Why go with an inferior format?

VHS beat out Betamax despite inferior technology.
Stereo beat out binaural. Windows beat any stable system you can name. Dreamcast lost to everyone else. |

Is this another one of those stupid fucking things where you have to like read up 20 articles on Howstuffworks just to understand WHY it's different to normal DVD's and then spend $300 more on a player to buy it, all with the same end result?
'Cause it sounsd like it. |

That is a mixture of patronising and insulting at the same time. If the 360 wasn't so shit (as far as games go) I wouldnt buy the PS3 |

Ben Franklin coined the term Westinghoused, or something to that effect, marketing it based on the name of the people who were making electric chairs. Well, nobody wanted to be westinghoused, which not only pushed for AC, but also hurt Westing House's business. The superior technology doesn't win, the superior marketing wins. Microsoft and other HD supporters have a GREAT propaganda campaign going, not to mention the best piece of marketing on their side (Note I don't include Toshiba, as I'm yet to see them actually try to slur or slander Blu-Ray), because people will go for the familiar. Sony's running a PR campaign as well, but it's mostly on technical specs which common people aren't going to understand. Not to mention the fact that many of the differences are only noticable on higher end TVs (and large ones, too). Sony's marketing appears to be about on the level they did for UMD. Of course, the real loser is the consumer. Many people on this site are probably too young to remember the last proper format war, but you ended up with exclusives on both sides, stores which only stocked one or the other, and people didn't adopt either because of the hassle. BTW, the PS3 really doesn't have that good a library of exclusives right now, and if Blu Ray loses in the format wars, the BR format might not be cost-effective to continue mainstream manufacture. So if you're banking on its dominance still, I'd be cautious. Just remember, not everything that's "better" wins. I'd bet on HD taking the market, primarily because I think the average Joe will enjoy the price hundreds less than the Blu Ray (Toshiba's claiming they'll have models at a 300 or 400 price point by the Holidays) with cheaper movies, and it's still called DVD, which is going to make a pretty big difference in and of itself. Nobody wants to be westinghoused, john. |

I dont get many games for the (lets say) PS3 but the ones I do get I absolutley love, GTA, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Smackdown, Tony Hawks, Need For Speed. Most of them are out for 360 as well as PS3, but the two that are PS3 exclusive I could never drop. I couldnt drop the controller either (I love the playstation controller)
I understand that I am the loser here what with no rumble, huge price, etc. But I'm just gonna have to take losing in my stride if I want GT and MGS.. ![]() |

Almost everything else is coming out on both systems (Smackdown won't even be on the PS3 this time around), and I'm not so sure about MGS. So the only factor would be GT? Ummm...Yeah. Wow. |

Yeah, I'm kinda into it alot...
MGS is PS3 exclusive, I'm pretty sure of that, I'm not sure how long for though, and also, the PS3 will be still in full swing after 10 years after its release, which is handy, because in ten years I'll have a life and wont care as much at all. So I wont be buying any new consoles. |

MGS4 is enough for me to buy a PS3. I can't name one game that would justify me buying a 360 right now.
