I can care less about numbers fellas, Sony vs. PS3 vs. Wii, who really gives a crap who sold more consoles. All three consoles kick some major ass, let's just play happily ever after and enjoy all the future game titles that will be released.. Also, if anyone should get there acts together it's these damn game developers who don't unleash the full power of our consoles, come on!! enough of this firt gen shit already, with the exception of Gears and Resistence of course.. We are at there mercy, that's what scares me, not console numbers.. Let's hope they don't take 5 years to utilize the PS3 and Xbox 360's full potential, that's my only gripe..

I will eventually own all 3 systems, but I do not NEED a PS3 right now. There is no must have/must play game in their launch titles.
urmm 4 words METAL GEAR SOLID 4 lol i think you forgot about that.

That's not a launch title, and may not even be exclusive.

Why suggest trading in your ps2 for a ps3 just to play your ps2 games? That don't make sence
The reason why it didn't because you didn't read what i said.You can still kill time by playing PS2 games on your PS3.

This should be easy, one word HALO!. Halo was a launch title for Xbox and sold that console
Nope HALO didnt come into the picture til couple months later because it was a new title.When XBOX launch & trust me i got my XBOX during launch people was not foaming at the mouth for HALO at the time.HALO got good because of word of mouth.People was dieing for Project Gotham Racing and Dead or Alive 3.Because the Pic's on them both was jaw droping.
Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!
(11/19/05 - 9/19/06) Microsoft: Sony's 1080p support on PS3 is all Hype and Not Needed.
(9/20/06) Microsoft: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support. This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 10. January 2007 @ 14:20

Go google Xbox Original launch titles and you'll see Halo is on the list. You also cut my quote short, I stated that it to a while for Halo to catch on, but once it did people purchased the Xbox just to play it. You started this thread, now would be a good time to end it before you come off any worse.

Your original statement was:
Quote:
Name one system in the history of video games that release a killer-app during launch? ? there are none !

Exactly... looks like Bobby should try to remember what he said before he goes telling others to learn to read. PLUS... he's contradicting himself by mentioning PGR and DOA3.

If I didn't read what you said then lets break down your post and you can explain it to me...
Quote:
I hear people say that there is no reason to get a PS3 why not you can still turn in you old PS2 for a trade in.Also PS3 backwards compatibility is a alot more stable they 360 hell Microsoft was not going to support backwards compatibility until fan's complain right fullly so.Also God of War 2 is coming Feb 14.So all i did was upgrade and Sony are still going full speed with making game on the PS2 so if there isn't any game out that you dont like on the PS3 you can kill time playing your PS2 games on PS3.
You say Quote:

Your reason to get a ps3 is because the ps2 can be traded in.
You say Quote:
Also PS3 backwards compatibility
Pretty sure that means playing ps2 games.
You say Quote:
Also God of War 2 is coming Feb 14.
GOW2 is a ps2 title.
AND here's the ringer... Quote:
so if there isn't any game out that you dont like on the PS3 you can kill time playing your PS2 games on PS3
So tell me how you're NOT suggesting buying a ps3 just to play ps2 games if the person doesn't like any ps3 games.

Look bhetrick your a senior member clean your post up because i cant tell if your quoteing what i say or your making a statment.
Okay to address the people that has first grade read skills.How would HALO be a killer-app when people are just playing the game for the first time ever during launch so that mean its was not a killer-app til after the fact.Let me give you a ex:
If Metal Gear solid 4 launch on the PS3 it would be a killer-app why? Because it has a proven track record that its a high seller.If HALO 3 Launched on the 360 it would be a killer-app why because of what i say it has a proven record of being a high seller& a mostwanted title.
If you go back and read my post which you didn't i was giving you things to do until killer-app or a game that your are waiting for launch on the PS3 i didn't say buy a PS3 because it backwards compatibility Sony is still making games for this system unlike X-Box owner's that got dumped in the cold.The PS3 has many things to do that can kill time until better games are released Browser,Blu-ray movie's PSP remote.Just to name a few.Unlike 360 the PS3 is not limited to what you can do.
Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!
(11/19/05 - 9/19/06) Microsoft: Sony's 1080p support on PS3 is all Hype and Not Needed.

I think maybe our definitions of "killer app" are different. How many people knew about Halo doesn't make it any less of a great game, and once people did start hearing about it, it definitely became a must have, but I suppose your definition of "killer app" means a game that you wait for months to come out.
Also, I am sure the PS3 is great, but, in my opinion, most people don't want to shell out $600 to play PS2 games and watch a HD format that may or may not take off. Also, the 360 offers just as much outside of next-gen games as well, live arcade has some pretty fun games, you can rent HD movies and shows, and you have the media streaming options, for example, for the xmas party we threw this year, we streamed music and a slideshow of past xmas parties to our livingroom flatscreen, it was different and gave people something to talk about while they got wasted.
Anyways, these are obviously just opinions and will differ from person to person.

@ Bobbyblu... You can't tell if I'm quoting what you're saying???? See that work which says "QUOTE" right next to your statements... That means I'm quoteing you.
Let me nicely ask this first... is English your first language? I'm not trying to offend you, I'm just asking. Because it seems everybody else is reading and understanding what you post. Yet you're the only one who comes back saying "try reading, that's not what I said..."

The reason you dont understand where im coming from because your quoteing stuff from my statments that i never said.That why your having problems.Proof read before you quote someone that all im asking its not hard.Once again i never said that playing PS2 was the main reason to buy a PS3 i said that you still had the option to play PS2 game because support has not been dropped for that system other words just to killer time plus alot of Sony fans still have alot of favorites from that system.There are many more things you can do with the PS3 i was just giving one of many more options that all how simple is that.
Killer-app
Computer experts sometimes use the phrase with reference to other technologies to explain its significance to laypersons. In this context a killer application refers to a certain usage of prevalent when the technology existed before but did not take off before the introduction of the killer application. Examples for this:HALO.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer-app
I stand corrected.
Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!

I was wondering that too, you always seemed to have constructive posts. Sig maybe? Or maybe just an error, it did say they had problems with the DB yesterday.
