This is really detrimental to the Digg experience, when yet another anti-PS3 article hits the front pages, it pushes other, more interesting articles out of the way.
It's not about TRUTH either -- what was the last front-pager that was good news about the PS3? -- digg users want to hate the PS3, and promote that idea. Very tiring, and illustrates one of the biggest problems with digg: mob bias.

I think you have a false notion of what the "Digg experience" is. Digg is majority rules, border-line anarchy -- and that is its chief strength. Fortunately, there are some tools to tailor it to your delicate sensibilities. You could unsubscribe from gaming news or, if you just want to avoid PS3 related gaming news, you could set up a Greasemonkey script or use an RSS reader with a custom filter.
The bottom line is that it really isn't of any use to complain about story content on digg. If something makes it to the front page it is because that is what the masses want. - dogfurnace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@unibomber999 & catalysis:

- Katana, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Yeah, everyone who wanted a next gen console over here has gone out and bought a 360 or Wii by now.

Abuh? I was just on vacation in England and I can confirm that the $ most assuredly does NOT = £. Oh man, my wallet is still feeling the pain of the £. - Optimaximal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Chompy, are you dense. What he said was that Sony's pricing pretty much equates one dollar to one pound - They just seem to magically dream up exchange rates when setting out the price of their consoles (and pretty much all their other hardware).
Gameplay (UK) are selling a 60GB PS3 and 3 games (Motorstorm, CoD3 & RR7) for £652 (£555 + VAT at 17.5% - Shipping is free), whereas in the US, the exact same bundle on EBGames costs $779 (incl Tax & Shipping).
Converted at the current exchange rate of £1 = $1.95, this means the US bundle would cost a UK buyer £339 if he/she exchanged it for US money and bought it that way.
Therefore, this validates the assumption that Sony are roughly taking £1 to equal $1.
- RMD78, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24"MCV is reporting that Jowett resigned to 'pursue new opportunities outside of the games industry..."

It's getting to the point that they won't be able to give them away. What a let down.- meltingrobot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

- AntBing, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I did buy one, mainly for the Blu-ray and Linux. I'm happy with it now, hopefully the games situation picks up soon though.
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4I'm really hoping that the ps3 will drop to failure-level pricing. I think the ps3 is a cool piece of hardware, but I just can't justfy spending that much on essentially a toy.
I've always disliked sony mainly because I've always found them to the be epitome of cookie-cutter mainstream gaming (don't get me wrong there's some great niche games for their systems, but they really helped define the 'graphics and 3d make a game better' mentality, plus they never pushed the envelope with what consoles could do). But they're doing so poorly as of recent they're actually starting to hit the 'go underdog!' part of my heart... which they'd hit better if their console was at all reasonably priced. - MrFlesh, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Where do you people get this *****? How is the PS3 failing? It's still selling well they are not backing up on store shelves....ohhh wait I know where your getting it. Your drinking the kool-aid. Now go lie down on your cot and cover your head with your jacket.
- Antialias, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8MrFlesh,
In the US at least, the PS3 is looking to be a distant 3rd unless some of their huge games come out and can sell insane numbers of consoles. The PS3 is almost 8 million units behind the 360 and the gap is actually increasing as the 360 sells more per week than the ps3. Wii sales have actually been increasing in the post holiday season, so there could be a viral spread there, but we'll have to wait and see.
Couple that with rumors of the first ps3 price drop coming in 2009 with the 45nm cell chips they've got a tough uphill battle.
That said, Gamecube was 3rd place last gen and it was my favorite console. - MrFlesh, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2First show me a link that 360 sales are increasing over PS3. On Digg that sure would have hit the front page with 10 million diggs and I haven't seen it. Two the 360 had a year lead on the PS3 no ***** it's gonna have more units shipped. The wii outselling the PS3 again no ***** it's half the price, but the Wii crowd isn't the hardcore gamer crowd. No ***** the PS3 price drop will come in 2009 that's standard Sony strategy...the ps2's first price drop was two years after it's release as well. And most importantly.........It's not even three months into the PS3 launch that is doing better than any last or current gen launch aside from the Wii....so how does that translate into trouble?
- DrunKao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2MrFlesh, mainly it's a failure compared to Wii's extremely impressive performance. The Wii is still selling much better than the PS3 and it's still hard to find while the PS3 is not. If the Wii hadn't been released, I don't think people would be so hard on the PS3 at this moment. Still being available and catching up to demand so soon after launch is a bad thing, but I don't think it would be as noticeable or people would care as much, if there wasn't that contrast...
- JayD16, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4What are you basing your 360 growing sales faster then PS3 sales on? I can't find anything unless you count xmas which actually was supply inhibited.
- MrFlesh, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1The Wii isn't in the same market as the other two consoles it is geared torward the casual and non gamer. That is not the crowd that made gaming what it is today and it won't be the crowd who is shaping the future of gaming either. This is not the crowd that buys one game every paycheck. It is essentially a glorified Mall kiosk 100 in 1 gaming system. Yes the Wii-mote offers new interactivity but how many games of each genre will this support? None of the things that are working for it will work for the other two. And most of it's success is comming from the fact that it is the only one doing what it is. If Sony and Microsoft were to compete in the same market Nintendo would once again be at the bottom of the pile. Don't get me wrong I want a Wii too, but to compare it to either the 360 or the PS3 is like comparing beer to wine....sure more people buy it but that doesn't make it better.

Maybe the guy was just stressed. It's not like the PS3 was going to fly off the shelves regardless of what he did. I don't think this will have much of an impact on things to come, nor do I think it's in any way indicative of how well the launch will go. - tsaxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@RandomGuySteve re:"So how many high level executives have you seen quit lately?"

That is a lot of heads to jump ship. Interesting to note that this guy left the gaming industry completely. - 3dom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The fact it's been constant arrogance and consumer disrespect from the likes of Kutaragi and Harrison (see claims of 120fps on screens that havent been invented yet, despite severe fps lag issues - especially at 1080p) from the beginning, added with the screwing over of Europe/UK in terms of launch dates and ridiculous pricing and the actual proven inferiority of the graphics when directly compared with the xbox (see COD3) has really put me off from buying a PS3. It seems everything Sony does these days leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I was still considering buying one just for MGS4 but that doesn't look likely now. Personally I'm waiting to see if this much-rumoured "special edition x360" weighs up worth its price.

The reason the PS3 gets some much bad publicity is because there is no/little good news to post about it. It's also "keeping informed" for people who want to buy the console.

This was nowhere close to the fiasco that the PS3 has been, I still say it's too soon to wright the PS3 off but the start is far far rockier than the PS2 or even the PS1.

Come Feb 29th 2009 (the day all major tv networks have to be HD Compliant/Streaming), Blu-ray, and HD-DVD will see a pick up in sales because HD-TVs will drop dramatically in price. Come that date, we'll see who wins, Blu-ray, or HD-DVD
I've made my mind up to not buy either until 2010 to play it safe. :)
- kayjay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0i dont get why sony had to set the price point so high.
afterall the ps3 includes a lot of ps2 chips (backwards compatibility requirement), they already said they want to write a software emulator.
releasing 2 different version was another bad idea. they shouldve limited the hdd to 40gb or so and released one console.
the psp has been out for quite a while now... no PSN (playstation network) had been developed during this time. NOW they decide they quickly need to stomp up PSN... like they didnt have had the time to do it (for psp). PSN for the psp wouldve been GREAT!- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -1/+1"sony had to set the price point so high," because they had the idea that if the PS2 was such a success, why can't we charge more for something that will offer the same amount of technology for the next generation of technologies.
It's simple consumerism really. If you have a high demand, you can mark your price quite high, and people will still buy it. If you go too high, and too little product, you won't sell at all.
Sony's problem is that they marked it at an absolutely rediculous price, while they had the demand, the price made the demand less of an economical choice, dispite having the supply that they thought they needed. This "doomed" the PS3 to have the fate we're seeing right now... the question is, will they drop the price to something more reasonable or will they continue to ramble on about it's God's creation and should be sold for $599.99.
My guess? Sony's a bull in a china shop right now, and they're treading very carefully because they've already broken a lot of the merchandise.

In all seriousness, this honestly doesn't suprise me. More and more people are leaving Sony because they're not running things correctly. It doesn't have to do with the fact that their sales have basically been so shoddy, but because their PR and CR (customer relations) departments are just, .. well.. *****. When you compile bad PR and CR with a pile of technology that no one wants to buy, be it because of bad batteries, or bad marketing, whatever the reason.. no one wants to work for you. I wouldn't be suprised if we see by mid-term 2008 portions of Sony being chapter 11ed, and sold off to other major companies...
