If you want to buy a PS3, buy it. If you don't want to buy a PS3, don't buy it.

If you're that afraid of the PS3 failing, then sure, don't buy it. I think the Wii could possibly fail sometime in the future, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get it now and play the games that are fun for me now.

If there are at least a few games out or at least announced that you want to get, and you think it's worth it to buy a PS3, then buy it...if people think like that, then PS3s will get sold and you won't have to worry about support. Unfortunately for Sony, that isn't the case, and many people don't see enough reason to get a PS3 currently.

Personally, I'd recommend a 360 or Wii, because 360 will be getting as many great games as PS3 for some time I'd bet, and the Wii is just awesome fun with tons of games coming out. 

that message brought to you by a jealous not one with reality wii fan.

best - action, stealth, rpg, racing, combat racing ON PS3

360 has halo... thats it, Wii has Nintendo kiddy games, thats it.

it must be hard for all of you, but like always Sonys consoel has the best games.

 Hus, you make me smile.

Buy a console based on games you WANT to play, that are available NOW. A console should NOT be a long term investment, that you have to plan for, thinking that something may could out in a year or two that you want to play.

There were some great games for the DC (esp. Soul Calibre), and I almost ended up with one.

None of the current gen consoles will "fail" - Im pretty certain the DC is the last console that will ever happen to (unless a new player enters the hardware market). 

As mentioned previously Games make a system successful.

NES destroyed all because it had a huge library.

SNES carried that banner.

PS1 took it, due to 3rd parties leaving Nintendo. Thus, they got the games and became the best selling.

PS2 carried that banner.

At this point it realy isn't clear. Presently it seems Wii has the best chance, however, even though I firmly believe that to be true, devs could drop it in favor of a high end multi-port scenario where PS3/360 would have the most games and thus may come back.

Basically, buy the system where the games you most dearly like reside. None of these systems are going to be like the Dreamcast. Sony has too much money for that to happen. Sega was already deeply in the hole when they launched the Dreamcast, Sony as a whole is nowhere near that. 

Ditto :) I hope you don't give up on this forum if the PS3 suddenly has a heart attack :)

As for the "best games", Im sure you are right...

(sorry, gamerankings.com was down... this is still pretty accurate, with the exception that maybe Twilight Princess is around there...).

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64, Nintendo, 97.8 avg. review)
2. Soul Calibur (DC, Namco, 96.4 avg. review)
3. Metroid Prime (GC, Nintendo, 96.3 avg. review)
4. Tekken 3 (PSX, Namco, 96.3 avg. review)
5. GoldenEye 007 (N64, Nintendo, 96.0 avg. review)
6. Resident Evil 4 (GC, Capcom, 95.9 avg. review)
7. Super Mario 64 (N64, Nintendo, 95.8 avg. review)
8. Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox, Microsoft Game Studios, 95.7 avg. review)
9. Resident Evil 4 (PS2, Capcom, 95.7 avg. review)
10. Half-Life 2 (PC, VU Games, 95.6 avg. review)

Hmmm... 2 Playstation games in the top 10. And the only PS2 title is a port of a GC title.

Yup, that's conclusive to me - Sony MUST have the best games ;) 

lol kotaku.

thats a hilarious list, metroid a better fps then Halo LMFAO.

RPGs? *cough Mass Effect cough*

seriously the PS3 IS going to lose their massive lead in those areas simply because microsoft is expanding into those areas.

Also a few games are going to come out that put Halo to shame, but the name will keep itself better in the hearts of many

 looks damn good, but unproven and no mass market appeal like FF.

like you said people will love halo even if there is something much better. 

 You just described Heavenly Sword and Lair Hus. So why is it that an amazing looking xbox game doesn't count because it's unproven, but a great looking PS3 game is proof that the PS3 rocks?
