They don't ever listen to their consumers their stuff overpriced and just because it says sony on it people are going to snatch it up.. Sony has become out of touch with the gaming industry and when the PS3 fails it will wake them up and they will come back to make GAMING consoles not a super computer or DVD player just a gaming console.. Either way if the PS3 fails and sells 5 million in the next 3 years it will give them a heads up on the next gen DVD wars.. Sony wants Blu Ray to be the standard and is not worried about the gaming industry.. They are more interested in the Next Gen DVD wars..

omg have not been reading guys, M$ needs competition. VCR vs. Betamax was good because it helped put out the better hardware in the end. if the competition keeps it up we will be playing virtual reality games with crystal clear graphics by the year 2010.

Thought you didn't have to camp out and were getting one for $250 which is the manufacturing cost? lol

Just giving you a hard time... We all say stupid shit from time to time.

I hope the PS3 is a little better built and acts as a wake-up call to MS, I got 15 seconds out of a game before my brand new premium 360 went tit`s up this morning, not impressed..

Case in point, when IE finally put Netscape under in the browser wars, Microsoft sat back and didn't do a darn thing with IE for years. Then came Firefox and people started using it, they started taking market share away from IE. They developed things like Tabbed Browsing, they put in things like pop-up blockers right into the web browser. After a while, MS decided that they had to do something similar with IE or risk losing more market share. So, now IE has functionality like a built in pop-up blocker and tabbed browsing.

So, if it weren't for competition, we might not be where we are today with consoles.

I for one want Sony to succeed in a big way...it will just push MS to develop this Xbox further and make it better.

Same thing with the copying that Sony do. They copied the Wii's controller, etc, just as IE copied tabs. If it's shameless, like those "1000 GAMES IN ONE!" things that look like a PS2 controller, that's bad. But simple copying is the way to evolve your products.
