Why your PS3 sucks
Face it. The thing sucks. I have one and cry every time I turn it on. I suppose it’s come in handy as games started coming out, but I really just bought it as a cheap Blu-Ray player. At the time I bought it, $399 was the price point and that was as cheap as Blu-Ray Players got. Sure, games started coming out that got me interested, but no real exclusives to get me behind it enough to really mean it when I tell people it’s the superior console. It is, but it isn’t at the same time. Here’s why:
1. Price: No so much anymore, actually. For the sake of argument and history, we’ll make the argument. The PS3 was the most expensive console on the market. Sure, it’s a cheap Blu-Ray Player, but people just weren’t making the move to Blu-Ray anyways. They still aren’t. Read this. No one was buying the PS3 and they were instead flocking over to the XBox 360. This allowed more money to be put into development for more games.
2. Games, Games, Games: Sorry, but no one’s gonna flock to a console when one of your biggest games is Little Big Planet. Sure, the concept is good, but I think people will have more fun with Left for Dead or Gears of War. Playstation has no PS3 exclusive games worth making you shell out for the cost. The PS3 has been too expensive for too long that there is no development behind it and the the boys at Microsoft have clearly taken advantage of that.
3. Online Play: The online experience flat out sucks. For the cost of it, $0, it’s actually outstanding. If you’re lucky you will connect to someone almost seamlessly and play a game before getting booted after 20 minutes. That’s not a bad record. The XBox 360, even though you have to pay a yearly fee of about $50, has waaaaay better online play. You can chat while loading a game, and even boot a gameduring that chat.
4. Graphics: Now, here’s where you might be wondering, why is he complaining about the graphics? Everyone knows the PS3 has the best graphics on the market right now! That may be true, but developers are having so many issues creating games that they’re not using the full potential of the machine. In fact, development for the XBox 360 has moved so far, so quickly, that it actually has superior graphics. Crazy eh?
So, there you go! The PS3 is a piece of garbage and you might as well throw it there, because you and your PS3 would be better off there.
Now, don’t think this is an XBox 360 fan boy or Nintendo Wii fan boy article, cuz it’s not. I made that clear with my article on why the Wii sucks. So, the XBox 360 isn’t safe, and I got those sons of bitches in my sight for my next article!
