Rough launch aside, would you say the PlayStation 3 eventually became the best console of the 7th gen?

PS3's first half being weak is a myth...

In 2008, the console's 2nd full year, it had exclusives like Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, MGS4, and Valkyria Chronicles.

In 2009, it got Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Demon's Souls, a Crack in Time, and Fat Princess.

Early consoles had full backwards compatibility with the incredible PS1 and PS2 game libraries, later consoles only had full BC with PS1. It also had free online, a stronger 2nd half than X360, and the console itself was more reliable. Like countless others, my X360 died in 2008 (after 250+ hours into Tales of Vesperia).

Does this make it better than X360? I don't know. The X360 generally had the better versions of multiplatform games, and a great lineup of exclusives too. It was the better designed hardware all things considered.

PS3 is better now because most of the best 7th gen games that happened to run better on 360 are available on GoG. Not sure why anyone would play New Vegas on 360/PS3 when the GoG version is better in every way and there's no DRM to it.
