it seems like every playstations life depends on how it builds up steam.. and i dont see this being any different... sony seems foolish in their planning and strategy but i dont know maybe this is all going according to plan.... sony is the bad guy but they are already starting to build up steam.. i dont see as much hate for the console as i did a year ago or a month ago..

there's not as much hate because no one cares about the PS3 any more. It's a non-item. There is no real interest in it any more. It's simply too expensive and not worth the inital investment for most people they don't even think about it enough to hate it.

 

It simply has nothing compelling for it at the moment.

When the PS2 came out - it really was a "new" generatio, and had some great/new games/demos (SSX). And it played DVD's (an established format, but lacking players)

When the GC came out, it had latest Nintendo titles (Luigi mansion, etc..) and marked the first new Nintendo console since the N64. First online (barely), disc media, much better gfx, etc.

When the Xbox came out, it introduced a SOLID online system, pixel shaders, hard disk, and had a smash hit to back it up (Halo)

When the 360 came out, it was the first next-gen console. Much nicer gfx, high-definition, lots of online content/functionality.

When the Wii came out, it introduced motion sensing controls, pointer functionality, and opened up a mass/casual market for gamers with WiiSports.

When the PS3 came out.... it introduced an incomplete, expensive system, no innovative titles, a controller that was (70% DualShock/30% Wiimote/0% rumble) AND.................. BluRay.

....

I'll say it again - the only thing that will save the PS3 is compelling, awesome games. I am *sure* some of them are coming, but can they come before Nintendo/MS bring out their equally excellent/compelling titles?

The challenge is still on Sony to prove that the PS3 is a better machine than the 360. So far they have failed completely.
