Quote from: BatchI meant the games that are due to be released in March before the delay was announced could be launch games on top of the ones that were due to release on November 17th.

I know that is what you meant.  I think if a publisher does release as they intended they will be swamped by the other launch titles thus hurting their sales.  If the launch had gone as planned they would have been sure of good initial sales because they would have been releasing their game in quiet patch post launch.  

Some Xbox360 titles benefitted from releasing their games Jan-Mar.  The months post launch are traditionally quiet.  Im not saying some publishers wont do what you say, they will.  If they do though, they are stupid.  

Yeh...

The only other thing that cna happen is that all game releases would be pushed back for PAL territories and to be honest, that is not a good one either because it means waiting to the end of the year or even 2008 for the best PS3 games like MGS4 and GTA4.

That happens anyway because European games have to have French, German, Swedish, etc languages added other wise they would have to press the game for each country which costs too much.  We should all be used to delayed launches

Im not bothered about PS3 being delyaed cos Im used to it - I mean, games have been delayed that i preordered before and i werent bothered...at least you get it eventually!

I bet you will be able to pick up a 360 core for about Ã,£170 when the PS3 finally comes out, you just know microsoft will turn the screws

what im mildly amused at is the Nintendo execs tlaking about buying a Wii and a 360 to "compliment" each other, and the MS execs doing the same.  Gentlemans Agreement possibly?

i think that decision was made for them by consumers to be honest... its a cunning plan, but it may just work, kill Playstation and inherit the earth.

So long as games like MGS4 are not put at risk and come out one way or another, I couldnt care less if the PS3 flops.

it needs to flop, for the sake of the gaming industry, to be honest...

if it succeeds, its carte blanche to keep churning out high priced machines which fleece consumers... they can produce cheap machines, which will sell - look at nintendo with the GC and DS, why sony constantly feel the need to crank the power up and hence the cost is beyond me, people want to play games, pure and simple, thats what differentiates it from a PC - simple and cheap.

Yeah, we need it to fail for the good of the gaming industry as you say.
We dont want stupid price machines, we want better looking games but still play well.
We dont want devlopment costs to get even worse then they are now and cause games to be Ã,£60-70
