but all my friends have a DS and I must admit that once the games start to come its ridiculously fun! To play Trauma center is omething you can't do on Sony's Sexy screen~ The stylus has turned from a gimme two years ago to a selling point today! And games like Phoenix right (That lawyer game) is hilarious. Brain Age also is fun to play.
Of course I don't know anyone with a PSP so I can't necessarily talk about the games I like to play as I didn't know of any of those DS games till my friends ended up buying one...
But the DS does it right, and I truly hope Nintendo keeps it around for a long while...and if they drop the price enough it MAAAY be enough to suck me away from the desite of getting a PSP...but that has to be a niceee price drop and since they are selling like hotcakes I find it hard to believe Nintendo wants to drop the price at all
As for PS3....whateverWhen the good games come I MAAAAY buy one. Until then, all I need is DOTA

That's the thing though, are you telling me 200k people this month alone figured out how to hack a PSP to play old games? I'll admit I'm a DS owner, so I'm a bit biased here, but it seems like Sony has absolutely no momentum in NA or Japan with the PSP because it still hasn't found its killer app while the DS has a ton of games that are generating a positive buzz. Someone has to be playing PSP games on these things, right?

Between the two SKUs for Lost Planet it sold in the U.S. 408,673 for the 2-3 weeks it hit the street and the time frame for NPD data collection. The 360 continues to dish out million sellers and that certainly bodes well for it. Gears of War just doesn't seem to stop last time I checked it was somewhere between the 3-3.5 million sold range. Developers are certainly taking note. Just today another so called PS3 exclusive was announced for the PC and 360 as well. So many so called exclusives for the PS3 have been changing course and are now headed to other consoles and the PC. The Wii has had a heck of a launch as well and I imagine much bigger things are in store for it.

Halo 3 will dampen that fall, however.
The PS3 has some gloomy days ahead. How many horses win the derby after stumbling out the gate?

You could have went to college on the money you spent to sit on your ass.
I am in High School; that is a little ahead of my schedule. Just so you know, 5 of those consoles are handed down from members of my family who went to college, 1 of them is really my girlfriend's, and the DS was a christmas present.

The keyword is close. Of course it can be third, but I was saying it was going to be at least a close third

Not that I care either way, but I was a little curious about the results of your googlefight - seemed fishy. But all is revealed by removing the words "microsoft" and "sony,"
removing company name inverts results

Adding a space between 'xbox' and '360' inverts the results yet again.

It's definitely not looking up. Theres little historical precedent for a mainstream system, which costs nearly twice their competitors while not really brining much more to the table, to be dropped late in the generation.
But the chicken and egg problem is not to be underestimated. Everyone says the PS3 will take off when they get good exclusive games. Good ports aren't enough, they NEED exclusives. They lost many exclusives such as GTA, Guitar Hero and Metal Gear, they're on the verge of losing square and final fantasy, and gran turismo has some real competition with forza. Son'y first party has never been too great, and how are they going to attract 3rd parties to make good games when the userbase is so small?
MS has halo, gears and the fantastic xbox live, and Nintendo has Mario, Zelda and Wii Sports. What *killer* app does sony have on the horizon that the others cant match, but FF13? It certainly isnt blu-ray.

Sony many not have any killer apps for awhile, but another one of their big problems is the library itself. There simply aren't enough games out. This year should bring a bunch of games and help people justify buying it. I would also not underestimate the power of the FF series, especially with them coming out with not 1, but 2 complete games.
Another thing is if MS does release the v2.0 of the 360 and does have it selling for $479. At that price, the PS3 20gb looks very, very attractive.
Exclusives: Heavenly Sword (very excited about this game), Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, MGS (has it been confirmed to go to the 360?, last I heard it was still rumors), Lair, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
Rehashes: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, HL2: Orange Box, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Oblivion, Enchanted Arms, Fear, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Saints Row, Guitar Hero,
The ones on multiple consoles that are notable: GTA 4, Assasin's Creed, Army of Two, Burnout 5, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Madden 08, typical sports games, etc.
I don't have the PS3 yet, but I do plan on getting one. It's not because I'm a Sony fanboy; it's simply because none of the other systems have the type of games I play. I play RPGs and J-RPGs, and the Nintendo offers have been mediocre in recent history (with one or two awesome games here and there) and the 360 is practically non-existent save one game.
If developers (especially Square Enix) take their games elsewhere, you'll be damn sure I'm buying whatever console they're moving to.

LOL, that was great! :beer:
The song is right on target. Why the Hell are they pushing Killzone 2 as the next big thing? Killzone was garbage.

Nintendo Fan boys are officially worse then Apple fan boys.
The Wii is a gimmick IMO, I can surely understand how it appeals to so many that other consoles don't appeal to. But consoles have always appealed to me, and the Wii....not so much. I am a bit interested, but all of the games and the controller are, to me any way - the type of thing I will like at first and then be completely sick of.
Its my belief that others will start to feel the same way. Give it a year or two, with games that actually appeal to real gamers on the PS3 and 360 and I bet you'll see the Wii taper WAY off. Sure there is Zelda, but the Wii doesn't have a single game thats worth more then 2 hours of play. Maybe Mario Galaxy coming up, but the PS3 has Heavenly Sword, FF XIII, and I actually could list like 10 games I'm looking forward to. The 360 too, has lots of killer apps slater, the Wii has maybe 2.
As of now, I'll just keep my PS2 for quit a while. God of War 2, still playing FF XII, got a couple other role playing games to finish, others coming out. I'll leave Wii to the trendy Apple buyers and Old people.

Unless the 360 version is totally gimped, there's no way it will appear on the system without at least 4 discs or on an HD-DVD (thereby alienating the early-adopters). There are interviews suggesting that it probably won't fit on 25 GB's.
