Yes, I think with the fan base that they already have, plus people that are now into collecting based off of rarity or the new graphics/technology involved, it will be just as, if not more popular. :)
 
Maybe. It all depends on Sony and if they don't drop the ball too much, but since it is Sony, there is a really good chance it will be.
 
I voted that I live in a cave because it was funny. :lol

Honestly I don't think that the PS3 will be successful in the same way as the PS2 was. Hunch maybe?? My motive for this opinion may be because the price assumptions that are floating around are seemingly scaring people away. This will benefit the 360 and Revolution in a big way.

The other problem they will face is Sony is riding this wave of trying to use the latest and most powerful components. I remember reading about a race that was held in France, where the vastly underpowered Mini Cooper pounded the more powerful Ferarris, Alfas, Fords, etc. Sometimes being the most powerful doesn't necesarraly mean you will win the race.

I have my doubts. But Sony had better expect a very weak second or strong third.

Please keep the hate mail to a minimum. I own both PS1 and PS2, and don't own an Xbox or 360. And I don't care. :D

I don't think the price speculation really deters anybody because everybody who knows video games by now should know that it's all rumors at the moment. I hear all these so called prices but that doesn't mean that is the actual cost.

That race example is great, but it depends on what race you're trying to win. A Mini Cooper will not beat those cars in a quarter mile race. Nintendo is not in the same race as the other two. They are basically in their own league, while both Sony and MS are competing for the most powerful...I think.

I think it all depends if Sony can deliver the goods at a reasonable price, and if they do, expect all a lot of people who are supposedly scared away by the price come back in droves.

This could be true. But another thing I was thinking about is Sony is a cut throat company. I read in the PSP forum that they announced a price drop for the PSP. But upon looking closer, they stripped everything out of the kit. It wasn't a price drop at all anymore. You pay less because you get less. When I bought my PS1, it wasn't out of brand loyalty. It was just there. With the PS2, I again didn't buy it because of brand loyalty. I bought it because of the game selection. If the Xbox had the same selection, I would have purchased an Xbox. My bottom line is that Sony is disenchanting the average gamer. The hard core Sony fan club may still buy a PS3. But the average gamer will most likely not.

Well actually the average gamer is what Sony has. That's why it's so popular because it appeals to the average gamer. The name PlayStation is known worldwide and especially to average gamers. But you're right in the sense that Xbox has taken away quite a bit of customers from Sony.
 
I believe it will be. Despite all the bashing people will still go out and get it......I know I will. :D
 
for the record... I didn't put I hate sony :lol I answered no :)

I honestly think the 360 and Wii will have enough steam to take away more market share from Sony. It may still be popular (no doubt on that)... I just don't think AS popular as the Ps2 was.

I don't like PS2, it has the most akward control sticks I've ever seen. It's very awkward when you are playing a game that involes driving.
