I have been reviewing some of my previous threads, and it appeared that I was bashing the Playstation 3 in favor for the Nintendo Wii, and Microsoft Xbox 360. That is unfair to Sony Playstation 3, because it is a really good system, despite a few flaws.

I've bashed the Sony Playstation 3 enough. It is about time I say some good things about it.

I've been reading more about the system, and the truth is, it is a very under rated system.

The Playstation 3 is only $200 more expensive than the Xbox 360. However, because Sony is losing more money, per console, than Xbox 360 is on their consoles, you are getting a better deal when you purchase the Playstation 3... *yada, yada, yada*

Oh, so what you're trying to say is, you better go on record for saying good things about the PS3 seeing as it's looking like, after the Sony gamers day event, that Sony's PS3 is about to kick some major ass. Ah, I see, well..OK. You really haven't said anything that hasn't been drummed repeatedly out since 2005 by Sony's fanbase to the likes of people like you that dogged the PS3 like crazy... and you're only reading up on it now? lol, wow.

Actually, it all depends on how you view the system. You can view it in a good way, for what it is, and you can view it in a bad way, when compared to its competitors. If its competitors never existed, everyone would be thinking that the Playstation 3 is the best thing in the world.

The Playstation 3 wont kick some major ass. I wont even kick ass in general. I personally think it is going to die out, because people now days are too cheap to spend the money to buy it, and don't know what it's fully capable of doing.

I got most of my facts before. I just decided to make one thread that praised the Playstation 3, since there are already so many other threads (including some of mine) that were bashing it.

Thats the key right there. People dont know what they are getting for that money. And thats where M$ gets its suckers from. People that bought the HDD less 360, people who bought one in general. The PS3 has a ton more features both hardware and functionality. The 360 selld all of its "extras" for an insane amount of money and forces you to buy there own stuff. The PS3 has all of those features built in for a fraction of what you would pay getting it with a 360. I think if everyone knew it had a blu-ray drive, up-converted PS1,PS2 and DVDs, was a location free player, allows music and video streaming from your PC, allowed you to increase the size of the HDD to whatever size you want using whatever HDD you wan, could use Blu-tooth peripherals and use the PSP as a remote, hell play PS1 games on your PSP from anywhere in the world. They would realize that the PS3 was a GREAT DEAL. The 360 gets you in cheap, but steals your wallet once you open it.

 You are assuming that everyone would want all those features with the 360, which isn't true. The thing is that people still see gaming systems as little more than, well, gaming systems. Thus having more games is what attracts people. $200 more, with fewer stellar games (upcoming or already here), just doesn't seem that attractive to people, fair or not.
