What does Ps3 need?

[Raze]

It needs its own identity. Let me explain:

PS2 was technically speaking, the weakest of all 3 consoles last gen, but people loved it, devs found it easy to work with, and it was very affordable. It was like the Toyota Corolla of the gaming systems - anyone who wanted one went with it - it was reliable, affordable, and had all the features anyone wanted.

Enter the PS3. It was WAY tech heavy and ridicuoulsy overpriced at launch. Sony was proud and vain, and in turn, abandoned their economically-minded fans. It definitely outmatched the other consoles as far as raw technology goes, but it was too much for many to afford. The new economic choice was the Wii, which was offering a whole new way to play games. This allured a big chunk of the old PS2 fanbase. The PS3 had changed Sony's image into something the old PS2 fans didn't like.

Sony continued to throw barbs at Nintendo verbally, which just made them seem more arrogant, and kept people away from them, like the emo kid in high school.

Then the PS3, after all the crap-talking, decided to pretty much mimick Nintendo's motion controls with some added technology, trying to lure back the fans lost to Nintendo. It became a case of "Me too" moreso than an original idea. The old lost PS2 fans are hoping for Sony to bring something original to the table, but haven't.

Sony, and especially the PS3, needs its own identity, for something that the fans can latch on to. Nintendo has motion controls and several original IPs, Microsoft has Xbox Live and a few original IPs like Halo as its beacon, plus a whole new method of motion controls. Sony has some good titles, but nothing really with a "wow" factor to lure people in.
