It seems to me from all the people that I know who have PS3's, all owned PS2's and were relatively hardcore Sony fanboys. I know many more casual PS2 owners who switched to the Xbox 360, and what I find alarming is that most of them switched AFTER the PS3 came out. Of course, I also know that just about everyone I know also bought a Wii near launch, yet none of them play it anymore (except for my neighbor's 8-year old son). So I don't really care about who owns a Wii since we pretty much all do.

I know I am not who is targetted by the OP, but I only had a PS2 for a very short time (DRE and poor customer service) and I own a PS3 now.

I had never owned a Sony console until I bought a PS3 last October. I was all Sega, til they dropped the Dreamcast like a hot rock, then went to the Gamecube. Unfortunately the Wii didint live up to my expectations. But, the PS3 did!

Last gen I had an Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2. PS2 did get the most play time out of all those consoles though. I have more PS2 games(55), than Xbox games(24), and Gamecube games 18.

Stayed loyal and got a PS3 because of games like God of War, Ratchet, Jak and Daxter, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy, Dark Cloud, and Team ICO games would only be available on PS3 at some point in its lifespan. Yes FFXIII went multi, but without a doubt the PS3 version will overshadow the 360 version and it'll probably be better in some way and Vs. is still PS3 exclusive. I also bought my PS3 after my 360.

Last gen I had a Dreamcast, and we all know what happened with that... So then I went gamecube. One of the reasons I got the PS3 was to catch up on the big PS2 titles :D

translation: I bought a Ps3 for FF13 and now I'm using excuses to approve of my purchase?

I had all three consoles last gen and I favored the PS2. I went with the PS3 this gen because i figured it'd be more of the same.

Whoever didn't have a PS2 last gen isn't a real gamer. That doesn't mean Gamecube or Xbox were bad (I have an Xbox), but PS2 is one of the greatest consoles in history.

Period.

Then don't use it. It's against the ToS anyway. Signature images are limited to 50K. 15MB is freaking ridiculous.

PS3 doesn't play PS2 games so people will have o keep their PS2's regardless. Might as well buy a 360 seeing as it has a much better software library

You know there are some people who've got that elusive 60 gig?

Also, yeah the 80 gig is gimped, but it plays like 90% of PS2 games.

Cant get it in Europe (here I'm from) and the prices in America are ridiculous. Might as wellget a 360, 60gisg are impossible to find and Sony have phased out BC altogether.

Pshh blasphemy

Yeah they both share pretty bad game droughts. No doubt the PS3 will last longer. To be honest I bought one for 2010 and beyond. My 360 is getting my time for now.
