@damon53:
Does the 360 REALLY need a price cut in M$ eyes? They have a system that is STILL selling relatively well with all the bad PR they get about the RRoD. The purpose of a price cut is to move stagnent system sales and to jump start interest in a system. Until the 360 hits that glass wall I wouldn't be suprised if they don't cut the price.

Would the consumer love a drop...of course...but until business demands it...it ain't happening.

@MassiveDamage: I agree, it has been said by major nelson on G4, that wireless tech is constantly being upgraded, so by offering an add-on wireless device, they are not forcing a standard that could become obsolete, also I like the option of not paying more for an option I dont need, however, I do take issue with their pricing, having it cost almost 1/3 the price of the Wii, (which has built-in wi-fi) is a little insane......

@MassiveDamage: glad youre one of those who know HDMI cables can be had for like $10 on ebay, but in the same vein, bluetooth headsets are not nearly that price; the jabra 125 (same model coming with Warhawk) is $20-30 on ebay, tops.

MassiveDamage — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 00:52:35 MDT

I just dont understand why the argument is even still around, but as others have said, you can't beat a fanboy.

Why would any corporation in their right mind include a feature (BluRay/HDDVD) of which neither has proven to be "better" than the other. I would like to see numbers of people who actually own the PS3 as just a BluRay player and watch movies in 1080p on a 1080p Television. I have absolutely no need for a Next-Gen DVD player, as my LCD is 720p, and I can download movies in 720p, and I'm sure most people who have bought the ps3 are quite upset with themselves when they realize that they aren't getting the "best" picture quality because their TV isn't 1080p.

Wireless? Don't need it. I would, as most people can agree, rely on a wired connection to avoid problems with lag/dropping games.

Bluetooth Headset? Hmm. Let's give people who buy the ps3 a choice on what headset they buy. Kinda. My Motorola H300 lost it's compatibilty with the last ps3 update. My 360 came with a standardized headset that I don't have to worry about not just simply working when I plug it in.

One last thing, you forgot to mention these essentialls that you need when you buy the ps3:

Bluetooth Headset - $75-100
HDMI Cable - $15-150 depending on how big of a retard you are.

Don't ban me for this please, I just read through this and I'm kinda groggy from some Benadryl and a horrible movie with "The Rock" in it so I had to get this off my chest!

Why is everyone saying that 360 has no good looking games in 08? I bet come X07/TGS they'll change their tune. As of now, we have confirmation of Too Human, Fable 2, Age of Conan, Dark Messiah Elements, Postal 3, and others in 08, with tons of other games rumored (Gears of War 2, Dead Rising 2, etc.) Add that to the astronomical amount of exclusives this year, and you'll be playing late into 08 anyway.

Either way, with games like Turok, Fracture, Star Wars Force Unleashed, and others being multiplatform, everyone wins.

Wait something is wrong with you guys. But Sony showed most of the third party games that micro showed and they are all comming out the same time. Then micro only can look to Halo 3, while Sony can look towards Unreal Tournament 3, unchartered island: drakes fortune, Rachet and Clank, Warhawk, folkore, etc.Hold on man kotaku better not be undermining Sony. Thats a lot of fracking games that they have coming this holiday. I think it is wise that Sony has there next showing soon.

What about the 146% DRE rate of the PS2?

I wonder how many more they would sell if they didn't have the 3 red lights problem, obviously it's the console with the best game catalog now, and not the one with just potential like ps3 and wii... i don't know, i see them trying and trying but they just won't make it this time either.

FlapjacksAreTasty — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:52:21 MDT

I understand why Sony (and their fans) felt the need to 'win' E3 this year, since they took such a drubbing over last year's presentation. And frankly, they learned from last time and put on a good show. But It didn't make me want a PS3. There's plenty of time between now and 2008 if I change my mind.

I don't have a 360, but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want one after seeing the Holiday lineup from Microsoft.

I have a Wii and barely paid attention to the Nintendo conference at all.

It's ironic, because I think PS3 actually has more games I'm interested in for Christmas. Haze, Unreal, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Warhawk, Ratchet and Clank are just some of them. X360 has Halo and Mass Effect.

@NotSoCool: Cause you know, Sony has tons of exclusives coming in 08! Anyway, now you're just trying to be a douche. I could easily do that to the PS3 games. Final Fantasy XIII, we already have 12 of those, why wait for another one. Metal Gear Solid, now you're playing as some 70 year old guy. Killzone 2, the first game sucked. Now, are any of those things I said about those games even slightly intelligent? No. But that's exactly what you're doing.

Don't stop there... They make me pay $50 a year for an excellent unmatched online service that extends the life of my games with a fully realized community that actually works!! The nerves.

To make matters even worse and speaking of games, they have the nerve to give me a game library of hardcore and casual with more titles than any other system.

As you so eloquently pointed out, they're beasts for actually giving me a choice of what I want in my console. Don't they know? We all want wi-fi and we all want Bluray and we all want to pay $600.. opps! I meant $500 while supplies last.

My June '06 360 has never bricked. I had many PS2's go DRE on me but I always bought more (30 day then 90 day warranty after class action suit). Why? Because of the games.

At least with a 3 year warranty, regardless of what may come, I'll have a 360 I can play games on in 2009 without having to buy another one.

Of course Moore is biased, he's paid to be, but I like his style here. No really blatant overselling like tattoos.

His point about "potential-vaporware" (for lack of a better term) is good. (Or just stuff that isn't far enough along to say anything of substance about.) The focus on things that we can expect to see soon is excellent. It shows a confidence in the products that no amount of marketing hype-crap can touch.

@SovMish: Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a bummer to get RRoD. I've had one and got my system back in a week. If you've waited an entire month for one you definitely have my sympathy and you should bitch at MS to get some kind of compensation for that, like MS points or something.

@SovMish: Which is exactly my point. I think it was Kotaku who posted the article on the poor bastard who was on his 12th 360. Now that is an extreme, but I don't take kindly to having to send my system in more than once (twice and my case and its broken yet again) to be fixed when I got a hot game on the bed waiting for me to play it (excuse the innuendo).

Meh, smart man. I completely agree and give in to the fact that Sony should focus on whats coming now. They are kind of saying "look towards 2008, now its all shit" they even did that starting 2005.

But though he describes the way it should be very well, their present games was not much exciting I think.

@Toasticus:

I love that confidence going into the Xbox's golden holiday. "Hey my 360 is dead just as I bought all of these games. Oh well I'll just patiently wait for a replacement while everyone I know is playing Halo 3."

This has happened to me several times now and I for one know how frustrating it is to have a dead 360 just after buying the game you've been eagerly waiting for.

What about fixing the system? Or at least announce that you've found a solution?

I mean I'll buy 3rd party games for the PS3 like AC and GTA4 just for the simple fact that I know the PS3 won't brick. It'll be a shame to read about how many frustrated gamers will be without their 360's this holiday after it's bricked. Especially after they've invested in Halo 3, Mass Effect and Bioshock.

"The health of the industry which is the bigger question, I think is strong. We've got three consoles which are all in market and performing. I've been in this industry long enough to know that that normally would not have been the case, and I think that we've all laid down our markets and thought about who we are and what we stand for, pricing, game content of what we think of the future and connected entertainment. I feel that we are in a great position. I feel very bullish not only for us, but for the industry as a whole." -Peter Moore

360 may deliver for the holiday, but they have absolutely nothing for 2008... off the top of my head, I can only think of Fable 2 and Halo Wars.
Now Sony will have most of the games for the holidays since they're all 3rd party multiplatform, but they have an amazing line up for 2008, no one can argue against that. Just my take on things.

No_Style — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:43:21 MDT

To me, E3 is about forward looking 3 - 12 months OR basically til the next E3. It has always been like that. You show something new, not showcase a library of games which we look forward to, but already seen.

Not to say that they did not do a good job, but a little bit more tidbits (instead of only RE5) about Q1 and Q2 of 2008 would have been very nice.

@Veltis: What did he do to show highlights of the Sony system? He used Sony propaganda(that stupid fact sheet they put out) to try and undermine the 360 in a article about the 360. Seriously, would you commend me or anyone else for going into a Sony article and making fun of Sony while praising the 360? No, you wouldn't. The Ps3 has some amazing features, but they speak for themselves, no need to try and downplay the 360 to promote your machine of choice. Besides, it's called knowing when and where to mention things. It's almost as dumb as someone asking about the new Pokemon game at a relatives funeral.

And then I realized it's because I'm a regular Kotaku-ite, and it suddenly occured to me that I probably wasn't the focus audience for this show. This is for the retailers and journalists who need to know what's coming round the bend.

Grael4 — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:33:29 MDT

@Cell9song: Because its MS, I think we all remember Windows Me, a prime example of not fixing an inherent problem. I would hope they would since I would like to play my 360 with some of these hot games coming out, but based on the fact that Elites which are new systems rolling out have the exact same problems I doubt it.

@justhesh: Warranties are to fix problems after a problem has occurred not before. The number is an estimate based on consumer complaints, and various online polls. May not be accurate but given that MS refuses to disclose the failure rate, its all everyone has to go on who want to see MS fix the problem well before the 360 reaches the consumer.

Well, Moore's certainly right about MS being focused on the present, so I'll finally be breaking down and buying a 360 in anticipation of the games coming out before year's end. That new extended warranty is a significant factor in that as well. Hopefully by '08 or '09 Sony will have a price/value/library matchup that justifies my picking up the PS3, but I can wait.

What's funny is had the 360 included all that to begin with you know they'd bitch about the $600 price tag.. You just can't win with fanboys.. Also that list of things is assuming you buy your stuff from Bestbuy or something.. You can get the 360 for about $400, get a D-Link WiFi for about $30-$40, You can find the HD-DVD drive for around $169 at most Walmarts.. So it comes out to around $600.

@Grael4:

Not to defend them but think about it....if they plan on extending the warranty another 3 years wheres the benefit for them to NOT address the problem properly? I have no doubt that the systemes rolling off the line right now aren't going to be using the same exact motherboard config as the ones that are failing. It would lose them PR and it would just cost them in the long run.

Whatever your opinion on MS, their gaming division has always been a cut above the rest of the industry IMO and didn't become successful by doing things in a half-assed manner.

I like how he tried to say how E3 was supposed to be. I guess this means E3 is about the Holidays, because Peter Moore said so. But he's right, the Holidays are lost at E3. Not because of showmanship, but rather, the fact that everyone looks to the future EVER YEAR @ E3.

The shiny object remark probably wasn't the smartest thing to say, regardless of bias. Try not to draw attention to that whopping 3-year warranty that doesn't technically fix the 30-33% rumored failure rate.

Excellent Interview. Ask questions that can be answered and let him say what he had to say. It was good to focus on this holiday, because 2008 for PS3 is what 07 is for the 360. Spend time on what is coming out today and let gamers know they have a choice THIS holiday season and don't need to weight on so many unknowns NEXT year.

@NotSoCool: you said they dont have any games for 2008 when they obviously do. Whether or not they are any good has yet to be seen. Also Banjo Kazooie was a great game. If the next one is even half as good as the first one then i'll buy it.

"Who do you think has a better console?"

I can't believe I have to explain this again in to another Sony fanboy. Who cares about the system itself. It's about the games. Period. I have no allegience to two corporate giant's (i.e. Sony and Microsoft), and good competition breeds better games. And we all want better games don't we?

That said, right now I have a Xbox 360 and a Wii. When the games I actually want start appearing on the PS3 I'll probably get one. Killzone looks good, we'll see how it plays, MGS4 loos great and little big world sounds cool, but none of those are out now. Until then I don't need a blu-ray player taking up space.

And for the record I had all 3 systems last generation. 4 if you count the Dreamcast.

@raison: An RTS on the consoles, Alan Wake is also coming out on Windows Vista, Banjo Kazooie... Are you kidding me? That's like Sony saying "Forget Halo 3, we have EchoChrome!" Too Human, by the way, hasn't gotten the best buzz.. Looking an Nintendo and Sony.. They pwn Microsoft in 2008. Now, 2007 is Microsofts'.

I'm not going away anytime soon, tho. I want 2007, 2008 and 2009... I'm also looking at 2010. So, I want it all.

@raison:

I too am starting to get bored waiting for games that won't be available for years.

At first I didn't like how they showed nothing new. But then I started thinking. How long have I been waiting for Mass Effect? Spore? Bioshock? Metal Gear?. Long enough that I really can't remember. Then you start to realize that Peter talking about games that are getting released THIS year, instead of years from now, is actually a breath a fresh air. Well..I thought so, after a while anyway.

No he didn't I know dude did not just say:

"Pointing at a shiny object over there, to take your attention off of any deficiency over here."

Yet you throw the shiny object of a 3 year warranty at a inherent defect causing over a 30% failure rate, yet do not fix the inherent defect that is causing the problem? I need to take my twice repaired still broken 360 and throw it at this guy, for that statement.

Toasticus — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 14:51:17 MDT

@NotSoCool: That's a fairly valid point. MS doesn't seem to have too many exclusives lined up for 2008. If they really are trying to distract us from deficiencies in 2008 then his line about pointing to something shiny to distract people is pretty hypocritical.

Then again, once all these exclusives are out the door the developers are going to move on to make their next big badass games. It could just be that 2008 will be a lull after a great 2007 holiday season.

Some interesting commentary, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo offered some solid games that are "here and now" as well, what with Metroid Prime coming out next month, and Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. coming out before the end of the year.

I do like the one reason he gave about not showing 2008-2009 games, to not make developers worry about showing off a product that isn't coming anytime soon, and keeping them from showing it in its unfinished form...

You certainly can't fault Microsoft for being on-message. Their press conference was all about games this holiday, his response here was about games this holiday, and there's even a few not-so-subtle digs at the "Ooh, shiny things in the future" towards Sony and to a lesser extent Nintendo.

Of course, Microsoft was doing the "Ooh, shiny" thing last year.
