I disagree the PS3 at this point is worth it's price, and has some incredible games, with some unmissable games in 2010 and onwards.

You shouldn't. However this is negative PS3 PR at its blatant worst. PS3 is still to pricey, at 250? With more features out of the box than the direct competitor? Right.

The only thing disappointing about the PS3 is the hype it has, it hasn't lived up to it, otherwise it's a decent system, but a great system...:lol:

Maybe next year it will actually be as great as people say it is.

What he said. The PS3 has more features and offers the gamer more than what the PS2 did at the $299 price tag.

This article sounds about 2 years outdated.

If it sounded biased 2 years ago then its certainly utter bullcrap today.

Well it was posted on several gaming media sites, yesterday. Don't know about the article though. How can it be 2 years outdated, when 2 years ago the PS3 was 600 here in the UK?

Anyone who is complaining about a game system that is the same price that the 360 has been for years, with more freefeatures out of the box, with an incredible library of exclusives, reliable hardware, and a built in Blu-Ray player, I'd say anyone complaining about the price tag needs to be more of a Gamer, and less of a fanboy...

I always find it very humorous what a single person decides to assume everyone else has the same opinions. I'm a gamer and I'm very happy with my PS3.

PS3 had a kickass year... this year.

On topic, this guy is an idiot. If anything, gamers are a disappointment to the PS3, not buying all the fantastic exclusives.

Even though it's completely opinion based. Personally, for me I'm inclined to agree.

The only game which made its debut in 2009 I played on my 360 this year besides XBLA titles is Forza 3.

What a load of crap. I've been more happy than with my PS3 tan 360. The PS3 is a great console, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So it won on exclusives? Fair enough, i dont disagree. But remind me, how does winning on exclusives = winning the year? I didnt think so...

Yeah, I am soooo dissapointed with my PS3:roll:

I mean, I have to put up with the likes of having endless fun playing MGS4, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Ratchet Future, Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, God of War Collection, and InFamous. Look at what Sony has done to me as a gamer:cry:

I wasn't going by seperate years, I was going by how good it is overall in all years, it has less AAAEs and AAEs than the 360, something is wrong. And every game I brought is an exclusive except for 2 games, and both multiplats were superior versions too.

Well, exclusives are games. Isn't that the most important aspect of winning a year...besides sales. So PS3 did quite good?

Also - your signature is freaking disturbing.

I agree about the games. BUT lets not forget that theres a world of games outside of exclusives :roll: The 360 got 102 AAA,AA,A games this year (according to GS) whereas the PS3 got 85 AAA,AA,A games this year.

Then I suppose the quality of those exclusives does not matter either, correct? Last time I checked, they all scored fairly well. So, I guess I am just calling a spade a spade here. The PS3 had more quality games this year that are only available on PS3. If it was just a bunch of mediocre exclusives they released, I would be inclined to agree with you, but such is not the case. Therefore, if it is indeed all about the games when all is said and done, what did the 360 and Wii have that trumps the PS3 exclusive line-up this year?

All I'm saying is that most people on here will never play all 102 AAA/AA/A 2009 360 releases (for that matter most probably won't play all of the 85 AAA/AA/A PS3 releases, either). Citing the number of AAA/AA/A games is great, but I don't see how it's relevant, because nobody buys that many games in one year.

why bothering wz an opinion of a non gaming newpaper??, the PS3 sales doubled, the software sales are very good, the customers are satisfied more than anytime in the last 3 years, PS3 won 2009, games wise and probably sales wise (no Wii plzzz).

i wonder at what basis they are claiming that.

Citing the number of AAA/AA/A games is great, but I don't see how it's relevant, because nobody buys that many games in one year.

Its relevant because it shows the 360 received more A+ games this year than the PS3. I mean sales don't directly affect us either yet we still discuss them. It doesn't matter if we play them all or not.
