The most disappointing thig, for me, is that I'm going to have to wait a massive amount of time before I get to play FFXIII. It's a shame.
I don't care how awesome the PS3 is, there's no way I would consider paying $500 for a console. Granted, I'm not a big console purchaser anyway (I waited until the PS2 had been out for two years before getting a used one for $120), but I certainly know what I think is reasonable. Sony bit off way more than they could chew with this. They're losing money on the console sales, even at the $500-600 price, and the high price is going to deter people from getting it, especially since the HD selling point only applies to people who have already shelled out money for HDTVs. If Blu-Ray fails, they're REALLY screwed.
And, come on, first Sony calls the Wii controller a gimmick and now they're poorly ripping it off? Stupid.
I really hope Nintendo is the one to pick up the pieces from Sony's fall and not Microsoft. I'd hate to see the XBox become the dominant console, but that's the way it's looking. On the other hand, if Sony can fall as far as I think they will between the PS2 and PS3, perhaps Nintendo can climb just as much
Wii'll just have to wait and see
(hehe, I had to)
