PS3 Fanboy

they would not be able to call it a playstation if they remove all compatibility .. all he is trying to do is reflame a false negative buzz online regarding a ps3 with no BC which surfaced several weeks ago.

They'll be shooting themselves in the foot if Sony ends up cutting the price to something less than $399 as a result of this

Microsoft should worry about its own predictions

-We will release a new console in 2 years so we get ahead of Sony and Nintendo

-We will fix the cooling problem before we release any more games

-We will demand $60 a year for Xbox Live so we can bribe companies to make games for us and only us.

-We will sell only 1 million consoles now until Q1 2008. While Nintendo and Sony will sell 6 million and 8 million respectively.

-Halo 3 will sell over 5 million based on its brand strength.

-We will start producing games for our new console in 2008.

I know I console war is inevitable. Might as well get some good entertainment out of it.

Buy a steak dinner? That's it?

Sony: "Oh, shucks, you got me. Guess I have to eat a nice steak dinner tonight. Wow am I embarrassed. I really got egg on my face right now eating this delicious, expensive, juicy cut of beef cooked medium-rare lain upon irish haystack and topped with herbs and butter. I won't be making THAT mistake again..."

Okay this one doesn't make sense to me at all. First Microsoft prediction is based off of a lot of decent information so it's not really a prediction and second why is this bad? Why is Microsoft saying that they are going to do that in a negative way.

We know the 60gb is going away and the 80gb is the new high quality model aimed at defeating xbox. Now a new 400 dollar one would be ideal for getting casual gamers and taking money away from the wii.

Now some people are freaking omgz new ps1 and 2 compatible wah wah wah. Okay, I'll be the first to admit it and come out of denial THE PS1 AND 2 GAMES LOOK LIKE SH*T ONE THE PS3. Even the new upscaling and smoothing sucks. It irritated me so much I stopped playing it on it. With so many ps2 consoles being moved why should they keep it?

lets bet a steak dinner on it.

There has already been speculation about the 40gb/$400 sku here. I think it will happen, although I doubt it will have all the feature reductions mentioned here.

Sounds like pretty sound logic to me. Sony is crazy, not stupid. They've seen what the high price of entry does to them, and they've shown that they're willing to re-evaluate their original business decisions. We've had people on this very blog predicting a future low-end SKU even before the price drop. Now just because Microsoft says it will happen and N'Gai says it won't, we're going to re-place our own bets? This is one hell of an ugly console war...

dont give a shit about backwards compatibility but if sony went ahead and did this sign me up on the PS3 bandwagon ! would give many the ultimate gaming experience, being able to afford both a 360 and a PS3 !!

Reply

Can Harrison or Tretton make some bet with NGai as well? Here are some topics:

1. 360 will still have failure rate of 50% by 2008
2. Service will be extend for 4 whole years
3. X360 Super elite will finally come out with WIFI and for 600$.

How can you remove "all" backward compatibility? At the most you can cut out the PS2 chip, but even then you have software emulation based BC for well over 50% of titles, which would be available for all units. Or is this just another way to divert attention from what the 360 delivers on this front?

It's not going to happen. It would cost Sony more to make the new SKU alongside the existing than it would to reduce the cost of the existing SKU. Besides, the 360 core is selling like crap. People don't want the low end version of the system.
