...despite all the bad stuff we've been saying about it and how the 360 has basically owned everyone on here and in game mags.
There's a few reasons why:
- I've always seen Sony somehow come out of a console war a winner. This may be no different. A system gets huge momentum, and then they come in from the rear and just win it all.
- 2008 should be a "make it or break it" for the PS3 (there's that phrase again), but thankfully, they look like they'll make it. I'm suddenly wanting to try Heavenly Sword, I heard MGS4 will be PS3 exclusive for some time, FF13 is going to be awesome (I'm a Final Fantasy mark and SE has ALWAYS pushed Sony's consoles in what they can do), GTA4....dunno yet, and I'm curious to see how Killzone 2 will play out. The E3 trailer looked awesome. Everything looks like Sony has finally got some promising things for the PS3.
- I got a PSP and I'm looking forward to that whole connectivity factor, however it plays out.
- Somehow, every time I see a system like the 360 gain a ton of momentum (like the Genesis, N64, or the original XBox) during the beginning of a new war, it seems to fizzle out later on when someone else gets a key game or when someone finds out just what the other system can do. Once we all saw what the SNES could do that the Genesis couldn't, the SNES eventually won. the PSOne got the nod eventually because it was able to put out higher quality games (for its time), and somehow the PS2 got to be THE system (which is STILL selling hot). This may be a bad omen for the 360, or it may be a trend breaker (for all we know, the winning system could be the Wii). So I am reluctant of getting a 360 until I know it's going to be supported for the long haul.
- As far as I know, Sony's internet gaming service is free of charge (and hopefully it has and will remain that way).
So, you people think I'm going to take a huge risk here or do you think those are good reasons?
