Okay, guys, if any of you are planning to get a PS3 at launch, this is important.
I was reading the new EGM that I recently got in the mail.
so listen to this.
PLAYSTATION 3's Last Gen Lesson
PS2 launch: October 26, 2000
number of games at launch: 29 (yes, 29.)
Average score by EGM: 7.1 out of 10
Good: PS2 launched with a whopping of 29 games at launch.
Bad: The PS2's launch was mostly filled with rushed out rubbish.
Why the PS3 would kick ass:
If Sony can manage to muster up as many games for the PS3 launch as it did for the PS2, it could at least give reluctant gamers a choice between the two next gen power houses. Plus, sweet looking exclusives like Resistance and Motor Storm are the kind of games that would make Xbox360 and Wii owners alittle jealous...(for me I dont give a crap about Resistance or Motor Storm) But even if the games dont manage to impress, the packed in blu-ray player will at least make next gen dvds look $600 good.
Why the PS3 would suck balls:
Shortages. Very limited. Europe launch delayed 'til March 2007. definetly not a good sign for Sony. Only 400,000 units and that is 100,000 less than the PS2's launch. Most of the PS3 launch titles would also go to Xbox360 so it's not like you would be missing out much if you already own an Xbox360. (I told you so.)
Most anticapted PS3 title:
Resistance : Fall of Man
Less anticapted PS3 title: Need for Speed : Carbon (already coming to Xbox360 as well)
So...what's a good reason to buy a PS3, really? I dont see any at all.
