I'm not interested until Tecmo shows Tecmo Bowl for the DS.

Its the final nail in the coffin is what it is, worst launch of a console ever. I'll give it credit though, its lasted longer than the dreamcast.

You think the PS3 is sinking? I keep on reading that their sales are ever increasing.

That's a bit of an extreme view.

Yeah their market share is growing steadily every day. 360 sales have actually declined somewhat in recent months.
I want to download Siren Blood Curse.

Sales aren't increasing due to it being a video game machine, its due to it being a blue ray player.

And I'm sorry but thats not the next generation of video game playing for me, a glorified blue ray player. Not interested at all. A video game console with dvd capability is nice, but its almost always going to be a gaming machine for me personally.

Then why are the sales being correlated to GTAIV and MGS4?

Maybe, but it has maybe 1/8 as many good games as the Dreamcast in less time.

Because people enjoy torturing theirselves waiting for a half hour update on top of another update to just wait to play their games?

The only person I know who owns a PS3 only bought it for the blue ray. He always buys multi-platform games for the 360 and the only game he owns for the PS3 is whatever the racing game is called that came with it.

It doesn;t matter to me, I own all the systems. Console loyalty is for suckers/poor people.

*shrugs* Its not about console loyalty, its about realizing what the gaming market is, and the ps3 fails when it comes to that. The playstation 2 was one of the best gaming consoles ever, what happened to that sony?
I enjoy the 360 and the Wii but I will never buy a ps3.

They are. I don't think the PS3 is going to die out or anything. But losing FFXIII as an exclusive title probably means the series isn't exclusive and that's a major reason people love the Playstation systems. It's still more popular in Japan and it's going to end up close here, eventually, but this is a big deal.
