PS3 is beaten by PS2?

In terms of sales, YES.
OMG, what has happened to Sony? Has their marketing strategies gone kaput already? But then again, they has always mark up their products so sky high that even Sony enthusiasts find it hard to comply. I’m a Sony fan, mainly because of parents influence and lifelong commitment to it. It’s like a religion. But after weighing the technologies, games and prices (especially prices and grow some brains), I gotta say bye bye to Sony, maybe for a while.
I bought the DS 2 years ago when Kinyu’s cousin came over from her year trip in UK and showed us the DS. She also has a PSP with her then. And frankly, I’m not a hand-held fan at all. I’m purely a console girl gamer. But after trying on the DS, I got really hooked. I bought a set a few weeks after. I have to say that I love the PSP’s graphics and sound much more but that’s about it. The games, which is one of the the main issue don’t appeal me. While the games in DS are so cute and fun to play! Other than The World Ends With You, all the games that I played were worry free, almost ‘brainless’ games which are very entertaining. While on the PSP, the only game that I truly adore is none other than Final Fantasy: Crisis Core. But it’s like playing a console worthy game on a hand-held. And I DID consider getting a PSP JUST FOR the game… but I was too late, there was a huge price jump from RM600 to RM 1000, sigh…
Back to PS3, I also got a Wii, present from Kinyu which I like quite alot. The graphics aren’t that fantastic, just like DS but the technology and the game play is very unique and entertaining. While PS3 is still using the traditional technology. What is sadder is that the PS2 has gone up a notch in sales. Maybe people has started realizing these 2’s main differences are only with the image and sound quality?
Check out this page for the news. Hard to believe?
Kinyu’s sis got a Wii recently because she likes it so much and she even bought the Guitar Hero set! I had much fun playing the drums set. Maybe Sony should think of how to make their stuff more enjoyable and not just awe the people with beautiful graphics and sound quality.

For me, DS pawned PSP. But PSP is catching up because games are illegally distributed. As for Wii and PS3, I personally prefer PS3 because everything Wii can do, PS3 can do but PS3 did it in much better graphic. :p In term of sales, yes, PS3 sucks but Xbox 360 and Wii have better sales because they have “illegal” games which not available in PS3. :p

PSP’s new series is bringing it down cuz no one could ‘break the hardware’ yet. so with the old stocks, sellers are using this opportunity to suck our blood -_-
PS3 is almost 50% more expensive than wii. That’s one of the turnoff for potential buyers. No doubt the graphics are fantabulous XD Have you seen the new PS3’s controller? Looks familiar no? If they are going to copy wii to that extent, they should be a winner in no time but they’ll be throw trash for being uncreative. Yea I hope we get ‘pirated’ games soon too. It’s a pain to fork out so much money for a game >_<
