PS3 will be the last console Sony ever made?

Doubtful, seeing as Sony's already mentioned the PS4. The only way this will happen is if Sony goes completely belly up and get's raped by a clown this console generation.

The jak and daxter and crash bandicoot, and the ratchet and clanks and all that stuff.

Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto can be found on your Xbox (360) consoles as well.

Killzone was a FAILURE with the PS2 and PSP. I don't think the one for the PS3 will be any better.

Final Fantasy is not owned by Sony. Square-Enix have been releasing a bunch of games for Nintendo lately (Dawn of Souls, IV Advance, V Advance, III DS, Crystal Chonicles, and games are still on the way like Crystal Choncles II, VI Advance, and XII DS)

Socom is also on the 360.

Jak and Daxter and Crash and Ratchet haven't been selling Playstations. In fact I can't remember when Crash came out with a GOOD new game neither can I Jak and aren't they done with Ratchet?

Gran Turismo is not out for anything other than Sony consoles, neither is Socom.

Indeed, they are Sony exclusives.

And Killzone is not a failure

Yeah if they crash and burn from the failings of PS3 and i can see logically them taking a break for a while cause to be honest Microsoft and Sony are getting into the position were instead of making more money they will be losing more money through consoles.

Umm..it's kind of difficult to take one's statement seriously - when the main source of their opinion -- is taken from a message board...He..He..he..

If that is not a sign for success, I don't know what is.

Heh... you're joking right?

Actually, it means absolutely nothing at all.

Why don't you take a look at the number of systems that were available at launch, how many each store got, how many people who reserved in advance that still don't have their system, etc.

It sold out because the number available was ridiculously small.

lana's right...the amount of ps3 beng shipped is so small, theres probably only 1-2 per store, if even that..

A lot of stores got none at all.

My store lucked out and unexpectedly got a second shipment, so all of our reserves were finally covered.

Heck, the Sony store in Ottawa only got 4.

I fail to see how PS2 is inferior to GC..

Xbox sure... since most of their games come out anti-aliased with all kinds of nice normal / bit mapping...

but gamecube?... the only titles that I can think to showcase gamecubes power are the RE1 remake and RE4.. and its not really something PS2 couldnt do as well

so can you indulge me on how PS2 < GC ?

+ God ****ing rocks.

Hardware doesn't mean much. The Xbox's hardware is more advanced than the ps2 but the ps2 has better looking games like god of ware Final fantasy xii and VP2.

So technically the PS2 is greater than both GC and Xbox due to far superior programming which utilizes the console. Also the PS2 is still making games ware as the xbox has pretty much given up and put all focus on the 360.

As for the Final Fantasy The main branch of the games will only be on sony, the remakes of the original FF games will go to Nintendo because they still have the rights because they were released on Nintendo in the first place, and they will also get crystal chronicles which suck. Xbox will get the online final fantasy's and that’s about it, but they will get the square dropouts that formed mistwalker ran by the man who created the failure that was and is Final Fantasy spirits within.

GC's hardware was more powerful than the PS2.

And the RE4 port to the PS2 very much shows this to be a fact.

Any time you port a game from one console to another it always looks better on the console the game was designed for, unless they reprogram it which they never do.

Perfect example would be Oblivion for the PS3 look much worse than Oblivion for the 360 that has nothing to do with hardware its all in the software. That is because they just took an xbox game a forced it to play on a ps3 which never turns out good results. If they released God of War on the GC it wouldn't look as good as the PS2 original. Unless they put time and effort into porting over the games it will always look like crap.

So even though both xbox and Gcube have better hardware the ps2 still has better looking games and will keep on spiting out better looking games for the next 2 years with inferior hardware thanks to good programming. Software is always more important than hardware.

I'll have to disagree on that one, to a point, because you can't have the software unless you have the hardware to begin with.

Also, Oblivion was designed with PCs in mind, the 360 version is a port. So that kinda messes up your theory, Dirk.

Though I have to say that it's not so much the power of the hardware, but what you do with it. The PS3 is, technically, the most powerful, but the 360 has better looking games because the developers are using the 360's power in better ways. Same thing happened occasionally with the PS2.

What your trying to say is not totally correct, basically you can only do what the hardware can allow you to do. Take a Computer for example, if a game or software requires you to have at least 1GB RAM and you only have 256, then you basically wont run that app because the software requires it to have minimum 1GB.
