Joel Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Like I stated in my other post, I have yet to see an PS3 on the shelf at Target, BestBuy, Circuit City or CompUSA and while I don't live in the huge city, I don't live in hicksville either. Does that mean it's a huge seller or that there is still a shortage? See how anecdotal evidence works; I can support either viewpoint with what I have seen. I'll take sales numbers seriously when NPD publishes, anything else is just opinion. Maybe it means the stores wised up and stopped ordering them because of the crappy sales. ;) I've seen them on store shelves, and I live in a large city. Next time, ask a clerk if he has any.

And if you look hard enough, you'll find something to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaPrime Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 He's probably talking about the PS2, which is still outselling every other home console in most of the world. Indeed, it's not a bad idea to keep it on the market until Sony can lower the PS3 price to a more reasonable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm a casual gamer and am probably going to keep my PS2 for the forseeable future. I can't think of any game on want to play more than God of War II and finishing FFX 12 right now anyways. I haven't see any 360, Wii or PS3 game that says Wow! buy me anyways. They're all the same now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I don't see the Wii as a PS3 killer, it will oustell both of the hi def consoles by a wide margin at that price, but it doesn't mean the PS3 or 360 are in trouble. The only questions that have to be answered is will the novelty wear off of "ooooh, I'm really bowling" and will lack of HD support come back to bite Nintendo. I'd also have to ask how many bad games will get pushed onto the Wii being sold on the "intuitive, real life control" that will wear thin quickly. Before you come back with a bunch of theory about why that won't happen I say just look at the DS, tons of games, mostly crap as the GameBoy selection has always been. And I still don't see the 360 as being a better deal with the added cost of Live, being nickled and dime to death on Marketplace and a $200 add on for HD-DVD. Of course none of this means the PS3 will suddenly take off, but if the game selection gets better I think it will do just fine. Serioulsy, there are several people in this thread who keep tossing the "fanboy" bomb when honestly it's pretty clear who the "fanboys" are.
