What does everyone feel about the ps3's future?
I just hope it doesn't follow the dreamcast...

Not many titles and not many sales thus far..

The Dreamcast died because it came out six months before the PS2 did. I don't think the PS3 will go the same way.

I loved the Dreamcast yes it didnt do to well but it was still a fun system.

Speaking of price drop, when is this going to happen you think and to what price?

Personally $799 would be more acceptable as a standard price.

Not chance in hell for this year atleast. Probably will be a price drop but not that low (the $699 mentioned 3 posts above).

This Wikipedia article has the pricing history of the PS2 about halfway down the page:

en.wikipedia.org/

Based on that I reckon it will be at least two years for a price drop and around $200 off when it does happen.

PS3 will do fine. Remember when PS2 came out, that cost a lot too. Just look at how much that plastic stand cost when it came out lol. PS3 cost so much coz of that damn blueray player, but we will need it later on when games get more complex (way bigger then 4gb). If sony wins the blueray vs HD war then the cost of the blueray part will go down fast.

As for games, its still early days. Give ppl time to learn how to code for it. For all those ppl that complain about the amount of games out, would u have rather sony pushed the lunch back of the PS3 until more games had been finished or would u rather get your hands on the ps3 sooner. hmmmmm

Yeh i spose it needs to come down,But there is a huge saving factor with the ps3 as opposed to the 360.
No online fee's no add ons' (hd player) Wi fi .. etc etc etc..
I have both systems but i really like the ps3 better,

The only real future that the ps3 has is if it hacked and real homebrew can be run. My 360 is hacked and also my wii is hacked. i do not want to play backups but only homebrew

Only exclusive games will boost the PS3's sales up. Games like Heavenly Sword and MGS4 would do that for sure.

As far as im concerned there is absolutely nothing to worry bout with PS3s future, as its lifecycle goes on new features will come out for it, new updates to download and great exclusive games such as lair, heavenly sword, MGS4,uncharted drakes fortunes, tekken 6 and 8 days, plus this is only the first year, so we can expect to see plenty of surprise games to merge from the shadows during time and lets not forget home.

I remember thinking having this "future outlook" thought when i first got the ps2, i only had tekken tag tournament and dead or alive 2 apart from them to there was not alot on offer not unless u luv swing away golf or x squad, 'd say to me mates well we got mgs2, final fantasy x, GT3 and the bouncer coming. and during its life span look wat happened, look at all the great games that it got that we may not hav heard bout from the beginning such as onimusha, devil may cry, tekken 5, mgs3, resident evil 4, god of war, virtua fighter 4 n GT4. This is exactly what will happen to ps3 it will start a bit slow which is only expected n given the end of this year or so out will come the big guns n not jus necessary the ones we already know about n r expecting.

Thats true Bear101, devil may cry 4 is now multiplatform and is going to also be ported to the xbox 360 and PC. Quiet a loss i must admit but ps3 are still getting the game, plus PS3 are also getting ninja gaiden sigma which was a brilliant game that was xbox exclusive but now been ported to PS3, so its a pretty fair rotation.
