1) The anti-Wii propaganda of the gaming community's ayatollahs:

The Wii brought something new and quite exciting on the table, and i still don't get all the hate/anger it has created amongst the so-called "hardcore": sure, the Wii could be more powerful, have a better online system, and a real storage solution... but what would be the point of having three similar systems with the exact same library and the exact same features? If masterpieces were possible on PS2 and its limited graphics, why suddenly would they be impossible on 3x/4x more powerful Wii? Because of 480p only? Give me a break...

2) The lack of creativity and the lack of support on Wii:

Sure, my point 1 and all that propaganda kept many devs away from the Wii (because it's a fad, it's too weak, it's for kids, it's for grannys, it's for Nintendo games only, it's for last gen ports, it's for mini-games, etc, etc). But anyway, i thought many teams would at least try something new, and bring some real efforts, thanks to lower dev budgets and the new control method... and what we've got is an industry playing it too safe, or not even trying at all, on the console with the largest userbase... such a shame...

3) The PS3 fiasco:

The price of the hardware and the softwares, and the lack of PS2 backward compatibility, kept me away from what should have been my second console this gen... if i can play GC games on my Wii (plus NES/SNES/N64 on VC), why can't i also play PS and PS2 games on a PS3, and have the best of the three Sony generations on the same hardware? And why am i supposed to pay 70 (70!!!) euros for a new game? Because the dev budgets on PS3 have now exploded? Gaming is not supposed to be an elitist thing, gaming is for everyone, and Sony should have known it better than anyone else...

1) Wii graphics....I was like WTF???

Nothing else, I am very careful on what i buy

3) the lack of JRPGs this gen

2) game hyping 3 years in advance

1) the gaming community

The entire dualshock fiasco

ultraslick said: The entire dualshock fiasco

really? I hardly notice rumble and in most games I turn it off. It uses too much battery and to me adds little. Then again, Dualshock 3 has better analog sticks than the Sixaxis did.

 

1. PS3 Price and lack of casual games
2. Kirby Will delays
3. SSBB bad online experince - this is my favorite fighting game (ever) so it kills me

im pretty sure rrod helps the 360 cuz alot of people just rebought a 360

ps3 3rd
ps3 2x price of 360
ps3 mutliplat games looks worser then 360

1) The Force Unleashed. Come on, LucasArts, you can do better than that!

2) Conviction is 360 exclusive? WHAT? Bastards...

3) The PSP. The whole thing. I really thought it was capable of more. It needs another analog stick. I've bought one game for it in the last year!

1. Wii
2. GTA4
3. RROD x3 (yeah its happend 3 times now >_

1- Unreliable hardware. The 360 deserves the majority of the blame, but the PS3 has a few problems of it's own.

2- Looooong development cycles- Resident Evil 5, Tekken 6, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wait, Killzone 2 etc are all taking forever.

3- Paying for online.
