Admin chillzatl Posted November 15, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 going to get it? Their japanese launch doesn't seem to be going as hoped. They are selling less than 1 game per console sold. It was something like 5000 fewer games sold than consoles. That can't be good, since games is where they make their money. It looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't see anything great in their launch lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted November 15, 2006 Author Admin Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 and to put fuel on the fire: "These numbers keep on getting lower and lower. Next-Gen is now reporting that the PS3 US launch could be as low as 150k units. That's a little lower than Sony's 400,000 figure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted November 15, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 its to bloody expensive. 600 is way too much for a video game console. Microsoft was smart to get out the door earlier. Although the 360 is pretty expensive too. Nintendo looks interesting with their new inovation with their controllers...not to mention the fact that it is 350 dollars cheaper then PS3.

Nicholasp27 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 i've got 7 so far, but i'm selling them 150k launch units is my wet dream...lots of people who pre-sold on ebay won't get their reserved ones (gamestop/eb didn't get enough to fill their orders) and so there will be lots of buyers and about 75-100k less sellers... = more profit!

I can't get really excited about any of the launch titles for either console, with the obvious exception of the new Zelda game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 It' too expensive right now, i may get it if the price goes down to at least 300-400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just curious, but how do you have 7 already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannes3000 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I was contemplating doing this myself, but at the price point I was worried that I couldn't sell them all (was planning on getting the full blown version w/ all release games). Then looking at eBay there were bids past $1500 a week before the release. I'll end up with a PS3 eventually; I need to get a nice 1080p HDTV first. I'm gonna pick up a Wii instead and have fun slinging that controller around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannes3000 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 One thing to note regarding the money made up through software and peripheral sales - Sony reported that they will lose around $300 per PS3 sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannes3000 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Any pick one (or more) up yet at a midnight release? I think I'm gonna stop at Best Buy on the way home just to check out the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted November 17, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I did not buy a 360 and I'm glad I didn't with all that "3 red lights of death" business. I'll wait until next spring to get a PS3 so hopefully its "3 red lights" can be deal with before I have to trouble with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted November 17, 2006 Author Admin Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 that wasn't a common problem and is even less so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannes3000 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I tend to wait close to a year until I pony up for a new system, myself. I might even do the same thing with the Wii, although I'm a little more confident that Nintendo won't have the same bugginess that Sony/Microsoft typically have (GC didn't have any that come to mind).
