A PS3 is not great value for money.
I beg to differ, I just got a PS3 slim and 2 game from the black friday bundle for $200
Not to mention the fact that the "Move" is just a late through in so they could compare to the Wii.
I guess your another person who think sony steals everything from nintendo and the move copies the wii
fact is, tech demo video's from 2003 show a colored ball on a stick being tracked by the ps2 eyetoy along with various ways you can use it to interact with a game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zin-gK6NEIY , its basically what the move is today
they might have been a little late to the market though that was probably because the eyetoy didnt sell that well, the way the wii sold may have pushed it to production but we will never know, they could have been developing this for years now for all we know
Not to mention the fact that it was built without value for money, as even the extortionate price of a PS3 does not cover how much it cost to build a unit.
and yet somehow they are making money on each system sold
lower costs to manufacturer over time
that was their plan, sell it at a loss now and push software sales, sell it for profit later on
Not to mention the fact that the controllers are boring and the same as the PS2's.
why fix something that isnt broke?
they tried to change the controller, but the public backlashed against it, so blame them if anything
Not to mention the fact the Blu-Ray player was only there to push Blu-Ray to win the new HD disc format.
not really, 25GB data storage (dual layer 50GB disc was very useful for MGS4), not having to deal with multiple discs like LA noire which is 3-4 discs on the 360 and 1 on PS3, FFXIII 3 dics and only 1 on PS3
the hd wars was won simply because a few very big film companies started backing off HD-DVD, then basically a domino effect happened, every company backed off and went to blu-ray, it was just about studio backing
the ps3 was not the reason, it did help put blu-ray players into homes where the players were almost a $1000 at the time
Not to mention the fact that it's security is as secure as a pair of dogs bollocks in a park.
I will admit it was true, a lapse in programming cost them big
however the system has been resecured again with a simple firmware update
the system did last the longest without being hacked (almost 4 years) where as the other 2 were hacked almost out the door
