You know, I think this praise and raving is intoxicating to Sony. It's encouraging them to stay in third place, in my opinion. So you guys need to stop a little bit, seriously.
Earlier this year I got the PS3 and played all the best games and a bunch of demos, I've been a PS2 customer and a PS1 customer. I've been enjoying a lot of DS lately and not to brag, but I also predicted the Wii boom way before it launched.
As great of a technical pride and amazing performance the PS3 and its major games carry, when I play them I KNOW the people who made these games don't really understand gaming. They're looking at games from a number of angles that have nothing to do with most people's enjoyment. From this perspective I do believe the PS3 could get a very big sales boost from people hoping for it to be like their previous PS2 experience. But then, gaming on PS3 is totally different from PS2's.
While I know the PS3 may rise considerably, if it's going to continue this path of focusing on the technology of games and their features which PlayStation wasn't about from a consumer perspective, it will not stay afloat. It's simple really. It's beautiful, it's grand, it's amazing, it does everything, but it's not "it". Gameplay, accessibility and intuitiveness are king, on all generations of consoles including the PS2. But this generation, for some reason they decided to forget that.
The PS3 isn't at all like the PS2, for some it might be much much better. But for most it's nothing like what they wanted.
