DeathofU question of the day????

I have had a revelation that I do not understand some gamers anymore? For example the pictures above of the people in Japan in line at the store. I saw the video at youtube and it goes at least 15-20 blocks. In front of the store it says PS3 are sold out go home. This is not only Japan how about my earlier post of people waiting outside at Bestbuy for PS3 in the states.

I would like to say I am confused. I have played the final PS3 and have to say it has about a year or more till it will be next gen software. Right now you have a first generation Xbox 360 with I would have to say a lower graphically software than the Xbox 360 a year ago. I am not saying in a year the PS3 and software vendors will find the full potential of the Cell Processor but definitely what I saw was not next gen.
So back to the lining up lets speak Japan first.

1. are they waiting for the next shipment.
2. I here Japan people have very busy lives????? But they can stay in line for nothing.
3. Get a 360 and the new Dragon game I think you will be far ahead.
4. The signs says sold out trust me the Qty I am hearing they are sold out.
5. PS3 is a year away from hardware and software be true next gen.

Bestbuy in states.

1. Lets say you are waiting to sell one on ebay. Lets say you get $1440 lets do the math.
1440.00
-640.00 price of unit and tax.
---------------
800.00
-100.00 ebay fees
-----------
700.00
now waiting in line for 10 days.
700.00
-200.00 going with mcdonalds twice a day.
------------------
500.00
now pray that ebay buyer is not going to rip you off

500/(24hours *10days)hope that manager said 5 not 3.
about $2 hour for your time.
I dont get it.
Spend time with your wife and family or play gears of war I do not get it.

2. Again Gears of War excellent scores at all the sites including here. First PS3 game scores 6.4 out of 10?
3. Again after playing the PS3 save your money for a year the software should be much better and price lowered. Trust me on that second part. Thats if Sony is still in the gaming biz.

I know I have rambled and if anyone can give me any input on waiting for stuff that is not that great or is not or may not be there for you after giving some much time of your life to it? I just do not get it. Some day trust me PS3 will be stacked like pyramids like the 360 are at your near by store. Remember that craziness a year ago about this time.
