It’s a very good game.

Can’t say that I felt the need to move my 360 though… lol.

So was I, but then my Fallout 3 disc got damaged because I was stupid enough to move my 360 while playing it.

Insomnia is funny like that.

A 10 year lifespan is only going to happen if 1) sales rise instead of fall, as they recently did, and 2) The competition doesn’t release a competitively priced new format that detracts attention away from it. And lets not pretend that both Nintendo and Microsoft aren’t capable of that.

How exactly is it “futureproof”?

“I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that the PS3 is at the same amount of sales as the PS2 was at thsi point in it’s life.”

Whoever told you that is talking shit. The PS2 managed almost 40 million sales in its first two years, and within three years of its existence, it was selling more units in six months than the PS3 has in two years.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2664337.stm for just one valid resource to back that up.

Compared to the PS2, NEITHER the 360 or the PS3 are selling that well, and their COMBINED sales are about the same as the PS2 at this point in its life cycle. The PS2 already reached a sales saturation point, so the only thing the PS3 and 360 can do is “share” that section of the public.

The “bigger” market companies are aiming for doesn’t apply to the consoles; it applies to the games. The games are where the big money is at.

But they don’t seem to realise that the general public doesn’t really care; they’ve already got Wii Sports, Brain Training, and Wii Fit; and like it or not, the Wii is the format that is blowing ahead right now.

The 360 and the PS3 are just trying to play catch up.

At least for 2009 the PS3 seems to have a decent lineup of strong games for the core audience. It’s gonna be a hard year for Microsoft in my opinion, despite how well they have done up to now.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that the PS3 is at the same amount of sales as the PS2 was at thsi point in it’s life.

Oh for sure, but if the PS3 follows a similar sales curve then its sales will be miserable long before it makes it to its eighth year. With the Wii stalking around eating up all the casuals, the 360 costing next to nothing and picking up the hardcore and standalone blu-ray player prices now available for half the price of the PS3 it’s going to be hard for it to fight back.

Who knows, maybe they can pull out a big enough price cut to turn things around with.

And no, I can’t see the PS3 dying. It’s too good. The system itself, the games are catching, if not already caught up, with more to come. It isn’t going to die before it’s 10 years.

Gamoc: 10 year lifespan is only really viable when you’re the clear market leader. Customers decide how long your console survives and sells… it’s not just something you can say is going to happen. So obviously, time will tell on that one.

Even if it does, that doesn’t automatically equate to monster sales in the last of those 10 years. You can take the PS2 as an example. In the US it did around 3.5m in its 8th year. That compares to around 7m in its second year.

I, too, have never seen a PS2 that has died. I had one since launch day and only got rid of it when I traded it in for a 60gb PS3 (which then died a few months afterwards… oh the bitter fuckirony).
