Surrounded by PS3 hate

Wow. Its crazy how just about everywhere you look everyone LOVES the Wii. I'm also amazed at how many people are not showing the PS3 any love. Its pretty funny actually, how people are judging a system on a mediocre launch which is pretty much a fair argument because the launch only had one must have game.

But let's not act like this hasn't happened before. We can look back at the N64 and say that a system doesn't need a ton of games to do well at launch, just the right ones. The N64 launch was a success, the system was not. So immediately all of the people that say the PS3 is failing can take a walk, its too early to tell.

What I find absolutely fascinating is people saying that the system is inferior to the Wii, the 360 or both. My question is, how would you know? Accept the fact that very very few of us actually have a PS3, so none of us would really know. Playing it in a store for 5 minutes doesn't count. Its like when you get your license, someone in the car with you for 5 minutes doesn't determine your quality as a driver, only over time is that established. Its not particularly fair to judge a system based on whatever demo game is running at your Best Buy, CC, Target etc.

And that's really all we should be doing. Sure, bash Sony for not being sensitive to the hardcore gamer and for the short supply, but enough complaining about how bad a piece of equipment that most of us don't own is. And enough about the price, we know how much it costs and none of us like it. And it isn't one the reasons the system gets a lot of heat, let's face it, that's the MAIN reason the sytem gets heat. But let's not get all GeArS Of WaR ROOlz LOLZ in here, especially when comparing to something most of us can't experiance first hand.

Thank You

Who's There? It isn't even Who's Left? The question is, who gives a shit? Last edited by dablackguy; 12-22-2006 at 02:41 PM.
