As much as I hate to admit it, I think this sums it up nicely...

come on, the ps3 could be a box of lincoln logs and people would still buy it in droves...most potential buyers have no idea sony is having problems, and wouldn't really understand if you told them.

But they WON'T be buying it in droves, because they can't make enough CHIPS to CREATE droves of PRODUCT.

Again, you forget the price. That's going to cut down on sales.

What's the current word on 3rd party support for the system?

Most 3rd parties are making games for it but they're having trouble on it.

Okay. Quick question then.

Can anybody actually list what the system actually has working in it's favor? other than one or two games, I really haven't heard anything.

Sony thinks the first point is all they need though.

Square and Nintendo kissed and made up last round.
Not that FF games influence my decisions anymore. (note: not sarcasm)
It does look like Nippon Ichhi is sticking with sony, that may influence my decision, but not at 600.

They had downgraded the specs by E3, no surprise their downgrading again.
I have 1 friend who is convinced that Japan, at least, will buy it up like hotcakes reguardless of price, and that that will allow them to survive the generation if not dominate.

Japan alone could make the system a success but #1 worldwide? I severely doubt it.

Never know.

Though like I said, as long as there are spoiled suburban kids...the thing will sell.

Thats true but I still think human stupidity has some limit.

Mecha has anyone ever told you that you need to loosen up and not be so serious all the time?
