ive played the final fantasy crystal chronicles for cube not quite anywhere near as good as the ones for PS and PS2. But i think that Wii is definitely gonna be at the top if it wasnt for "the magic four" as said by vivman i would probably buy the wii instead but i addicted to metal gear, final fantasy and tekken my bro addicted to GT so we still gonna get ps3 but chances are well get a Wii too.

True about the Cube FF, but it was a totally different experience from the PS versions from what I've heard. I was talking about taking the original FF and future versions that they are currently developing for PS3 over to another console ... in other words, the ones with the big CG cutscenes and equally big hair. If that can be done, it will surely weaken the Sony hold on many gamers.

Been through 2 ps2's, both original and slim, and they both give probs and had to fix. I would hate to pay sooo much for a ps3 and something goes wrong. So is Wii for me!

not a fan of halo ... God of war > Ninja gaiden. Gears of war looks aight but not enough to make me switch  and Oblivion... anyway to each his own i dont like anyone saying one system will dominate even if its PS3 i think all systems should survive because each has its own fan base. But im a Huge fan of nintendo and sony I really personally dont think microsoft should have gotten into gaming. But i respect anyones opinion im getting both PS3 and Wii most likely ill get ps3 first.

Like you said, blood, to each his own. PC is good for 3 things, IMHO - RTS, FPS and RPG. They really kick @$$ at those. Also, turn-based strategy like Heroes V and for those who enjoy it, simulators (flight sims, racing sims, etc.). I can't take on those simulators that use the entire keyboard but some people like them. I wouldn't say they have the best games on PC but in those genres, you can't beat it. Some games are just suited for consoles, though, and with Wii upcoming we will see an even bigger difference.

Bad news for the Sony faithful...500K units? BIG ouch...

Sony PS3 EU Launch Delayed Until March '07, Only 500K Units for US, Japan Launch
Sony revises its PS3 launch schedule

Well, here's some rather interesting news from the Sony camp. Sony has originally planned on a November 17 global launch for the PlayStation 3, but those plans have been completely hosed. It is now reported that Sony will delay the launch of the PS3 in Europe until March of 2007. To make matters even worse, Sony is only going to make available 500,000 total units split between the United States (400,000) on November 17 and Japan (100,000) on November 11. For comparison, Microsoft had about 1.5 million units of the XBOX 360 available at launch -- and we all know how well that went over.

"We decided to focus on the Japanese and U.S. markets. I am so sorry not to be able to answer to all the expectations," said Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi. Problems with manufacturing blue laser diodes are putting a serious strain on PS3 production and are part of the reason for the delay and low launch numbers. Kutaragi went on to say “We've been working hard to try to tackle the problem, but we see the delay is inevitable."

Mass production of Sony's Cell processor isn't even expected to start until the end of this month according to Kutaragi. And as a result of this production snag, Sony has revised its shipping estimates from 4 million units at the end of 2006 to just 2 million. Bottom line: if you thought you were going to have trouble getting a PS3 this year, your chances just got much worse.

Hmm ... If I could somehow get one of those "limited edition" PS3's, I could put it up on eBay. Then with my small fortune, I could buy a Wii, 360 and quite a few games. Yup, PS3's are probably going to go for around $1,000 US this Christmas (in the US).

Yeh, that was just some predicting based on the $hitstorm that happened last Christmas with de 360. Remember people getting mugged for a 360 and ting? Dat go be nothing compared to this year. Remember the prices you had to pay for one? It was almost double the price in some cases (bundled with stuff of course) IF you even got one. Plus, they had more units to sell. Sony just asking for trouble, yes. I sorry for de Sony boys in T&T. I doh see anybody paying less than $6,000 for one this year. I just doh see how is possible. Then, with the markup you see here ... you could be talking $8,000-$10,000 depending. Talk about mind-blowing $hit.

From IGN PS3 FAQ

Quote
Composite, S-Video and component are all possible via AV cables, but for the best image quality the 60GB version of the system also employs a built-in HDMI connection.

It looks like you don't HAVE to get a new TV but, of course, just like with the current gen systems, if you get a HDTV you can get a better picture. Remember Xbox, PS2 and Cube all have available component cables to output to at least 480p with some games. How many people actually use those cables, though?

Shortages of PS3s hit US/Japan

More and more problems for Sony

By Dean Pullen: Wednesday 06 September 2006, 14:43
 
NOT ONLY HAS Sony moved the PAL launch of the PS3 to March 2007, four months later than originally planned and only two months before the original release date, massive shortages of the new console will affect the Japanese and North American territories upon its launch.

Sony Computer Entertainment Chief Ken Kutaragi told reporters that Sony has drastically reduced the expected shipment allocation, with the US set to receive only 400,000 units, and Japan to be allocated an absurdly small 100,000 units.

Accordingly, Sony has now lowered its estimate of four million consoles shipped by the end of 2006, to a more realistic two million. However, the global shipping target of 6 million consoles by the end of 2007 has not been changed.

Kaz Hirai, president and chief executive officer of SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America) was recently quoted as specifying that a reduction in shipped units would occur in an interview with Gamespot, which was reported by the INQUIRER, and then later retracted by Sony - so its plainly to observers that these issues have been known for some time.

The PS3 has been a point of contention for some time, but despite reported yield problems with the unit's main Cell processor, the Nvidia GPU having been bolted-on to allow for Cell short-comings, the costly addition of the Blu-Ray drive, draconian DRM measures, and a flood of fanboy mail, Sony seemed to have slowly gained momentum and things were looking up for the firm, and the Playstation 3. Not now. These announcements amount to more egg-on-the-face for Sony in the ongoing PS3 saga. µ

I am quite happy sweating my Xbox 360, Halo 3 will be out before I could think of getting a PS3, so I will be happy. No need for a PS3 on launch anyway, not worth the aggrevation and stress of dealing with pre-orders, not getting our pre-order etc etc. So it's Gears of War, COD 3 and Halo 3 for sure.

This is semi-related to the PS3 launch. Micro$oft is going to launch the 360 core system in Japan when the PS3 launches.

Microsoft Launches Cheap New Xbox 360 in Japan
by GamePro Staff | 09/08/2006 | 9:48:05 AM PST

Microsoft is planning to launch a cheaper version of its Xbox 360 games console in Japan a week before the PlayStation 3 is due on sale.

The Xbox 360 Core system, which is already on sale in other markets, will go on sale in Japan on Nov. 2, the company said Friday. The console doesn't include several components present in the full system, including a hard-disk drive and headset, and as a result is cheaper. It will cost ¥29,800 ($256 US), which is half the price of the PlayStation 3 and $43 less than the $299 Core model offered in the US.

Initial versions of the core system will also be bundled with two popular games: Project Gotham Racing 3 and Ninety-Nine Nights. These games and three other titles will also be re-released on the same day under the banner "Xbox 360 Platinum Collection" for ¥2,800 -- or roughly $24 US, a competitive price.

That cheaper console could increase pressure on Sony which is looking unlikely to be able to satisfy demand for the PlayStation 3 on its Nov. 11 launch and in the year-end sales period. Earlier this week the company said it will have 100,000 units of the PlayStation 3 shipped to retailers for the launch, a fraction of its original claims.

Based on previous PlayStation launches, that's sure to be far below consumer demand so consumers will have to decide whether to wait until a PlayStation 3 becomes available or go for a competing console for half the price.

Nintendo launch of its Wii console will fuel the competition in the Japan market. That system is due on sale sometime between October and December and is expected to cost around the same as the Xbox 360 core system.

In Japan, Microsoft will continue to sell the Xbox 360 full version, which also includes a 20 GB hard-disk drive, wireless controller, remote control, high-definition analog cable and Ethernet cable, for ¥37,900 (roughly $325 US).

"If you asked me if Sony's strength in hardware was in decline, right now I guess I would have to say that might be true," game unit head Ken Kutaragi said after Sony pushed back the PS3's European launch by four months to March.
