Well I think most people are talking about sales on this site and what you may feel like putting down your system is really just criticism as to why it won't sell boatloads and why it won't get massive exclusive support. I own a PS3 and I like it for its media server capabilities and the blue-ray is a nice addition but IMO it does lag in the games department there are some great games on it though and if it were my only system I wouldn't be dissappointed but my Wii just gets more play time than the PS3.

As for others Sony fans spent the early part of this gen ripping on the Wii and there is probably some resentment.

Finally Sony bough the early part of this upon themselves with their outlandish PR that made a joke of the gaming industry and insulted people who were not fanbois.

 

I'm having the opposite problem.  I'm struggling to find more Wii games that interest me since I've beaten the majority of the ones that interested me already.  For PS3, however, there are still several games on my wishlist that I can't yet afford.  My Wii has been relegated to the system for my 4 yr. old son and the PS3 is mostly for me.  My reasons for not having a 360 are personal.  Personally, I can't bring myself to reward a faulty product (no matter how enticing the software) with my hard earned $.  That last statement was not inteded to inflame anyone.  It's just the way I feel.

ah here you do it yourself....

 

 

Don't misunderstand.  I openly acknowledge the appeal of the software of the 360.  It has some great games I'd love to play.  My comment is in stark contrast to those of people who not only bash the PS3, but claim it has no good games.

You see I am not bashing the PS3. In fact I did say there were some great games on it that I have played but most of the games are short with little replay value...Wipeout Pure is an exception I played that game endlessly and I really enjoyed Blast Factor(though prefer geomotry wars) Uncharted was better than expected and was great game to play and even the much malligned Heavenly sword was fun though it was repetative and short. Outside of that GTA IV and MGS IV were huge let downs particularily MGS IV which has got to be one of the worst games I have ever played which is funny cause the game played just fine but the writing was cringe inducingly bad unfocused and unimagintive(I felt like it was written by a 4 year old  ODing on ritalin) Lair got what it deserved and LBP was dull to me but I won't knock that game just not for me. Resistance felt generic to me and plus I don't like to play FPSs on consoles I fell like i am walking through molasses and they just don't seem fun to me. Call of Duty 4 was a great game but I only know that from the PS3 version. So yes I can see some games there that can catch peoples eyes. A lot of games I tried lacked a spark like Genji 2, Untold Legends, and so forth. Ratchet was fun though.

I tend to use it mostly for media purposes now and it doesn't dissappoint. I have rented several movies though the PSN network and while I wish the selection was bigger and the menus a little snappier when browsing though titles it is an overall positive experience.
