[QUOTE="Cow4ever"] Well we're talking about the best console of all time aren't we? So obviously we have to put them against each other not against their time. I'm sure all those consoles had a big library but the only one that comes close to PS3 in terms of quality is PS2 and it's pretty far from PS3 still. My opinion of course.charizard1605
I understand that it's your opinion, and I respect it, but you have to understand, that is not an argument that you can make or defend against anyone.Even if you were to look at best consoles of all time, you'd need to look at the stuff the systems brought to the table when they launched- sure, something like wireless controllers is considered standard now, but is it fair to expect it on a system that launched in 1991?- and on that count, again, the SNES, the PS2, the PS1 and perhaps most of all, the N64 have the PS3 beaten.
And as for the quality of game libraries, it depends on what you're looking for. The N64 has probably the greatest AAA titles to total games released ratio, and it has some of the most groundbreaking games of all time. The SNES represents the pinnacle of the 2D era. The PS2 wins by sheer numbers. The PS3 doesn't even chart on any of those parameters.
It's a great system, and my personal favorite from Sony (after the PSP, of course), but honestly, it wouldn't even be in the running for 'greatest console of all time.'
Well we're talking about two different things really. I am not talking about the impact the consoles have, only how good it is, and going from PS2 to PS3 was like from night to day the PS3 is just much much better in every way. Maybe the N64 etc was more influential but so was also maybe the T-Ford, still sucks compared to a Ferrari today (I don't know anything about cars so maybe that's a bad comparision). And take for example SNES I'm sure it was the pinnacle of 2D but right there you see how much more enjoyment you get from PS3 since well it's 3D and adds SO much to the games. So as I see it, it's really hard to compare consoles with each other AND compared to their time since there are so many different conditions to take into consideration. But compare them to each other and there's more to discuss. Games today are just that much more enjoyable IMO. I take Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Portal 2 games like that any day rather than the combined libraries of N64, PS2 etc games just have come so far, not only in graphics. I mean I played OoT both when it came out and just recently and both times it was a pain. And this I felt with alot of games. It's just with the PS3 I finally can truly enjoy a game. Sorry about no space, I tried to fix it but glitchspot doesn't work
