[PS3] Official Thread (ex Preis, Releasedate, Controller)

WMS says that the primary driver of next generation hardware sales will no longer be the amount or quality of videogame titles per console, but rather consumers' willingness to adopt new high definition DVD formats.

If this theory proves true, the next console cycle wouldn't be the first time video playback capabilities played a factor in console sales. The PS2 served many as a cheap DVD player in the console's early days, although the launch of DVD happened 3 1/2 years before the PS2 launch. The PS3 and its high-def format are launching closer together (after what Pachter implies was a well-planned console "delay"), indicating that Sony is targeting movie fanatics with its Blu-ray enabled console that just happens to play really nice-looking videogames.

"We expect the dominant console at the end of the next cycle to be the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), primarily due to our assessment that Sony will win the high definition DVD format war," the report explains. "However, we expect Microsoft’s Xbox 360 to enjoy a first mover advantage for the next two years, capturing approximately 42 percent of US and European combined next generation hardware unit sales through 2007."[...]

Ich finds nicht übel, der Preis ist zwar hoch, doch durch die imho bessere Hardware gerechtfertigt.

Außerdem bin ich froh das sie sich wieder dem alten Controller gewidmet haben und diesen verbessert, der ist einfach der beste Controller den ich in der Hand gehalten hab, besser als der 360er Controller meiner Meinung, aber das empfindet natürlich jeder anders.
