according to Game Spot it is rumored that sony payed nearly $120 million for the rights to the company in charge of the rumble feature for the controllers. that was one of my biggest complaints about the controller. i could care less about the stupid tilt capabilites of the controller. i just missed the rumble. it just wasn't the same playing racing games hitting the wall at 100+mph and feeling nothing. so i am very glad to see this hopefully return. i think it is a smart move on sony's part.

HAHA! I wasn't saying that's why it seemed interesting. But that was funny.

Here it is! The target market for the PS3! Say all you want about Nintendo being for kids, I'd rather be involved in that demographic than this one.

Enjoy!

Wow this guy is clever, wow.

everyone hear about the new 120GB 360 coming out? do you think that is going to hurt the ps3 even more especially now with some of the once exclusives games becoming multi-platforms?

Ra · 03-21-2007, 12:22 AM

The XBox 360 owns the PS3 even without the 120GB, so I'm going to say "Hell Yeah". And I think it's pretty obvious that Sony is going to be hit badly with those exclusive games suddenly becoming not-so-exclusive now.

And it's got both HDMI and IPTV support and comes in black! If they have some way to move stuff from an old hard drive to a new one, I'll be buying this new model day one. Will it hurt the PS3? Maybe not right away, but it takes away yet another two things that Sony fanboys use as a base for their attacks against the 360, HDMI support and a larger hard drive.

Who knows now days. There was some dude in my home town who thought he was "Da REAL Slim Shady!" in my city center, and just goes up to people's faces and starts rapping his head off. Thanks to drugs and imagination, we can't tell what's real any more.

Well, we CAN, but there are just some people out there who are so stupid that you could swear they are acting...but they are not...

LMFAOOOOOO!!! OMG, I want to force that kid's f***ing face to the ground. But I loved that video so much. One of the most hilarious things I've seen in a while.

What'chall know about that PSTriple bizzles?

@ this kid saying Final Fantasy was on Sony before it was on Nintendo. hahahaha. I hope he winds up driving his "Caddy" into Compton and gets his "slick hair" removed from his scalp by playing friction with asphalt.

Eh, I just felt like posting some gaming news suddenly. I'm sure this isn't coming as a surprise to anyone.

Sony's PlayStation 3's down 2-to-1 to Nintendo's Wii
======================================

Sony's new PlayStation 3 video game has gone from top dog to underdog in record time.

Despite the buildup and hype around its arrival in November, the PS3 has been outsold so far - at a rate of almost 2-to-1 - by the Nintendo Wii.

In February, the Wii was the top-selling console video game system with an estimated 335,000 sold, outpacing the Microsoft Xbox 360 (228,000) and the PS3 (127,000), according to The NPD Group.

For Sony, that performance "is simply abysmal," Newsweek's N'Gai Croal says. "The PS3 is sucking wind right now. ... Price is a factor. Some of the negative buzz is a factor. Some of the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is a factor. And the lack of a large number of triple-A software titles is a factor."

Nintendo's $250 Wii, released the same week as the PS3 ($500 to $600), has sold about 1.9 million so far, compared with 1.1 million PS3s.

Initial online bidding for the PS3 soared to $2,000-plus, but four months later, customers can find ample supplies in stores while Wiis remain tough to come by.

"It's a strange sight. Nobody would have predicted that," says Dan Hsu, editor in chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine.

Sony counters that sales so far of the PS3, which launches in Europe this week, rival early sales of the Xbox 360 and PS2.

"I chuckle when you say we are in trouble because when you couldn't find them on shelves, some said we were in trouble," Sony Computer Entertainment's Dave Karraker says. "So we're damned if we do and damned if we don't."

The PS3's early stumbles - fewer than expected shipments, extensive updates needed for backward compatibility - caused some analysts to reconsider how the market might play out.

Billy Pidgeon of IDC in Framingham, Mass., expects the Wii to sell more than 16 million systems worldwide this year, compared with 10 million each for the PS3 and Xbox 360. "The PS3 is not breaking out of last place in market share any time soon, (but) I believe the PS3's momentum will increase in the second half of 2007."

More is at stake than just games. Sony and Hollywood studios backing the Blu-ray Disc high-definition movie format are hoping the PS3 will help it overcome the rival HD DVD format. PS3s are the lowest-priced Blu-ray players available.

Last fall, Microsoft released a $200 HD DVD add-on for the Xbox 360. Although Blu-ray Disc sales have risen since PS3's arrival, neither format has blossomed.

"The PS3 is pretty important (to Blu-ray's success)," says Tom Adams of Adams Media Research.

Forthcoming games such as "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" (due in September) and "Final Fantasy XIII" (December) could energize the core gaming audience, Hsu says.

"Once you get (them), you can get the mainstream audience from there," he says. "That's the way Sony did it with the PlayStation and PS2."

Well, damn. I have to admit, that's a good deal.

Jed · 03-23-2007, 02:12 PM

I was in town today and there are PS3s everywhere, nowhere sold out. Most shops were empty, maybe one or two customers. I played a demo unit and wasn't impressed, it's just a slighly different 360 (keep in mind that I only played two games for probably less than five minutes and I'm interested in games and possibly blu-ray, not all the other stuff). I've no idea how my own work got on with selling them but we didn't get very many extra consoles on top of our preorders so I guess most places would be the same.
