Solid proof the PS3 is a better system

The reason Wii is the best selling console is because non-gamers like it. There are way more non-gamers than gamers. Add in the Gamecube install base that would buy a Wii regardless and you have the best selling console this gen.

But is the Wii or PS3 the best console objectively? The preference over which type of controller you prefer aside, the PS3 is hands down a better machine.

It's funny, cuz I remember when people used to say that about the n64 and the gamecube because they were more powerful then the ps1/ps2....strangely it didn't make them sell more.

Sony fans....Nintendo fans, I think we're missing the real point here.......we should be pooling our hate at the 360 instead, so we can go back to just the two of us dueling it out :)

 

Damn it, you beat me too it.

 

But yes, just to reiterate, this is the same old, same old story that has been done before.

 

For all those who are too young to know/remember, just been into the video game world, or have lived in Sony land and were enjoying having the better selling console (Sony Playstations), this story started with the N64. Articles after articles were written in gaming magazines that said that Nintendo 64 was the better console, had the better graphics, games, controller, more innovative, the king of the hill, etc. etc. etc.

 

And none of it mattered. In the end, not only did the PS1 became the victor, Sony made a repeat for the king of the hill war with the PS2 and Nintendo fell further back, all the way to last place.

 

Now, the tables have turned and Nintendo, after learning their lesson, has gotten the crown back and now the Sony fanboys have taken the role of writing articles after articles of nonsense. Do they have facts? With the numbers, probably. With the subjective portion? Those are never totally right, no matter if it is from a Sony fanboy, a Ninty fanboy or an MS fanboy. The only reason people may feel that these articles are right THIS time is because it is on the internet, where bullshit is spread faster and amplified a thousand times more.

 

Let's learn our history please? Just get over with it, move on and just play the consoles that you love to play. If you don't like the competition, you don't have to...just respect it enough so you don't force this nonsense down in other people's throats...
