| Nymeria said: The Cell processor. Over all it didn't add much of an advantage over a year older 360 and made ports tricky even today with backward compatibility. If the PS3 was essentially a 360 inside and launched closer in date and price they would likely have been far more competitive early on and made a profit on a system. Controversial one is not putting online play behind a paywall from day one. Stinks for gamers, but PS+ has been huge for the stability and growth of their gaming division. |
Cell was a lot stronger than PPC on X360, problem was the weaker graphic card...
And PS+ even if you put as controversial, when it was just games gifted on subscription had only about 2M subs, now that it's necessary for MP have it around 30-35M... and at least it only blocked MP gaming instead of all internet usage as done in X360.
