Well every time you think this console has turned the corner, it just hasn't.
Tons of delays, crappy launch, overpriced at the start, constantly changing SKU's, taking features OUT (Back Compat) without getting key features delivered (cross-XMB, Friends, video store, Home).
Hey Blu-Ray wins! Here come the big sales numbers.....oh. They didn't go up?
Hey here comes GTA and DMC which are Sony exclusives!...oh. Well at least they moved boxes.....oh wait. At least the ratio of GTA sales was strong ...oh wait, in one more week at the rate of last week, it's gonna be the 2:1 ratio in North America that no one said could happen?
Hey! Exclusive shooter with lots of hype....oh. Hey Lair is our savior!....oops. Hey Heavenly Sword is awesome, and the game is over before the sentence ends. Uncharted and Ratchet are legitimately awesome but don't sell all that well. Shelling out for a controller with rumble instead of getting it out of the box. Shelling out for a headset versus getting it (and having voice standard.)
Crappy multiplatform ports (and delays for them).
I could go on, but it all adds up, ya know? It wears on you. Yes, MGS4 will help ease the pain, but you can only go on potential for so long before the fact that they are under-delivering on the experiences really weighs you down. They told me that my PS3 was going to play everything bigger and better and blow me away, and it's just not happening.
Don't get me wrong. I like it and most of the games are good, but the fact that I play not just the 360 but my old PS2 slim more than the PS3 says something about Sony this gen.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
