And Nintendo continues to bore me to death. Too bad Sony dropped the ball on the PSP and the Vita, Nintendo has really been disappointing since, oh, 1996 or so.

Sony dropped the ball on the PS3 -- way overpriced at release (still is in my opinion), then took out the backwards compatibility, then changed the price, then slimmed it down, then made new GB sizes, then the PSN crash that lasted a month....  All that aside the games for it suck and fewer PS3 consoles have been sold this generation, leaving it beat by both Wii and 360.

I agree for the most part, but to each their own. I don't think anyone's been particularly exciting since Sixth Generation consoles. How many times has Infinity Ward made the same damn Call of Duty game, and how many franchises do the same damn thing? They're coming out with another one soon too, god help us all... I haven't bought a game in the past couple months that was made more recently than six years ago. Next gen will hopefully change things up and finally top 6th gen, because it hasn't happened yet...

+1. The PS2 was a great system, and the PS3 is an overpriced graphics card in a massive box. This is why I use my PC for my "HD" gaming, and use the Wii and Xbox 360 for their much stronger console/platform gaming experiences.

Any exclusive titles that make it worth the high purchase price? I feel like most of the games that I would enjoy on PS3 are cross platform anyways. If you're judging just by high quality exclusive titles, both Microsoft and Nintendo have it beat by a mile.

Then again, if there's that ONE game you absolutely need to have and it's only on PS3, that would justify the purchase, but otherwise the other options are much stronger, and the sales figures show that. All of this is IMHO by the way, just thinking out loud.

The ps3 is pricey , still, but there are definitely some 1st party games that can make it worth the purchase.

Uncharted, mainly Uncharted 2, fantastic game
Ratchet and Clank
God of War , 3 was great but I more so enjoyed the HD collection of the PSP ports
Infamous - amazing game
Demon Souls (yes, there is a PC port but started here)
Super Stardust HD

If you are an RPG fan, the amount and calibur or titles on PS3 only > everything else.
Valkyria Chronicles
Resonance of Fate
Atelier series

Im not huge on shooters but Killzone and Resistance are both highly rated
and of course, Little Big Planet, mindless self indulgence.
