Why do people think the PS3 sucks

I don't think the PS3 sucks; quite the contrary, I think it's quite a powerful and versatile machine. The problem is, I already have a machine that's more powerful and versatile than it is, and that is getting pretty much everything the PS3's getting that's worth getting to me personally. It's called my PC. I really don't see any reason to invest an additional $400 to $500 in a console that ultimately has nothing to offer over what I already have. Maybe if I had no PC and didn't want to spend the money to get one, I'd see a PS3 as a great choice. But that's not the case, so...

Maybe some day in the future, the PS3 will have enough items I'm interested on it exclusively, at which point I may well consider getting one. But for now, it's just a PC alternative to me. And an alternative I'm in no need of.

Yo! From what I had bolded it for you, it pretty clear that you're talking about xbox instead of PS3. Cause that what xbox is - PC 0.5! So please don't compare PS3 to PC. "has nothing to offer over what I already have" you'll never get PS3 exclusives but will do with xbox's.

The biggest argument of console gamers vs. PC gamers is that a PC costs way too much just for video games. But with PS3's launch price of $600 that argument went down the window. I can build you a decent PC box for 500 (decent meaning it can run crysis on min to med settings). That said why should I waste my money on something far inferior to what i can already get? Outside of a few genres (fighting, racing, sports) PC has far superior controls than a console. I won't even get into the fact that multiplayer is far better on PC's too (I don't have to spend more money for Live, and I can do infinetly more on the PC). I'm sorry but at the way console's prices are going up, I feel that people will start going back to the PC for some gaming. As for the games themselves. No console will ever come close to the graphics that a good PC can output, and no console will ever be able to create FPS/RTS/RPG games the way a PC can. (Just in case you try to argue the RPG thing, think about this. WoW has 10 million players right now.)
