and it's only going to get better!

The only section i hate seeing is price. Stop complaining about $400. I bought a 60 gig about 6 months after launch for $650.

But great article. Really shows how far the PS3 has come in just 2 years.

Also stop complaining about no backwards compatitbility. If you want to play PS2 games hook up your PS2 and play them. I have a Wii, PS3, and 360 hooked up right now. Why can't you have a PS2 and PS3 hooked up?

I remember some recent poll that said over 65% of PS3 owners use WiFi instead of wired connections. Can't find it though :S.

But heck. I use WiFi instead of wired and my ps3 is set less than 5 feet away from my router.... it's just one less port I have to use, and one less wire that has to be there....

Good read, Nice job Dgc1808!

Thanks . But IGN Editor Chris Roper deserves all the credit. I'm just spreading the article as news :)

Funny how it didn't manage to include  anything about software.....I guess it just wasn't imnortant enough....

hah.. didn't even notice that until i saw your post.. ign dropped the ball there.. it is almost a joke to write an article about a consoles lifespan to date and not include its software lineup

Well, that doesn't really need to be put there, as it obviously gets better over time since each time a new game comes out the lineup improves. Whether the games are good or not is not of importance, a console's lineup can't get worse if new games are added. And we all know the PS3 has some damn great games.

they might be, but would they make the effort to buy one if it wasnt included, im betting not, on top of that, Sonys problem of late has been cost, and an easy way to shave cost is to cut wifi out, that could easily change into a 50 dollar price drop, and might give them profit off each unit. on top of that it would have been better for the user to remove wifi, and not remove backwards compatibility. I assume the backwards compatibility was stripped because not only was it a way to cut costs, but keep people buying ps2s where they are making money. I assume this because backwards compatibility was a core philosophy of the playstation brand, wifi was not, so to kill backwards compatibility over wifi must have other benefits.

It is awsome just how much the PS3 has grown over the last two years, and the best part is this is not even scratching the surface of what is about to come in the next two years. I have never had a product that has grown as much as the Playstation 3 has, from all sides of the spectrum PS3 has seen major improvemnts. No one can argue the fact that it is the best entertainment system on the market. The only thing that is really troublesome is the price tag. It may never make a differance now due to loss of mindshare, but for those few that own it what a great addition it is.

Congrats Sony, Heres to two more years of beautiful improvments.
