With games like LittleBigWorld and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (which looks amazing, and is taking full advantage of the blu-ray), my faith in the PS3 is renewed. (yes, I had stopped really following the system for a few months while I was getting into the 360, which is a very solid system if your hardware doesn't fail)
The developer's even stated the game would not have been possible without blu-ray, which means third party developers are finally starting to take advantage of the PS3's power potential. The blu-ray drive allows games to constantly load in the background without the player even noticing, and then lets it store the data quickly and efficiently so that there are no loading screens in the game. They are boasting a completely seamless world now, and the game uses procedural animations which look impressively smooth and polished. Finally a game which can showcase the power of the system, and this is only a start.
Those are only two games that I myself have my eye on. LittleBigWorld is something that a lot of people may not take interest in, but it looks great to me.
Honestly, it's not about systems to me.. it's about the future of gaming. The PS3 and the 360 have done their part to try to advance the way games are made. The Wii is relying on a gimmick which isn't advancing anything. The technology isn't new.. it's not even polished. It doesn't always work right, and most ports to the system are done TERRIBLY.
This is why I dislike the Wii. Because it brings nothing substantial to the table. It doesn't do anything for the quality of games in the long run, because they are just trying to just attract quick sales.
Like them or hate them, the PS3 and 360 are actually helping the game creation process, and because of systems like that we will have a higher quality of game in the long run.
