Sony released a Cheap junk PS3 console to boost sales towards the end it was rubbish, I’m talking about the one that had most of its features dropped and had that terrible manual eject Blu-ray drive.

Rubbish? According to who? Not according to the millions of people who bought the PS3 and generated a demand that allowed Sony to win the last console sales contest. Which MS was winning with an entire year head start.

Do you really think people late to the PS3 really cared about the eject button when they were playing The Last of Us? I highly doubt people were mad they couldn’t load Linux on their PS3s when they were playing Uncharted 2. Sony did trim a few features, but they delivered great games in their place. Sony always delivers great games because they nurture talent. MS for the most part just tosses money at studios, the difference in strategies shows in the games, especially the TRUE exclusives.

I get it you don’t like Sony or PlayStation, that is fine you don’t have to like them. Suggesting that Sony used a bad strategy to deliver an economically viable console which lead to their success in the last generation is just silly talk.

Please don’t get all SJ777 or 7770777 on me. No one wants to be that guy.

Well yeah, but let’s just give the 360 the W in that category. Both systems were GREAT for what they brought to the table!

Although the 360 had better multiplats,

PS3 started to get parity with 360 in terms of third party games and some games actually exceeded the 360 on PS3 in terms of graphical prowess. It was usually in the form of better effects or anti-aliasing.

Sales are a great metric to judge failure and success so I questioned @gabegreca:disqus’ definition of failure given the success of the PS3 hardware.

The chart is a very good response. Is the concept of sales being a metric for success over your head?

When console devs say customized mostly they mean governed down, sometimes to prevent bottle-necking so there almost is always more power more potential when consoles are first released. Now as to how it can be tamed, if you have years so many in fact that the console is almost obsolete to study, make compare driver updates those that work and down then yes you can open some potential up though it makes little difference once the console is about 5 to 6 years in. I play every system yes I have a favorite but when I look at which I play which games on I go by who I want to play that game with, friends on which system, I rarely buy double games. I do look at the hardware and how the console dev utilizes it, I do not get caught up in who will out do who in sells or power. Truth be told each system could out do the other if they know what the other is doing, sometimes I wish they would hold the specs to some existent until the day they are prepared to put them out for preorder. As for 1st party games it changes year to year so what-ever. I love PS Xbox PC, even Nintendo they all have their pros and cons if your just looking for one thing then go after that one thing and be blind to, well everything but if your willing to see your systems defects then you can demand they make it better. For instance most gamers think that the Gddr3 ram is bad and yes it is but it is the eSRam that made the Xbox One faster by GB per seconds that made it so hard to work with, eSRam is great for boosting systems but it works best to boost an already stable system and works poorly when it is used to stabilize that system, and now Xbox has opted not to use eSRam on the XBOX (Xbox One X) the best reason is not that it did not work but it did not work well and it was difficult to optimize games with, unlike conventional ram; though I would of used it with the 12gb of gddr5 ram to help with more taxing games even a small amount would of helped allot. I could go on but why and I could go though each console the same way but why, each of us needs to do it for ourselves and stop being told which is best because the truth of the matter is “best” is subjective to each gamer and what their expectations and abilities are.

Although the 360 had better multiplats, even I could see Uncharted and Last of Us was graphically the best out!
