The good thing about the PS3 is that its future proof. More blu ray DVD titles are going to come out, the power of the PS3, faster than a computer, more games are going to come out it.... etc.

2008 seems like a good year for the PS3, I've read that by 2011 the PS3 will have surpassed the Xbox in sales and be close to the Wii.

Well the way Blue ray is going with adding them to notebooks makes the PS3 more appealing to people because it is a blue ray player so I dont think it will take that long for the PS3 to catch up the 360 came out a yr and some change before the PS3 did so I dont think its going to take an additional 3 years to catch up in Sales.

To surpass the Xbox it will take less time but to catch up with the wii it will take untill 2011. Thats what i meant, or atleast that's what it says here: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/10/an...o-wii-by-2011/

Do you think that guy is right (in the link)

By the end, the earliest end of 2009 or 2010 I think the PS3 will catch up in sales. The HD format war, I suspect Blue ray to win and I know a lot of people who own a WII and PS3. Myself, the WII aint my cup of tea.

So no i dont think he is right i doubt the PS3 will take that long to catch up. And in four years I will not be re-visiting that snippit of a thought lol

Lol not. Aww man but the early microsoft days with the XBOX seem to be great due to a persons Technical skills get me? Eventually things will go back like it was then.

My 360 does not get much attention and im learning that own 3 gaming systems will be hard 2 show equal attention

Yep, because once you start playing on one then you dont feel like playing on the other one because you're used to the one you normally play on which is....

Gears of War 2 is all the 360 needs to stay alive, and that isn't even the only promising game coming out. While PS3 has been surviving almost entirely on the promises of MGS4 and Devil May Cry 4 (which isn't even exclusive anymore).

I'd say the PS3 survives because not many games are exclusive 2 one console. MGS4 will indefinitely help sell more units buts its not the sole reason why people own one.

I was around and watch'd the 360 mature over the last year and a half and I am now watching the PS3 get all the same features with updates. The way I see it, the PS3 with be able to do everything the 360 can online by the end of the year, maybe even sooner, that is really the only thing they are lacking right now. I'm perfectly content with the 3 PS3 games I own(Motorstorm, Resistance, and Full Auto 2) and I've only beaten one of them so far(Resistance in Co-op) I'm really looking forward to Lair, Killzone, Unreal 3, and maybe MGS4. I've never really got into the metal gear series but with all the hype about it I may have to at the very least rent it.
I dontknow if someone said this earlier, but if you get the rings of death, microsoft sends you a brand new 360.

Sony may come close or catch up to the 360 or Wii, but that still doesnt make up for the 6 years of money down the crapper because of poor, poor marketing. By then there will be far better systems for sale. To pick a ps3 over something like, say, a PC is completely obsurd. It does not have near the versatility of a PC, nor the vast amounts of titles that are released for both it, and the 360. For the price of a ps3, you could have bought a decent home/office PC, not good enough to play large games, but still versatile enough to play games, use a properly functional and easy to use internet, and much more. Also, the Wii will probably drop it's sales by a great amount. Nintendo, if anyone has noticed, is like a marketing tool. If a new Mintendo product is released, people will buy it. Nintendo is for fanboys and it sucks people into buying it. As a victim of this, I know, and I would have much rather spent my $250 on something else. The Xbox is a much better choice than both the ps3 and the Wii. sure, it comes with problems, but hey, waiting 1 1/2-2 weeks wont kill you to wait for a FREE new 360 when you are hit with the ring of death or other common problems. And to cap it all off, you still got a good years worth or more of exellent play time from your 360 and even more time if you take care of your console (like not leaving it on when you arn't playing it)

2008 = Year of the PS3!

That is obsurd, it depends what you want the object you're buying for. I have both a PS3 and a PC. Would i have bought my PS3 if i didn't own a PC, yes. For many reasons, i have owned all 3 PS systems and they have all been great, i prefer console gaming and various other things. If you want versatility then yes buying a PS3 would be more stupid than getting a PC.

Yes it does come with problems, Yes MS will send you a new one for the meer price of P&H but what happens if it manages to last beyond warranty? and who actually WANTS to send their console away every other month losing all your stuff on the HDD and other things. The guys at The Inquirer Sent there 360 away to MS when it got the RRoD and MS stole the 360's faceplate it had on. Exellent playt time? if i want to play with something that is louder than a 747 and breaks all the time i'll go to the airport *never fly Jetstar*

LMfaooo yea i own a 360 and a PS3 and yet my PS3 still gets more play time. I have had my PS3 since 12-27-06 and the only issue i encounter is the tripple beep if and when a game may freeze. Other than that PS3 has been great. The 360 I bought on black friday, no discounts! I even waited a month b4 i could play it because i didnt get the extended warranty.

I am building my PC now and I can still tell you that the PS3 will get more burn time than anything else. The 360 Elite is just too damn loud.

I like to do more playing than prasing. And as well as you jtnicker1 I have owned all 3 PS consoles, including the PSP in which I really dont use much (4 systems)
