You already know that many people are against the PS3, many websites and magazines have written materials that dissed Sony's console but with no effect on sales.
Maybe this material by TIME Magazine will have some effect on gamers and their options when it comes to purchasing a next-gen console. The
PS3 is mentioned in a material entitled: "5 things that went from
buzz to bust", alongside the movie "Snakes on a Plane" and O.J. Simpson's interview to Fox TV.
Here are the exact words written in TIMES magazine: "The big story in computer games this year was HOW TO BLOW A HUGE LEAD, by Sony. Its
PlayStation 2 was the champ in the last round of the console wars. This time Sony bet on a chip called the Cell and a disc format called Blu-ray. They're probably awesome, but how would anybody know? The PS3 is hideously expensive--it goes for up to $600--and Sony manufactured only a piddling few hundred thousand for the U.S., fewer for Japan. Plus it's hard to write games for; the launch titles were lame. You know you're in trouble when you get beat by something called a Wii."
After reading these few lines I guess it's safe to say that the PS3 totally got PWNED. And what doesn't TIMES magazine know is that in Mexico, the PS3 will cost around one thousand bucks (20 GB version). You probably don't care about this, and you could say that most of them will get it from the US, considering that about 10 percent of them are already in America. But keep in mind that Mexicans make about seven times less money than any American.
