What happened to Sony marketing of PS3??? - Blu-ray Forum

Chill out.

The PS3 is selling just as well as the Xbox360 in its first year after roll-out.

BD is not format on the losing end of the format war.

Panicky, negative posts so early in your post history will get loads of people jumping down your throat.

Patience.

Hey......I'm cool

It's just confusing with all of the hype, media, forums, etc. out there. I'm not trying to be negative.........I'm all blu and want the format to do well. It just seems to me the PS3 is such an amazing platform it would blow away all the competition. Plus, it's an amazing blu-ray player.

I did have one thought....I think they should have included the blu-ray video remote control in all of the PS3 packages (+ a free movie like they did with spiderman). This would have made it even more apparent this was much more than a gaming system.....hopefully, spurring blu-ray movie sales. I understand they need to make money as they are taking losses with the hardware right now. I just think this may have fired up the consumer a little more

It is horribly confusing and chaotic. I try to deal with it by sticking to what directly affects me. I've made my choice and bought my player, so the more than 90% of the hypothetical discussions on this forum have no direct impact on my HDM experience. I can't do the BDA's job and wouldn't have the faintest idea where to begin second-guessing them, especially since they seem to be in the catbird seat so far. I can't do anything about Toshiba. I can write letters to studios, which process I have begun...mostly, though, I figure my job is to buy & enjoy my movies and let others know what a satisfied customer I am. That's not too hard. Wish it paid more...

The PS3 is still in it's infancy, the list of games will grow and with Blu being the eventual winner the PS3 and Blu players will become the next revolution.

We are just all early developers.

Its the same as when PS2 came out.... not alot of games because the machine was hard to program for.... Blah, blah, blah...... Everyone said BOX was going to kill PS2 and what happened... PS2 went on to sell 114 million worldwide. Have patience those 114 million will be come to PS3 eventually.

Price was the issue. Just look at how well the $400 40GB PS3s are selling!

price is not the issue with me...quality is...the the red ring of death is the reason i havent gone with the 360. ps3 is the better overall package..the games will come in time...sony makes much better first party games ala GT5, god of war, killzone. now that bungie isnt tied down to MS anymore...maybe we will get a lil something from them too
