yeah, good point that. well if sony doesnt launch by xmas 2007, then it will be a level playing feild. probably slightly in m$'s favour for the reast of the world not including japan

Yeah but i highly doubt they wont release till xmas 2007, they will prob release it sometime between sept and dec 2006, they wouldnt be stupid enough to hold it back that long, and worldwide PS3 will outsell 360, its just something people know thats going to happen... now we get the fanboy arguements

IF it releases in sep to dec 2006, then yes, it will more then likely outsell he 360 al up. but besides japan, it will be close between the two plaforms in all countries

if, on he otherhand, they do not release at that date, and all the pointers asre saying that they wont be able to release before xmas 06, they will have a far harder time selling it to the world outside japan

November 22 2011. They are going to rename the unit when it is finally ready to ship Playstation 4 and claim that it is four times better than Xbox 720 which will be due to be released around the same time

although you are just kidding, you make a good point. I personally believe that sony will either:

1.) just give up for 3/4 of the next generation (3.5-4 years) and will release their Next-next-gen console ahead of the 3rd gen xbox (and concentrate on marketing the PSP in the meantime)
2.) release a PS3 sometime in mid-late 07 with no blu-ray, crap-specs, with Visuals somewhat better than the original xbox

HD-DVD will win the format war, just because of its ability to be played in current-gen players (SD only)
but, the general public is not ready for HD-DVD yet. as someone said earlier, we have just recently gotten 82% of the public with DVD players. it needs to be at least 90-93% before it can even think about being released.

Also (not quite on topic) the xbox 360 was released just a little bit too early. it should have been released this spring at the earliest to: reduce shortages, increase marketing, have a larger launch portfolio, etc. (and yes, i do have a 360 and think it's awesome) Also, because the original xbox still had some life in it.

the 360 was released early so m$ had as large an install base as possible for when the ps3 launches. thats fairly obvious.

and some people need hd-dvd, most dont. if m$ release the hd-dvd player soon, they will have even more an advanatge over the ps3 when it launches

yea it'll make ir for Xmas!

I just gotta say there's no way the 360 will ever get a $100 price cut.
maybe a $50 cut but not $100.

And as others have pointed out...

- if blu-ray becomes the next BetaMax format, and/or

- the PS3 is that much more difficult to program for compared to the 360, leading to differences on the level of third party first generation Saturn and Playstation games respectably, and/or

- there's too much of a price difference, and/or not enough of a performance difference...

on top of a continued delay, it will hurt Sony. But I guess believing this makes me a fanboy, since well reasoned and intelligent arguments means that Sony will dominate regardless.

How do you cancel posts? I made a minor edit, and it came up as a new post. Yeah, that's why I'm posting this message -- because it became the duplicate instead of editting the originally posted message.

Ok look... yeah, maybe the 360 was rushed... but can everyone PLEASE quit the bitching about the shortages! It's not a unique situation and it would have happened no matter what. Even Tickle-Me-fuckin'-Elmo sold out that one year. Everything that comes out around xmas time that has a large demand will sell out. "But they should have waited til spring" No, they shouldn't have. As a business, that woulkd have been absolutely retarded. Everyone knows that the holidays is the best time to release something to get max sales. And even if they had started production, let's say, a month or two ahead, and produced an extra 100,000[in the US] (horrible figures, i know) it STILL would have sold out.

I think the mandatory date for everyone to switch to HD is sometime in 2008, correct me here?

well i know that ina ustralia teh date to go to digital tv is 2008 (i think they are pushing it back to 2010 though).

ferrari_rulz_02 · « **Reply #74 on:** March 07, 2006, 03:11:00 PM »

well i thinky ou have made a lot of very good points there digitalhigh. i havent read anything about a possible release date for halo 3, but what you are saying could be very true.

i like how you say that its the hardware that makes a console. to that i do agree, but not entirley. for teh agmes that are released across two platfors (in thsi case, the ps2 and the xbox), then the superior hardware of the xbox made these games look more apealling. i have also play gta on both ps2 and xbox, and belive the xbox version is far better.
but for the sheer quantity of games released on teh ps2 makes it an attractive choice for some.

but as you put it perfectly,

XBOX FOREVER!!
