Current mind share on B3D

[scooby_dooby]

Personally I think Sony is setting it's fans up for a let-down which may come back to bite it in the butt.

Basicaly because of E3 and Kutaragi's comments the general perception is the PS3 will be truly next-gen while the X360 is sorta XBOX 1.5.

When PS3 debuts in NA, and is battling against X360's 2nd generation of games, I think people will be really dissapointed when they realize PS3 is not going look any better on screen than the 360's best games. Especially after holding out for nearly a year.

I know I would more than a little choked.

Of course these stats aren't in any way indicative of what the masses will buy into, but it is interesting none-the-less to see Revolution is here definitely the 'second console' as more people are wanting Revolution with another console, than wanting Revolution as their only console.

I've seen this sort of talk a lot lately (even on B3D) - The Revolution as a different gaming experience, ipso facto 2nd choice is Nintendo's game plan.

PS3 for me I like the idea of beeing able to install linux and try to develop for it without buying a developer package. The game I'm most looking forward to on xbox is oblevion and I will be able to get that on pc. It was the same last gen between a playstation and my pc i didn't really need xbox.

You should be prepared to be shocked. How many people actually read Kutaragi actually saying that? Not many. And how will PS3 launch games be competing against 2nd generation X360 games? Do you expect the PS3 to be released in 2007? And when did Sony tell you when the PS3 will be released? I want links.

PS3 for me. Although I'm gonna have to wait and see which games on the Xbox 360 that'll end up on the PC before I decide on if it's worth buying, since the few games that really interested me on the Xbox became available on the PC after a while. But both Too Human and Mass Effect look and sound mighty tempting, and Kameo has gone from crap to pretty nice, so I might end up getting a Xbox 360 too.

XBox360 Sooner or later...
PS3 eventually
Rev....Undecided(wait and see)

PS2 was my primary console this gen and Xbox my secondary. Despite starting out gaming on a Nintendo platform, I've never owned a Nintendo console for myself. I've considered getting a GC many times, but never did. Most of the games this gen I've been interested have been on PS2&Xbox.

Same scenario will probably repeat for next-gen albeit Xbox360 being my primary gaming system this time around. I'm excited for both sytems though......

No preference for me at this point. Too soon to tell. If I had to pick one now, I'd go with the X360 since it's more tangible (launching pretty soon).

Well looking at sonys last few launches japan is a spring release and during fall / winter of that same year the system launches in usa and europe .

So yea in 2 of the 3 major markets ms will most likely be on second gen titles and have over a year in dev time on finished dev kits

I guess you ignored this post by scooby. I know you missed it though. You know being that it was against PS3 at all.

Yet we still don't know the release dates. Lets wait for those first, then lets make the statements.

you just can't let anyone have an opinion that doesn't match your own. There's lots of people in this thread that expressed thier opinion on which console they will purchase without getting someone like yourself jumping on them. you shoud learn to follow suit.

And my opinion is that he and people that feel like him will be shocked. If he thinks Sony fans will be let down, then he will be let down when he sees how excited people will be once they see more PS3.

 

[Qroach]

That's great. now, back to the people that want to participate in this thread correctly.

It seems to be a very close race. I'm kinda curious how many people on this forum haven't placed a vote.

 

[scooby_dooby]

Common sense sees Sony launching in japan in 'spring' and then later on the the US and europe. They've never done a worldwide launch before, and the BR drives will be much easier and cheaper to mass produce later in the year. Do you need a crystal ball to see how this is going to play out?

That's why I said 1st gen PS3 games will be going against 2nd gen X360 games, which is true.

You don't have to react like I insulted your family or something, relax...if you want to carry on just PM me.

Now..back to regularly scheduled programming....

 

[Azrael]

Gonna get the Xbox 360 this year but have no commitment to any console beyond that. If the PS3 is reasonably priced I might pick up one when it gets a new Wipeout or other must-have game for me that wont be on the 360.

 

[EricVonZipper]

XBOX 360
PS3
Revolution

All three.


I'll use the 360 for gaming and the PS3 as a media center, Revolution in my spare bedroom for guests and nostalgic trips.

 

[DuckThor Evil]

X360 at launch(my 61" beautiful hdtv is screaming for action as is it's owner btw...) I'll probably buy PS3 at launch too, or very close to it anyways. I'm going to have to see Rev in action before I make my decision about it.

 

[LunchBox]

planning on getting all 3

 

[Readykilowatt]

I'll be purchasing the Revolution and maybe the PS3 at launch. I have no interest in the Xbox 360 whatsoever.

 

[Inane_Dork]

LOL, what you have is a correlation, not causation.

No, it could be a causation. I just don't know for sure. I find it odd that I have no real attraction to PS3 games that, objectively, I know are probably going to be as good as X360 games. So I think that it's quite likely that subconciously I have blocked getting interested in PS3 games because they are PS3 games.
