The 10 Reasons that Sony messed up with the PS3

[Accordion]

10. I've been wondering the same thing...

9. My main put-off from the controller, besides its horridly disgusting set-up.

8. Really, doesn't matter to me.

7. Sony's biggest mistake. Aboslutely convinced they've got this thing down pat and the Wii blows straight through the PS3 like a rocket. Eh tu, $ony?

6. The reason I dispise Sony to they're core. They don't care about the customer. They care about the money.

5. A big WTF ran through my head here. I don't care how many versions they send out. If there are none under $400 they can blow it.

4. I didn't know this, but it sounds like poor judgement.

3. This is why I really didn't want the PS3 at launch. Or now. Or tommarow. Come to think of it...

2. If only Sony had common sense this could have been avoided. I don't care to pay $300 so I can have a dang Blu-Ray player that I'll never use. I'd rather buy a $300 console that I'll occasionally use.

1. Cheapa$$ $ony. Nothing could have excused this. Targeting only the wealthy and well off and never the middle-class or below. Disgusting...

If only they made the PS3 more like the PS2.

im most definately working class, i save my money and bought one for myself. and the playstation 2 was just as expensive when it was released.

and if you really think any company actually cares about the customer more than the money-your dreaming.

i have a Wii and PS3 and my list of the Wiis problems is a lot longer than that for the ps3, and would be more accurate and actually real, user based problems.

a lot of this thread is sony fanboys arguing. the points were half good half bad, but they are very indicative of anti sony feeling right now and that feeling isn't there for no reason. point 2 is very valid.

10. point given... not tragic but true, should of kept the ps2 font
9. point given... tilt has failed once before
8. nope
7. nope
6. nope
5. nope
4. nope
3. nope
2. nope... because blueray will succeed
1. nope... because it is worth it

How very specific.

And gdf, you get used to it. Its more like the bees in my front yard now.

As for "the working class", sure I'll be able to save enough money. But not now, and not in the near(or far) future.

Im tempted to even go so far as to say Nintendo DOES care about the customer, maybe not more, but AS MUCH as money. Hence, they listen to the cries for better gaming system that the WHOLE family can enjoy, something Microsoft and $ony never did. Well, Microsoft to some degree, but Sony just seemed to fling poop at us when we asked for user friendy features.

You Xbox360 game F*gs My ps3 console will not get the rings of fire. Go ahead and spend more money on the Elite. All your gonna get is a Bigger hard drive. I bet Gates had someone write that propaganda he wants to corner the gaming market just like winBlows!!

So people who like the Xbox360 are homosexuals? Is that what you're saying? And the general amount of us are not getting the Elite, even if it does come with twice the amount of space of the ps3, HDMI, and looks cool.

The Playstation 3 is an amazing piece of kit. I've played the 360 but it doesn't feel solid or well built and its featureless without the HD-DVD player. The PS3 is just so solid and thoughtfully put together; people accuse Sony of all sorts of things but at the end of the day they still managed to put out a console, that against all odds, is selling well.

What Im saying is poeple who Criticize the ps3 are F*gs. I know people with the xbox 360 its a good system nodoubt. No company can be peferct even microsoft . No One is ever happy. Something can always be better. Its just funny how all the articles are just Sh*tting all over Sony. A CHAMPION IS NOT JUDGED BY IN THE BEGINING OF IT'S CARREER BUT AT THE END OF IT! So give it some time people maybe after christmas then bash this system all you want.

To GDF:

I am not a Sony fanboy, all of my claims for the PS3's good features are actually backed up by documented evidence. The fact remains that Sony cut no corners whatsoever when making the PS3.

Engadget ran an article about the Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 and came to the conclusion that the PS3 was indeed the BEST blu-ray player on the market (and the cheapest too at PS3's launch; not so much anymore though)

Im tempted to even go so far as to say Nintendo DOES care about the customer, maybe not more, but AS MUCH as money. Hence, they listen to the cries for better gaming system that the WHOLE family can enjoy, something Microsoft and $ony never did. Well, Microsoft to some degree, but Sony just seemed to fling poop at us when we asked for user friendy features.

Microsoft? Caring about the customer? Haha, that is utter bull$#@! man. Really, go read many of the Xbox forums that exist and you will find 10,000s of Xbox360s that have died over the years and Microsoft turns a blind eye to the consumer, and then charges them 160 USD to fix the console (regardless of whats needed to fix it, its a flat rate...)... Yeah they are really concerned with the customer...

And Nintendo, I stated my piece in another thread about Nintendo. Really if Nintendo cared about the customer, they wouldn't try selling a Gamecube 1.5 for 250 USD. Thats just an insult to gamers everywhere. Really, I am willing to bet it only costs Nintendo 80 USD to produce 1 Wii, and they sell it for 250 USD... Thats money grubbing at its prime. Unwilling to put in bleeding edge technology all for the sake of making profits.

Uh, well the whole articles based on a bias 360 fanboy's biased remarks, so what did you expect?

I have an idea, whos ready for it?

Here we go, it's pretty epic, so you might wanna hold onto your hats...

Don't be a fanboy for any console!

Wow, crazy eh? Give it a shot. Pfft.

Fascinating. That same Gamcube 1.5 you speak of blasted a hole 3 times through your precious PS3. Check the sales. Check the fans. Check everything and anything. They love the Wii. No one I know (with sanity) hates it. So fascinating you should say that.

No other console has as amazing AG (activity Gameplay). Not the 360, and certainly not the PS3. Given, Sony will try and take the Wii's wireless idea, but that'll just screw them up too.

He's right though. It cost Nintendo $75 CAD to fix my Wii.
