PS3, future of gaming? Ha ha ha...
Let's take a moment to review what we know about the PS3 so far:
Most obvious, most disgruntling, and most harmful to business for Sony - $600 price point. WTF?
Well, of course there's the two price points. Curious, as the 360 used this, and waves of Sony fanboys cried, "That's so stupid! What a dumb idea! Two price points?!"
What do you get for the half thousand dollar version? Nothing, when compared to the $600 system. Has Sony left you with an option to ugrade your $500 to get it to be just like a $600 somewhere down the road? No, because you can't add hardware to your system. You probably shouldn't have bought the $300 360, and you sure as hell won't want to buy the $500 Playstation.
Now, let's take a look at the contoller. First, they show off their boomerang. Gamers scream in protest (rightfully so, mind you). Sony understands.
They reveal their new controller.
WTF? Why are you showing me a shiny new PS2 controller?
"Oh, but look! It has some motion sensing abilities. Not complete, but some of it is there!"
So far, you've got the two price points, and the half-assed motion sensor controller. I'm beginning to sense a pattern.
The games aren't looking so hot either. Anybody have a decent launch title they're excited to get?
Anybody even have a launch title?
They've lost GTA exclusivity, and a game that looks to actually be decent (Assassin's Creed) may just lose it's exclusivity as well.
Online play. Obviously, Sony's going to have to step it up. In what way?
Well, they've already stolen the two-tiered price points and the motion-sensing controller. I think we can expect an Xbox Live rip-off, so be prepared. They have no decent, exclusive games to speak of (except, to be fair, the Final Fantasy game), and their price point is through the roof.
I tell ya', if the PS3 is the future of gaming, than the future is a damn dark place indeed...
