Your point being that consoles break down over time. Holy shit I thought they lasted forever. I could go on with some more biting snide remarks of my own, but I will just skip to the point. We don't know how many miles he put on his console, or whether he practiced good preventive maintenance. Some consoles live a hard life. Some dying sooner then others proves nothing.

Before someone tries to offer up a rebuttal. I know some PS3 owners who have run their consoles ten feet under in less then a year. It wasn't the consoles fault. They ran the machines almost constantly in unfit living conditions. That were closer to filthy saunas then places fit for human habitation. So don't even go there. Didn't we have a video on these forums a few weeks ago where a guy had to empty a mountain of dead roaches out of a Wii.

Thank you for putting up the link.

He only takes PS3's problems and highlights them when every console has advantages and disadvantages. PS3 has many advantages over the 360.

He says great things about PS1 and PS2, but heck even they had their problems. PS1 had many, many inferior ports compared to the Saturn (2D fighters, pretty much any and all of them). Yet it was also a great console.

Nothing is perfect...

I gotta agree though that Microsoft has done a superb job with the Xbox 360. it only went downhill for me after Kinect and this casual focus.

Most developers do a excellent job given the daunting circumstances. The whole industry went one way, and Sony went the opposite way. So it is a lot like the PS3 speaks a completely different language. Would you call the people on these forums who speak English as a second language lazy by any chance. We all know that they are trying their very best. So I don't think you would say that. At the end of the day developers only have so much time, and so many man hours to work with.

They could delay the PS3 versions of the games. To get them even closer to their 360 counter parts, but as we have seen this generation a lot of PS3 users don't have the stomach for even two or three month waits. In the end it is just a price that the PS3 has to pay for being different. Hopefully Sony learns a lesson about thinking it can dictate terms to the market, and they bring their hardware more in line with more standard architectures.

I guess, just like the author, you can ignore the fact he can't even play his 360, as well as all the HW problems it faced for the first few years.  Personally, I'd rather have a system that may have a few SLIGHTLY inferior third party games, and therefore are disappointed by it, as opposed to a system that's a nice paperweight.  Kinda strange how you are treating this article like a great work, while even some 360 supporters labeled it biased drivel.  I'm starting to think that maybe you wrote it. 

"Few" and "slightly" needs re-working.

You're right.  Fixed. 

Indeed. Your own stance and reaction toward the article would have been completely different if it had condemned the 360. xD

My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty sure Sony isn't staying up at night thinking about you, Jay. Go home man, you're drunk.

Disappointment is having to buy a second console because it had a 50 % fail rate. there are no words for how I felt when the second console also failed.
