PS3 Poll Police: How many PS3 games do you own?
by Ed Stasick 
{ Apr 29th 2007 at 3:30PM }
We'll start off our new weekly poll feature this week with an easy question: how many PS3 games do you own? I'll admit that I started my PS3 journey with very few games to call my own -- just a couple in fact. Slowly, but surely, my library has grown with the release of more titles. I'll even been adding a new one to the library this week, bringing my total to 7 (I rent quite a few too).So, how many games do you have... and which ones? Will you be picking up Spiderman this week... and what's on your shopping list in the weeks ahead?
Get voting!

do PSN games (flow, blast factor, etc) count?
thatpspkid @ Apr 29th 2007 4:11PM
if i had a job at the moment I would get more however I only have oblivion for now. its funny how many 360 fanboys visit this site. see their comments everywhere. maybe i should go check out 360fanboy.com... NAW... I'll stay here instead.
Kxpuc @ Apr 29th 2007 4:38PM
If you count Tekken 5 i have 7 total. Oblivion (which has taking up much of my PS3 game playing times now), Resistance, Motorstorm, Dark Kingdom, VF5, Madden 07 (which is so unoptimised for the PS3 compared to the PS2 version)

They must be jealous...or will be. In a year from now most of the PS3's heavy hitters will be out. And Home will be coming into it's own, Japan will be buying the PS3 in droves, and Europe and the United States will have seen a dramatic increase in sales due to Big 1st party and 3rd party exclusives along with the under $500 price.
Meanwhile, the Tree60 will be on it's 4th or 5th sku and they will still have the Red ring of Death.
Whatever, let, them keep coming here and spouting their BS, it always gives me a good laugh.
By Mythmas 2007, we will have almost all of these or at least a demo: Lair, MGS4, Home, LBP, FF13, Haze (Free Radical), Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Wipeout, Warhawk and many other unannounced games.
Impatient I am, have these games now we must.
Next-Gen-Gamer @ Apr 29th 2007 4:47PM
Good God you guys are horrible. And by "you guys" I'm referring to all the people who label non-PS3 lovers "360 fanboys". Anyone says anything negative about the PS3, and someone is bound to say "go back to your xbox". Its happened to me a few times, and I don't even own a 360, and the original Xbox was horrible.
Easy on the bullshit, guys.
Andrew Baisden @ Apr 29th 2007 4:53PM
I do not own a ps3 yet and i do not like xbox so i put 1
Jebus Crust @ Apr 29th 2007 4:53PM
Almost forgot,
MotorStorm
Virtua Tennis
MLB 2K7
Fight Night 3
and PSN games and demos

"They must be jealous...or will be."
If they're fanboys of another console, why would they ever feel jealous? In fact, why would any 360 or Wii owner ever have a reason to be jealous?
"In a year from now most of the PS3's heavy hitters will be out. And Home will be coming into it's own, Japan will be buying the PS3 in droves, and Europe and the United States will have seen a dramatic increase in sales due to Big 1st party and 3rd party exclusives along with the under $500 price."
Because that makes sense. Months from now, both the 360's and Wii's heavy hitters will be out. By fall, we're looking at--AT LEAST Halo 3, S.S.B.B., and Super Mario Galaxy (that's just ones that are 100% confirmed from their respective companies). Furthermore, Home will only appeal to those who already own a PS3. I highly doubt people without one will care. Japan is currently buying Wii in droves. Not even killer apps. will sell a console that expensive in the North America and Europe, and the price will NOT be under $500. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if its not under $600.
"Meanwhile, the Tree60 will be on it's 4th or 5th sku and they will still have the Red ring of Death."
First, please stop using SKU. Second, please stop using stupid names for the PS3 competitor. And third, that Ring of Death, while an obvious problem, hasn't hindered 360 sales. Why? Because it isn't $600.
As for your long list of games that might be killer apps., maybe you should check out the 360 and Wii lists. By the end of the year, we're looking at great games for all three systems. Software is a non-issue. It comes down to console price, and what you get for that price. Of course, as sales have shown us, if it comes down to hardware prices, the PS3 won't be doing and dominating at Christmas.
And for those of you who continue to leave the Wii out of these rants and conversations, I'll pull up a figure for you. The Wii has been out about 6 months. It has sold about 6 million units. If you can't figure out what that means, then please, continue talking about how the Wii doesn't matter, and it doesn't conflict with the sales of the 360 or PS3 (which is NOT the case in Japan).

It is under $600
$599.99
You are here....are u not?
Jebus Crust @ Apr 29th 2007 5:39PM
I do not care about the WeeCube, it is not next or current gen. I do not care if it has sold 6 million, probably half of the ones sold are non or casual gamers who after a few months will just let their WeeCube collect dust. C'mon, it's 7 year old technology.
If the WeeCube wins then all real gamers will suffer because all we will have is old tech. in a new case.
The Tree60 and the PS3 are our only hope for true Next-gen gaming that will push what is possible on a console
Frack the Plumber and his Plushy Happy Cute characters.
If I want to go bounce around on my butt killing other furry little creatures....I will drop a hit and be done with it, and save myself $250 for a WeeCube with a motion controller.
$5-6 for a game that the Plumber made 20+ years ago?
Now who's getting ripped off.
Time @ Apr 29th 2007 5:40PM
Could somebody please tell me the name of this website?....the last time I checked it was called PS3fanboy.com....
I don't understand why anybody who dislikes the ps3 or have no interest in it and yet still come here to troll?
"If they're fanboys of another console, why would they ever feel jealous? In fact, why would any 360 or Wii owner ever have a reason to be jealous?"
Jeez, I don't know, maybe it's because the actual type in "ps3fanboy.com" into there web browsers just to come here and troll.....either jealous or insecure
"As for your long list of games that might be killer apps., maybe you should check out the 360 and Wii lists. By the end of the year, we're looking at great games for all three systems. Software is a non-issue. It comes down to console price, and what you get for that price. Of course, as sales have shown us, if it comes down to hardware prices, the PS3 won't be doing and dominating at Christmas."
Jesus Chirst what with you people?.........Maybe if he wanted to check out the 360 and wii list, he will, oh I don't know go to the 360 and wii websites?..or maybe he simple doesn't give a fuck, whatever the reason, he is here on a ps3fanboy site which indicates he his interested at the moment about ps3 related stuff. not what the hell is going on with the other 2. please use common sense
I love how you can predict what will happen on Christmas, it being 8 months away, you much teach me how to tell the future
"And for those of you who continue to leave the Wii out of these rants and conversations, I'll pull up a figure for you. The Wii has been out about 6 months. It has sold about 6 million units. If you can't figure out what that means, then please, continue talking about how the Wii doesn't matter, and it doesn't conflict with the sales of the 360 or PS3 (which is NOT the case in Japan)."
no most to us the wii could sell a billion units and we wouldn't give a damn, I wanna blow shit up in high-def next-gen graphics with a complex storyline...not swing a remote like some idiot in 10 year old graphics trying to "catch em all" in story only 12 years old would enjoy
In my honest opinion, we are just waiting at this moment, most of us think it may or may not last, those of you who think it will have there reasons and to the rest of us we think it will go away, you mentioned Super Smash bros, or some shit earlier....to us who been gaming for years know that all the Mario, Metroid and Zelda didn't Save the N64 or The Gamecube....and now its suppose to be different because of the Wiimote?
Don't get me wrong those are great games, but they didn't save Nintendo before, in the past 10 years, what's so different now?
the Wiimote?
if you are going to talk about Awesome Nintendo games, then please give us new games
Killer @ Apr 29th 2007 5:41PM
First off, I disagree with marvin and I hate it when someone says stupid stuff like that. It gives every other good fanboy a bad rep. so stop! 2nd, I believe that if it wasn't for psp boy on comment 2 saying something about it. This crap would have never happened, so don't look to marvin thinking he instituted it. 3rd, I know jebus that you were protecting your console that you bought. Honestly, the stuff that you said in your first post seems extremely over zealous. Do you honestly believe all that? If you do, try to think outside the fanboy mindless thinking box. I have no problem with the ps3, I visit this site, because I like to read things about the industry from all sides. No jealously. If I was jealous, I would already have a ps3. I don't so, that markers that theory out.
Just doing my right to defend MY console:
"Meanwhile, the Tree60 will be on it's 4th or 5th sku and they will still have the Red ring of Death."
It's xbox360. I have a launch console that has never choked, and will never choke. I know that. You may think I'm denial, but you haven't seen what I have put my 360 through.
I don't have to say anything else about what you said, Jebus. I think Next-Gen Gamer covered that very nicely. Thank you Next-Gen gamer.
Killer @ Apr 29th 2007 5:54PM
Also. Why do people keep pushing these flamer wars. I laugh at both sides, but still this is rediculous. If you don't want 360 people on your site saying things about the ps3, then don't make a poll that has "None. Xbox Rulz!". To me that just seems like you want them to come here. If psp boy is going to use the argument of that majority of 360 fanboys come on here just say crap, well let's look at what each post is about or who commented what about who's console. I believe everyone is to be blamed that posts flamer inducing sentences about something. Let's just stop this crap. Now!

What are you torturing your Treesity inquisition stlye?
Or are you putting it thru basic training?
Or dare I ask are you making sweet FANBOY love to it? (use some lube if you do...especially around the sharp areas)
"I know jebus that you were protecting your console that you bought. Honestly, the stuff that you said in your first post seems extremely over zealous. Do you honestly believe all that?"
I do not know quite what specifically you are refering to but to answer your question....it is an opinion of mine. I do think that Japan is just waiting for the MGS's and the FF's and the Monster Hunters and so on. When these games come out, they will need a PS3 to play them on.
"no most to us the wii could sell a billion units and we wouldn't give a damn, I wanna blow shit up in high-def next-gen graphics with a complex storyline...not swing a remote like some idiot in 10 year old graphics trying to "catch em all" in story only 12 years old would enjoy"
Yes, someone else get's it. The Plumber does the same shit every year...they will kill gaming in Hi-def with great physics and so on if the Plumber wins.
I say again....
Frack the Plumber
John @ Apr 29th 2007 5:58PM
How about none? I rent ALL my games. Just got the ps3, renting Marvel Alliance and Elder Scrolls, until I get the plasma in 2 weeks, then it's Motorstorm, Resistance, Ridge Racer, Virtua Fighter. As soon as Elder Scrolls gets here Alliance is going back for something arcadey, to switch off with Elder Scrolls.
Time @ Apr 29th 2007 6:33PM
We can handle criticism when it comes to the ps3, everyone knows it needs a price cut and more games....what we can't stand the fact none of you xbots plan on owning a ps3 or even like it and the fact most xbots think the 360 is so damn superior yet spend more time on ps3 websites then actual ps3 owners
What we can't stand is, most ps3 owners can't even say they like the ps3 without getting bashed by xbots
What we can't stand, is here on a ps3fanboy.com website, we have to dig through a massive amount of 360 fanbots just so we can talk to other ps3 owners
there is nothing wrong with hating the ps3..you have every right to hate it...but to come here on a ps3fanboy site just to remind everyone of your hate shows signs of jealous or insecurity
and for the love of god, if you hate the ps3, think the games will always suck, and that the 360 is all your gaming needs, and a far superior machine, then don't you think it's a waste of time trolling ps3 based websites?
sadiqsaeed @ Apr 29th 2007 7:43PM
wtf... i have a ps3 but i cant afford the games... what option do i choose??? i am broke :'(
matjet @ Apr 29th 2007 7:59PM
i put "xbox rulz" even though that is not what i think, just because there was no option for " i don;t have a ps3 yet". when you see a poll like this you kinda feel obligated to vote, even if there is not an answer that corresponds to you.
Draco @ Apr 29th 2007 8:00PM
I'm upto 4 games if you count PSN in which case I vote wrong.
Mortal Kombat II
Blast Factor
Oblivion (with system)
NHL 2k7 (still on route though)
Strike Man @ Apr 29th 2007 9:57PM
Two.
Resistance and Pro Yakyuu Spirits 4.
Beyond that, it gets far more use as a BD player than as a game console.
Spector @ Apr 29th 2007 10:01PM
Virtua Fighter (with arcade stick so that should count as 2 games lol)
Dark Kingdom
Motorstorm
Resistance
Ultimate Alliance
Blast Factor
Flow
Q*Bert

Wow, Jebus. Way to go. I wasn't even agianst you, just stating my opinion (like you did) and you fuck it all up. Good job. Try to control yourself, jebus. Fanboy biase mindless thinking, way to f-ing go! So how much does sony pay you?
"What are you torturing your Treesity inquisition stlye?
Or are you putting it thru basic training?
Or dare I ask are you making sweet FANBOY love to it? (use some lube if you do...especially around the sharp areas)"
What in the hell is a treesity? Sorry I don't own a treesity. I own a 360 though. If that is what your 8 year old mind likes to think it is, ok. Answers to a statement that I was sure I dumbed it down just for your mind, I guess not.
1. No, I didn't know my 360 was islamic. I better get to that then. Wait, I'm not catholic, so nvm.
2. Basic Training? Hmmmm, My 360 with it's own gun. Sounds promising.
3. Hell No. Wow, I'm guessing that you've done it with your ps3, since you suggested lube. I don't know what country your in, but I'm sure that is considered agian the law to have sexual relations with your electronics. Just try not to cheat on your ps3 with the toaster in your kitchen. I know you can't resist, but just for the love of god, think of the children.
Hmmm, I was a 360fanboy that wasn't trying to start anything. I came on to this site, to stop flamers (like jebus) and look, jebus makes a flamer war out of it. Good job flamer. I bet you made your ps3 (lover) very happy. Try not to hurt yourself.
Dash @ Apr 29th 2007 10:39PM
Just one unfortunately. Kinda pathetic when compared to my eight 360 games and four Wii games. I just wish that there were more good exclusives out. Oh well, I still have MGS4 and FFXIII to look forward to.
MrSkip @ Apr 29th 2007 10:50PM
Absolutely none at the moment because nothing is interesting out until later summer / fall this year.
Next-Gen-Gamer @ Apr 29th 2007 10:58PM
"It is under $600
$599.99"
Right, and after tax its well over $600. Heaven forbid you want to play a game, then you're looking at $660. Over half-a-grand for a video game console? No thanks.
"I do not care about the WeeCube, it is not next or current gen. I do not care if it has sold 6 million, probably half of the ones sold are non or casual gamers who after a few months will just let their WeeCube collect dust. C'mon, it's 7 year old technology."
Look guys! He said "WeeCube". He's so 1337, he doesn't care about two GameCubes taped together. Listen, you can make up stuff all you want. Maybe some are collecting dust. Maybe some are being played a little too much. The fact of the matter is, they're averaging nearly 1 million units sold per-month. And before anyone gets on their high horse about how they're not selling 1 million a month, just remember, its an average. Is it old technology? Yes. Is it crushing the PS3 in sales in most places? Yes. Is it crushing the 360 in monthly sales? Yes. Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean it fails to exist.
There's a difference between collecting dust after purchase, and collecting dust at the retail outlet.
"If the WeeCube wins then all real gamers will suffer because all we will have is old tech. in a new case.
The Tree60 and the PS3 are our only hope for true Next-gen gaming that will push what is possible on a console."
You're right. Why would the gaming industry ever want to change? Let's keep doing the same shooters, fighting games, and sports games. Oh, but wait! They have graphics we've never seen before! Wow! Its funny that you say gamers are screwed if the Wii wins...considering that, prior to the Wii launch, the gaming industry as a whole was on the decline. Considering how sales are going, I don't see the PS3 doing any of the heavy lifting, in terms of carrying the gaming industry. No, Sony wants developers to blow millions of dollars on one game that won't sell enough to make profit, because there isn't enough PS3 owners. According to CliffyB, Gears of War didn't event reach $1M in expenses, and it looks absolutely gorgeous, and it plays extremely well. Old/already available tech FTW.
"Frack the Plumber and his Plushy Happy Cute characters."
You sure showed me!
"If I want to go bounce around on my butt killing other furry little creatures....I will drop a hit and be done with it, and save myself $250 for a WeeCube with a motion controller."
Says the guy defending the $600 console.
"$5-6 for a game that the Plumber made 20+ years ago?
Now who's getting ripped off."
Are prices high on the Virtual Console? Yes. Is Nintendo making more money on the VC than Sony is on the PS3? Yes. I'll admit the prices are too high. However, Nintendo and 3rd party developers just made about $23.1 million on Virtual Console sales. These are games that essentially cost nothing to emulate. That's a $23.1M profit. Where's the profit from the PS3? A console can't contend with overpriced games that are extremely old? What a joke.
"Jeez, I don't know, maybe it's because the actual type in "ps3fanboy.com" into there web browsers just to come here and troll.....either jealous or insecure"
Bullshit is bullshit, regardless of where it comes from. I read this site, just like every other fanboy site, for news, and for the comments. Debate and discussion is always fun. However, just because I'm on here and not on some other site, doesn't mean I'm going to change how I approach a comment I want to reply to. This could've been posted on a generic forum, and I'd still reply. If people didn't find it fun or amusing, they wouldn't feel compelled to respond. Which is why you said something instead of letting it go.
"Don't get me wrong those are great games, but they didn't save Nintendo before, in the past 10 years, what's so different now?
the Wiimote?"
Aside from the control scheme, there's a few things different. First, the gap between a full-sized CD game and a DVD/Blu-ray disc, in terms of consumer interest, is nearly non-existent. Why? Because SDTVs greatly outnumber HDTVs everywhere in the world. More and more people are definitely buying HDTVs, but if things stay the way they are, and HDTV remains on a slow incline, SDTVs will still be standard by the time the next set of consoles come out. Of course, by then Nintendo already plans to go into the HD era. Hell, the latest from Iwata is that if HD were to become standard sooner than that, Nintendo would ship Wiis in HD (in other words, they're already looking into it).
Another difference is the quality of the consoles. The 360 had a headstart, but it has obvious hardware issues. The PS3 and the Wii launched on the same weekend (here in North America).
Which leads to another difference. A $300 PS3 vs. a $300 GameCube is a lot different than a $600 PS3 vs. a $250 Wii. The Wii is what Nintendo says it is. A gaming console. The 360 is what Microsoft says it is. A gaming console first, and everything else second. The PS3 is NOT what Sony says it is. One minute its a cheap Blu-ray player (a format that, even if it beats HD-DVD, won't be standard for another 6 years), and the next minute its all about video games. Consumers see it as a gaming console, and that's obvious. People would rather pay $600 for a Blu-ray player than $600 for a gaming machine. Which is a key factor for why sales are horrible.
Oh, and for as bad as that Wii "drought" is/was, the PS3 is worse. The 360 isn't that great, but they have an established library to fall back on.
As for Wii games in 2007, I'll give you a list. Keep in mind that I may not be fond of some of these games (namely, Big Brain Academy), but to deny them as potential "big" titles would be wrong of me (considering all the hype, and the fact that the "Brain" franchise has sold millions).
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
Project H.A.M.M.ER.
Manhunt 2
Godzilla: Unleashed
Treasure Island Z
MySims
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Animal Crossing Wii
Battalion Wars 2
Final Fantasy CC: Crystal Bearers
Dragon Quest Swords: MQTM
Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn
Mario Strikers Charged
As some of you may have noticed, I left out quite a few games. Obviously ports could be thrown in there. Because lets be honest. How much of the general population woult pay $360-$660 to play Madden '08, when they can pay $300 to play the same game. Or Spider-Man 3, which has a completely different gameplay style, and different gameplay mechanics from the other versions.
Also, I don't expect all these titles to individually push hardware. However, I don't expect that from any console-specific game. Sales may boost from S.S.B.B., Halo 3, and MGS4, but not significantly. Its the library as a whole that makes a console. Ten big games for the PS3 doesn't outweight twenty good games for the Wii (some of which are "big" games), or fifty good games for the 360 (some of which are "big" games).
----------------------------------------
Again, I don't do this to piss people off. I do it because its something to do when I've got nothing going on. When I'm not at work, and friends are busy, I start looking around the sites. A heated debate is still just a debate. Just try to remember that before you start flaming.

You know, Jebus Crust really sounds like an idiot.
"I do think that Japan is just waiting for the MGS's and the FF's and the Monster Hunters and so on. When these games come out, they will need a PS3 to play them on."
I love how all the AAA games people name that will sell consoles are 3rd party that could easily jump systems.
ymmv @ Apr 30th 2007 7:28AM
The folks on this website can sometimes be obnoxious fanboys. I'm not only talking of 360 fanboys, but also of PS3 fanboys who don't want to hear any critical objective reasoning. If you're suggesting that the PS3 may not win this console race, if you mention the bad PS3 sales, you must be a Xbox 360 fanboy who only came here to gload and rub salt in the wounds.
I got the same flack from some of the locals even though I own a PS3. But I also have a 360 and I have not invested emotionally in the PS3, only financially. I want the PS3 to do well because I want to play games on it, but I want the Xbox 360 to do well too. There's plenty of room for both consoles in the marketplace, each with its own exclusives.
Andir3.0 @ Apr 30th 2007 7:40AM
I paid about $2000 for one of my game consoles. I also use it to rip my movies to MPEG4 so I can watch them without the disc over the network.
The ~$750 I've spent on my PS3 habit it nowhere near what I spent on my computer (or a total of just two of the devices in said PC)
Now, your going to say, "But you had to buy a TV for it!" Not really. I had an HDTV I bought before the PS3 was even a glimmer on the horizon for my living room. Even then, to keep up with my PC gaming habits, I have to upgrade it almost as a ritual every year at about the same time. My TV is several years old and I don't foresee an immediate need to upgrade it as it's doing just fine with the PS3. And yes, I really only use my PC for games anymore. I'm not in college anymore and don't take work home so I don't even have office or any productivity software that I can think of installed.
I seriously don't see why people are complaining about the console price, especially since it's going to last me at least 3-5 years or more. There are people in the world that spend as much or more on a video card every year or two (or in cumulative upgrades over the life of the PS3 on their PC.) Those complaining about price make me sick that you place gaming over your other aspects of life because it's something you think you need, and you'll come to the "fanboy" sites and cry about it every chance you get. How about getting an education and getting a real job before worrying about how much the console costs?
PS3 RULES @ Apr 30th 2007 8:18AM
Oblivion, Resistance, Motorstorm, Genji, VF5, but I bought at FFXII, Resident E4, and GoW2 also. I play the PS2 games just as much. I never had a PS2 and I could'nt let those great title pass me by. If you have a PS3 and never had a PS2 I reccomend you still Buy FFXII, Resident Evil 4, and GoW2. They are great games and the gameplay makes up for them not being next gen.
Noshino @ Apr 30th 2007 9:53AM
Sigh,
It's really sad to see ps3 fanboys like this, if you are going to debate over something, you have to be polite and show well stated points.
Next-Gen-Gamer and Killer sorry if you were offended in some ways, but hey, there are some 360 fanboys here that also came here with a rude attitude (marvin and justfN ring a bell?)
Now let's get some fact straight, the MAIN problem with the PS3 is:
- Price: sigh, yah not everyone can shell out $600
I would also add Hatred, lovers of the other consoles have hated the ps2 and Sony, and now because like I said not everyone can spend $600, they make fun of the ps3, and to that you have to include the media, altho most of them have like no idea of what they tlak about.
Games aren't a problem with the console, blame the developers for that, and don't say anything about that 360 boys because the 360 had the worst launch titles I have ever seen and the Wii had nothing other than Zelda.
Now, once you get a PS3, you will realize right away why it costs 600 and why it is totally worth the price. Sadly, I can't say the same about the 360, such hardware problems can't be fixed, and I don't understand how can people stand such treatment from a company.
Now, the Wii is indeed killing the gaming industry, it has been said by many out there, the only ones that don't see that happening are either casual gamers how don't understand well where the gaming industry stand, and blind fanboys.
Such level of graphics and physics offered by the Wii will only set us back, and don't give me the "next gen they ll go HD" bs, you know well that their appeal for casual gamers will stop them from doing so, probably next well Nintendo will be offering something close to what a launch ps3 title was able to offer, what do you say we keep using cartridges?.
Sony has taken many more risks than both of the other companies, and that is why I respect them, they were able to compete to the almighty Nintendo, who would have thought of using CD's back then, they took the risk of going with the DVD, and now blu ray, its their history, they have always gone for the most advance storage device available.
As for your list Next-Gen Gamer, the only title im waiting for is Fire Emblem, all the other titles suck imho, oh, and take in mind that like Nintendo says, they are going for the casual gamer, the only one there that would appeal to te casual gamers would be Big Brain Academy
"These are games that essentially cost nothing to emulate. That's a $23.1M profit"
The joke there is that Nintendo is making almost as much money from their old (REALLY old) games as the ones.
"The 360 is what Microsoft says it is. A gaming console first, and everything else second. The PS3 is NOT what Sony says it is. One minute its a cheap Blu-ray player (a format that, even if it beats HD-DVD, won't be standard for another 6 years), and the next minute its all about video games. Consumers see it as a gaming console, and that's obvious."
err...Microsoft is full of crap, gaming console first? is that why they are trying to push IPTV so hard? I guess Sony is actually telilng you "hey we have it all, gaming console, blu ray player, web browsing...etc", I guess you like to be lied about "oh the 360 is a GAMING console FIRST, and it also does all these sorts of things". I hate it when people point that out about Sony, but hey, they are telling the truth, aren't they? what if they would have said fromt he beginning "its a GAMING console, but we have all these other features", hey we all know that focus of the ps3 is games, but you got all of these other features for free, so why not take advantange of that? Heck even Nintendo, Wii channels anyone? Wii: True gaming console? ha, in your dreams...

"Such level of graphics and physics offered by the Wii will only set us back,"
Set us back? Do you know why the PS3 isn't selling well? Do you know how the 360 has squandered its headstart? Consumers, as a whole, are not ready for a $100-$300 leap in price. Do the graphics and physics of Wii games match 360/PS3 games? No, of course not. However, instead of doing what every company has done since the SNES (upgrade the graphics and slightly tweak the controller), Nintendo decided to go a different route. Is it really a setback, or did the HD horsepower era start too soon? Seriously, how many people on this planet, who are AT LEAST slightly interested in games, own a HDTV? How many of said people own SDTVs? Essentially all of them.
"and don't give me the "next gen they ll go HD" bs, you know well that their appeal for casual gamers will stop them from doing so, probably next well Nintendo will be offering something close to what a launch ps3 title was able to offer, what do you say we keep using cartridges?."
Nintendo will be offering PS3 launch-quality titles in the next generation? Why? Because its impossible for Nintendo to spend money developing a console that's equally matched to that of the PS4 or "NextBox"? There's some law that says a company can skip over what the competition has already done, and start on what they're currently doing? And how is it BS? They're willing to go HD in a few years IF it becomes standard. If they're already trying out different ways to incorporate HD, why does a HD-ready console by the next generation sound so ridiculous to you? Nintendo has the resources to do whatever they want. Roughly $23.1M in VC sales alone? Give me a break.
"Sony has taken many more risks than both of the other companies, and that is why I respect them, they were able to compete to the almighty Nintendo, who would have thought of using CD's back then, they took the risk of going with the DVD, and now blu ray, its their history, they have always gone for the most advance storage device available."
Sony also went for BetaMax for movies, and UMDs for a handheld format. Risks only look good when they pay off. Just like they risked creating a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" machine, and its backfiring. If I could afford the oh-so-powerful PS3, then I'm likely to be in a good enough financial situation to buy a PC that would crush the PS3 in just about every category. Sony can't get it right every time, just like Nintendo can't get it wrong every time. That's the great thing about the gaming industry. Things change. If things stayed the same, we'd be screwed.
"As for your list Next-Gen Gamer, the only title im waiting for is Fire Emblem, all the other titles suck imho, oh, and take in mind that like Nintendo says, they are going for the casual gamer, the only one there that would appeal to te casual gamers would be Big Brain Academy"
You people are hopeless. I'm told to make a list on the potentially "big" Wii games, and when I do, someone disputes it. This isn't a list of my picks. This is a list of games that carry some weight and some excitement before their respective launches. I didn't look at the PS3 list provided before me and say "well none of those games appeal to me". Anyone can do that. In fact, I'm NOT looking forward to Fire Emblem (I despise most RPGs). I know YOU didn't tell me to make a list, but you had to be aware of the context in which it was posted. As for the casual gamers, you're getting "going for casual gamers" confused with "going for casual gamers only". Nintendo is attempting to reach as many PEOPLE as possible. They're trying to appeal to the hardcore, casual, and non-gamers. Don't get it twisted.
"The joke there is that Nintendo is making almost as much money from their old (REALLY old) games as the ones."
I'm guessing you meant to say they're selling almost as much as the actual Wii games. That, of course, is wrong. Twilight Princess (Wii version) has pulled in $50M+ in the United States ALONE.
"Microsoft is full of crap, gaming console first? is that why they are trying to push IPTV so hard?"
Define "so hard". I haven't heard anything major about IPTV in months.
"I guess Sony is actually telilng you "hey we have it all, gaming console, blu ray player, web browsing...etc", I guess you like to be lied about "oh the 360 is a GAMING console FIRST, and it also does all these sorts of things"."
Yeah, because "we crammed as much shit as possible into one machine" sounds so much better than "games come first, the TV and movie downloads come second". If gaming wasn't the first thing on Microsoft's mind for the 360, the console itself wouldn't be available for $300 and $400. As opposed to the PS3, which is only available for $600 because of all the features.
"I hate it when people point that out about Sony, but hey, they are telling the truth, aren't they? what if they would have said fromt he beginning "its a GAMING console, but we have all these other features", hey we all know that focus of the ps3 is games, but you got all of these other features for free, so why not take advantange of that?"
This should've stopped at "we all know that focus of the ps3 is games", as it proves an earlier point of mine (previous post) that very few people want to pay $600 to play video games (which is all consumers look at it as).
"Heck even Nintendo, Wii channels anyone? Wii: True gaming console? ha, in your dreams..."
The channels Nintendo placed specifically onto the Wii (Weather, News, Photo) have memory reserved, just like the Wii Shop and "Game" channels. So what does this mean? They basically come with the Wii. Sounds similar to the PS3, which comes loaded with non-gaming features, right? Wrong. They could've taken the Sony approach. And by that I mean wait even longer to launch because they wanted to fit more into it (like the "Everybody Votes" Channel), and force people to pay more for stuff they don't want. Obviously, that didn't happen, the Wii launched when Nintendo wanted it to launch, and it launched for $250. Sony said Spring 2006, bumped it back, and then announced it to be a $600 console.
And yes, I'm aware that the Wii launched after the PS3. Hence why I mentioned what Sony was promising (Spring 2006), as opposed to what Nintendo was saying (nothing).
Also, the purpose of my posts was to show that the Wii is a viable competitor. I'm not saying it'll rule the gaming world, as that would clearly be too bold of a statement. I just feel that, as a gamer, its completely stupid to not include a console in a "console war" when its selling more than one overall, and selling more monthly than both.

Oh, well, no matter what logic or reason you use, the 360 fanbots keep coming back.......oh well I guess we need a healthy balance of trolls on all websites
For the last time, you, whatever kind of fanbot you are, we can handle it, we know the ps3 is in a rough spot and may not win
What we can't stand as even the slightest hint that it may win all the fanbots, come out of the shadows to troll....
For example, there was this one thread, here on this very website, were a Developer was giving high praise to the cell....finally something good that is from an actual developer about the cell, and all the fanbots, nintendorks, or xbots, trying to spin it badly............why?.....why would I not believe the actual person who is programing the cell and believe bunch a Internet geeks that masturbate to "Live"?
it bugs the hell out of me "yeah Home is good, but I still want pay $600 dollars for it".....then if you could never be convince to buy a ps3 and the 360 "pwnss" then why come here?....we get enough of that shit, from joystiq.com, 1up.com, digg.com and everyone else who wants to see sony burn in hell for their sins, I was just hoping that coming to an actual website that said ps3 in it's name would keep some of the trolls out but they don't
in my honest opinion the fact that most of you cum-bags, that show up here are obviously dealing with some kind of issue....talking about the bad things Sony and the ps3 has done is one thing, but when you try to spin neutral or good news into something bad, then you obviously are insecure with your choice of console
and for the wii lovers, I have no idea what to say, the numbers suggest the wii is the hottest thing right now, but the fact that you people have to remind has every single moment suggest that they too are insecure about something...what do you care what we think about the wii?...the ps3 is in a sluggish and sad state right now..so why do you care what a bunch of ps3 fanboys think?......why debate about the wii on a ps3site to begin with?......the fact that the wii is selling like hotcakes, the thoughts of what a bunch of fanboys shouldn't matter....unless they too are insecure with something
I will admit that $600 dollars is hindering the ps3, but after some research I almost feel as if sony didn't really have a choice, they felt as if the wanted to continue to keep their lead they had to offer the best on the market, not half-ass it......their trying to sell a Mercedes to a Toyota market and kinda trying to overdo things when they could have kept it simple, but time will tell if the power of the ps3 will begin to pay off, so please leave the "it's overpriced" argument at the door, it's old, it's unoriginal and you were probably just quoting someone from another blog
I have very little interest in the 360, but once Halo 3 hits, I will pick up The Elite 360...until then I have no reason to troll 360 based website, or even 360 articles..knowing damn well I have no interest in it but start to start shit with the xbots is just a waste of time....I am kinda getting tired of the whole" I don't like or even plan on owning a ps3 but still come here to 'debate' and find 'information'".. bullshit

Well said Time.
I really do believe that by next spring the PS3 will be selling alot better than it is now. That being said, it is still selling better than the Treesity was in the same time frame. I know, I know, you Treesity trolls will say....but it was a supply issue.
The reasons I own a PS3 are many. I want the hi-def movies, I want to be immersed in a game, I want it to look more realistic with every generation. I want the built-in wifi, I want the standard hard drive, I want to be able to put MP4's, MP3's, Jpegs and have it all in one machine. I want the most deverse game library out there, I want innovation, I want a risk taker, I want a company who is willing to push the envelope with each generation.
PS1 CD, 3D gaming quality sound, many, many new original IP's
N64 Cartridge, small capacity, Ninty owned proprietry format, crappy sound, the same games* over and over.
PS2 DVD Digital sound, much bigger gameworlds, many more original IP's
GameCube Nintendo owned prorietry format, same games* except for a few new ones.
*Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Donkey Kong etc*
PS3 Blu-ray, wifi, standard hard drive, bluetooth, card readers, ability to use accessories of choice and not crappy XBOX only accessories, mp4, aac, avc, mp3 media can be saved to the hard drive again not forced to download XBOX only media, and of course many new original IP's
Wii wifi, motion controller accuracy not reliable, same games* 7 year old hardware.
If Nintendo dominates this generation it is possible that we as gamers will all lose. Why should a company like Sony or Microsoft spend billions on developing exciting new technology when old hardware that costs almost nothing to develop will be more profitable? That is why I say that it is possible that the Wii will kill gaming as we know it.
I do not like Pokemon.
I do not like Mario.
I did when I was 12-14
I do not understand why these characters are still so popular. Maybe someone can explain it to me but I doubt it.
If it were up to Nintendo we might still be using cartriges. Ok, propably not, but you get the picture.
Thank you Sony for continuing to push what is possible in a video game experience.
Thank you Microsoft for doing the same AND putting online console gaming on the map.
Blow it out your ass Plumber for continuing to regress gaming technology.
Choke on it all of you who continue to buy the same old crap from the Plumber. And do not give me the BS line of the "motion controller." The Plumber could have incorporated the WiiMote with new hardware, and would have run away with the whole thing PS2 stlye.
Thanks Plumber for not being smart enough to do just that.
Go 360
Go PS3
Go frack yourself Wii and Next Gen Gamer....the WeeCube is NOT next or current gen. It is a GameCube with a $250 motion controller...why can't you see that?
Please stop calling yourself Next Gen Gamer...might I suggest Last Gen Fool?
SuicideNinja @ Apr 30th 2007 1:40PM
I still only have Resistance. There just isn't a PS3 game out right now that I want that isn't already on the 360. Heavenly Sword and Final Fantasy will change that, but they are still a ways out.
The only reason I haven't traded Resistance in yet is because I have to have at least one game. Demos just aren't good enough, you know? When Ninja Gaiden Sigma comes out, I'll definitely buy it and get rid of Resistance in a heartbeat.
Triforceowner @ Apr 30th 2007 2:59PM
I like how 360 fans are criticized for being impartial and visiting sites that don't just cater to their favorite consoles.
SuicideNinja @ Apr 30th 2007 3:22PM
Wow...the rage is coming out in the comments...
"what we can't stand the fact none of you xbots plan on owning a ps3 or even like it and the fact most xbots think the 360 is so damn superior"
PS3 fans can be equally bad, so trying to single out 360 or Wii owners is a bit ridiculous. Everyone has their own bias.
I'm surely no Wii or PS3 fanboy, but I own the consoles and like to keep up on them. This site is the only site out of dozens I peruse that only covers the PS3. Respectively, I do the same with NintendoWiifanboy.
But the point that, "If you have no plans on getting a (insert console here), why are you here?" should be taken by some of the frequenters of the fanboy sites.

"what we can't stand the fact none of you xbots plan on owning a ps3 or even like it and the fact most xbots think the 360 is so damn superior yet spend more time on ps3 websites then actual ps3 owners"
sorry if you are going to quote me, then quote the entire segment
sorry
Again, so everyone hates the ps3..that is fine, is that going to take away my enjoyment?..fuck no...but to be remined of it all the time gets annoying...especially on ps3 based sites

Hey man I didn't expect to see you commenting here. I read your IGN blog all the time. It's one my favorite ign blogs. I give you a tip of the hat to you for at least trying to have a reasonable debate. I fully agree with your previous statements but it looks like your swimming against the current here (a very angry and bitter current).
"its amazing howmany xbox360 fanboys the ps3fanboy site gets....."
What's so wrong about that? The wii is my favorite system yet I enjoy reading PS and XBOX fansites and keeping up with all videogame related news. I have no set plans to even buy a PS3 as of now but I still love to read up on what’s coming its way. Is there something wrong with me???? I would hope not.
If I am not reading fansites, I am over at the neogaf forums, a place where people share thoughts/opinions on all things videogame. It's funny, you can find debates all over the boards there but they don't turn into petty bickering nearly as often and consistently as this site.
There are people here who take themselves and their childish console popularity contest way too seriously. There are also open-minded people who take the time to explain why they think the PS3(or wii or 360) is a great/better system. Whose comment earns my respect at the end of the day?
