Now the PS2 is cheaper than its original launch price, more people are lucky enougth to own one. But there are so many people out there who still have their eyes glued to the shop windows staring at the presious black box saying 'it will be mine, oh yes it will be mine. How would you feel if you buy one then a short while later a newer, more powerful and more expensive version is released? I would be very angry, I wouldnt have enough money as I just spent it on a now out of date PS2.
That PS2 is already developing a good looking catouluge of titles GT3, THPS3, GTA3, Jak and Daxter, Max Payne and more. The future is looking even better, I know that we all have our eyes on some games, and our hand on our wallets. Many of us are looking forward to the repeativly held back release of Metal Gear Solid 2. Others are watching the days fall away on their calendars waiting for games like Medal of honour and Stunt man. MGS2 alone will sell a huge supply of machines and so will the upcoming hard drive and modem.
I know some of you are excited about an even more powerful Sony console, but I am not. I have given Sony my money, and yes I have been entertained with some great games. But let the PS2 reach its peek, dont put it down and send it to console heaven with the Dreamcast until develops cant do anything new on it. Imagine is PS2 came out like 3 years earlier, we would have missed out on a lot of classic PSone titles. So dont call it a day until you have squeesed every last drop of gaming goodness out of it.
Who here wants a PS3 soon?
I hope most of you say not me. If you do want it in a hurry then either your Bill gates or yo are an idiot. Stand back, let the PS2 grow, then went it eventualy dies you move on. All a PS3 will do is:
1. Make sony a lot of money
2. Sony will gain lots of new customers
3. Games will move to an even greater level
4. Sony will lose many old customers
5. Sony will be revealed for the face-less money grabbing company that they are
Sure number 3 sounds good, it is, but not until the PS2 has run its course.Sony will lose old customers, because whats to say that soon after PS3 comes out, Sony will do a PS4. This would put a lot of people off, we havent got unlimited money you know.
Dont get me wrong - Im not saying the PS3 is not wanted, im just saying its not time yet. When it is time it will be great, and I will be raving about them, but not yet. Lets see what the PS2 can do first, lets watch it grow and evolve and produce even greater games and accesories.
What are your views and opinions?
