-Blu-Ray players cost $1,200-$1,800+ (HD-DVD players cost $499-$799+)
-Sony's Blu-Ray player won't arrive until summer
-Dead or Alive 4 for XBOX 360 outsells all PSP titles in Japan
-GameCube still outselling Xbox 360 in Japan
-DS sells over 13 million worldwide since launch (DS can well overtake GC by the end of 2006, I say, which is kind of sad..)
-Japan seeing a real DS shortage (sales are crazy in Japan, hundreds of thousands every week)
-Take Two expects PS3 to launch in late 2006, lowers earnings expectations, delays 360 titles, will port GTA PSP to PS2 not even half a year after its release....
AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST:
-Peter Moore is officially a jackass. There shouldn't be any doubt as to why DreamCast tanked now, regardless of Sega's financial situation. First Peter Moore says "Xbox 360 is a superior culture than Sony [PS2]" (in Japan), next Peter Moore says "Japanese recording is primitive" (in response to being confronted by 360's low sales).

I say Nintendo has the right picture, and Microsoft and Sony are losing it.

Microsoft never had it...and Sony only had it because the N64 and it's cartridges.

Last time I mentioned a PS3 price, I predicted $699. But the cheapest Blu-Ray player so far has a price tag of $1,200, and the most expensive by Pioneer is $1,800. How many jobs does Kutaragi want us to work.

PS3 the most expensive system?! GOSH, WHAT A BIG FARKING SURPRISE. OHNOESOMGLOLOLOLOL. [/sarcasm]

Did you really expect a PS3 to be anywhere near $1,000?

Monkeydog · « **Reply #6 on:** January 07, 2006, 07:58:23 pm »

Unless it's a Nintendo console, every console losses money.

So, it wouldn't be akward for Sony to lose $1,000 a console...heh...

Plus, I don't think they want us to work many jobs...since just by it's price tag, crappiness, and utter suckness....we'll be driven away not to buy it.

Not entirely, but it doesn't surprise me.

I don't think we actually CARE enough about PS3 to worry about the real price...

Funny part is, Nintendo's system'll be the cheapest, and they'll be the only ones making money. Hmm... Isn't this why Nintendo held back on releasing the GameBoy Advance, and did Color instead? Sony and Microsoft are retarded.

Nintendo didn't expect Color to do so well. They held back the release of the Advance in Color's success' wake.

God hates fanboys, but you all have a point.

360 looks shitty and PS3 allready looks fucked.

If Nintendo plays their cards right, Sony and Microsoft are going to die unless MGS4 saves Sony's ass.

Never underestimate the power of people with mullets.

There is no such thing as a Nintendo fanboy, those people are just smart.

No, Nintendo fanboys are by far some of THE WORST fanboys out there.
