Nearly 20 years later, how do you feel about the PS3?

I need to learn how to edit quote. Are you a fan at all on western games or just Japanese games?  If you are both equally,  you would come in agreement with me on ps3 getting the edge overall. 

For some people yeah, it depends on what games theyre into. Are we talking overall number of quality games, are we factoring the impact of genre defining games that started on a particular system, or both?

We can start listing japanese released titles on ps3/ps4, and western and start comparing and making cases, even though that would take forever lol.

I generally prefer Japanese games, but PS3 was the exception where I enjoyed western games a little more (out of the limited pool of games that I played). But for my taste and based on my limited experience and the things that I hear from the community, I get the sense that the quality of western AAA games declined in the PS4 generation, whereas Japanese games recovered. Overall I liked PS4 a lot more.

There are metrics that put PS3 ahead, and other metrics that give PS4 the win. It's okay to like one more than the other. Maybe I misunderstood one of your comments, but it sounded like you were downplaying PS4's Japanese games advantage (in quality and quantity) and overestimating PS3's "objective" advantages.

Metacritic gives PS3 the win in "90+" quantities, but critical reception doesn't always align with the consensus. PS5 is destined to beat both and yet many understandably consider it the worst of the three.

I probably enjoyed the Japanese exclusives around the same. I am still grateful for what they gave us on ps4. I never got into the monster hunter series, and wasn't a big fan of the RE  remakes, but i loved games like shadown of colossus remake,(prob my top 5 of all time),  nier automata,  the last guardian, dragon quest 11(another top 5/10) , persona 5, sekiro ( second fav souls game),  elden ring, shenmue collection ( top 10), death stranding ( another goat), kingdom hearts 4

Ps5, is definitely the weakest so far. Having said that, i am not dissatisfied, as i find myself falling behind and a backlog of games growing. Though circumstances are different this gen, i find myself married and working full times and spending alot less time gaming now then i did then.  

But speaking in terms of first party exclusives, playstation feels like it's moving at a slower pace than previous generations. If i was still working part time and single, I'd probably be complaining about the lack of exclusives.
