I have heard that PS3 arn't being sold that much. IS it becuase of the price or is it because it isn't a good system. I have had a PS1 and PS2 and i have liked them both. But hows the third?

i have one and its great but its so pricey 600 dallars is what i payed but its hight tech and great

its too expensive and there arent much good games for ps3 rite now

i no there is a good game on there cause i have one fight night its a good gameits funny when they get knocked out

PS3 price drop causes 2800% increase in sales at Amazon.comHoly shitttttttttt...

well they said pricec dropped 80 percent because of the price so there u go youre rightthey did its there fault

Ok lets face it alot of ppl will buy a xbox 360 because it was out first and isnt as much as a ps3 it also has to do with the games i mean i know alot of people who are crazy about halo and they would go for a 360 any day coz of it. but that brings up wether it is worth sony buying out halo as they would get a hell of a lot more people buying a ps3

In its own market it is being slaughtered by the wii and in america it is the xbox360 that is edging at the ps3. I would love to buy it if they reduce the price of it by 100$ in europe so it would be better

Agree with everyone. The price is just too high. I myself don't really care if it has the most up to date technology; I'm just not going to buy it if it's that expensive. Also to mention the fact that the games on it are just horrible. *Most* of them aren't PS3 exclusive or they just plain out suck. Although I am a Wii fan, I do believe the PS3 can dominate later if Sony starts to think straight.

I havnt seen That many quality games coming out for the ps3 to me i see the Wii sold out more often than the ps3. Most of the place up here just started selling the bare system instead of the COMBO packs that cost almost 1k. :-(

PS3 like it's predecessors (PS and PS2) are aimed towards a more adult crowd that can comprehend the games being created for it. Another words, it is a more complex system with more complex games. By the way the only true Final Fantasy games in my opinion are 1-6. Why? Because they are the only ones to produce more than 2 memorable characters and also kept things interesting. The only thing good about FFVII and the games that followed is that it ment that the adventure was far from over. Any ways, Everybody knows that the bigger fan base for games is the online First Person Shooters. Xbox has that all wrapped up nicely. Therefore, PS3s have not been selling because Sony is a greedy jerk. Example: They went and isolated themselves to just blueray dvd. That means you have to have more than one dvd player to watch all of your favorite movies. Unless you have over 1000 dollars. That's all I have to say. Thanks

There are very few games for it, let alone good games. A high price of the console does not complement the availability of the games. More people will buy the playstation 3 once they release a few more games that are good. Also, alot of games are being made for all 3 consoles so if you already have a wii or a xbox 360 you will not buy a playstation 3 just to play a different version of the same game. When Metal Gear Solid 3 comes out, alot more people will buy the playstation 3 because it will only be on the playstation 3, atleast for a while.

Y'know, people can say the price is justified by the uber-leet hardware under its hood, but in the end, if you had a PS3 with a cheaper form of media, only 4 SPE's (slightly cut down Cell) and a slightly cut down version of the RSX, would we really see that much difference in the games that get released for it?You see the games for the 360, they look amazing, too. By the time the games for the PS3 do catch up, it'll be four years time and the next console generation will be on the horizon.Right now, the games library isn't looking that strong for it, even the much anticipated MGS4 is rumoured to be dual-releasing with the 360, where does this leave the PS3? With Killzone 2 and Final Fantasy XIII? Killzone 1 wasn't that good... FFXIII seems to be all that's going for it. Although, that other game (something chrome) puzzler looked fun. =P

The only reasons it isn't doing as well as it could is because:1.) There are no great fan favourite games out on the PS3 yet because it's the newest out of next generation consoles and because it's so powerful and the graphics are so great that it takes quite a while for the games to be developed and released.2.) The obvious fact that the price is pretty steep, however this should be obvious seeing as it provides a blu-ray entertainment system, all the computer like features of the 360 with more hard-drive memory and it allows free online gameplay unlike Xbox Live and such.

amen to this post. And the sad thing is, I grew up a Playstation fan. It's sad, but Sony is going have to try REAL hard to bounce back from this one. Lower the price to xbox 360's price and cheaper games. they probably dont produce many games because it would take years just to do one
