It's Getting Worse For The PS3

A new report out of Japan and China suggests that Sony's recent restructuring is proving to be way to conservative. The report indicates that part suppliers for the PS3 and other Sony Electronics products are growing weary of their future with Sony. As suppliers are being hit hard by the global financial crisis.

[oriol003]

Wow that sucks I don't think Sony will catch up to the Xbox 360.

[Powertesties]

Sony is really taking a beating and has for the last few years. With delays and falling back in the times, the Sony brand means less than it used too.

It used to be a staple of the electronic world, especially in gaming. Now, Sony is known for High Price, lack of quality (games, not hardware) and poor products.

The forecast is not much better for the PS3 as demand is low, sells are getting worse every month. While MS has been able to steadily build its market by selling double the console each month, Sony still hasn't been able to address the fundamental problems. Quality titles, equal multi-platform games, and equal features of the 360.

Now with supplies becoming weary and PS3's and PSP's (along with other devices) sitting on store shelves gathering dust, it is natural they are rethinking agreements.

[Chris399]

Apparently not.

If you wanted to go over the information with a fine-toothed (biased) comb, there is a very, very small part of the article that launches further speculation against the PS3 and it's software. The majority and basis of the article however, is about television sales, parts and out-sourcing.

Don't worry, the writer of this ridiculous piece of "news" is just as dense. Perhaps the three of you could start a blog.

UBA - Uninformed, Bullsh*t Articles, would be a good name.

[Timberland2K9]

Maybe you stupid fanboys should actually read the article

It says all sony products are taking hits. This is nothing but a stupid flame article and many ignorant b()t*hes will say Ooo sony will stop making the ps3 like the dreamcast with sega

[Danja]

wow the 360 section must be really empty today...look at all the trolls

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

How about the world economy? This article's title needs to be changed. It's just another "The PS3 is doomed" article. I'm tired of this crap and I know a lot of you are too. About 1 in 20 articles on N4G can be considered actual news.

[-EvoAnubis-]

For actually reading the source article. This little post took one tiny section of this report and blew it out of proportion, which I guess is to be expected given the blockbuster year the PS3 is set to have.

It's all good; may as well get in your licks while you can. Sony is blowing doors off this year, and 1,000 articles like this can do nothing to stop that.

[LastDance]

"With delays and falling back in the times, the Sony brand means less than it used too"

what are you talking about. Sony's products are top quality and very innovative.

[acedoh]

is overwhelming... Everytime some see an article mentioning problems for SONY they take it as bad news for Playstation. Well then I guess SONY should just put all games on hold. Killzone 2 should be stopped since SONY is over... Get a life people. SONY and the Playstation are going no where. Obviously it's as if SONY some how threatens your life but hey I guess when your life consists of nothing you would rather rely on these stories...

"No AAA titles for this system since god knows when

Home is starting to go down the wrong road, charging for a pair of virtual jeans, couch, hats, and shoes, 20$ dollars for clubs.

Mostly all their games are in 720p, they are not true 1080p,come on now this is suppose to be next gen. "

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm not even going to waste my time proving these statements wrong (particularly the hilarious 3rd comment - "true" HD is a straight-up alien concept for the 360). If you seriously believe what you just said there, then you are experiencing a massive drug flashback to anything sniffed, smoked, or injected by any human being from the years 1970 to 1990.

*laughs* Twenty years worth of drugs all at once will easily get you to whatever dream world you're living in right now.

Edit: I just checked your comment history, and I see that I was wrong. Twenty years isn't enough to get you to where YOU are. Make it 1960 to 1995. Thirty-five years of pure drugs should kill the required braincells of an average human being to be in your state.

[gameplayer]

There's two paragraphs referring to supply issues for the ps3 and psp which draws on the context of the rest of the article... seems relevant to me.

[STONEY4]

"Mostly all their games are in 720p, they are not true 1080p,come on now this is suppose to be next gen."

That's the developers choice, nothing to do with the PS3, but the games that do support 1080p usually run in native 1080p, where as the 360 upscales it to 1080p. I prefer native resolution over upscaling.

[N4G360]

Yes the PS3 is loosing it's ground and will probably lose this gen.

[-EvoAnubis-]

In my last comment, I wasn't referring to just 360 fanboys, but rather, all of them. Two 360 fanboys have proven me correct thus far, and now, thanks to you, a Ps3 fanboy has as well.

[Kushan]

@trancefreak: If this article was on hiphipgamer, people would be readily defending it.

[gw4k]

I am a middle of the road gamer. I own all systems and each one is special to me....especially after the price tags.

It really blows my mind when some one states a well informed opinion or fact about the PS3/Sony and everyone on N4G freaks out. The real trolls here are the those Sony fanboys.

Those are the ones that play NOTHING but Playstation and honestly, do not know what they are talking about. Microsoft truly cares for their customers. Imagine what they had to give to get the exclusives that they have. Imagine how much they paid Square for all the role-playing games. You have to admit, if you are a FPS fan, the 360 is the system to get. Graphics, online play are always better (COD4/5, Rainbow six 1/2, Unreal, etc). Back to Role Playing games, 360 for the win there as well (honestly, who cares how many discs it comes on? Remember Final Fantasy VII for the PS).

You have Gears of War games, Halo games, Downloadable content that is exclusive and so much more.

Want to talk about the LIVE network, while not perfect it is constantly getting better. Never as laggy or as slow as the PSN. Easier to use. Private chat in games, voice messages, etc. The PSN has none of that. Not to mention joining a clan is easier, inviting your friends to a game is easier....It is a joke to join a friend on the PSN. Seriously.

The 360 is an incredible machine, equally as powerful as the PS3. Heck, the processor in the 360 has the same core as the Cell. Don't believe me, check out this month's issue of Game Informer. IBM states that the 360 and the PS3 are basically equals power wise. Seriously folks, I am not making this up. Read it for yourselves.

I love my PS3, do not get me wrong. It has some killer games out and coming out in the future. MGS is awesome. Drakes F. is amazing (Number 2 is around the corner). LBP isn't bad (very innovative). Killzone 2 is going to be great (But the graphics are not MIND BLOWING, Great but not the leap we all were expecting). God of War III looks awesome. It is a great year to be a PS3 owner.

Of course, the PSN is free. That is awesome of course; but, I would be willing to pay for a better, faster, more feature rich service. The PSN is terribly slow. Comparing trophies requires a nice wait. Downloading takes a good amount of time. Then it has to install (360 is fast, download and ready to go). Voice over the network is poor. Everyone sounds terrible, as if they are in a tin can. That is, if you can even understand them. Bluetooth has a part to play in this but even with USB mics, pretty poor (but better). I can go on and on why Live is the winner in this area but if you have ever used Live, you already know this. If you haven't, then you will say that I am troll or a fanboy. Gamers that appreciate both systems know what I speak of.

So, am I a troll for speaking the truth about both systems? Heck no, if you leave a negative bubble, then it is you. Simple as that.

Also, before I forget, there is not one single game on the PS3 that can not be done of the 360 (Don't even mention disc size, no one minds popping in multiple discs). Graphically. Not a single one! If a developer spends as much time making a game as say, Killzone 2, for the 360, it would look just as good if not better. And then, you would have the terrific Live service to go hand in hand with that. I get a good laugh at those who keep talking about the games that graphically, the 360 can't do. Haha What reality do you live in?

This may change in the future but that is not the present.

[jammy_70]

we all no sony is better quality, has better games, blue ray....

quality over quantity... i think it is ..... =/

[NickIni]

"So, am I a troll for speaking the truth about both systems? Heck no, if you leave a negative bubble, then it is you. Simple as that."

Opinion =/= the truth.

"Also, before I forget, there is not one single game on the PS3 that can not be done of the 360 (Don't even mention disc size, no one minds popping in multiple discs). Graphically. Not a single one! If a developer spends as much time making a game as say, Killzone 2, for the 360, it would look just as good if not better."

We don't know that. And if it is so reachable, then why hasn't it been done?

[SL1M DADDY]

Read the articles folks before posting and for the submitter of this article, be sure the quality of your submissions keeps people, gamers like me, from speculating that you yourself are nothing but a silly fanboy.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

More Playstation fan excuses... what else is new?

[SpoonyRedMage]

May be Killzone 2 can be on the 360? People have been saying graphics have hardly improved in the last two years on the 360 and simply that's because they've been in development for two years at most not four at the minimum. of course if an MS took four years to develop a game of that supposed(because nothing I've saw has actually wowed me) quality it would take at least four years and then the 360 and PS3 are quite old by then.

[STONEY4]

"It really blows my mind when some one states a well informed opinion or fact about the PS3/Sony and everyone on N4G freaks out. The real trolls here are the those Sony fanboys."

The fanboys from both sides can be considered trolls.

"Those are the ones that play NOTHING but Playstation and honestly, do not know what they are talking about."

I play pretty much nothing but Playstation, some PC games here and there, so that makes me a fanboy and a troll?

"Microsoft truly cares for their customers. Imagine what they had to give to get the exclusives that they have. Imagine how much they paid Square for all the role-playing games. You have to admit, if you are a FPS fan, the 360 is the system to get"

And that's why everyone hates them, they think they can use all that money to make PS3 exclusives multi-plat, or buy exclusitivity so the only way to play the game is if you own a 360. Their ultimate goal is just to make more money and completely take over the console market. They even tried to pay Intel money not to make a chip for Linux.

"Graphics, online play are always better (COD4/5, Rainbow six 1/2, Unreal, etc)"

Multi-platform graphics are up to the developers, and most of them make the game for 360 first since it's much easier. Then they port it to the PS3, thats why multi-platform games tend to look better on the 360. It has nothing to do with the PS3 or the 360 itself.

"You have Gears of War games, Halo games, Downloadable content that is exclusive and so much more."

We have our share of exclusives too you know, and once again, Microsoft paid for exclusive downloadable content for many games because they're hogs. If they didn't do this, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have all these arguments like "We have exclusive GTA4 DLC, Sony fanboys must be crying."

"Want to talk about the LIVE network, while not perfect it is constantly getting better. Never as laggy or as slow as the PSN."

Personally, I have not experienced any lag. And if you have, this has nothing to do with the PSN. All online games on the 360 all use master servers by Microsoft. However, on the PS3, the developers of the game set up their own master server, so if the developer has crappy master server, then there will be alot of lag. That's why we can have 60 player games like Resistance 2 without any lag at all.

"Not to mention joining a clan is easier, inviting your friends to a game is easier....It is a joke to join a friend on the PSN. Seriously."

I don't know how joining a clan could be easier, don't the games have to offer clan support themselves? And joining a friend isn't hard on the PSN, you just gotta be in the same game and the game has to support friend invites, which most games do. I know XBL is much easier because of the cross-game invites, but the PSN doesnt bother me much.

"The 360 is an incredible machine, equally as powerful as the PS3. Heck, the processor in the 360 has the same core as the Cell. Don't believe me, check out this month's issue of Game Informer. IBM states that the 360 and the PS3 are basically equals power wise. Seriously folks, I am not making this up. Read it for yourselves."

The Xenon is weaker than the cell, but it was based off of it. Bill Gates went to IBM for them to make a processor for the 360, but he wasn't interested in any of the ones they showed him. Then a guy who was working on the Cell (which was secret at the time) told him about the Cell processor for the PS3, and Bill Gates was interested and made IBM give him parts of the Cell. So, Sony was giving IBM money to work on the Cell, while IBM secretly also used that money to make the Xenon. Just shows how damn greedy Microsoft is.

"Comparing trophies requires a nice wait."

3 seconds.

"Downloading takes a good amount of time."

Depends on your connection speed and the amount of people downloading.

"Then it has to install (360 is fast, download and ready to go)."

Maybe because the 360 installs it as it's downloading. Duh.

"Everyone sounds terrible, as if they are in a tin can. That is, if you can even understand them. Bluetooth has a part to play in this but even with USB mics, pretty poor (but better)"

I can clearly understand people on PSN, and the quality depends on their mic.

"Also, before I forget, there is not one single game on the PS3 that can not be done of the 360 (Don't even mention disc size, no one minds popping in multiple discs). Graphically. Not a single one! If a developer spends as much time making a game as say, Killzone 2, for the 360, it would look just as good if not better."

Developing a game for 2 years on the 360 is pretty much equal to developing a game for 4 years on the PS3, because it is much faster to develop a game on the 360. And, if Killzone 2 can't be graphically done on the 360, then how come it hasn't been done or surpassed? As far as I see, Gear of War 2 is the most graphically impressive game on the 360, which is very impressive, but doesn't come close to Killzone 2.

[XxZxX]

why quit when you look at your shoulder and XBOX 360 is worse than you. only quit after XBOX 360 fail hard.

[JHUX]

gw4k, I honestly don't believe for a second you own all systems with how biased you came off as. Especially considering the fact that a lot of what you said you completely pulled out of your ass. You are nothing but a 360 fanboy. Your lack of knowledge of PSN pretty much raises a flag. Oh btw, I am pretty sure there have been games with twice the budget as kz2, and in development for around the same amount of time (kz2's majority of the time was building the engine), and guess what? None of them have reached it.

Trolls are trolls, and you are one of them. Whether they be ps3 fanboys or 360 fanboys.

[Counter_ACT]

Uh, I don't think companies are just going to stop making parts for Sony. They're a huge electronics company that is one of the leading brands in the world.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Shh..let the fanboys think their right for a moment.

They've had a bad day with all the Anti-Microsoft articles on here
:)

[tnkGODimATHEIST]

Only problem is those companies don't just make parts for PS3 they make them for tons of different products so as the other products they make have less demand the companies prices go up and affects sony because they have to pay more than Sony looses more money.

for the past 60 years, i believe they know better than all you fanboys and speculators where to put their manufacturing plant. This is no concern for consumers, not to mention, this is going to spell Doom for the PS3 just because of this? A little conspiracy theory, i say bull crap.

[oriol003]

This is no speculation did you even bother to read the report?

[omodis420]

I think its funny how all the people reporting the story as lame can't stand anything negative about Sony.

[PirateThom]

I'm actually changing my report, there's no mention of the PS3 in the report.

It's about their LCD TVs and how Samsung are reducing their supply.

[oriol003]

Quote from the report half way down:

In addition, Sony recently released PS3 game sales have been falling trend. 分析人士认为，这与PS3的产品供应链有关，该产品组件供应紧张 。 Analysts believe that with the PS3 product supply chain, and the product component suppliers nervous. 此前索尼预计在日本、北美和欧洲市场上首推200万台PS3上市 ，但由于组件供货短缺，导致日本和北美上市供货减少到50万台，而 欧洲市场不得不延期上市。 Prior to Sony is expected in Japan, North American and European markets on the most important two million Taiwan PS3 listing, but due to shortage of component suppliers, resulting in Japan and North America, listed suppliers to reduce to 50 million units, while the European market, the listing had to be postponed.

You could of atleast read it.

[nycredude]

Maybe you should learn to comprehend what you read instead of just skimming it and copy and pasting the one paragraph in the entire report that has Ps3 in it, not to mention that this is what analyst believe.

Personally, after the wall street fiasco, I won't put any stock in what "they" believe anymore.

Besides, this affects every company. What did you think the other consoles use "made in the usa parts"?

Yah i can read; in fact i can read both the chinese and the english, the key word? Analyst believes.

That's cool,but I don't think you're allowed to say that in this zone.

[Homicide]

Hi QueefyB.

[Death]

If you check the source from the linked article and translate it, you will see it's a Chinese article that is focusing on supply chain issues for Sony. Sony is cutting jobs and scaling back production due to a poor economy, the fall of the yen and of course their first reported annual loss in 14 years. The article is a response to these cuts.

The article also says Nintendo is more flexible by outsourcing their production to low cost Chinese factories while the PSP is still being primarily produced in Japan. It notes the PS3 is selling less with "falling trends".

This article is kind of pointless. The general gist of it is Sony should be focusing more on production and supplies from China. I'm not terribly shocked since it's a Chinese article. Take what you want from it, but it's a reactionary piece due to cuts being made by Sony.

If more fanboys from both sides are like him we will never have these fanboys war on N4G.

[JD_Shadow]

I agree with that. Though I rarely have seen him defend the PS3 or Sony, if ever.

I think we all have a preference, but that doesn't make us fanboys (God, that label gets tossed around WAY too frequently on this site). There's a difference.

[oriol003]

[likedamaster]

"Its pretty sad how Sony includes Blu-Ray on their console but doesn't bother to add HD cables I had to spend $30 dollars for them such a rip off."

Don't forget the cables to charge your controllers. http://www.amazon.com/exec/...

...and Headset. http://www.amazon.com/exec/...

You will go broke.

[AngryTypingGuy]

^^^^^^^
If you're looking for some good, inexpensive HDMI cables, I recommend eforcity.com. Much better than buying one in a retail store for much more.

[likedamaster]

Cheap HDMI cables = big mistake. I bought one at walmart for cheap... as soon as I hooked the PS3 to my monitor I heard a pop and never worked after that. At first I thought it was my ps3 but I found out it wasn't when I used the 360's HDMI cable and it worked.

[xerox]

likedamaster, it would be nice if you stopped spreading misinformation. You can easily use the cable of your PS3 controller and charge your controller on a PC.

And cables are not that expensive.

I agree about the HDMI cables but even they're not that expensive.

[GiantEnemyPrawn]

Don't forget your....

-Xbox Live Gold membership
-Battery packs and batteries for controllers
-Hard disc for arcade units
-Wifi adaptor
-Cooling fan (otherwise your Sh!tbox might explode)
-Extended warranty (you just never know when you Crapbox will cause a nuclear holocaust outside the standard warranty)
-DLC (because you have no games)
-A second Xbox (because your 1st one will scratch your discs)

You will go broke.

[Arnon]

-Hard disc for arcade units - Nope. The majority bought are Pro.
-Wifi adaptor - Nope. Wired has a better connection.
-Cooling fan - Nope. Doesn't Help.
-Extended warranty - Free. 3 years of it to be precise!
-A second Xbox - Warranty covers it. So nope.

So we end up with..

[oriol003]

The xbox 360 ones are back from 08 backed by reports charts and graph. The halo killer was written by one of our admins later some what copied by hip hop gamer and Is Sony Losing it was about the Past marketing campaign for Sony titles plus what Sony was going to do about Killzone 2's campaign pretty good read. You kinda forgot to mention the resident evil 5 articles killzone 2 impressions, top 5 first person shooters and the rest of our articles. I see you have fun picking and choosing.

[Marceles]

The titles are what gets the flames started regardless of anyone reads it or not. It could've been "Sony's advertising losing it?", not Sony in general. This is just a bad trend lately that's being exploited. "360/Ps3/Wii doomed????", everyone gets mad but in the article there's not a mention of a 360 at all...it could even be a total PS3 bashing article but all that matters is the article hits the beehive and gets everyone riled up. All the source is talking about is a lack of production because of economic issues, but it gets misconstrued into a "Sony's doomed" article. They're just conclusive articles when you know this is happening to practically the whole economy. The 360 ones were posted in January 09. Check yourself man.

[Chubear]

12 days to Killzone. The need to ramp up the FUD asap.

[xerox]

Another day, another negative PS3 article.

[Meus Renaissance]

The problem isn't Sony itself or Sony products but how hard the suppliers have been impacted by the global recession. These companies themselves need greater financial revenue, as most companies are now needing, and as most of Sony's products (ex their LCD screens) have disappointed with sales figures - the article goes to suggest that these suppliers may look elsewhere to essentially make products that will sell.

Nintendo, as the article highlights, with their success have had to look for cheaper labour but that's just to lower costs. The story with Sony is that the suppliers may rethink their businesses' with any company that isn't churning in the cash.

The irony being that Sony don't need to concern themselves with supply issues. I'm sure they have warehouses full of the machine anyway considering it's sales as of late.

[N4Sony]

BOTH sides, just keep to your games and don't try and join in playing armchair analyst. This is the type of stuff that makes you all look like fools.

[ForROME]

Well no doubt, its not because of library etc, its because of price, what is on everyone mind when it comes to anything, price, bad economy if someone can get away with 100 dollar cheaper system they will do just that, xmas proved it so, we are talking about casual gamers and parents here, not us people who read game forums daily...

[randomwiz]

read the article before you comment. They're talking about suppliers

[STONEY4]

yeah, almost everyone who has commented on this article apparently didn't even read the whole article

[yanikins111]

GOW3, KZ2, UC2, Insomniac, Naughty dog, GG, Quantic Dream etc etc etc all say hi....

[Simon_Brezhnev]

lmao xbots seriously u have nothing else better to do its not my fault u 2 broke to get a ps3

[n to the b]

another claim that 'xbots' r too 'broke' to buy a PS3. and yet, as some other PS3 fans have cleverly pointed out (see above), getting a fully-featured 360 with all accessories can cost even more than a basic PS3.

so which is it????

[dukadork3]

the X forces are getting desperate cuz they know the tide is turning and there's nothing they can do except spreading bullsh!t.

in the next couple weeks, killzone2 will hit very hard all over the world and almost simultaneously, yakuza3 will hit japan as hard as GTA4 did in the west.

by the end of 2009, infamous, MAG, GT5, heavy rain, uncharted 2, GOW3, FF13 vs, DC universe, quantum theory... besides all the 3rd party titles...

that is what i call a BADASS LINEUP!
i understand why it scares the sh!t out of the xbollox collective...

halo what?
lol

[Arnon]

"infamous, MAG, GT5, heavy rain, uncharted 2, GOW3, FF13 vs, DC universe, quantum theory... besides all the 3rd party titles..."

And that's the entire year, isn't it? Oh, God of War 3 is 2010 by the way, Heavy Rain, MAG, GT5, FFXIIIvs, DC Universe AND Quantum theory have no release dates either.

PS3 2009:

Killzone 2
InFamous
Uncharted 2

[psiom]

It's getting worse for N4G.

[Lombax]

I wonder what the next one will say?

"Sony spending too much money on making quality games and not enough on marketing. Sony is doomed!!"

^That's my guess.

[interrergator]

hahahaha heres one "microsoft keeps taking sonys games away which means sonys doomed!!"

[likedamaster]

No one's immune to a bad economy, not even Sony.

[xerox]

Did anyone imply that?

[badkolo]

another doom and gloom, almost every company is having issues, laying workers off, restructuring and planning for the worse, how in the world does that equate to sony dying off or the ps3 dying off, ms is laying off like 5000 people plus some at the xbox division, i dont see doom and gloom for them so why would that happen to sony.

Its more then evident that the ps3 will get a pricedrop and if it is the one i think it is - 100 off - 299 ps3 then I can see the ps3 coming back strong.

Even if sony needs to shut some divisions or restructure i dont see them bowing out of the gaming industry, its to vital, games and movies are big and even if the ps3 doesn't completely dominate this gen im sure sony will follow through and keep the ps3 around and weather any downfalls and then do the right thing with he ps4.

While the ps3 isnt in first place its not like its really doing that badly.

[NegativeCreep427]

yet is that reported on N4G. F*ck No!!!

The delusional, negative Fud against the PS3 needs to step up as far as the media is concerned. Or else Killzone 2 may stand a chance of becoming commerically successful, and that would certainly cause some rift in the balance of the universe!

No anti-PS3/Sony news will lead to the rapture!!!

[tnkGODimATHEIST]

It was actually you should use the "Search Bar"

[GiantEnemyPrawn]

i think he means anti-PS3 news gets more attention than Anti-MS news all over the internet. Which is a fuken disgrace. Are we gamers or haters?

[tnkGODimATHEIST]

Not really teh Microsoft thing was on CNN and anyother news website but N4G.com is different is like 89% Sony Fanboys 10% Xbox 360 Fanboys and 1% Wii Fanboys so when something anti microsoft goes up they just sit there and laugh but when something anti Sony comes up they raised their arms and make up any bullshit to defend it and keep commenting until its so hot its on the Hottest news of the week.

And thats the Scientific Explanation.

[labaronx]

As of 02/15/09 at 1137 pm Microsoft stocks sit at 19.09 a share And dropping. Id be more worried about the next xbox over the next Playstation right now.

[psycho360]

So forget the software or hardware sales we are now into stocks. Thats hardcore.

[labaronx]

Microsoft stocks have been dropping lately due to the severe problems with Windows Vista that still haven't been fix. Their Zune is still in a losing battle with Apple's Various IPOD dispite offering pretty good services like unlimited downloadsfor $25 bucks a month. The RROD is still costing them money. They cut 5000 jobs from the gaming department.
Now all the money Sony lost in the past year, only about 11 percent could be contributed to the PS3. Majority of that has come from other factors Like, Sony still has the most expensive non gaming laptops on the market starting at $800 while Dell, Gateway, and HP have laptops of the same value at half the price. But the most taxing resource Sony has been working on is OLED technology which they own the patent for. How costly is this tech? At sonystyle.com an 11 inch OLED moniter is starting at $2400 dollars or 3 47 inch Vizio LCD screens.

Like I said before Sony and Microsoft are both having financial problems but I would bet more on a new Playstation of a new Xbox.

[DFresh]

Getting worse that's hella funny.
Have they not seen the game line up coming out this year for the PS3 or the new technology Sony has to offer.
If anything 360 has the worse line up this year.

[NipGrip]

The anti-PS3 folks even *find* this crap? Has to be guerrilla anti-PS3 crap from MS marketing, just HAS to be.

[GEESE]

That the 360 fanboys are sad, insecure angry little failures.
PS3 is doing fine. Will do fine, is not going anywhere and you know it.
Deal with it losers.

[Pleth]

How much is MS losing in attorney fees in Europe right now? Sony is the parent company for so many different entities, they will weather this recession. EVERYONE is taking hits. I do love my 360 but I have had to buy 5. I'm still on my first PS3 and I play them the same amount. Is this figured into equations when "total number of units" are tallied? I will gladly by both systems but MS strong suit is LIVE and once PSN get's there things are going to drasticaly change.

[GUNKILLA]

just shut up and watch the (HIPHOP GAMERSHOW ) that explains every thing what is happing in the world ps3 is far from dieing ... if sony sells 200.000 ps3 at $399 or $299 and the 360 sells 300.000 consels at $199 whis brand is making the most money sony will is and thats just npd sales in japan ps3 is out selling 360 . in eruope the ps3 is out selling 360 .. GTA 5 has more that a 70% chance of becomeing a first party game for the ps3...devlopers have said they are going to start tacking advange of blu ray so if it cant be done on the 360 it will simpley have to be down graded because they can onley go up to 2 dvd discs for the 360 wich = 14 gd worth of space not that much realy is it agains a 50gb disc up to a 100 gb disc . and rockstar have 3 firstparty games comeing for the ps3 ... sony are droping the price of the ps3 in spring ..,. hybrid blu rays are comeing out on the ps3 that means say a game like harry potter or wanted that will come out with the film and the game on the disk at 1080p so that will be class .. to find out more go to this site http://www.hiphopgamershow.... .. he nose what he is talking about ..... peace

[The_Zeitgeist]

Screw hiphopgamer!
Spam!

[rekonizakilla]

Harry Potter? Grow some balls

[cmrbe]

but suppliers for x360 and wii parts are not affected?.

Are people really this stupid nowdays?.

[Trebius]

If the PS3 at the end of this year is not outshining the 360...

I will lick a dog's ass on youtube... -_-

Thats how confident I am! Someone document this!

[BrianC6234]

This is funny. All these great articles about how the 360 is in trouble because it's looking old so I guess some Xbot had to make up this lie. Nice try but it isn't true.

[The_Zeitgeist]

Look at their source link dude. Read the whole article. This article is fact. The gamingfront article looked over the LCD TV suppliers because they are a videogame website. They took the news that was relevant to their sites subject. Sony fans are like girls PMSing.

[LinuxGuru]

Unbelievable.

To the writer of the article:

YOU ARE A FLAMING FUD ARTIST. GO AWAY.

[Morgue]

All of the 360 hardware is made in my kitchen and packed with love, it may not be fully cooked but it's still edible. Everyone is being affected by the economy right now, I work in the adult industry and we're hurting right now.

[picoso36]

...then maybe this schlock could be believable.

[ranma6899]

so you see microsoft go down you watch ,sony in another country so they maike make its like se trying get into usa they go down next look all shops going down

[wiizy]

haha both systems are doomed. sony is doomed to last place though. peasants respect your leader...bow to wii

[AliC]

I find these articles strange, Sony post results that they are making a loss, likely due the Economic downturn that's affecting a lot of company's, they lay off a few people and suddenly its the end of the PS3

Microsoft lays of people for reconstruction (usually an attempts to balance the books), and suddenly people forget days later?

Whats with all this Sony hate? Sony don't just sell PS3's there making losses as a whole from other divisions and this has nothing to do with the cost of the PS3.

[Droid Control]

Made for chavs by a chav about chavs.

Why does anyone take anything some dude who writes a blog as gospel? It's just some wannabe hack sitting at his computer desk at his mom and dads house pretending to be a "journalist".

[SpartanGR]

It's getting worse for all of you anti-Sony freaks.

[Dogswithguns]

You guys have got some really funny avatars.lol
....oh, what? Whatabout Sony?!

[xg-ei8ht]

The world is doomed.

Global warming is worse then people thought.

Once the permafrost melts, it's game over.

In other news.

PS3 is Doomed all over again.

[Droid Control]

... they have hoodies and large pants...

[electricgta]

lol, this is the same site that just published the 360 - clearly leading in europe..

ITS BULLSHIT THEY'RE ONLY LEADING BY 1 MILLION!! sony caught up amazingly lol
especially that the 360 was out 16 months before ps3 and is alot cheaper..

[maverick1191]

tbh its MS getting worse this year as know one knows what they are doing and have no games coming out this year will be a year to own a ps3 rather than a xbox only because of ps3 has all the games coming out

[Foxgod]

MS sales are up 33 % from last year, Sony's sales are 25 % down from last year.

How is MS doing worse exactly ?

[Obama]

The 360 also has a 33% failure rate. Coincidence???

[L-a-i-n]

I believe Sony is doing the right thing keeping the product at home. Unlike Nintendo and Microsoft outsourcing to China they are keeping money in Japan as they should. It might raise your over all price but it makes sure your products are of the best quality. Chinese made parts are crap. Most of the time the product breaks. If you have a psp from launch compared to the psp a year later you will notice the quality went down when they outsourced the screen to china. I think all companies need to work on keeping money in their own country. I would easily buy a product that I know is going to be of the best quality over some outsourced piece of crap.

[LukeTheBadguy]

Read your box it is also made in china Idiot

[L-a-i-n]

Wow, you sure are mature aren't you!

[SprayandPreycom]

everyone at this site labels you as a troll mods ban your account for 24 hours you lose all your bubbles and someone calls you monkey butt poo well what can you expect its the internet.... im gonna go play an mmorpg on my pc oh whats that oh yeah its something neither the so called master of gaming sony dosnt have and what the 360 dosent even want to talk about rofl sony+360 mmorpg = fail ...

[xerox]

I love when fanboys take FUD articles as the gospel truth.

[Austin_SJ]

sigh, I don't know why I even bother to read this stuff anymore.

[shaunempire]

What kind of article do you really expect from a xbox fanboy site? Useless. It's sad that any dork with a computer can throw up a site and pretend to know anything about something..

[XxOsIIruSxX]

HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT MICROSOFT LAYING OFF 5000 PEOPLE!HOW MANY SONY LAYOFF 0!SO WHO REALLY IS DOING BETTER

[KingJames1906]

Sony claims to be laying off 8000. Not to mention Sony is posting a overall 95% loss and 12% loss in the gaming division in 2008. Also, Sony's stock price has fallen over 50% in the last 6 months. Look it up.

negative Sony/PS3 article out. What a surprise. *sarcasm*

[ELite_Ghost]

it's getting worse for every console... this article is just bashing ps3 for no reason.

[thematrix1298]

I suppose 360 is not made during this recession? brought from future? gosh you PS3 downers really need to get a life!!!

[Voiceofreason]

Poor fanboys..No wonder Sony is in last palce with no signs of catching up.. You cant stop defending it long enough to enjoy it.. Article is talking about just the PS3 but look at all the Sony fanboys that can talk about nothing but. Just pathetic. And the level if ignorance from Sony fans is highly amusing.. why is GTA4 640p on PS3 and 720p on 360 if PS3 is superior? Love to see an actually solid reason for that but I already know not one Sony fan can provide one other than their personal opinion. \

Sony is in trouble folks. No amount of crying or spin can change that. However there is a difference between Sony is in trouble and Sony is going under. They will hit hard times but stop assuming that everyone expects them to go under. Why do Sony fans take a simple comment to extremes? Someone posts an article and in typical Sony fanboy fashion you guys take what is said, blow it out of proportion and then talk about it like it was said that way all along.. Just pathetic.

[STONEY4]

"why is GTA4 640p on PS3 and 720p on 360 if PS3 is superior?"

Because Rockstar decided to do that, it has nothing to do with either console being superior. Besides, it can still upscale to 720p and 1080p. Although native 1080p would have been much better, at least it's something.

[Anon1974]

Every time I see you you're trolling and name calling because you're not smart enough to actually debate the issue at hand, and despite being called on it numerous times you're still doing it.

What do you disagree with in this article? What are Sony supporters doing that you take issue with? Most of the posts I see are people being critical of Sony's fans when they haven't actually done anything, and Sony fans understandably being a bit defensive. How about you try commenting on the article for once. Here, I'll show you how it's done.

True, times are tough right now but most economists are predicting we see positive economic growth in the 2nd half of 2009. That being the case, I think it's premature to predict that parts suppliers are ready to abandon ship while Sony is just starting their restructuring and with an economic turn around in the works. Microsoft went through similar problems with the 360 last year and lost one of the biggest 360 makers over it but they survived.

See how it's done?

[NJShadow]

Wow, GamingFront just keeps going lower and lower. They try and drive hits through shock value and rumors, oh, and of course these ridiculously misleading titles. If any admins on GamingFront are reading this, this dimwit Omodis is killing your site with this crap...

[omodis420]

NJSJADOW fails to mention why he hates me so much. When gamingfront.net broke the story about leaked PS4 specs NJSHADOW tried to steal the story and not give credit to us. I contacted his sites head guy and told him about this and I was given an apology. NJSHADOW is just mad because I rated him out and he got a slap on the wrist.

Don't be jealous because gamingfront.net is on a role.

[NJShadow]

I edited this comment as this kid just can't handle it...

[NJShadow]

Oh yeah also, editors like this, like the one who posted this story, is the reason why stories pop up on N4G with titles like "What Makes Someone A Gaming Journalist" and "Just Because You Like Video Games, Doesn't Make You A Gaming Journalist". You disgrace the art...

[STLiens]

think that when a console is failing that its the end of that particular company.....Do you think that MS and Sony depend on console sales make up the majority of thier income? The answer is NO.

[MicroSony4Life]

with wanting consoles to fail. I am a little surprised to see the PS3 in 3rd place, being a huge PS2 fan and saw the impact that the PS2 had on that generation and i was excepting the same with the PS3 and maybe it will happen just not a fast as i thought it would.

Sony could not have said it better what does there console have that we dont have. The PS3 is on another level compared to the Wii and 360 and I thought that the 360 was the next DreanCast, but yet the 360 manage to hang in there. Which brings me to my other point, is Microsoft here to stay, I mean think about it. Lets say this year is the year of the PS3 and Microsoft manage to fall in 3rd. Is Microsoft just going to give every thing they worked for up.

The same goes for Sony, do you really think Sony will drop out of the console market because the PS3 isn't selling good. If this year isn't the year of the PS3, that does not matter to Sony because they will find ways to make due, like eliminate wireless which isn't a bad thing.

[GUNKILLA]

ive tiped all that up so u can talk about it because its all true not to talk about chavs and hiphopgamer i was just saying he dose say some gd true sheit lol .

[TriforceLightning]

I have offered up olive branches in the past but I now see the error of my ways as articles of this nature will never go away.This piss and poo contest of consoles will never end.Fanboys will never learn.What we need is a way to settle this once and for all.Maybe a cross platform MMOFPS that allows console vs. console vs. console play.Just a suggestion.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

I smell MS Paod trolls using FUD Tactis once again LOL\
GOD 3!!! deal with it

[tonywood]

Yea, Sony is in deep doo-doo. If you listen to the U.S. ran report on game systems/hardware sold...Sony sucks! Only 200,000 PS3's compared to 300,000 360's. (Jan. numbers)

Do the math noobs.....210,000 x $399.00 = 837,900.00 (PS3)
300,000 x $299.99 = 899,970.00 (360) Using these models as the price points. Does NOT include world wide numbers...which the PS3/PS2/PSP is doing most of it's damage.

Keep up with me noobs, 100,000 PS2's and 100,000 PSP's also sold in Jan. LOOK AT THE REVENUE!! All this BEFORE the $299 PS3 (and of course, Killzone 2).

Sony is doing just fine....haters. NOW, the 360 however...that's another story. barley outselling a more expensive system even at $199 for the arcade....still can't outsell the graphically and quality inferrior Wii. Watch what happens when the PS3 goes to it's lower price point. This article is garbage....no quality sources and littered with "word games". Ps3 will once again be the household name in not only America, but the entire would. NOTICE HOW WORLD WIDE NUMBERS ARE HARDLY EVER USED ON THIS SITE?

[FF7numbaone]

wrong the 360's goes for 200. Every1 know that the arcades sell alot of units. Dont try to spin the truth. you do the math. 200 x 300,000. if your gonna troll, troll properly.

[FF7numbaone]

Only read the first paragraph when the above statement was written. damn, n4g wont let me edit,

[aiphanes]

Most people by the Premium Xbox 360...they want the harddrive...Dell.com has been selling them (xbox 360 premiums) for $240...and selling PS3 80gb models for $320 since christmas...

Once the PS3 drops to $299 in April...dell will probably be selling them for $240 each on special...

[lamigol]

Even if I didnt own a PS3 I would still consider SONY as one of the elite electrical manufacturers. They are expensive because in this world, you get what you pay for. Do you really think a company like SONY will ever be in real trouble. They have so many fingers in so many pies its untrue. They are one of THE most recognisable brands in the world for gods sake. X360 owners wish they had a SONY tv to play their games on but will not pay for quality, after all, they have a cheap alternative games console so are obviously not going to buy into the SONY brand. XBOX 360 owners are the equivalent of a boy racer, big , loud ugly machine. PS3 is refined like a Ferrari

[NJShadow]

I agree big time. Not in a fanboyish way, but yeah. When I shop for high-end electronics i.e. TVs, radios, camcorders, etc. I tend to go with Sony. They just have that extra quality touch.

[Jaces]

I usually prefer Samsung but that's just me.

>.>

<.<

[NJShadow]

@14.2

Different strokes for different folks. I mean, I think Sony is excellent, but that doesn't mean it can't be beaten in some instances. I know Sharp (perhaps in your opinion Samsung) is giving Sony a heck of a run for it's money when it comes to TVs. Although I must say, in my honest opinion, Sony HD TVs look the best.

[Jaces]

I really only went with Samsung cause when I was growing up back at home that's about all I saw in what electronics we had.

I know Sony is doing great it's just with Samsung I feel more comfortable. haha, it's a bit odd.

[LukeTheBadguy]

Hey dumbass read your box made in china like everything else

[ReBurn]

So if you get what you pay for is that $100 HDMI cable better than the $5 one I've been using? Because that $5 one works really, really well.

[Ghyst]

Ps3 is doomed again, ohhhh noooo, i'ts going to disappear for the 156th timeeee, it's gonna fail for the 1523523 timeeess sony's doomeedddddd.

/sarcasm

Does someone with 10 accounts approve ps3 is doomed articles every night around 10? That's exactly what it seems like. what kind of loser has that much time on their hands...

Oh that's right, someone with a 360, and alot of free time, since they don't have any games coming out, lol. poor bastards.

[maverick1191]

the matrix

pop goes a bubble

[TriforceLightning]

Is this article purely flamebait or is there an underlying truth.While it is true that Sony has stepped up their 1st party development with the PS3 and introduced the world to Blu Ray.Is this really a good thing for the gaming community as a whole.True HD gaming but at what cost.Too high in my opinion.Sony may sell more consoles each month than its nearest competitor but it loses more on the back end due to high production costs.Which in turn scares off most third party developers.A less than reasonable price point plus lack of software does not a sucessful console make.I don't see Sony advancing above third place until the release of the "new Xbox" which won't be until 2010.Sony will weather this storm but it might be worse for wear next console cycle if their trends outlast their creator.God help them if Nintendo ever gets their money grubbing hands on Blu Ray/HD technology.

An olive branch is a many splendored thing;
When opinions clash, fat ladies sing.

[KingJames1906]

bubbles for you.

[ReBurn]

Heh...flamebait.

You have to love the translation engine, especially when it says things like: "Supply chain can be difficult for Sony said the pain in my heart."

[DeejayTai]

I now see the closer the KILLZONE release date gets, the BS 'so-called' articles appear more frequently. It's like trying to stop a damn tsunami-no matter what you do or say, KZ's gonna kick azz. Probably set a sales record.
You guys had your turn with all the great games 360 had over the past few years, but the game scene is barren right now. PS3's gonna smash with a sh!tload of long-awaited EXCLUSIVE games and you get to play....
well, play Gears for the 469th time (if the 360 hasn't scratched it up yet that is).
IT'S OUR TURN, DEAL WITH IT!

[NoBullsh1t]

Are far more superior then most come to understand. They will probably use this to make more money. They are entrepreneurial geniuses!

Still sounds like hate from a "No money poor Xbot fanboy"

[rawd]

But who's going to save the PS3?
Who's going to save Blu-ray?

[Cure]

LOL at the title of this thread. omg that made me laugh out loud.

i didnt even bother clicking to read the article because if thats the heading of it

then i know itll be a stupid article

[ReeBlock]

ps3 is a better machine. i own both so im no fanboy. i could care less who prefers what, but with the ps3 you get more for your money -point blank. which ever console offers the most,that the one i favor. the original xbox killed the ps2 in terms of raw power and no one can honestly deny that. but the 360, imo, just cant hold up to the ps3. disagree all u want, so what. PEACE!!!!!!!!!

[bewrong666]

why is it that n4g is full of crap like this :P and this is one of the hottest news? geez. with real exclusives coming to the ps3 how can anyoneeven claim such a thing :p
