1)what if most of my friends play PS3?

2)what if i like the PS3 controller?

3)what if i bought the console to play games instead of Netflix? (or bluray movies) ?

1) um... well... your in the minority, bottom of the list so to speak..

 XBL 24/7 people on my friends list are online

 PSN it's rare to find friends online

Like playing Killzone 2 on VGCs Clan and nobody ever being on... ever?

 

2) PS3 Controller can be a pain, I posted about it above..

 

3) You would have a Wii? don't know what you mean...

 

I find it way better to just plug in the USB cable to the controller and charge it, than to use normal rechargable batteries, its not like its a pain in the ass, you just get up and plug the thing and you can still play from your seat(depends on how far you are, but the cable is long) and it charges in a few minutes and lasts for a long time.

The third reason is dumb, you can get the ps3 to play games and not use the bluray funcionality, the ps3 is primary a gaming machine, to play games, and if the games you like are on the system I dont see whats wrong witjh choosing it over any other one like the wii because of games.

You may disagree in the first 2 points and maybe thats why you could choose another console.

I have a 61in HDTV... how close do you think I sit to the PS3 and TV to use a USB cable?

did you see the length of the PS3 controller recharge cable it's like 1-1/2 feet long...

If the PS3 controller charged when the PS3 was off Like the 360 it would move up on my list, because I already fixed the L2 R2 trigger problem for a small price..

 

The third reason he asks "what if i bought the console to play games instead of Netflix? or bluray movies ?" and I answered him..

 

Your case is an specific case which doesnt make trhe console "bad" in that aspect, it may not be the choice for you if it seriously bothers you that much. I also dont know how much is a "feet" since I use meters,  but its long enough for me to sit on the couch and have it connected while I play, a distance many use to sit and play their games. Like I said before, your best choice may be the 360, but creating reasons why the console is bad like the guy in the article, is childish and completely ignores the different aspects in each one of us at the moment to pick a console and using your parameters to decide for the others.

On the other thing, I already read you said it as a joke, I didnt notice, sorry its just that I didnt find it funny.
