Actually there is another big contributing factor which made PS/PS2 so successful, pirate. Due to the pirate, the games is easily obtainable and widely distribute.
the pirates dont give Sony money,so how does that help them?

if you are speaking of consoles sold,then yeah,the pirates do help somewhat,but the xbox has pirated games as well,but doesnt sell as well as the ps2...

Try do this for PS3's blu-ray, you won't, there is no cheap game for PS3 at least for 3~4years, so if each title cost you RM300 and upwards, sincerely how many title can you get?
when you buy originals,you are sure to finish the games.
unlike pirated games which are only RM3-5,these costs upwards of RM150.
dont tell me you will buy as many as you can get your hands on?
unlike pirated material,you are spending a big amount on one game...
either way,(whether it is above RM300 or not) not many people would have the amount of games in their houses as they do now..
most would probably do what the PSP players do..swap/sell off after their finished..
that way,it wouldnt be too much of a burden to get new games
oh,and btw,there isnt any region protection on the ps3's games,right?
so it would be no problem getting imports of games.
this obviously has made alot of people happy,seeing how we dont have to wait till the games we want to play are released in a certain region before we can play it

Cause Sony is a big liar, they did that for dreamcast and now they are try very hard to out perform Xbox360, at paper wise due to their inability to ship their product. In fact i really doubt they can meet their Nov. schedule at all. I'm expecting another delay to be announce soon.
having looked at the current crop of games and some videos of what they showed then, (before the ps2 was launched) the games now surpass them.(graphically)
i havent seen all the videos,but they showed stuff like final fantasy 8's ballroom dancing,some skeleton models,etc and all look crap compared to the current crop of games available on the ps2.

Beside, if it really good and up to it's claim, i don't mind buying PS as well.
we'll have to wait and see,then
