Similarities between PS2 and PS3

...

 

Well just have to give PS3 some time then huh. But that is pretty funny.

 

...

 

I've pointed that out and noted it too in a few posts, libre. It's very true that this happened with the PS2 and it did turn around and go to be really big. I am hoping the PS3 comes down a bit more in price so more people can afford it because already the games for it are going to be out in 2008 that just really are going to rock. It was slow to get the games but now they are happening.

 

I think Sony screwed up by announcing a 40 GB in Europe and taking the 60 GB out, why couldn't they put in the 80 GB, Sony really hates us. But yeah, they are similar in ways.

 

That does bring things into prospective. But we all know it won't have the same success as the PS2. The competition is much tighter this time around.

 

I wouldn't be so sure...

 

I've been thinking that the same thing happened to PS2 all the time :/

Well, actually I think the PS3 is more comparable to Microsoft's Xbox

-Released the last
-Most expensive
-Touted as having unecessary hardware
-Huge, black, monster of a console (xD)
-Was the most powerful console of them all, yet never actually showed it, developers never had a reason to push it beyond what could be done on other consoles
-Exclusives all stolen by competitors
-No good games early on, but had several titles said to be the 'savior' of the console that never really delivered

WOW. lol. How is the PS2 expensive???? It's like 90 bucks. It has so many good games.

but yeah the PS3 started out really expensive. I think Sony shouldn't have started with that price.

But in looks i like the WII xD

PS3 wasn't fully released until March of 2007 =P

 

...

 

The Wii had a worldwide launch in the November/December window, PS3 wasn't available in 1/2 the market until March

So, other than minute disputes over launch date, you should have also pointed out that technically the PS2 and the Xbox launched with the same price, though to the Xbox's favor considering you were getting a more powerful console for the price of a weaker console.

100% agreed. Although, the PS2 was more debateable over no good games at the time if I remember right...

 

Right, so we're going to go ahead and have a back and forth dispute over one point in my post, and use that to disregard every other point made?

Either way, onto the article itself; a lot of those points are rather subjective , really moreso just a series of coincidences to say"lol hay PS2 had rubber duck demo, so does PS3, teehee" than something to list and say that the PS3 is doing something to repeat the PS2's success
