PS3 the console to get?

I don't get the point of the topic. I thought I would walk in and get a thread dedicated to whether or not the OP should buy a PS3. I come in here and realize there's really not much of a discussion to be had. Obviously PS3 is not the console to get. It's one of three. This is a gaming site and a good percentage of us own multiple consoles already. The thinly masked attempt at making a PS3 praise thread into something else doesn't make this topic any more exciting to respond to than the other hundred attempts this year.

I know I thought the exact same thing when I came in. Then it turns into a Sony love fest.

Is the PS3 the defining console of this generation (The question i think the OP was asking)

No, the PS3 is not the defining console of this generation I think most of us can agree that the Wii is the defining console of this generation.  PS3 is basically an X-Box with prettier graphics and less games, X-Box is like a mediocre PS3 with more games. The Wii is like, well like nothing ever done before with crappy graphics and more exclusives then X-Box 360 and PS3 combined.

In order to truly enjoy this generation you need to own a Wii, sure some will argue you need a PS3/360 too. But without a Wii you are missing out on all those new innovations and most of what defined gaming this generation. You can't call yourself a true gamers unless you own both a Wii and a PS3or360. End of story
