Why are PS3 owners really bothered about the PS3 being in 3rd , seriously ?

I dunno, I don't buy this "used to being in first" rubbish at all.

When I jumped on board the Playstation 1, I did so for final fantasy 7. That was the reason. I had grown to love some of the playstaion games such as Metal Gear solid, final fantasy, chrono cross, disruptor, and a plethora of other PS1 rpg's ^_^

At that time I was a youngn' and didn't have any clue as to how these games worked, I just assumed that the next iterations of them would all be on the PS2 when it came out. And at that time, I thought sonic was just gay >_> and that's all that was ever shown with the dreamcast, so that was obviously a no-no. I had little interest at the time for the next iteration of Nintendo games, so going with the PS3 was just the obvious choice for me.

The PS2 carved a legacy of great exclusive titles, and many exclusive IP's with Sony. So when this generation started, the 360 was the first out of the gate, but I didn't care about any of it's original exclusives, considering I had never owned one, and the only game anyone ever played on it when I did see one was halo, which I thought was meh... Anyways! I figured I'd just wait for the PS3, because it was more functional that the 360 (blu-ray player, came with a hard drive, free online play, gorgeous dvd upscaling, etc etc), and I knew some of Sony's games would be making an appearance on this machine ^_^

Never in my life did I ever give a crap that the PS3 was suppose to follow some "legacy". I never cared about first place at all >_> I just followed the software, and so far Sony's done a damn good job of retaining amazing software.

So if I was to jump onto a console right off the bat, I'd look for the one that does the most for me, and Sony's always seemed to deliver that. Sure they're the most expensive, but I enjoy and use the features of the console religiously, so they're very important. And it's the other "fanboy's" that keep attempting to tell me that they're not when they clearly are @_@

 

   I absolutely second this post.  I traded in a bunch of my SNES games and got myself a PS1 right after FFVII came out.  I had been a long time Nintendo supporter and never even looked twice at the genesis, but losing FFVII was too much so I canceled my sub to Nintendo Power and for the most part never looked back.  I mean I did own a N64 and Gamecube (and for a time a Wii) but since the PS1 and FFVII I would have to say about 80% of my game purchases and 90% of my game playing time has been with Sony consoles.  

   I was I think 13 at the time, so I wasn't buying the PS1 to be trendy.  I had even played it a few times with games like beyond the beyond and been...less then impressed.  

   By the time the PS2 came out I was something like 16 or 17 so by then I was looking at it more intellectually (like how useful the DVD would be, the capabilities relative to the dreamcast ect) but its not like I moved to Sony because all the cool kids were doing it.  I didn't have too many gamer friends until later in life, at 13 all the kids I knew who played "games" with me were playing pick up basketball or freshman HS football.  

   I don't pick Sony because its trendy even now with the PS3, I bought the 360 at launch and still have it (I keep trying to sell it and noone will pay more then 140 bucks for a launch 360, thats not even 2 games) and I tried it enough to have 10000 gamerscore points before just finding that everything was better on the PS3.

 

 I use Sony systems because they make all the other systems seem semi irrelevant other then a handful of exclusives, and I LOVE watching action movies as Blu Rays esp after getting a 1080p TV with my PS3 (the comp usa deal that let you get a guaranteed PS3 with a HDTV, the way I got a PS3 at launch in the first place).  If I only had a 360 I'd still need a PS3 for 4 of my 5 favorite games this gen (and the 5th, Mass Effect, I own on the PC).
