Top Ten Reasons To Wait For PS3

[Hipster]

The only good game coming out for PS3 to me is MGS3. And I'd rather play as Sam Fisher anyday. Devil May Cry isn't my kind of game, and Killzone is going to be lame again. Sony knows how to make RPGs and racers not FPS's. It just has to do with the games you like. I think 360 will offer a more satisfying plethora of FPS games and a more satisfying online experience.

And that controller really really turns me off. It makes my fingers hurt just looking at it.

And the number 1 reason NOT to go with a PS3?

Sony's Rootkit.

Oh please, move on and get over it, they realized they made a mistake and are taking appropriate measures. I'm sure they won't let that happen again since they're being sued by many. Aside from that, I perfer the PS3 over Xbox 360. The 360 seems like its just a gaming console, while the ps3 seems like it'll have more potential than just that, it'll be more.... wait and see :)

Or you know it may be written to give people information that there are alternatives out there and people have a choice and that maybe they should hold off and wait for both systems to come out.

You do realize that are other consoles besides MS's?

Oh really? So the article tells me and others about the existence of PS3 & Revolution. Thats brilliant! :rolleyes: Its nothing but the people with their own agendas trying to defuse the hype around 360's launch.

No shock that the article falls flat on its face:

It sounds like that article is wrote by a desprate fanboy to me?:huh::

i think u'll find sony doesnt make those games, they r by other Japanese companies, and sony have yet to finalise the controller, but i do admit that one does look sore...

[Blackice]

im getting my PS3 when im in japan next year along with the games that the west will never see because its to consumed by pathetic sports titles that EA will flood the market with!

USA =/= "the west" :)

The only good game coming out for PS3 to me is MGS3. And I'd rather play as Sam Fisher anyday. Devil May Cry isn't my kind of game, and Killzone is going to be lame again.

MGS3 was for PS2. Its out and the "subsidence" version of it is already announced (released?). Nobody cares if you don't like DMC, because I liked it, and so did (since they're making a third one) thousands if not millions of other gamers. Also, please tell me how you got your clairvoyance, because if I could tell if games are going to be good/not based on minute-long videos (especially since they are generally accepted as being pretty damn awesome, even if there's doubt as to whether or not they were realtime).

The Playstation 3 is the only console that really looks like the next generation to me. Microsoft announced a console and it quickly came out. It's also not long since the old XBOX, which was alive and kicking. Leaving the XBOX for another year/half-year wouldn't have hurt. Sony are taking the slower game, but are ensuring quality. Whereas Microsoft's game systems have been built from currently exisiting technology, at least Sony is being creative and innovative by making a completley new processor architecture, that will not only be used in the PS3, but by very demanding servers and HD televisions, if nothing else. The CELL also has driverless support for every other CELL device. Imagine hooking up your CELL-powered HD camcorder (:p) to your PS3, and having them instantly recognise each other and just work? OK, you're going to need software to use them, but at least there are no driver issues, and the CELL has been shown time and time again to be amazingly faster than currently-exisitng technology.

Also, you just know SONY can pull off a console like this - look what they did with the PS2! Innovative stuff coming left, right, and centre, with games as stunning (in visuals, depth of story, realism) as Metal Gear Solid 3, even though there were "superior" consoles out from a raw horse-power PoV, and many believed the console was pushed to its limits already, and it was dead. The difference between this case and the 360 vs PS3 is that the PS3 doesn't just accel in raw HP, but in the whole way it operates. The XBOX just added more Mhz, but didn't revolutionise. The PS3, however, is a revolution. That's how things make it big - by being innovative. Everyone knows it - its nothing new. Microsoft just can't do that. There are some things Microsoft just can't do right, and games are one of them (acutally, I think its the overboistrous attitude of the people they employ, but there you go). Look at J.Allard, and then look at Ken Kutaragi - two completley different kinds of people, only Ken is more like the type who just succeed. J.Allard went about saying the 360 is more powerful than the PS3 and their games will look better - with lots of things to the contrary, and talking about a console that doesn't even exist in plastic and silicon yet! He's the sort of "it just is... err.. ignore everyone else, and buy our stuff". Sony provide more. I can't really describe it, and I'm sure I'm going to get flamed by all the very contraversial things I've said here, but half of it I don't agree with. I'd like to revise it, but I know I can't do better to describe why Sony will just win. Like I said, you just know Sony can make something great out of this.

wow...that was bad...:/

Way to go Sony Fanboys...(Y)

[iconboy]

Why get the PS3, when you could wait for the PS4!? :)

[Slimy]

Meh, Nothing on that list makes me want to wait at all.

586847745[/snapback]

I don't even plan on buying a console and this was the most pathetic 10 reasons I've ever seen. They can't think of something better than that? Pathetic.

Loved that article, first decent thing to come out of IGN in a long time.

And I'm a Nintendo fanboy, I'd prefer both M$ and Sony both burn in hell, but I must agree with this article.

[Tungsten T]

Hey man, I never said Sony did say it, I just said I had heard that. If it isn't true, than it isn't true, that's all you had to say. I never declared that Sony said that, and that it was 100% true, just that I had heard it.

I wasent attacking you, i was just that that was a load of crap ( the one console stuff )

I was technicely attacking the person who started that rumer

:rofl:...I should also note I am not a MS fan boy...

hell I use a Mac and own a Sony MD....:/

but come one, you got to agree that post was weak...Blue Ray...fine, Connection and Expension...fine. But COME ON, a game listed down as a reason? You can still pre-order?!?!...

You got to agree that the author didn't put too much thought in making the article an unbiased and fully supported one and so can't we come to a conclusion that he/she must be some kind of Sony Fanboy to push out an article like that?...

I stand corrected...

Fact is... there are MANY people that will buy the PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4.

Just like many are buying the 360 and will buy the 360 for Halo 3.

Shaddap.

[Buzz99]

The rootkit thing from SONY CDs makes me go away from them for anything they are making (king of a boycott). Just a personal choice though....

Ok seriously, I am an Xbox360 fan-boy and let me say this.

Truely truely, PS3 is the the most advanced game system out of all the new systems, it truely screams 'next-gen' with 1080P tv support which would be a standard in a couple of years due to regulation by U.S. Congress (By 2009 most people should have HD ruling...) anyways, so stop argueing people. The Xbox360 to me doesnt look so next-gen, I mean they should've used bluetooth too but they didnt, which would've made it better for responsiveness, etc.

Blu-Ray is also next-gen, most probably this is going to be the standard soon, because of its huge capability, and capacity, so why not buy the PS3?

I am personally buying an Xbox360 when the PS3 comes out which is when we will see some dropping prices and then months later I will save for a PS3 and buy it, and maybe revolution if its worth buying, mainly for the classic Nintendo games really :rofl:

Go Xbox360!!

[NienorGT]

Let's think of History...

Nintendo has ruled from 1986 to 1996 when the PSX as outpassed the N64 right?

Now we are near 2006, does Sony will lose his pole position after 10 years?

(By the way, who want to play with 7 Boomrang? :rofl: )

[Rotparoge]

Look up SATIRE in the dictionary.

Like some IGN reviewer has the qualifications to do an analysis of a console's success. Laugh, or don't, and then shut up.

[TheLaughingMan]

I don't care which is better, what ever is out right now ppl are gona get. And since now 360 is oout everyone wants that, plus some sony fanboy is gona buy a 360 no matter what.

all i'm looking forward on the ps3 is Tekken *pls god let it be online* and msg4*although it was pre rander stuff I still like it*

The article is about the PS3.... :huh:

No shock that the article falls flat on its face:

Well it seems to have gotten a rise out of the Xbox360 people for some reason so it apparently did its job.
