Subject: How To Kill A Brand (PS3 Parody)

Written By: bchris02 on 03/19/18 at 12:33 pm

Here's a bit of '00s nostalgia.  This song has aged horribly but if anybody remembers, despite the console's success later in its life cycle the PS3 had loads of problems at launch.  This captures how the 7th gen console wars were perceived ca. 2007.

Another interesting bit; when this song came out, we did not know yet what HD optical format would win out.  A lot of people assumed it would be HD-DVD and not Blu-ray.

I remember seeing this back in '08. Tbh some of it was still correct for the time. The Bluray optics made it one of the most expensive video game consoles ever made, and the library was nothing to write home about.

Also, Killzone 2    :P

Weird, because PS3 was hella more popular here than the XBOX 360. Although, there were a couple of kids with XBOXs.

Is 'here' the UK? Because if so, the UK was actually the country where Xbox 360 most outperformed the PS3. :o

In general, Xbox 360 did best in Anglophone countries while the PS3 did best in continental Europe and Asia.

From Wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_sales
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Sales_and_production_costs

For Xbox 360, 8 million sales in the UK as of February 2013
For Playstation 3, 5 million sales in the UK as of October 2012

The PS3 data is slightly older, but I doubt PS3 nearly doubled its sales over its 6th holiday season :P
