Is the PS3 even a video game console?

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]"it's only obvious that most of the PS3s that have been sold was because of it being a good BluRay player" Since the PS3 has sold 18 million, you're saying that at least 9.01 million were bought because it plays Blu-Rays. I'm sure you have proof of this, so let's see it.killerfist

Is the Xbox 360 a video game console? Or just a piece of junk that breaks down all the time?metalgear-solid

Resistance 1, 2, Killzone 2, God of War 3, FF: Versus XIII, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 1, 2, Metal Gear 4, Motorstorm 1, 2, Little Big Planet

Damn right it's a game console.

It's called marketing. Emphasizing multiple features helps to move the hardware.

Gaming is it's major function. Being in the Playstation brand, gaming is understood.

[QUOTE="Mckenna1845"]i don't think they have marketed it as a bluray player, maybe a launch, but now the only adverts on tv are for games.thegame1980

WRONG! Just the other night there was a new PS3 commerical SOULY advertising the PS3 as a movie machine. A guy gets one and his girlfriend sees it and says what is that and he says a new movie downloading machine. LOL!

Funny commercial actually.

... why buy a PS3 at all?Phazevariance

Which brings up another point, when the 360 plays almost all of ps3 games, AND more, and better, and its cheaper to buy a $150 Br player and $199 360, ... why buy a PS3 at all? Just go to the store and play MGS4 on the kioske, and get it out of your system, no need to 'waste' money on buying the super advacnedb luray slash gaming console player.Phazevariance

Bingo. That's the only reason to get a PS3, for 1st & 2nd party games, MGS4, better reliability, & Blu-Ray. What else has it got over the 360?

No it's not. Because after all, it doesn't play games, and didn't get a AAAAE and two AAAEs this year.

yes. thats why its has video games for it.munkeypoo45

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"]Yes, but they're just trying to advertise some of its other multimedia functions.MortalDecay

Technically many people could buy the ps3 and use it only as a media hub since its probably the best out there. If course as gamers we get both
