Despite popular belief, PS3 is a great system for gamers.

Just had to make a post to show some love for the PS3. With gloomy predictions and Ravid sheep and lemmings saying it's doom, some people might actually think PS3 is just as bad as the original Xbox. I just want to show people what you'll be getting this gen with the PS3 wither you pay for it at $600 or waiting for that price cut to land in your price range.

You still think the PS3 is a non factor in the console war? I don't care if you can't afford a $600 machine. I don't care if you never get a PS3. Don't let your no/low income or shallow price value stop you form saying that PS3 is a great console for gamers. They should rename the PS3 to "The Beast" because what is offering is amazing. The justification for the PS3 is there people. Wither you want one at $600, $500, $400, or $300 the PS3 offers the best for gamers and casuals abroad than any other console. This is Living!

360 will easilly be at 20.000.000 by 2007 end, the best games are yet to come

PS3 is a factor, better than Wii of course, but without any games until deep in 2008, so noone pays any attention now, i expect FF13 and MGS4 will move some more PS3, Sony will not cancel it, it iwll sell to some people loyal, but would never stand against Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Bioshock, Mass Effect 1-2-3, Too Human, ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Cry On, Alan Wake combined

You don't? Well that was a waste of good effort then.

Well, I'm not here to convince people into actually going to a store and pick up a PS3. I'm here to defend a great system that gets bash constantly for no *good* reason. People should take off their fanboy glasses and see that PS3 is here to stay, and will be just as great as the PS1 and PS2.

Someone give me a stronger word than delusional, please? With this guy, delusional is an understatment. 

Seems like to me the same kind of optimism is deserved by all consoles this gen. Now naturally this is system wars and that kind of logic has no place here, but I don't really see any more people bashing the PS3 these days than any other console. With so many people here in system wars each one gets more than their fair share of time in the hotseat.D0013ER

Wait...so you think PS3, Xbox360, and Wii get equal amount of bashing on SW? Look at the first 3 pages dude... 

I don't care for a billion multi-media features, but I see you included games in there too (Many of them are multiplat). Otherwise I just don't see a reason to get a PS3 unless you're a die hard for a certain series exclusive to the PS3. It just doesn't have a good game that immediately interests me like other games on the Wii/360. Besides the occasional gem, the library of games is probably always going to be smaller due to hardware complications. Plus, most multiplats are/will be better on other platforms.

At this point I have no reason to want a PS3 and due to my previous experience with Sony, probably won't ever want one.Saturos3091

Thanks for stopping by.

As much as I hate to admit it, I've been frequenting system wars for quite awhile, and anytime someone puts up a " _____Will destory ____" or "10 reasons why ____ will win/won't win/is great/sucks ass", the thread never fails to reach 10+ pages with people willing to argue over it, regardless of the console they're talking about. So yes, on the whole I think for every rabid fanboy out there, there's one from the other two camps ready to fight it out. The PS3 isn't being picked on.

Socrates and the Ps3 have something in common

P.s. Welcome back KeyWii

That may be the case now but it wasn't always this way. If you were here pre-360 launch then you remember how much grief the lemmings took. Its just that there was a massive cow exodus after E3 05 and they are just now returning to defend the PS3.

Back on topic. The PS3 is an excellent console and will be a serious contender this gen. For now, though, I can't justify the purchase until exclusives arrive that provide a significantly different gaming experience than that which is available with the 360. That being said, though, I have every intention of purchasing one in the not too distant future.

Excellent example. NO ONE was willing to give the 360 quarter in the months before and just following its launch, and for the most part the flak was well deserved.

What does everything but the games have to do with "being good for gamers?"foxhound_fox

As a gamer. I like the fact I can use Linux on the PS3. I'm a huge fan of MAME, MUGEN, and old console emulators. I play MAME more than any PS3 game I have right now except VF5. Bluetooth headsets goes with chatting with your gamers online. Wi-fi for online gaming and downloading games to your PSP. I use firefox on Linux to download my Mame and emulator's roms to the PS3. Home is a great addition to forming a gaming community with your PS3. These features are great to gamers. Don't act as if an 8 button controller and a game is all a gamer need. If that was the case, XBL would be overrated.

Why do you think Ninja Gaiden 2 is going to be a 360 Exclusive? I'd say it has a greater possibility of being a PS3 Exclusive than 360. Although, it will probably be Multiplatform... The reason I think this is because Sigma is viewable in 1080p, wouldn't they want the sequel to look equal to if not better than the original?

So in trying to convince us that the PS3 is great for gamers, you proceed to tell us all about Blu-Ray movies and internet browsers?ithilgore2006

Oh yes! No need for me to mention about the games, Home, and online content form the PS Store. You right, I shoulve put that in there... 

You're like the white chad wardenn lol...Kojak8888

I don't get it?

Excellent post by the tc,the main reason why people bash the Ps3 is because they simply can not afford it,I remember when I was 12 I used to complain about the price of a car,now that I have one,I realize I was foolish to do so.Dualshockin

I'm sure plenty of people can afford it; that the system's done so well despite the price tag should be proof of that.  The problem is many people just don't want to spend $600 on a game console.   Why is $600 the last straw for most people instead of $400 or $300? I have no idea.  But everyone's got a maximum limit they're willing to spend before cost begins to eclipse value (in their eyes) and it appears as if the PS3 has passed this limit.

100% agree. However, the notion of "PS3 is doing terrible", "PS3 is dead", and many other downing comment on the PS3 sends out mix messages to consumers. They telling people a $400 console is worth it, and a $600 console is not. It's like a Lexus is worth it, but a Rolls Royce is not.

360 can also do 1080p hd... for $120 less, HDMI cable included.

Blu-ray movies

You said gaming console, not video player...

PS Home

Ps home seems like a good idea, but the huge amount of advertising and possible predators on it scares me.

Wi-fi and Bluetooth technology

How does this enhance the gaming experience?

PS Store and Network

PS store looks good, but it isn't up to the level of XBL or VC. This will probably be a plus when you can download PS1 or even PS2 games on it.

 There's nothing out until 2008 that justifies the purchase of a ps3 besides maybe lair and Heavenly Sword.

If I wanted linux, I would have used a PC. For a console, it takes up precious RAM and hard drive space.

$600 for an inferior internet browser than my pc? I'll pass.

Exactly my point,people are looking at the price and not at the games,if they actually took the time to look at the games coming for the system,they would realize that the console not only has some of the strongest exclusives,but is also getting some of the strongest multiplats. Ninja Gaiden,Tekken,Ratchett,Jak&Daxter,Metal Gear Solid,Final Fantasy,Grand Theft Auto,God Of War,Kingdom Hearts,and so much more.The Ps3 is in for the long run,and after 5 years,there'll be a very different picture than what we see now.Dualshockin

You're missing me.  I like games. I like to play them.  I am enticed by what the PS3 will offer down the road.  But I like money more, a whole lot more, in fact.  I'm a full-time college student working a 30hr/week part time job making about $150 a week.  $600 is a tough cookie to swallow for me, no matter how many amazing games it has.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

The PS3 indeed has some very high tech features and is full of great extras and for $600 for all of that sounds reasonable. But as a gamer the PS3 is too expensive to just play games. Most people who buy consoles do it to play games. And most of those features and games that are listed are available on the other consoles. As a gamer i don't really care about blu-ray movies and as for the disc space, it's not needed this generation. In RPG's with CGI cutscenes might need it but is disc swapping in those games really a big deal. PS home is a great idea but i wouldn't get a PS3 just for that alone. You do know that some of the game you listed are not exclusives, right?. The PS network is similar to Xbox live, the Wii has an internet browser. There is a reason why the PS3 is last place in terms of sales, people know what they are doing. As a gamer the PS3 is just too much money and i'm getting stuff that i will never use and suff that i already have. The PS3 appeals to super hardcore gamers only. The people who are tech junkies and get excited by brand new technology. And peole who can afford it.

I want to add something new to your comment, but everything you said it all ready mention in the original post. Since when did multiplatform games not a factor? That is some blindboy propaganda that scream exclusive only matters. Madden, COD, Resident Evil, and GTA are the most popular games sold than any exclusive game. This thread was not about PS3 > Wii, and Xbox360. It was a reminder that PS3 has everything a gamer needs.

Yes, the PS3 does have everything a gamer needs but it also has stuff that gamers don't really need. So it is a good machine for gamers but i'm just saying there are better choices out there.
