The PS3 was ahead of its time. I bought one last year and modded it and am amazed at how well it holds up. I couldn’t even imagine how mind blowing this thing was in 06.:wow:

Horrible opinion lol

PS4 is the reason PS5 is in such a dominant position now, games make consoles, PS4 didn’t have shyt for the first year or so but then it dropped Bloodbourne then literally didn’t stop spewing out classics for 5 years straight since

Ps3 momentum combined with the Xbox one rollout is why ps5 is where it is. Ps4 ain't have shyt for the first 3 years, not one.

more like Ps2-ps4-ps3-ps5 (graphics aint everything) the graphical gap between the 5 and 4 is not as wide as 2 to 3 or 3 to 4...

quality games ps2 has many classics, so does the ps3 and ps4..Ps5 is just post modern gaming living of past nostalgia nothing really new

The Xbox 360/PS3 era was easily the best time in videogame history. More new game franchises, more player engagement, Prime E3 presentations, Best videogame trailers, Peak console war fukkery, etc. I don't think we will ever see as good a time in gaming as those days.

That said, from a hardware perspective the PS3 was overpriced and hard to develop for. It was missing several promised features like multiple HDMI outputs, 4 front USB ports, etc. The PS3 killed off backwards compatibility too. Its saving grace was that it was the cheapest full functioning Blu-ray player for a few years. Many people don't remember, but the first generation of Blu-ray players were missing features (BD-Live), with many not able to be and weren't upgradeable. So the PS3 was the only safe purchase.
