Words of hope for the many frustrated PS3 owners

I've been coming to this site since 2003. I usually just read without ever posting. Lots of negative stuff on here lately, regarding PS3. I bought one on launch day, & I admit that things could be better.....but I remember back when I bought PS2 a month after it launched. That was November 2000. I got Madden 01 & some lame game called Orphen. I'm an RPG/Action/Adventure gamer. I love Madden, that's basically the only sports game I really get deep into. Orphen was so bad, I returned it the very next day. In Jan. 01, I picked up NBA Live. Needless to say Madden & Live both suffered badly from that 1st Gen disease. I continued to play PS1 games all the way until November of 2001. I didn't buy another PS2 game until Metal Gear Solid 2 came out. Between Nov 01 - Jan 02 I picked up MGS2, GTA3, & Final Fantasy X. What I'm trying to help you understand is that it really does take time. I estimate 1 year to 18 months into a console's life beforegreat games start rolling out. Not to mention I also got a 360 on launch day. Due to the lack of a high end TV at the time, the 360 was sold to a friend later the same day. Anyone that has owned a 360 from the start, can tell you that M$'s toy had very limited games for many months. Trust me, PS2 was sh*t that first year. Dreamcast had so many more games at the time. Take these words of encouragement, to just hang in there & see what happens. Try not to pass judgement too quickly. I can't remember a drought after that initial rough period came to pass. What's the worse that can happen anyway? Buy both systems if you need to. Hell, I always had 2, back since Snes & Genesis. We the consumers should wish that the 3 major companies do excellent. Competition keeps Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo on their toes to deliver the best products to us.

lol, the only word of hope for us: WAIT

Anyways, June 26th people! NG:Sigma!!!!! WoOt!

NOWADAYS PEOPLE DON'T HAVE PATIENTS.. ITS ALL ABOUT GIVE ME NOW... PEOPLE EXPECT TO WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING AND FIND A LIBRARY OF NEW GAMES OR DOWNLOADS OR WHATEVER EVERYDAY! JUST GET A LIFE PEOPLE!gamedudeorino

I disagree entirely! Doctors are over-crowded with PATIENTS to the point where medical bills are almost unpayable. Healthcare funding drops each and every....

Oh, you didn't mean that....I see.....

lol...agreed!!!

I agree and think that wait is almost over with E3 2007 we should be seeing some good games coming out around now [Rainbow Six]and Sept. Unless they change the release dates of most of the games.

MY BAD. SPELLING FIXED! LOLgamedudeorino

Just bugging ya dude.

I completely agree. Sometimes I think that all the oh-no-my-six-month-old-system-doesn't-have-six-years-worth-of-games people are all too young to remember other launches. It's nothing new though, and I'm tired of all the complaining (both here and on the Wii forum).The_Pig_Hostage

What people apparently don't seem to realize though is that they do have six years worth of games. Go buy some PS2 games that you never got the chance to beat before. That's what I'm doing. All those PS2 games that I couldn't afford at the time and are now $9.

If you can't find a Playstation game that you want to play, then you really didn't want a Playstation. lol

Buying a system early and then complaining is very lame imo.People should wait until there are a bunch of games to make them happy instead of expecting them all to be there. You bought the darn thing , blame yourselves and don't cry on message boards.

I wonder if there are any complainers in this thread. Oh , I see one. Hahahaha , you know who you are.

Your precisely right my friend!!! great post.,. the same thing happened with the ps1, and more importantly the ps2.. which I can remember vividly. I bought a ps2 right away and had the same drought that is ongoing with the ps3.. it just takes time...

Whoa..um have you taken a stroll into the 360 forums? Just curious because they all seem to think 360 has had killer apps since it first came out.

I was never frustrated with my PS3. I know the games will come and when they do I'll be happy as I'm happy now with my PS3.

Four Words : Ninja Gaiden sigma , LAIR !

The wait is over...
