All three companies have lost their mind. Last gen we got enjoyable games for reasonable prices and great graphics for that era.
Now this one. We get $400+ gaming machines and an oddball with GC graphics claiming to appeal to non-gamers.
Xbox 360- Nothing new from last gen. You can play your PS2, GC, or Xbox 1 and have a far more enjoyable time than playing cookie cutter games on the 360. I mean where is the next gen feel? Every game that plays on the 360 plays exactly the same on a last gen console. Only difference is that the graphics are shinier but eventually your eyes tire of them. Not to mention franchises such as Fight Night, NBA Street, Def Jam, and many are just worse than the previous gen games. Not to mention the faulty hardware that breaks on you after paying $400+. I dont care about some warranty because I play consoles for longer than 3 years and still collect games for it. So it is guarnteed that after 3 years, your 360 will break and MS will be coming up with a new console. Pathetic.
PS3- Unbelivably high price with no games worth playing, losing exclusives, Blu Ray is shoved down your throat. Too much unneccesary stuff not needed for your gaming experience. May have a bright future or crumble in shambles.
Wii- Suckage to the max. Last gen graphics. The controller has not really shocked the world like with the 64 analog stick. Utterly pointless. Nintendo is giving up their true fanbase for people who play Internet Checkers and Mind Puzzle games on their computers. Same old tired franchises. Kart, Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc. Nothing new.
Face it, gaming is going in a downhill. With unreasonably high prices and consoles that break down after paying hard earned cash, people dont like being scammed.The software and hardware sales may last for a while but in the long run, it will be worthless. The previous gens were a lot better as you got quality gaming for perfect prices.

You are missing the point of the PS3. Its a multi-media do-it-all. Blu ray is not shoved down your throat. Its there in anticipation of the next big media format. If you don't like all the features of the PS3, then its not for you, and don't buy it. Its not solely a gaming machine, thats the point. The hardware companies are trying to corner certain areas of the videogame market. The buyers of the PS3 are gamers who have been playing games on Sony systems for over a decade. As they get older they aren't just looking for a videogame system. Chances are they play games less than they used to. However, a gaming machine that can do everything else is still appealing to them. The wii is for kids, look at the game library, the shoddy graphics , and interactive wiimote. The 360 is for grade school and high school kids, with all the online capabilities, friends lists, and achievements. Of course all the systems have appeal across all demographics, it would be stupid for the companies to ignore entire groups of consumers. But its obvious that each system caters specifically to certain gamers.
