It will be like this until developers start realizing just how strong the PS3 in starting to become
Of the few people that I know that actually own a PS3, they either own or simply watch more movies then they are playing games.
But then again these are the same people that think the Resident Evil movies are good.....
It's called PlayStation 3, you know, from the Playstation lineup of video game systems. Ever heard of it?
360 being a "gamers console"...well, if you were to talk to Microsoft, I don't think they want to be pigeon holed into that "gamers console" you speak of. That's the sort of silly talk that caused them to stall at 24 million units with their last console. They want to be more than a "gamers console" with video downloads and waggle controllers.
If Microsoft had a choice, they would easily trade in their "gamers console" tag for what the Wii has right now, which is the "everybodies console" tag.
Still I got it mainly for MGS4, LBP, and Infamous, so until then, I don't really mind using it mostly as a hi-def movie player. Now if I didn't have a 360 to play games on, it might be a different story...
I'm this close to getting a 360.
I feel like I missed out.
I just hope Microsoft announces something about NEW HARDWARE soon and drops the price. I don't want to be a victim.
I just can't ignore any longer.
This game never should have been released in the shape that it was; what could have been a great game is practically DOA due to launch bugs. By the time they fix everything, everybody will be playing something else.

I'm sure I'll pick it up one day when I can get it for $25 or so, but definitely not at $60!

Hate to be a pessimist, but I am surprised they are giving the patch to us PS3 owners as well.
Its a truth, we are the afterthought in developer's minds in cross platform development.
The gap is closing but it is still there but I can't blame the developers either.
The PS2 was hard to develop for but when its install base got so high, developers would be crazy to ignore it.

I have absolutely no self-control and will fail all my finals if I buy a PS3 now. I know its sad. : D
I love the game, but someone had to say it ;)

360 is the Gamer's console... for now. Xbox Live, exclusive DLC, first consideration for patches, head start on software library and developer's programming has turned out to be quite an advantage for Microsoft.
I want Sony to do well. Online new gen Tekken and Twisted Metal would be a step in the right direction. Appeal to the core Sony fans... bring back IPs that are exclusive to the console, and don't bang the blu-ray drum so loudly--it reeks of desperation. Technological specs mean much less then they used to-cite 3d0, Turbografx etc for previous casualties.
And the Wii? Huge install base. Cute games. Wii Fit looks interesting but quality 3d party support (NOT party games) needs to hit by end of this fiscal year. There's only so many party games the new market (moms, girlfriends, wives and grandparents) is willing to buy before saturation becomes a factor ala NES. Still, the price point during a recession is beyond shrewd. Why don't I have one? Yep, just like Sony, the game selection.
We'll see what happens. Metal Gear Solid is going to be BEYOND huge--until Gears 2 comes back and rebalances the table again. If Madden excels on PS3 vs 360, (hard to believe but hoping) it'll be the first multi platform game I'll bite on in favor of Sony.

waggle controllers? cough sixaxis cough...oh wait thats right sony beat the hell out of our minds with this new concept and decided hey our concept and product sucks so lets just go back to the old concept and ditch support of the shitty product we bashed into every1s brains a year ago and pretend nothing ever happened...MS doesnt wish anything, they dominate the console wars with software selling so im pretty sure they are happy

This is why the delay for PS3, it's faster to fix weapon switching on the 360 because it isn't done in "real time"

Seems like some people complained about people camping the spawn, but Rainbow has always been like that. I doubt this mode will be played as much competitively in MLG. It should be an option for the host to turn random respawns on or off. Thank goodness GTA is right around the corner.
