View Full Version : Oh my gosh, PS3's are selling less than THAT?

PS3s are really the worst system, they aren't selling.
The PS1 is selling MORE THAN THEM!
It's really sad, how would you think they could improve this?
And DO NOT say new games.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the Sega Dreamcast is selling more than them too.

I dont know, PS1's are just plain better.True, very true, but you could play PS1/2 games on the PS3, can you not?

07 April 2007, 02:58 PM
Huh.. true.
See the problem is that what's the point of buying a PS3 if you have a PS1 AND PS2? Sure it'd be convenient, but the cost isnt'.

I might sell my PS2 to gamestop.

This is true.
I often think about getting a ps2 but it's not worth the cost. Yes i mean 2 not 3.

Even though the games for Play Station 1 aren't as high-tech as the PS3 games, the PS3 is just way to expensive for some families, a lot of people can't afford them that's why they aren't selling, on the other hand PS1's are way cheaper, and people can afford them. PS2's are getting their fame again too, their starting to drop to about $100-$80, so people are starting to buy those. GameCube's are also selling just a bit more, games are still in that category. It all just depends on what the consumer can afford, and wants to buy

Simple.
Wii > PS3.
Doesn't take a genius to figure that.

The PS3 is not selling for many reasons:
. Extrotionate price tag
. Lack of games to choose from
. The requirement of a HD TV for the console to even work.
Personally I'm going to stay with my PS2, although I may buy a Wii soon. I'm never even going to buy a PS3. Bad move by Sony.

The PS3's cost like $600 each and the PS1's are like so cheap now, well no wonder.

PS3 is expensive but it is the best system out right now. PS2 was $500 when it came out and PS1 was $100. It will probably go down by holiday season.

I would prefer buying games for my computer then going out and spending hundreds on a game system. I bought Grand Theft Auto III for my computer and it plays just as well as it did with PS2 plus if you can get a computer game controller it's almost exactly the same thing.

So very true. I just bought a PS2 on Monday because they are now within my budget limit. The reason the PS3s aren't selling is due to the outrages price. Not many people have that kind of cash lying around.

Because the PS3s suck.
They're too expensive, and a waste of money.
They don't even have any games that aren't 'super-violent'.

PS1 and 2 is way better

Come on you people have GOT to be joking me... The PS3 the reason it's so highly priced is because of all it's features... Heck the X-Box 360 is almost as much as the PS3 and you all are criticizing th play station?
And another thing the reason the PS2 and PS1 are selling more is because they are a good 4 to $500 cheaper! Plus their older. So before you start criticizing a new game system think about why it's OLDER systems are selling for less. And the games pwn all others for their older systems.

I cant afford a ps3 because they cost 1,370.79 USD in Thailand. But there is a place in the main city for 643.8099 USD but its too far -_-

It's probably because loads of people already have a PS2 and don't feel the need to get a PS3. But I'm just sticking to my PSP.

PS3 cant do anything worthwile that's new that the PS2 couldn't. Fact.

Well, many stores and other places do not have anymore PS3'S. As soon as it stocks, it just leaves.
The only other place to find a PS3 is over the internet. If you are lucky enough enough to even find someone on the internet selling them, the price will probably be even more than usual.

Here we go again! Ps3 isn't a waste of money. They have, but games with violence are way better from the other games
just because we could email ppl dosent mean it is cool
you just waste your mom's,dad's or your money to buy a dumb PS3
PS1 and 2 is way better
Yeah right. Ps3 is 10 times better than ps2 and the ps2 is 10 times better than the ps1.
thats cause wiis just better. Lower price, people are curious and wanna try the new way to play, its fun....PS3's plain ol expensive, and not that much fun! Sadly even 360 is better than ps3
Wii's graphics suck. Almost all wii's games suck (pokemon, mario) are those games???. Also you cant download demos, Movie traillers, even full games for the wii. Even Xbos360 is better than wii. Have you even tried to play ps3??
