PS3 usernames?

[Foxstar]

I see a PS3 thread cannot go uncriticised as usual, I'm planning on getting one but not in the short term due to the price. The reason? Believe it or not, even if you cannot tell now, Playstation consoles always get a wide range of games that never appear on any other system. I don't care about the big name titles that every system fight over, GTA? Final Fantasy? Devil May Cry? Bleh, not of my interest.

I like the niche titles, the ones that are never advertised so you have to find them through specialist web pages. Xengo Saga, Wild arms, Shin Megami Nocturne Tensei, Suikoden, Disgaea and other such games. So as you can imagine the whole argument that the PS3 doesn't have any games falls on uninterested ears, these games always appear on Playstation systems and I don't see it changing this generation.

When the PS3 is almost four million systems behind in third place, I see it changing, yeah. Niche tiltes tend to only to to the system with the largest or second largest install base. Konami and Atlus always have done that, it's why both put their 'niche' titles out on the DS instead of the PSP.

*sigh*

I should have suspected that 'someone' would have poked at my post, it's true then, there really isn't anything you can say about the PS3 without 'someone' turning it into something negative because of their vendetta against Sony.

Since you just had to poke I'll confirm that games such as the Disgaea sub series and Shin Megami Tensei are already under development for the PS3.

What part of 'I like the games' told you that I gave a damn where the PS3 is in units sold? Especially when it has just come out? Boast your sale figures to someone who actually cares, I've already had more than enough people try to make me feel bad about which system I choose for my recreational activities like it's some sort of political choice I am required to defend.

Yet they are losing those wide range of title's. Whether it's exclusives or niche games, both go to where the money is and where they can hit the most players, so a system that while it only came out a few months ago, by the rate it is selling there just seems no reason for them to stay with it, as they'd lose customers and money.

Niche games may be the main body of the games for a system, but it's the exclusives that pull a lot of people in to buy the system and play it. And when a company starts losing exclusives left and right, save a few then it people start to think that system isn't all that good.

I don't think Foxstar has a vendetta against Sony, nether do I. But a lot of people agree that Sony screwed up with the PS3.

For one, they released a console with a Blu-ray player. Especially during the formate war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray is raging, if blu-ray loses the formate war the PS3 is screwed.

Secondly, while it may have a Cell processor that thing is extremely hard to develop for, making developers choose somewhere else to go. I don't doubt we'll see some awesome looking PS3 games a year or two down the road, but that will be too late.

I am totally getting a PS3 at some point in the future. I might wait 'til they've got some better games out though (although Resistance: Fall of Man looks pretty awesome).

And the price... I'll probably wait for that to drop some...

Another one? I don't want to get into a console pissing contest ok! Don't people get that? Why must people justify their own console purchases by bashing the alternatives at someone else's expense? Make themselves feel prouder and more confident of their own purchase choice by making everyone else feel bad about theirs? And all of this over a entertainment system? It's pathetic and selfish on so many levels it is unbearable to think about.

I don't care about your crystal ball gazing that conveniently tells of a future were every console you like wins while the others fail, I've heard it all before. People who get all their oh so valuable information from 360 and Wii forums which as we know are completely unbiased when it comes to the condition of their competitors, never mind asking anyone from the PS3 community who makes it their business to know the condition of their system within the market. You know hear both sides of the story instead of the usual “PS3 sucks, 360/Wii rules lol”.

I've had enough, I said all I wanted to say in my first post. Get your console purchase justification fix elsewhere.

Not having a PS3, I don't have a username there, but y'all might want to consider posting yours here, instead of duplicating the functionality of a sticky thread.
