Thank you for backing me up robjoh. I notice finalsquall hasn't replied to this post in the standard Sony fanboy "selective replying" mentality they get into where it's convenient to ignore reality.

I will simply add to your argument since you basically said everything I was going to:

the reason the PS1 and PS2 had a diverse library was not some magical "diversify" pixie dust that Sony sprinkled on their console. The reason is quite simply, the PS2 had the largest install base and therefore got the most third party support. More games means more diversity.

Currently, the PS3 has the least third party support out of all three consoles, and this does not look to be changing in the near future. So with the least support comes less diversity, and a more niche, focused console. Which is, of course, excellent for those people who are in that niche, as well as developers who target that particular niche.

I don't quite understand why Sony fans need to convince themselves that the PS3 is going to sell more than Xbox360 and Wii despite all evidence to the contrary. It's not that big a deal, if you like the PS3 now chances are you will love the games that will come out for it in the future. The Gamecube and Xbox were niche consoles, but that doesn't mean they didn't get any good games.

I can verify this - the people interested in games at the university I go to all are Wii-owners aswell and so are some of my friends. As always I'm the black sheep with the PS3 , but I don't care for I'm as happy with my console as they are with theirs and it's all good.

GD it, I'm really getting sick and tired of this forum and it's constant flaming! They'd better call this website VGwarchartz. Putting up a chart of who flames the best, sjeez!!

 Sorry M'i lady *bows head* I shall stop and admit that I was wrong and the Wii is king of all consoles. This shall bring an end to the flamming arguments over nothingness. I will thus become a Wii fan Boy! I Now Serve KING MARIO! :P

It's because people are so tense and aggressive here and can't seem to enjoy these forums.

But the Wii is a fad. You know... Just like the DS was suppossed to be right?

@FinalSqual

With its sales, I don't think the PS3 is showing us we need anything this generation, in fact, it's showing most gamers they don't need it. I'd also rather avoid a larger format disc that either requires compromising the disc's capacity with loads of redundant data to avoid five minute loading times or installing integral files onto the HDD to play it like a PC game. The only thing the PS3 and its Blu-Ray has shown us is that if it has any say in Console Gaming's future then Console Gaming is no longer Console Gaming.

You were fine with the PS2's humble limitations last generation so I see no reason to make the PS3's excess out to be a necessity for this one.

First of all, read my profile in where it says I support both! Second of all I wasn't only talking to you but to the entire flaming committee, PS3 as well WII fanboys!!

Ouch, I just got burnt! Doh! :P

Ps. did you edit beacuse I saw First of All you idiot! :O  anyways Chivalery never works DOH! 

That's ok, cause I always thought you were a shit stirrer and your post were always against the ps3. We r bound to hits heads. Lets just leave it as you like the wii and you think it will win and I like the ps3 and know it will win :D There we go we can be pals! or Both be black sheep :P

ALL hail Lord Mario! Wii ftw :D

 Hear hear, that is what's most important of all.
