Everytime there's a article slightly threatening the ps3 all the fanboys try to defend it. The fact is that consumers win in the end because the 360 and the ps3 have to make better games and charge better prices to convince people to buy there products. </p> <p>I own all this generations consoles and as much as I like the ps2, so far the ps3 has not made that many good games though that is sure to change over the next couple of months. But if the prodecessor of the 360 is released within the next 3 years the ps3 is in big trouble. Hopefully the ps3 starts getting exclusives that push the hardware and give the ps3 a bit of an edge but if every game starts going multiplatform I don't see the point in purchasing a ps3.</p> <p> </p> It seems that ps3 owners seem to be more hardcore in the sense that they look up more websites and find out the latest stuff about the gaming biz, but don’t actually play any of the games.
