PS3 can't do backwards compatibility well.

[Archem]

Dude, calm down. Nobody's flaming (yet...), just pointing out that not that many people care. As for my "hating" response, that's because whenever the PS3 comes up in a conversation, you never mention its pros, only its cons. You've just been too convinced that Sony's not as good as you once thought. Mebe next time I convert you to something, I'll try to remind you of all the good things that remain after the fandom.

I know that the PS3 has unparalleled power and can do many things that other systems can't.. But we don't need that kind of strength this gen. Look at the Xbox360 and the Wii, they look pretty good and both use regular DVDs. The Xbox360 actually has better graphical potential then the PS3, and the Wii is just a bit stronger then the Xbox, and you've seen how good it looks.

Also, Sony has had a *VERY* arrogant stance against the other two consoles. For example, they called Xbox360 "Xbox 1.5" and they claimed that the Wii doesn't have backwards compatibility. (Even though the Wii has masterfully complete backwards compatibility)

The thing is, we don't need blu-ray ot the cell processor, we don't need to have a frankenconsole that can do anything, we don't need all of that extra eye-candy. Sure it is sweet, but is that all there is to it?

That is why I usually seem to have an anti-Sony stance.. It just isn't worthwhile to have such power when it can't even be used to it's fullest potential yet.

If you want me to delve further in this topic and fully explain to you each and every fallacy that Sony has made, then by all means, I will do so. But this is where I stand, and I won't tolerate how you people seem to be so very ignorant of the world around you.

Honestly, if a guy that's generally on the same side of the argument as you is disagreeing with you, you must be doing something wrong. I suggest letting it go, this isn't really a battle that you can win. Especially since you're misinterpreting what's been said. Hence the bolding.

I didn't flame ignorantly, I flamed because you brought up a stupid topic. First off, you are (or at least were) a fanboy to Nintendo, thus leading me to believe that this was made to show a superiority complex. Secondly, console wars are, or should be, over. Third, there was already something on here about backwards compatibility, and that is thankfully long over.

Before you protest against your clear bias, who is it that made the "Sony's bad move of the month" thread? Who was it that made a huge contrabution to the PS3 prices on ebay thread? Who is it that was behind, or in, every DS VS PSP debate?

People that make video games seem like real life need to get a life. You make such a big deal about a toy.

Nintendo > Your mother. That's about as much as I'll say ever.

[Osmose]

This is why it's a lot easier to just admit being biased and judgmental.

Until the PS3 drops in price it's not worth it. $600 is too much for something that just plays games. And yes, I will keep mentioning the price, because the price IS STILL FREAKING RIDICULOUS. Sure, besides that it has a lot going for it, but the price isn't going away, so the PS3 isn't going to stop sucking just because you choose to selectively peal away its flaws from the argument until it's a perfect little box of a console.

You're NOT a girl?

PS3 isn't going to drop in price. You have to get it now before Sony goes out of business.

[Darkfox]

There will always be eBay XD I'm going to try getting a NEC TurboGrafx system on it ^_^ XD

Next gen can wait for me. I'm a collector of the old, not the new. Anyways, there is still alot I intend to play that isn't new. Then again I did get Devil Summoner... thats contradictive... >_<

Ok, I collect, period.

I for one didn't notice too much of a difference, especially in the animated parts (FFX intro), though I didn't watch much past there.  However, that could be due to my never wearing my glasses.

Also, backwards compatibility issues have popped up before.  For example, the DS doesn't play anything GameBoywise older than GBA games, and those can't even be played as multiplayer games.

Enjoy the fact that you can actually play the older games on it.  Besides, most people buying PS3s will have PS2s (unofficial guess, so sue me >_> ).

And no, I have no bias towards any company.  My Sega Genesis, Gamecube, and PS2 sit comfortably beside each other, and none are trying to kill eachother.  Yes, I know Sega =/= Microsoft.

I wasn't directing it toward you, I was directing it toward the general populace.  :p

Sure I've made some.. mistakes in the past, but then again, I have seen enough Sony BS and such to know when they're clearly going to fail. There may be some miraculous catchup like with the Gamecube, but you have to remember, would you be willing to buy an Expensive console directed to 'hardcore gamers' (PS3), a moderately priced console meant for 'casual gamers' (Xbox360), or an inexpensive console with games for everyone (Wii)?

You may not agree with me, but It seems quite clear that this forum is somewhat biased towards Sony...

Osmose has the right idea.

But you know RotD, that if they did fight, your Genesis would win simply due to its pure Sega-ness?

I dunno, even Sonic's siding with the big N nowadays...
