Okay, flame me, criticise me, and whatsoever, but i want to share my opinion about the current Status about the PS3:
(NOTE: THIS IS 'MY' OPINION, and if you want to question anything about it, do it with reason)
Back in 12/06', when i switched into the next Generation of Consoles, i was in love with my Cube, and since my ammount of available Money was pretty low, i bought the Wii. It was cool, but not my kind of System, so i bought the 360 a half year later. (because it was cheap., and had HD)
Today, i have a PS3 and a 360, and i think the PS3 has grown to the technically BEST System available.
Why?
- Online Gaming ~ XBL may have more, and greater Stuff - but PSN is growing, and Gaming is Free, and in addition - you have a Browser. (okay, the browser is absolutely NOT able to rival Firefox/IE/Chrome and co, but it has one, and with flash.)
-Games ~ i cant say anything here, but i think the Games Library is great, and can definetly fight the one available on 360. ( in the End, that is a matter of Taste, but that makes it impossible for Sony to lose, because every player wants different Games, but you cant deny that GoW3/LBP/GT/Heavy Rain/Uncharted/Valkyria Chronicles and many more are State of the Art Games)
- Additional Stuff ~ Move is a copy of the Wii. maybe. maybe not. but it works, it works very well. and there is also the PSeye cam, you can exchange the HDD wtithout buying an overpriced one from Sony, up to 7 Controllers, and some more Stuff.) And of course it has Blu Ray and Bluetooth.
No System is bad, but imo PS3's the best, and thats why my 360 is collecting dust.

edit: @ KillerMan
you are absolutely right, Sony screwed the launch as much as humanly possible, that is something no one can deny, and they have to live with that.
