Talk about anything here that there isn't another specific forum for. General chit-chat between the SG regulars. The Moderators will be sad pandas if you spam... too much.

PS3 sales continue to drop in Japan

Post by Jeff 2G6 »

BURN!

Yes I know it comes from a source about as reliable as Wikipedia, but nevertheless if it's true or not, it's fucking hilarious. This sucks too I just got a PS3 and it's already dead before it even starts fighting. How lame.

At least us PS3 owners have firmware 2.0 with remote play! w00t!

Overrated. It's ok, but it's about as good as Halo.

Nintendo was nearly dead once upon a time... PS3 is like a car, this one won't sell, the next next next one, might. One big mistake = if you don't drop dead you might .. :E

Nintendo is different from Sony. Nintendo had no choice but to fight madly for survival. Sony can go elsewhere and let the sinking ship sink.

PS3 was high because of Dynasty Warriors 6 rofl. Not to mention Mario Party DS beat out Super Mario Galaxy in sales this week as well. God the japanese have terrible taste in games.

Fuck. As much as I love dynasty warriors games, that still isn't nearly enough of a reason for me to buy a PS3.

What the hell.
Ace Combat 6 isn't that good. And sadly it's better than any PS3 titles I've seen.
How the the fuck does a F-16 Falcon carry 100 air-to-air missiles..?
That's bullshit.

MY PS2 I mean PS3, sure plays GTA: San Andreas very smoothly. Why did I ever make fun of this system?

I use my PS3 to play that Loco Roco thing, and Tekken Online, and sometimes for some Folding @ Home. I like to do my bit.

I guess that's why it's now the #1 next-gen console in Japan.
