PS3/Wii Demand (Or Lack Of)

that's probably the only way i'd ever even consider buying a PS3.... if the price comes down, and if more appealing games come out for it. Resistance.... is not one of them.

I honestly love my Wii. can't wait for The Godfather: Blackhand Edition to come out for it. that game looks fun.
 
and because you love the wii so much you take a dig at the ps3 at every opportunity.
 
so does/did MS.... your point?

oh... and kinda off topic going by the rest of this thread..... HD DVD is going to have the backup of the entire pr0n industry. Sony isn't allowing any pornographic content to be put on it's BluRay disc format.
 
you might laugh.. but back during the old "other format war" of VHS vs. Beta that beyond 3rd party support, longer recording times, etc.. the real reason that VHS won over Beta was that there was a lot more porn available on VHS than on Beta.

edit:
now, there was technically porn on Beta, but Sony did discourage it as a practice. My understanding of BluRay is that Sony will technically allow it but it is "discouraged".
The porn industry chose VHS because of the longer play times available in the early days of VHS vs Beta (4 Hrs vs 1 Hour when they were new formats). Play time really isn't an issue in HDDVD/BluRay since both can offer sufficient space. THe porn industry appears to be leaning towards HD-DVD for reasons of cost .. especially the smaller porn studios that can't afford the higher production costs of Blu-Ray

edit2: some "light reading"

As the porn industry has admitted that Blu-Ray may be better technology (just as Beta was better technology than VHS), they still choose the other option because VHS was cheaper and could hold more data. In today's format war, HD-DVD is just cheaper and has a little more of a foothold right now in the mass consumer opinion world.

oh.... and another thing with the PS3 (and to satisfy bobsalot's fetish for me taking a stab at the PS3 at every opportunity that arises)..... don't let Sony know you ever used a third-party/non-licensed set of cables or controller or anything, otherwise your warranty goes *poof*

Not sure if you're serious about what you stated here, but from my understanding... VHS won because JVC made it free for all to use rather than reaping in money from royalties, which Sony was hoping to get from Betamax.
 
I love my 360, not playing on it so much but it feels robust, has a fantastic online network and it's an incredibly polished experience.
 
van the games that are out now for the wii, are fcking terrible, they have no bearing on the graphical quality of the system AT ALL.

it looks like most makers are concentrating on the remote and wii controls first, so hopefully the graphics will start to improve soon, for instance, i'm playing RE4 right now which is for the CG and the graphics are amazing, so the wii being a more powerful system will be able to match those graphical qualities and up them quite a bit. they should have had a fully optimised game at lunch though.

I almost sold my wii because i thought red steel was as good as the graphics get, but its not.
