PS3, the new Saturn

[Eviltaco64]

Ofcourse double layer dvds can fit a blu ray game,just they do it on 2 or 3 dvds.Make your brain to work a bit.As for piracy,hahaha this is the real reason ps3 is unsuccesful,dont hide behind your fingers,unless you live in another planet

A Blu-Ray game will fit on DVDs... Usually in a compressed manner which can bring down the quality of a game (compressed video, blurrier textures, etc).

And look what piracy did to the PSP. It was a successful console, but software sales were low, resulting in a lot of companies making games for DS or stopping PSP development.

And don't insult people, it's unnecessary.

Generation is defined as "A group of individuals born and living about the same time." Wii is current gen by definition and you cant say its not. You can say its not the same type of system as 360 and PS3 and thus should not be compared. Much the way the DS and PSP are from the same generation as the PS2 but should never be compared to it.

P.S. I think we can all agree on one thing. kojiro7's last post was an epic fail.

Yes, I think we can all agree on that.

Anywho, I don't think arguing over who has "won" any particular year has any merit. What matters is not what place you are in, but whether you have enough of an installed base to make a decent living. Being last is no big deal as long as you survive. Being first is not a good thing if you're overextending yourself to maintain an artificial lead (cough - MS - cough).

While Nintendo is not my first platform, I don't have anything against them. I certainly admire how they've been able to get people to keep buying their stuff. They hit their target just about perfect. That's probably the main problem Sony has right now - figuring out who they're targeting, and then doing so.

So basically you're saying that piracy will help the PS3?

Ofcourse.Like ps1 and ps2.Am I wrong?

Ds has more piracy than any other console,many flashcards to pirate it.Psp is not unsuccesful because of piracy,its another story.Listen my friend,in all years I remember videogames piracy helped them boost their sales and popularity.For spectrum/amstrad/commodore we but copy tapes .For amiga/atari st we buy copy disks.You can tell me now,snes/megadrive,etc. didnt have piracy,I agree.But those times we go and rent cartridges like video tapes,or buying cheap used games,we seldom buy a new game,only the most popular.Sony put people to piracy again with ps1 and the mass crap and good games,thats why it had such success.Noone can deny all these facts

If you mean that piracy will increase hardware sales, then yes, you're right in a way. But it badly hurts software developers, who are the people keeping the system alive in the first place.

That's debatable. Developers have ALWAYS had to deal with piracy, and it's lower on the PSP than other platforms. It's a common EXCUSE given, but it's rarely ever the truth.

Decent games will sell enough despite piracy. Piracy arguably helps sell GREAT games. Poor games won't sell, piracy or not. Expect purveyors of crap to blame everything except their own lack of talent.
