GameStop pulls out creative stops to move PS3s
Jan 7th 2007 6:51AM (Joystiq)c'mon you guys everyday i read something about how badly the ps3 is doing. well most of you says that you do not want a ps3 so why are complaining.all these talks about how bad the system is,how is not selling,how wii and xbox360 is better then you should be happy that ps3 is not selling cuz most of you hate the system. i be the first one to admit that sony mess up on quite a few areas not least the price and the whole launch fiasco but one should not forget that the so call console war will run and run. it not going to be decided in two months.sure ps3 is behind now cuz of lack of good games but once it got good games out then it will sell very well. wii is no doubt the most innovating console at the moment but it continuous sale will depend on how they develop innovating games compatible with the wiimote. one must not forget that they always had the more innovating machine but in the past they let themselves and gamers down with lack of games/bad games/games mostly for asian market. now the wiimote is a novelty but it is how they keep the concept interseting that will decide if they keep doing well.remember the so call casual gamers they are aiming for are not very loyal. after a few days/weeks/months they might just lose interest.all that siad i think wii is great for the moment and a good buy. for xbox i guess while they have a one year start is something good cuz they have sold about 10 million(GUESSING HERE)but the fact that they couldn't outsold ps2 and have no grip in the asian market should be a sign for concern. now with competition and the fact that they mostly have fps games and while gow is good and had help the console i doubt how much halo3 is going to help sell since i am pretty sure that the people who bought 360 to play gow are the same one who will play halo.Microsoft should diversify their games content to be able to succesfully compete though live is great from what i have gather. ps3 success will rest on how quick they sort out shortage prob and how quick they provide quality and a certain quantity of games for us to enjoy. the whole blu ray player things is minor since not a lot of people is going to buy ps3 to watch blu ray movie only though it make the system more expensive but if production cost goes down quickly then in one year time ps3 could be a reasonable purchase.also if the sixaxis become an intergral parts of ps3 games and is good then it will definetely do well. anyway competition is good for us gamers cuz i am sure now that the bar has been raised sony is probably working hard to improve all the aspect of ps3 or they may end up failing horribly. and when it all said and done it is the games that is going to decide the winner if there is one and not the console on it own.the next year or two should be very interesting and rather than proclaim a winner now one should wait and hope there is no clear winner so that competition and innovation will be tha name of the game.
