The PS3 did not finish last in this generation of console wars, in fact it is fixing to finish in first place when everything is said and done. There are 2 reasons why the 360 has sold more than the PS3. Reason 1 is that it was released a year earlier and by jumping the gun on the next gen console war they stole a large percentage of the consumers. Reason 2 is that it was selling for nearly half the price of the PS3 which was expensive due to the inclusion of a blu-ray player which was brand new technology when the PS3 was released. There are 2 reasons why the Wii sold better than the PS3. The first reason is similar to one of the 360 reasons and that is price. Generally people will gravitate towards products that cost less money. The 2nd reason is that the Wii appealed to a wider range of audience and not just core gamers.

Statistically the PS3 is on route to outsell the Xbox360 overall despite being released a year later at nearly double the cost. When it comes to worldwide sales the PS3 is winning by a large margin yet the 360 has the majority of the North American market.

When it comes to the PS4 it is technically and financially superior to the XboxOne. They both have their share of launch titles and cool features. Sony however didn’t have to reverse all of their policies in order to compete with the competition.

My PS3 sure does have lots of life left in it and I will continue to play it, but after 7 years of enjoying it I’m definitely ready for the next generation of console gaming. The PS4 being released later this year is perfect in my opinion.

Sony have already announced that there is much more to come in the coming months and in my opinion they have also confirmed that they have learned from their mistakes with the PS3 and that’d only going on what we know so far.

Ravi (author), objective writing doesn’t appear to be your strong point, have you thought about politics?

This conference was an unveiling. It was them showing us that something exists. People predicted a 30 minute show, a box on a spinning platform and a few pieces of vague information about specifications.

Instead, we got full detailed specs, a treasure trove of information regarding social services and online improvements, loads of information on games and developers, and a conference that lasted up to 2 hours. For an unveiling, that’s damn impressive.

You are being so cynical. That “floating head” is revolutionary if that is what we can do in real time. Stop being such a pessimist.

So yes, we don’t have the standout title yet. And yes, I’m shouting that we have nine months before this console hits. Nine months to build upon the most impressive foundation a console announcement has arguably ever made. Nine months to show us more. Nine months to add on what was announced in just two hours, that before would have taken the entire nine months to do in previous years.

You are simply wrong. PS4, at this point anyway, is the most promising console in ages. If they sit on it and do nothing with the information they provided, then I’m inclined to agree with you. But this was far too pre-emptive.

What a terrible article.
