"dont have as many developers as sony, and both lacked in certain genres last-gen compared to Sony. Thats why sony 'won' with ps2. It looks like little has changed. Nintendo will make youth-oriented games, MS will make PC-like games (racing, FPS) and Sony will have everything else on lockdown. People who buy Sony consoles do it for the GAMES. Not because "oooh theyre available right now!!11!" Dreamcast was out before Ps2 and look at what happened to it. "

It amazes me that everyone puts the blame on dreamcast comming out first for its falires. The reason Dreamcast flopped was becuase Sega ran out of money to support the system also they lacked developer support. All becuase the PS2 had a built in DVD player, the next gen of media format, at the time. The PS2 was bought becuase people assumed they could play DVD movies on thier console right out of the box at half the price of a normal DVD player. They were right...you could play DVD movies on your PS2 and people just forgot about dreamcast and its CD-ROM tech. Fastforward to the now. Xbox 360 launches first with PS3 holding the blu-ray card. No I aggree with you that ps2 won, but I dissagree that it was for games. The PS2 has a vast library of games, but let me ask you this...what is the percentage of good games. Sure any system could have a library of crap games, dosen't make the system better.

The PS3 will rock! indeed, but that's if Sony can live up to the videos they showed at E3 2005. Do you know many people are still waiting for Toy Story like graphics for the PS2...yah...unlikely. My point, as a sony supporter you should see that backing sony in this fight is pointless because each system has its faults. The 360 does not require the HDD for every game, that's bad considering how much could be done with the extra memory. The rev and ps3 aren't out yet so it isn't fair to make an assumption of how they will turn out..but I can say that the ps3 might not have an advantage over nintendo...why i say this....Nintendo annouced that the Revolution will have a DVD add on that could be purchesed seprately and slide into the system (Iwata-san 2005 e3 keynote and GDC 2005 keynote) Reggie FA said that nintendo was expirementing with blue laser disc technology for revolution back at e3 2005...so what? Well they what here is waht if the rev cost 199 and the HD-DVD add on would cost 100 dollars. That means the rev would be able to play hd-dvd making buying a Ps3 somewhat useless. I am just saying man..calm down...there are no playable builds of any PS3 game, no ps3 system to be found (former sony employee) and spring is almost here....its a shame...some people are still waiting for the emotion enigine.

Even though sony is the video gaming force that it is the PS3 could still fail that's what people are not getting. It seems unlikely but it could still happen
NOT wishful thinking but who would have thought the dreamcast would fail? And it failed in Japan of all places and sega was there video game god over there the Sega saturn did much better than the PS one. They sold more saturns over there than they did playstations. Its still is posible.
