam is UVC based i think it will little problems for xbox devs to adapt it for other webcams
it's actually easier to get xbox360's webcam working : http://benetleong.com/2007/12/08/howto-setup-xbox-360-live-vision-camera-in-ubuntu/
judging by that article i might get it working with my linux box pretty fast. and with no need to hunt for drivers, either. but that's just me - a guy who ditched windows in 2005 :]

Xbox360 sucks because all their good games are shooting
Ps3 is Trying to expand outside of that genre by having other companies make different types of games. thats what a good consul does.

STFU newb.
Nobody cares if you like the 360 game library or not.
I like it, and I can tell you that there are LOTS of good games on the 360 other than FPS.
