The PS3 is not the future of gaming in my opinion and I agree with his statement. The future of gaming is more then just having the amazing lineup of games that the PS3 has and the horsepower to create beautiful games.

Take a look at what Nintendo has done with the Wii. Its innovative and expands the notion of console gaming to the next level. The same can be said for MS and XBOX Live, it presents something new and keeps the industry fresh.

The PS3's innovation is Blu Ray and as far as I am concerned that doesnt enhance my experiance as a gamer what so ever. I can watch HD movies but then again is that what I bought my PS3 for? Moreso, Sony has tried to integrate what MS and Nintendo have done into its product. Sixaxis? Home? The middle button on my controller? These concepts are pruely to combat and imitate companies who are actually working to deliver something new to the gaming world.

Everyone says that PS3 is the future of gaming but I disagree. The future of gaming encompasses so much more then the PS3 and Sony brings to the table. I will give them kudos for the hardware innovation but future of gaming...no.

May come across that I am bashing but I own a PS3 and definetly am looking forward to what is coming. I simply do not feel that Sony will be the benchmark that everyone will try to follow into the next gen like they did last gen. It is obvious that vast majority of gamers are more concerned with innovation then pretty graphics as is the case with both the Wii and 360.

 honestly i think that the ps3 has waay more vastly innovative than the 360.

 the 360 with xbox live, ok, but they had that last generation all they added was video content and stuff.

i think the futuer of gaming is ps3 and wii, as they appeal to the 2 different crowds. 

the ps3 has blu ray, a larger hard drive, little big planet (which defines innovative), home (which is better than xbl),

etc. that make it really innovative.

 

the wii is obviously innovative as well. 


Home isnt even out yet how do you no it will be innovative?  Moreso, Live has taken 5 years to get to its standpoint, do you really think Home is going to come out and be amazing and present the type of innovation that MS has with Live?  If you no anything about programming you will no that it doesnt quite work that way my friend (ex MS Vista). 

 Live has maturied and is by far the best online product and by far the biggest innovation in online entertainment for consoles.  Tell me what company introduced DLC, Movies, Demos, Music, Live Streaming, gameplay integration etc. to console gaming?  Thats right Microsoft, we call that innovation sir.

Your right the PS3 has Blu Ray, not a bigger hardrive (360 Elite?) and little big planet but none of those 3 things present gaming innovation to me.  Those are things that we see or have seen in every generation. Cartridge--> CD --> DVD --> Dual Layer DVD --> Blu Ray and so on.  Little big planet some what innovative but the same can be said for games like Mass Effect, Wii Fit, Fable 2 etc.
