The PS3 is maturing as I expected, but I seem to have been more reserved with regard to short term expectations than most by stating things like that it would take several years until we see the PS3's potential fully realized well before launch when I knew about the technical specifications.
With regard to sales I anticipated a slow start due to high entry pricing and the costs involved for Sony (impossible to sustain PS2/Wii like sales figures for the short term, at least until there's enough of an install base to compensate for investments through PS3 software sales).
Biggest disappointments:
- Playstation Home's release took longer than anticipated, but seems well polished and well worth the wait.
- Near no games support the PSP remote play feature so far.
Biggest surprises:
- The thing I criticized the PS3 the most for was that despite its hardware specifications there was no DVR functionality. Well PlayTV pretty much goes beyond this.
- LittleBigPlanet, I didn't expect this sort of game for the PS3 until the release of a slimline PS3.
The 360 is IMO a big disappointment overall mostly due to absurd levels of hardware related issues and hardware limitations showing much earlier in its lifespan and being more severe than I originally anticipated, this of course before digging deeper into the console's specifications and bottlenecks.
