*shrugs* Each person has different things they like. For some people, a PS3 is worth the price. I personally am in the category where it is not. A few of the games intrigue me, but intrigue isn't enough for me to consider purchase. And that has been announced as exclusive, there are only 2 games that scream out to me, neither of which can hold up to the $150 system price (split among both, of course), in addition to the $60 game price. I've not paid $210 for any game (let alone $150), and I'm not about to start now.
I won't lie, either, in that I'm also skeptical of Sony systems, as in my experience, they have the highest fail rates. (Yes, I know it's a single point of data, but it's my own; we tend to believe most what we see ourselves.) We've gone through 4 PS1s, and are on the the 3rd PS2. (We have another brand new PS2 in the closet for when the current one dies.) The higher price of the PS3, coupled with the higher proportion of people reporting failures this gen, has effectively scared us off. And while we were scared with the 360 also, enough games coupled with a cheaper price and a 3-year warranty are why we went with it, and it's why also, only the exclusives for the PS3 can be considered to getting it.
That aside, the migration of most of the good RPGs to the portable market means I will be looking harder at any console purchase next gen. With the exception of the early spurt of 360 RPGs (which is what pushed us over), there have been too few RPGs for my taste for any home console. And the funny thing is, Sony is sitting on a few RPG names themselves, like Wild Arms and Legend of the Dragoon. If Sony starts releasing new ones of these for the PS3, then I might take another look... |
Ummm . . . what?
PS3 is great. The games are excellent.
I never thought I would enjoy it more than my 360, but I do, a lot more.
