If you had to pick the biggest Dissapointment of 2006 no doubt it would be....

The Playstation 3.

  Sony had 2 legends the psx, followed by the ps2.  Now here comes this $600 box thats and all in one system that only the hardcore fanboys want.  On top of that add in only 2-3 games worth buying, a free but unimpressive online network, and a massive price tag and you have failure.

The PlayStation 3 may go down as the biggest flop in Videogame history.

For the Record:  I own a Wii and a 360.  I also liked the PS 2.

What's your point? They were out on the 360. They were worth buying. I have every one of them.

How about Lost Planet, Saints Row, Dead Rising, Call of Duty 2 and 3, GRAW 2? I own all of them.

Kameo? DoA 4? PDZ? PGR3? 

its till early all the good game are coming out in late 2007

 in june we get ninja gaiden sigma

after that we got warhawk, heavenly sword, lair, MGS4, 

 all pretty go0d stuff

If I had told a cow a year ago what was going to happen the first few months after the ps3 launch, they would have said that I was way off.  Let's face it, cows hyped this system to hell and it hasn't delivered on the hype.  The 360 costs $200 less, the Wii also costs hundreds of dollars less, yet those are the two systems that each have a AAA exclusive title?  Again, if I had told a cow that 7 months would go by and the ps3 would still be without a AAA exclusive, what would have been their response?

On top of that, some of the features that cows deemed as amazing are barely even talked about.  7 controllers is a flop, the browser is a flop, and motion sensing has not proved to be anything spectacular.  And bluray has yet to to add any major noticable differences in games. 

Neowin.net - Resistance PS3 Game Uses 22 Gigabytes of Blu-ray Disc

Resistance used 22 gigabytes...far more than GeOW...yet GeOW is considered the graphical spectacle for the next generation..and out-reviewed Resistance across the board. 

Maybe this is just me, but I find it a little bit odd that  a strong percentage of the games cows get excited for have already been released on the 360 months ago.  GRAW2, Oblivion, Fear, R6V, Fight Night...wtf?  $600 for old games?  And btw, DMC4, Virtua Fighter, Smackdown vs Raw on a MS console?  Reasons for shelling out $600 are fading fast.

Face it, so far the ps3 hasn't filled out the hype.  Maybe it will in the future...but only time will tell.  The only reason that Sony has sold as many ps3's as it has is brand loyalty......which is not reason enough for ME to buy a console.

No console has met it's hype.

Apart from (IMO) the 360. Mine has never broken or frozen or anything and boy that thing has some fantastic games. 

Zelda wasn't dissapointing. It was only this site who thought that, so naturally the Gamespot-zealots all followed on and agreed. It just wasn't as good as Ocarina, but then again what is?

Here are some *real* dissapointments:

• Sonic The Hedgehog [PS3, 360]
• Enchanted Arms [PS3, 360]
• The Godfather [multiplat]
• Black [PS2. Xbox]
• Far Cry Vengeance [Wii]
• Superman Returns [multiplat]
• Driver: Parallel Lines [PS2, Xbox]
• Need For Speed Carbon [multiplat]
• Just Cause [multiplat]
• Scarface: The World is Yours [multiplat]
• Ninety-Nine Nights [Xbox 360]
• Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII [PS2]
• Call of Duty 3 [multiplat]
• Pantasy Star Universe [PC, PS2, 360]
• Prey [Xbox 360, PC]

Well, since the numerous AA titles on PS3 is not worth buying, why should Xbox360 games should be? 

I agree that the biggest disappointment of 2006 was that there were only two games worth buying for my X360.

(Oblivion and Gears).

P.S. Tom Clancy games are crap.

P.S.S. So are tired WW2 shooters and lame sequels to lame racers.

ATI.  They've been lagging behind in the GPU market while Nvidia launches a brand spanking new amazing card series...  Pity when the R600 comes out, Nvidia will be on the 9x series...

That, and Resistance Fall of Man...

maybe because the "numerous" ps3 titles:

1. are less "numerous" than the 360's titles.

2. are not worth $650 + tax....

3. the majority of mulitplats look better on the 360, saving the gamers $200...:)

My biggest dissapointment of 2006 is the fast food attitude that society has. Also there are so many stupid fanboy wars currently going on that its lame. There are very little difference between most competing products yet stupid fanboys continue to act like 1 thing is vastly superior to the alternative. In reality most of these things are currently similar or will be a wash in the future. PS3/X360, Blu-ray/HDDVD, LCD/Plasma, Coke/Pepsi. Who cares. Quit trying to justify your purchase by running down the alternative. Or if it is so important to you budget properly and buy both.iwo4life

I see not everyone here is totally crazy.

There's a considerable difference between spirited and constructive debate and 12 year old level insults and insecure compensation for people who emotionally attach themselves to corporations and the innanimate machines they manufacture.

What you saying is, because Xbox 360 been out a year longer it should be the prefer choice to buy?

Please point out where I stated that AA titles on PS3 are not worth buying.

To me, Xbox 360, for the games that are currently out, isn't worth buying just yet. Same goes for the PS3 and the Wii.
Of course, the games themselves are worth buying if you have the console, the question is if the console is worth buying for the games. 

600 bucks for a few AA-titles simply doesn't cut it. Xbox 360 sure has one or two AAA titles, but I don't find them interesting enough to make it worth the purchase...it's simply a to each his/her own situation.

Because 360 has exclusice AA titles and most of all of the PS3 AA titles are better on 360. If cows are going to say why buy a 360 when all of its games are better on PC then what does that say for cows when most of the games are superior on the 360?

Yeah, makes perfect since if I was a supporter of the Xbox360. I mean whatever way you want to spin it. I don't care. I'm glad you happy now, because it going to get ugly later on...
