Fire I am going to point something out to you. You DON'T NEED a HDTV for when everything goes digital. Yes that is what is happening whenever the change actually occurs. You just need to pick up a converter box for oh about a 10th of what a HDTV will run.
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Also isn't blu-ray losing money because not many blu-ray players (read: PS3s) have sold? Then they too are losing money... poorly. You of course wont understand this because you seem to think technology is perfect as soon as it comes out.
Yes the PS3 is losing billions, although by the Blu-ray becoming the new standard it becomes profitable. HD DVD has dying, hence the money they're pouring down the toilet is going nowhere.
Sony was in an interesting position with the Xbox 360 launching fast to cut the PS2 generation short and HD DVD launching before blu-ray. First off, understand that the royalties of blu-ray winning the format war over hd dvd makes the console wars look like nothing financially. Defeat HD DVD, become the standard and all their PS3 losses are covered.
Making it a standard ensures they win the format war but puts them in a strange position in the console war, as they become more expensive than the systems with DVD players standard.
The task is clear, to make games that both outshine the rival platforms by use of the blu-ray drive, increasing consumer interest, and lower manufacturing cost to lower the price. Both of which seems to be their goal. This will merely speed up their eventual format war victory and place them in a better position to attract 3rd parties so hopefully they can actually be profitable on the PS3 this generation.
They will continue to support the PS3 regardless of profitability however, because they need it for blu-ray. Even if they fail profitability, they still win out overall, consumers still win out overall because they will be supported.
You also seem to miss the point that not every movie is being released onto Blu-ray. Sure a good majority of them are being released onto blu-ray for the simple fact of appeasing the populous that bought a blu-ray player for their high def televisions. Although you seem to just orgasm over anything that remotely says HD compatible.
I don't even know what you're talking about. Did I say every single movie is being released on blu-ray? Certainly don't recall that. Plenty of movies I llke that are actually out on bluray.
Seriously do you want true high definition? Going to a play will blow your mind with how tripped out you get over movies in high definition. Hell actually going outside should just make your brain melt because of how much you apparently jerk it to your high definition... everything.
Your jihad about PS3 is just retarded. The PS3's price isn't worth buying one because well the PS3 doesn't have many good games. I am not saying R:FoM is a bad game, but please stop glorifying Motorstorm. It's a pretty racing game. Guess what Gran Turismo is a pretty racing game. Forza is a pretty racing game. You know what all racing games are the same. You drive around trying to finish in first. Quite frankly I think that gets boring. You listed Haze as coming out for the PS3 when it's multiplatform. You listed Ninja Gaiden Sigma as an exclusive when it's a port. MLB 07 The Show is also technically a port. Hell I got the same game you did about a month earlier then you did because you wanted the better graphics. I will tell you this the game play of MLB 07 is the same on PS2 and PS3. The only difference is one has prettier graphics. How can you sell a system with mostly multiplatform and ports when you can pick it up for slightly less graphics on a cheaper system?
I am tired of reading this pointless bickering, and honestly I don't give a shit if you answered these questions already. PS3 isn't the end all be all. Could it be at some point? Hell yes it could because these counsels are still young. Does PS3 have a lot of ground to cover? Fuck yes it does.
You seem to have no interest whatsoever in the video game industry yet you read every word I type as if the conversation we're having about it obligates you to.
For the record: I don't recall referring to Ninja Gaiden Sigma as an "exclusive," only saying it was a great game. I don't recall saying MLB: The Show is an exclusive either other that it's the best baseball game out there, which is true if it's on PS2 or PS3. The rest of that just seems like you were having a seizure while on the keyboard.
So everyone isn't drooling to play the game and you think they're jumping down your throat? God forbid anyone wants to play a different game.
I've seen the video, some interesting things but it still looks like god of war with a woman. By the way, that's a good comparison(since you obviously didn't get it last time), because the god of war games were awesome. All people are doing by making that comment is giving a frame of reference of the game play; no one said it sucked. Only TheOsyris said they didn't like the health constantly draining(one aspect, not the whole game), which honestly I don't enjoy that either.
Just because someone isn't praising the hell out of something, doesn't mean they're putting it down.
You're being kind of inaccurate here.
You said the only PS3 game that interested you was Ratchet and Clank, thereby saying Heavenly Sword, which was on the list I mentioned, I took it to mean didn't interest you.
So I said I figured any real gamer would be interested in Heavenly Sword, which obviously isn't meant to be taken 100% seriously, because afterall, some gamers will not like same games because their genre no matter how good they are.
The "jumping down my throat" was about how I was being taken so seriously on that issue.
