The thing is that the PS3 is not the PS2 and if history has taught us something is that each gen starts from 0. Or else how do you think the PS1 went over the N64? Back in the day Nintendo was the supreme ruler of the industry u know and things has changed a lot since then too. The Xbox shaped the market with the online and then the Wii made the gimmicks popular. There was no way for Sony to adapt this fast, specially when the X360 already sold like 10 millions in its first year and it already had a library of games like: "Tomb Raider Legends" and "Call of Duty 2" that never made it out to the PS3 because it was 1 year late.

PS3 lacked games, gimmicks, an online infrastructure and an affordable price point. The market was totally different from the days of the PS2 but they learned fast. Sony didn't waste time to close that gap like Nintendo did with the N64 and GC and that's why I think that they are fine.

Well said.... Considering the beating they have still done well.

hmmm favorite cow logic right now. ""LOL next xbox will be kinect only casual crap"" Odd I would think no since the next generation starts at 0 but that logic Gue1 pointed out doesn't seem to apply to non sony systems.

[QUOTE="jsmoke03"]

cant sw come to an agreement based on facts provided instead of constant damage control?

hardware sales should be easy enough-

  1. ninty
  2. 360
  3. ps3

software sales

  1. 360
  2. ps3
  3. wii

game library-look at metacritic...but last i checked ps3 had the highest average score

handheld

  1. ninty
  2. psp/vita

reach3

I highly doubt that the Wii is last in Software sales.

try again cow. we dont use metacritic here. 360s AAA exclusive average is far higher than ps3s

first off im not a cow, i don't do fanboy....and second average it out on gs...i don't care...i just don't care for damage control talk from any of you fanboys
