I'll be interested in a PS3 when it'll be 200$.

 

[dino1980]

Cant see this at all happening.

- Ps2 had alot more exclusives than ps3 has
- Ps2 was much cheaperat this stage in the console generation than the new Ps3

And who would want to buy a ps3 now for that price, when next-generations consols are just around the corner?

 

[Cheerilee]

Xbox is hueg.

So of course, when Sony's PS3 Slim fails to interest Xbox fans, Sony has to try Super-Slim.

Brilliant!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Did Sony really expect people with a PS3 to buy another PS3? Who do they think they are, Apple?

People with PS2s bought PS2 slims.
People with PS3s bought PS3 slims.

It's not the majority, but it does happen.

 

[Acidote]

Well, I'm a 360 owner and I have a very high interest in PS3 super slim. But 80-100 euros cheaper.

 

[IrishNinja]

lol you know why they call it a ps3? because when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away

Spoiler

i think they wouldve been, for $100 less...it's a missed opportunity. then again i dont know their current cost of manufacturing.

 

[Pranay]

Not really.




Perhaps games like Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls and (hopefully) the upcoming The Last Guardian? There are plenty of PS3 exclusives that could appeal to Xbox 360 owners, that's not the problem with Koller's silly statement.

I meant exclusives coming next year

Yup, that's probably what I'm gonna do: Pray that the PS4 has BC (lol) and isn't like 899$ (6 jobs).

 

[GeoramA]

Everyone would be interested if they gave it a price drop, not a fucking $20 price increase.

 

[Hyuga]

I WAS interested in getting the new Slim (even already own 5 games cause I eventually will get a PS3 to play my beloved Yakuza games) but now that they actually INCREASED the price?

Increased the price?
Since when?

Hmmm...I don't really get it, but when you turn 360 degrees, you actually walk towards it...

 

[Jay Sosa]

Since before I read that there is no RRP and the first official TGS announcement thread.

 

[Misterinenja]

Year of the PS3?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

"We saw the same kind of thing happen in reverse during the PS2 years when a lot of PS2 consumers said they wanted to get an Xbox because of Halo and some other games," he continued. "So we think the strategy works and it's a good one."

He kind of has a valid point.

 

[BakedPigeon]

I'm extremely interested in this new slim, ive been waiting for it for a few months now as a 360 owner.

The price however was shocking and I no longer think i want it... i was hoping for something around 150-200. wtf....... way to drop the ball sony.

 

[Phonomezer]

Hmmm...I don't really get it, but when you turn 360 degrees, you actually walk towards it...

 

[Jay Sosa]

He kind of has a valid point.

Sure..however I paid 100€ for a brand new Xbox back then.

 

[Mejilan]

Lol. By 'interest' do they actually mean 'pointing and laughing?' I mean, sure, chatter levels are up.

 

[AdventureRacing]

People with PS2s bought PS2 slims.
People with PS3s bought PS3 slims.

It's not the majority, but it does happen.

Yeah but with both those examples didn't the price go down? Surely this case is a little different in encouraging people rebuying a console.

 

[maquiladora]

How the hell do they know that? lol

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Even if that were true, I very much doubt they would opt for a more expensive model when much cheaper and used ones are available.

 

[Gaogaogao]

not without a price drop

 

[nickcv]

Not really.

really?
really??
why don't we list Versus XIII as well, then?

 

[Metalmurphy]

It's very likely the price will go down as well once the old Slims get cleared.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

He kind of has a valid point.

Yeah, like last gen I expect some PS3 owners will pick up a 360 for Halo 4 and other exclusives too.

 

[Metalmurphy]

really?

Because there's an high chance Versus is an Multi platform title. Not so much with The Last Guardian.

 

[The perfect Dark]

How the hell do they know that? lol

That's a simple question: They lie

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Hmmm...I don't really get it, but when you turn 360 degrees, you actually walk towards it...

 

[nickcv]

there's no chance that the last guardian will be multiplatform, but i think you'd be insane to buy now a console for a game that for all that matters we are not even sure will be released for this sony console (what i mean is that it could become a ps4 title).

TLG could have made some xbox360 user buy a ps3 when the game was first announced, but i don't think any game stuck in development hell has the power to shift hw.

 

[D-e-f-]

You know those surveys that people keep filling out where it says "what systems do you own?" at the end? That's how they piece this crap together.

"Would you be interested in buying a PS3 that has more gigs and is cheaper and redesigned"? Who wouldn't says "yes"?

I find surveys dumb and useless.

 

[CadetMahoney]

The 'Super Slim' PlayStation 3 has attracted "very high interest" from Xbox 360 owners looking to pick up a second console, Sony has stated.

Sick burn on the Wii.

I don't know if wii is more of a threat this holiday season for Sony, but this comes across as confirmation that they see it that way.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Pass the weed Sony... you've had enogh.

 

[8bit]

Maybe they meant 360 Xbox owners, as in the total sales to Xbox owners this will achieve between now and the end of year.

It's been confirmed to still be a PS3 title at GamesCom.

 

[AdventureRacing]

It's very likely the price will go down as well once the old Slims get cleared.

I don't think it's all that likely. Both the PS3 and 360 have been due a price drop for some time but neither are budging. They both just want to eek out as much profit as possible.

Because there's an high chance Versus is an Multi platform title. Not so much with The Last Guardian.

At the same time there is no chance of the last guardian being a system seller. By the time it gets released (assuming it does) it will be too late to move any consoles and it's a niche game anyway.

 

[DodgerSan]

Most of my friends on Live already have a PS3. And don't touch the thing.

Anecdotal, but this is my exact experience as well. They just use it as a blu-ray player.

 

[Limanima]

They should have bundled Uncharted 1&2 instead of 3.

 

[ffdgh]

.....Where?

 

[gogogow]

They should have bundled Uncharted 1&2 instead of 3.

Yep, 1+2 digital and entice them to buy 3, should they like the games.

 

[Corto]

Koller is on a roll.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

This is nothing but an attempt to dismiss the Wii U.

 

[iamshadowlark]

This is nothing but an attempt to dismiss the Wii U.

what?

 

[Waaghals]

Would not be completely unlikely had they actually dropped the price with the introduction of the Slim-Slim.

 

[Diddy Kong]

lol Sony

 

[nickcv]

It's been confirmed to still be a PS3 title at GamesCom.

and still doesn't have a release date... it doesn't even have any recent gameplay video.

do you really expect TLG to be a reason to buy a PS3 (with an increased price) after all these year that it's been stuck in development hell?

if so you are being delusional.
TLG will be shifting hw when a release date will be announced, until then it's meaningless (from a sales POV)

 

[parappatherapper]

Include a 3 month sub to PS+ and im sure the 360 owners may very well hop aboard...

No, I never said the game would be a System seller.

 

[JimiNutz]

As an Xbox owner I must say that the complete opposite is true for me.

I was considering getting a PS3 for Xmas so that I could play The Last of Us but the super slim is so ugly and cheap looking that I will only buy a PS3 if I can get an old regular slim.

The super slim is what I would call a hype killer, which is strange because Sony usually make great looking hardware.

 

[nickcv]

No, I never said the game would be a System seller.

then why do you argue about me telling Rember Citadel that it's pointless to list TLG as a game that could actually convince XBOX360 owners to buy the new ps3 slim?

STOP INTERVIEWING JOHN KOLLER.

Jesus christ, the guy is a one man bullshit machine in every interview he's in.
