Catch up to what exactly? Wii will probably launch at the same time while Microsoft hasn't used their early launch "advantage" to get a lot of good games on the 360, while still being beaten in sales by their current competitor, the PS2.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

What's with that negative "If I can't have it now, I don't want to have it at all!" attitude? After all, we're buying consoles for the games, not for the hardware, right? So PS3 will be delayed a few months in Europe. So what? Does it mean the end to Sony?
Hell, I'm just glad they're still planning to release games for the PS2 in 2007. I could gladly do without this "next gen" for at least a year or two ... There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Even with PS3 titles on the shelves, I'll gladly pay full price for PS2 games if they're worth it. As it happens, I'm only mildly interested in the next generation right now. I fail to see how the mere existence of "next generation" hardware makes PS2 games somewhat worse compared to PS3 stuff.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I partly agree, if anything the Wii hype is nothing else than it is, a hype. Nobody knows for certain how successful that console is going to be and given Nintendo's record, I'd say there's room for doubt.
Casual European gamers will continue to opt for the PS2, even with Wii and Xbox 360 on the market, considering a lot of games are still scheduled to be released here in 2007, including Final Fantasy XII, God of War 2 and the like. Store shelves are essentially filled by PS2 games, with a small portion of DS and PSP titles and an even smaller portion of those few good 360 games available in Europe. I'd be inclined to say that most of Europe isn't even interested in the next generation so much that the PS3 delay will make any difference at all. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
