Should PS3 have been made as PSX instead?

No, I'm not rich. My money is limited as well as my physical space so I have to make the best decision for my dollar. I like other games but I most like Nintendo's hence I bought Nintendo's systems. I wanted a Dreamcast. Wallet said uh-uh. Room space said hmmmmm. I wanted a PS2. Wallet said uh-uh. Room space said welllll. I wanted an XBox JUST to play Raw 2 which I felt was the only good 6th gen wrestling game representative in presentation and game engine outside of the Asmik/AKI legendary titles. Wallet said wait awhile. Room space said where?

I used to live in an apartment complex as a teen. Upstairs my NES & SNES, downstairs my friend had a Genesis. I loved going downstairs to play his Genesis AND LATER Sega CD. I LOVED the Sega Channel. That not good enough for you? Still think I'm some Nintendo-employee or cultist?

Who said I don't consider wanting to buy other consoles? But you gotta make a decision. Those guys who buy all the consoles are not that many people honestly. Some MAY buy two. It takes a LOOOOT of cash supporting 3 separate platforms and all the games you'd like to play. I don't have neither the time nor the space nor the cashflow nor the priority in life to want to be doing that. I've got plenty of games on my Gamecube I've barely scratched into. Just been buying 'em up, playing them a little, and then putting them off to the side. Just now getting back into them. I got a full-time job and I do other things besides play games. Some days I play nothing at all. Not Wii not anything. A week sometimes. And it was that way before. Only 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week. And a portion of that is dedicated to sleep.

If I had to pay for air I'd suffocate due to my car problems crushing my wallet along with the gas prices. Money is tight kid & I got student loans I'm trying to get off my back. So when I go for a system I'm going for the one I feel will give me the best consistent experience for my dollar. I'm not one to fritter away my funds and can squeeze a dollar tighter than Scrooge McDuck when I have to. Nintendo has a proven track record with me for over 25 years in software, hardware, and interface. I don't HAVE to look at reviews or previews to wonder if I would like their games or not. I don't have to get consumer feedback on the durability of their products (I could show you the clip of the Gulf War Game Boy & the Car Dragged Gamecube but I'll pass for now). So they got my trust and I haven't been let down yet. They are the best developer in the business bar none. Anyone will tell you that. So I support them FIRST over any others. Down the line when my physical space improves and my leisure funds are little more flexible I'll think about picking up some competition's systems. It's all about priorities.

I feel if Sony went all out & made a PSX-like device things would be a little better for 'em. That's MY opinion. I want to see what OTHERS think about my proposal.
