That's a lot of rose tinted glasses viewing.
PS3 had a terrible game library the first year(s), far behind the 360. I remember a long game drought after launch.
All my PS3 controllers have failed, those things weren't durable at all. Very flimsy, especially compared to the 360 controllers. I had problems with the charging ports, the sticks, the directional buttons, the triggers. They were nice lightweight controllers yet now I use a DS4 controller for my PS3 since all 7 or so of my PS3 controllers are either dead or have issues. (One continuously fires directional buttons at the lightest touch of the controller)
Both my 60GB launch PS3 and 80GB 'movie player' PS3 died from YLod. PS3 slim is still going.
PS3 never had full BC in Europe, only US versions had the complete package. But unfortunately they died on me, no more full BC, no more card reader.
But yes, that was still a time where tech got cheaper a lot faster over time and scaling up production. Now inflation and scarcity have changed that for all computer electronics. But let's not forget Sony lost 4 billion or more on PS3 :/ Just get blu-ray to win over HD-DVD (luckily). PS3 was sold at $300 loss, it was actually a $899 console.

I am comparing it to this console generation, not the 360. I am talking about 7th gen vs 9th gen, in the second part of the post. The first one was only about PS3. Even if you want PS3 alone, there weren't many games in those launch years compared to the later years for it, however they were still more and better than the games released for PS5 so far. Other thing is almost all of the games on PS5 so far are available on the PS4 as well. And I am not including them. I am pointing out 7th gen exclusives vs 9th gen exclusives, not games available on the last generation too. However even if we include them last gen and next gen it's still way better period for games 2006-2008 PS2&PS3 vs the PS4&PS5 2020-2024. |
Yeah by this point in its lifespan the PS3 had Uncharted 1/2, Killzone 2, God of War III, Resistance 1/2, Infamous, Motorstorm 1/2, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction & Crack in Time, Bioshock 1/2, COD Modern Warfare 1/2 and World at War, Dead Space, GTA4, Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham Asylum, MGS4, Vanquish, Fallout 3...
PS5 absolutely pales in comparison.
