You are right VGC, who would want to play a Sony Video Game System? I mean, I guess the fact that they sold like 200 Million units in the last 10 years means NOTHING. Nobody wants to play those crappy systems.

Before anyone brings up Blu-ray again, just remember, the porn industry hasn't picked if they are gonna do Blu-ray or HDDVD. If the porn industry picks HDDVD, Blu-ray is toast (See BETA). If anyone thinks that comment is out of line or just wrong, just remember the porn industry dwarfs Hollywood in DVD sales and rentals. It's decision will make one media obsolete.

I just had to comment on this... More than likely... if trends continue as they are in the pornography industry they will pick... neither! Many pornography companies are distributing their content on PPV/On Demand sites on the internet. Most companies aren't picking either because its likely that porno is going to go completely digital. I have an 'inside' source on this one so don't be surprised if Porno craps on both mediums.

I believe you Quill! I heard that the porn idustry has stalled on picking a medium for one reason or another, but one of the main reasons is that they don't want their porn stars to be that crystal clear. LOL. Many of the better performers are older... and most aren't knockouts to begin with. A little haziness can help hide hair, moles, wrinkles, C-section scars, etc.

Well gee, Shawn, Nintendo has sold around 240+million systems(handhelds included) and you seem to think they're crap so what's wrong with somebody turning the tables a bit? It's funny how you can dish it out at every opportunity but can't take even the slightest jab at your system. Dave may have said that wrong, people may want the system but who has $600 to pull out of their butts? As I have said, I don't plan on "mowing more lawns" to buy a video game system for double the price of the competition! The games that I really want for PS3 just so happen to be coming out for the 360....also, I'm not counting on Metal Gear Solid 4 to be a Sony exclusive forever so what's the point? All you are investing in is a brand name! Also, the same thing that happened with Nintendo will inevitably happen to Sony....they'll make a stupid move, lose their third parties to the competition(most likely Microsoft....sorry, Nintendo fans, but it just is not going to happen for them) and have to rely on their first party companies to produce the bulk of their library. It's not me slamming Sony, it's the truth. It happened to Atari, it happened to Sega, it's been happening to Nintendo for the past two generations! Sony is really not doing anything better than the other greats in gaming already did. They started off as the underdog(just as Nintendo, Atari, and Sega once did), they became the undisputed leader(Atari, Nintendo), cockiness set in(Sega, Nintendo, Atari, and pretty much any company that held the top spot) and now this may be the moment they slide. Trust me, Shawn, I'm not licking my lips, anticipating that to happen...I could care less. Though I would love for some of Sony's most diehard fans to shut up already. You see, unlike Nintendo freaks who know the company made mistakes and still does and will most likely never see the top again, most Sony fans I know treat it like some stupid war to end all wars.
So what if Dave made a truthful observation about the ps3. Dave wasn't slamming the quality of the software(it's there...it's just not for me). $600 is a good price for a computer, it's a fair mortgage payment, it's just not a good price for a mainstream video game system...regardless of how many bells and whistles it has. Face up to the facts, Sony's arrogance is going to unseat them eventually.

The problem is that it's been decided for them. Sony has said "No" to any porn developers. As they own Bluray and must license it, they can legally enforce that.
"...Dave Karraker, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, said the Wii did not belong in the same category as the more powerful PlayStation 3. �Wii could be considered an impulse buy more than anything else,� he declared."

I have to agree. The PS3 should definitely not be lumped into the category of "consoles people actually want to buy".

If that's true they might have built the noose they will hang from.
I also agree with Superjay. There are a few PS3 games on the horizon that look amazing. This lanch was weak, the price is too high, and Blu-ray is a gamble, but in two years I think we will all be talking about our favorite PS3 games.
