The Stupid Gamer

$600. Massive Damage. Giant Enemy Crabs. Riiiiiiii-iiiidge Racerrrrr. 4D Gaming. Paying for Potential. Pre-Rendered Trailers. This is Living.

The PlayStation 3 is releasing November 17th of this year and it seems that Sony is doing everything possible to screw it up. Analysts, investors, and anti-Sony fanboys are feasting on what seems to be a constant stream of negative Sony news and using it to predict doom for gaming’s most dominant player. The truth, however, is that Sony is probably going to still going to be the market leader by the end of the PS3/360/Wii lifecycle. Why? It’s simple, really. Sony still has the best 3rd party support and the biggest names in gaming will be making appearances on the PlayStation 3 in a big way.

We can whine and moan all we want about the PS3 price, but in the end we as gamers eventually will go where the best software is. If you want to play Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, and many other big 3rd party party franchises, you’ll need to own a PlayStation 3.

Sexy, powerful, and running with an “exclusive” crowd.I’ve tried to rationalize with myself that I can wait a few years to buy a PlayStation 3, but the more I look at the lineup the system is sporting; I think it’s going to be harder to hold off buying one than to drop $600.So, where will you be November 16th? Will you be out in the cold waiting in line? I think I probably will be.
