Sony might wait till 07 to launch PS3!!!

Your early adopters,  who are they?  I don\'t know many.  I only know of a few on this video game chat board that say they want any next gen system on launch.  Most say they will wait for better games for the system etc

The original Xbox didn\'t sell out at launch where I\'m at,  I don\'t think it ever did.  In fact,  I think the older PS2 was in higher demand,  maybe even the PS1.  I remember looking at how many Xbox boxes were left compared to PS2.  At times there wouldn\'t be any PS2 boxes left but there would be a ton of Xbox boxes left.  I thought "how pathetic"

Even if the Xbox 360 sells out and there is a shortage,  so what?  100% of the people I know/talk to got their system 6-12 months after it\'s initial release.  These people are a much larger audience than earlier adopters as you call them.

By not being an early adopter,  these people are not hardcore like their early adopter (as you like to call them) counterparts.

Non-hardcore gamers don\'t save up money to buy $300 consoles.  They either wait for a price drop or tax return or something else.

Now lets say Mom A goes into a Electronic store.  It his December 1.  Little Johnny wants to play video games.  Now Mom A is looking to buy him a system that will play video games.  She sees the new Xbox 360 for $300 but she also sees the PS2 for $99.  

What do you  think Mom A will buy?  

What do you think Mom B will buy?

Sony wins either way

Why rush the PS3?  There is such a rabid fanbase they could release the thing in 2008 and it would still outsell everything.  Who wants a buggy console?  Who wants poor launch games?

I WANT Sony to delay the system.  The games are so early they aren\'t even playable,  heck,  most of the games we\'ve seen so far aren\'t even \'real\'.  TGS MAY have playable games.  Don\'t rush this,  Sony

What an absolute mess of words.

The early adopters are the people who shell out $300.  They are the people who are willing to pay premium prices for a new console and for the few new games (no platinum level games early on and not a huge library).  There are always early adopters, and now that Microsoft has created a name there will be a demand for the Xbox succesor.  

The largest and most significant audience is the casual market.  These are the people who don\'t jump on board until a price drop or two and a great number of games are available, and usually at cheaper prices.  

Everyone starts at zero for this next generation.  The longer Sony delays the release of the PS3, the more time they give Microsoft and their 360 to gain a casual market share, that which Sony thrives off of.

dated play

Well you have to admit a 17fps Killzone 2 and a 30fps messy looking GTA4 may look slightly better on PS3.

i don\'t have any delusions on if godfather will be good or not, i just prefer to play it before passing judgement.  EA may not be the best company in the world, but they have done the odd good title here and there.

according to tech demos yes.But they look too good to believe that we will get the same results in real playable games.

For now I see things with a bit of skepticism

I love being a late adopter. I bought a used PS2 (the sleek, small one) and Xenogears three days ago and am having a blast. Before that I was save-stating away on my SNES9x and being wowed by the inclusion of voices in Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia. Thinking of getting FF7 and Chrono Cross next. I lost 4 years of gaming to the GPA and SAT. I\'ve got 50 days to make up for that before I head off to Cali for college. Life is bliss.

PS1 still selling well, 10 years later. PS2 is selling very well, nearly 5 years later.

Casual gamers, specially those who are in a bind for cash, will buy the cheaper console like the $99 PS2 and their discounted games over the newer $300 Xbox and their $60 games. They will know the PS2 can play PSX games coz by now, I\'m sure even the most busy moms will have been told this from their kids.

It\'s not a bad strategy for Sony although it may back fire and either way, MS loves both scenerios. This gives them time to establish their user base, pump out more games. They\'ll have games to debut on the PS3 launch and such.

Ahm....I dont think PS1 is selling well.It still sells but not well.But its true that the PS2 still has some life left.

I have my conscerns about PS3\'s probability of being delayied though.

2007 may be too late for PS3 to be released.Sony might be making profits till then but what happens if the XBOX360 succeeds to such an extend that the PS3 wont seem as a signifigantly better product to make many people prefer it?

PS2 may continue to sell but it wont make others not buy an XBOX360.XBOX360 will also sell.And it will have a lot more games available when the PS3 is released in 2007.

Not to mention that a whole year will give the chance to developers to exploit better the console\'s hardware.

Now you will say "well this counts also for PS3 thus we will have better games in 2007 than if it was released in 2006".

Thats debatable since developers will be motivated more to create more games on a released console on which their products can be sold.

Developing many games on an unreleased PS3 for a long time doesnt seem like a good idea to me especially now that games are more costy to make.

PS1 is doing well, in terms of its age and current state of technology. Jeez, Unic, I think donkeys has more intelligence than you. You need to climb back up the trees and hang out with the chimps.

screw that
we don\'t want him either

2 more years of ps2 sounds like shit. I tired of the current gen a long time ago. Maybe in 2 years sony could come up with a less retarded looking controller.

In any case I don\'t think sony is dumb enough to launch there console in 2007 and xbox 360 is launching in 2005. I see it launching in 2006 spring like predicted.

Everything falls and comes to end. And a move like this would just seem dumb. IF true then all the analyst prediction of the fall of  the sony error would start to look true.

But with all the hype and talk from the "father of playstation" Sony not launching in spring would make all the talk he done and boasting of the jake of all trades seem mute.

Oh and an English class or two wouldn\'t hurt you.

This tool is telling someone online to take English classes lol

I see next gen game dev daily now.

Some games are indeed polish, but the big name projects are indeed :eek:

Personally I do think launch consoles are special. The graphics i see in development won\'t run as smoothly on the current average game pc (at gamer\'s enthusiast eye candy settings) as on Xbox360.

It\'s probably gonna be like this ; big name Xbox360 game will run and look great on Xbox360.  That pc version of that game will probably only run decently at downscaled settings on a 3,2 Ghz pc with a 6800GT/X800 card.

PS2, has enough good games for me coming up ;

Okami by Capcom
Wanda & the Colossus by Sony
Formula One 2005 by Sony
etc.

Its you who didnt get the point
What sells better and brings the most proft for Sony?PSone or PS2

It doesnt matter if it\'s doing "considerably well" in terms of its age, technology etc but how well relative to the other consoles(edit: and the revenues the company is targeting and costs).

If the PS2 didnt do well this "PSone\'s good state" wouldnt mean much to Sony except the fact that the next gen PS2 product was failing bringing losses.

With other words the product that brings the most revenue matters the most.PSX is only some extra revenue for Sony and nothing more.

If PS2 will be selling well considering its "state" in 2008 it wouldnt be enough to overshadow how well or badly PS3 will be doing and it wont be bringing the revenues Sony is targeting.

oh and btw
