Has your opinion changed on the PS3 - Post E3 / Leipzig?

The PS3 to me always seems to be on the cusp of delivering something big - the big games always seem to be out next year - but it never actually seems to deliver it. Take for example, 2008, it was meant to be the year of the PS3 yet, so far to me at least, it's been dissappointing.

Maybe with the release of LBP, Resistance 2 and Home it'll finally deliver on it's potential for me.

 

I remember buying the Playstation 3 and 360 at launch. I'm one of the few odd ones who is very used to rolling with the punches. The games library was unimpressive to me, up until I destroyed all my preconcepted notions of genres and actually played them.

 

When I finally beat Resistance (I hated it when I first got it, but than I actually played through it), Uncharted, Ratchet, Heavenly Sword, and MGS4 - I realized something. The Playstation 3 games were of uber-quality and were doing very right. The library is almost there, but once LBP and R2 come out, IF they hit the scale I want them to, I can see myself taking back my vicarious claims on the game's library.

 

I think the problem is that if you own a 360 and have a friend who's PS3 you can play on you realise exactly why you didnt purchase one yet. See The games you mentioned are between ok and good(apart from MGS4 the sole reason for me to own a PS3). The 360 has far more quality titles on offer, and after playing say NG2 a game like HS seems slow and cumbersome. Uncharted is good, but for 3rd person shooters you have GeoW. Ratchet is certainly a matter of taste (of which Mario wins hands down) and MGS4 has no current competition (I doubt Conviction will be half as good unless a miracle happens.)

 

When my collection consists of

Mass Effect

Eternal Sonata

Halo 3

Gears of War

Lost Odyssey

Ninja Gaiden 2

Blue Dragon

Bioshock

Command and Conquer 3

Kameo

The Orange Box

Forza 2

Soul Calibur 4

Devil May Cry 4

Oblivion

GTA 4

 

Why would I need a PS3????

On top of that the new dashboard is right on the money and the new live stuff at E3 puts 360 a leap in front on on line services again. 10,000 films available for free if you have gold by the end of the year. Seriously why would I spend £350 on a Ps3 when I can buy 8 good to great games for my 360 by the end of the year?
