Sony currently has about 70 percent of the global market for game consoles.

$900 a unit? Yikes! I really enjoy the NCAA football game, it is really fun. I like to play the season mode and take a team from unranked to the top. The Tiger Woods golf is excellent as well.
$ 900 is steep! If the graphics are totally amazing I will probably get one.

Everybody I know, including myself has had read error problems with their PS2. Eventually you can't read any of your disks. I've had the same problems with lasers in all the Sony products I've bought in the past. They don't have a future in my house.

My PS2 has never had problems. I'm fairly loyal to Sony... and even more loyal to Metal Gear and Final Fantasy. I'll sit on my wallet for a few more months if need be.

There have been a lot of rumors about the PS3 being late going around. One of the more credible ones had to do with them having problems with the production yeilds of the processor. This could just be an excuse.

I bought a Sony DVD-R for my computer that tends to have read problems from time to time. Of course, I've had bad luck in general with CD/DVD drives.

Umm... I think so. But it got Katrina'd. Didn't work too well after that.

We got DRE (Disc Read Errors) on our old PS2 three times. We eventually got it fixed for free...but it broke again. So we had to buy the new slimmer version. Nowadays, I hardly play the PS2.
(glances at the Xbox 360) Say what you will about Microsoft...they made a tough console. I've had no problems with it (or the older Xbox for that matter). Their addition of the hard drive to a console was a stroke of genius. And Xbox Live is STILL better than anything Sony has to offer.

Sony Corp.'s launch of its next-generation PlayStation 3 video game console could be delayed Duh! I am not expecting the PS3 till Q1 or Q2 of 07.
I keep up with the gaming sites and they have been speculating this for months.
I also don't expect the Revolution till Q4 of 06.

I also don't expect the Revolution till Q4 of 06.Really? I hadn't heard that. That would be a major delay. I thought the Revolution was coming in Q2 of 06. And, although I had heard about the PS3's possible delay, Q1 0r Q2 of '07 is huge. Wow. Their Blu-ray must be screwed up.

Final FantasyFFX was one of the best games ever IMHO. I am looking forward to FFXII. GT4 was also right up there.
Why I get all three consoles:
Xbox - Halo, Fable, Perfect Dark, PGR-3, etc.
Game Cube - Zelda and Mario
Playstation - GT4, Final Fantasy, SSX, etc.
N-64 - Banjo Kazooie, Mario, Zelda, etc.

They say the slimmer version develops disk read errors even faster. Yeah, my xbox has never given me a problem and it's had three kids, four if you count me, drop it and spill things on it.

I am just speculating. I could easily be dead wrong.
(I sure hope so) I will get both as they come out.
I alrady have my 360, DS, PSP, Game Cube, PS2, and N-64.

Their addition of the hard drive to a console was a stroke of genius. And Xbox Live is STILL better than anything Sony has to offer.You got that right. There's nothing even remotely close to what Xbox Live has to offer at this moment. Thus, Sony is at a huge disadvantage here in the United States. However, Sony makes many rpg games that Asians love so that means Microsoft will probably never be able to gain a foothold in Asia.
But this round, it's likely that Microsoft may get up to 50% of the US Market.

Ive had 360 since day one.Love it.PS3 will be looking at the next gen XBOX by the time they finally release it.PS2 disc read error was infamous...but easy to fix.That was the only glaring flaw in their last model IMO
To: DrBombbay
Love the 360 also, here. My main gripe is game releases. Great console, but not enough games. I'm waiting for Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I have 360 and also PS2. Who needs therapy when one has SOCOM 3?
