I don't think its that bad not its 2009 guys not 2006/2007 and the ps3 is getting better and its selling well and having great games coming in 2010

It's last place with no hope of even making second place. SOny went from lucky breaks and 1st place in two generations to the bottom. The Playstation brand has been destroyed and will never be what it once was. Xbox is the new leading brand in video game entertainment. Wii doesn't count, it's last gen tech with a gimmicky controller and we'll see what happens when Natal upstages that.

come on who cares if the ps3 is in last place doesn't make the ps3 bad it had a really rough start and the wii is not gimmicky and no offense atleast the wii has controllers and have hardcore games and natal to me is going to be limited and stupid without an controler it doesn't make sense

How come i keep seeing you defend the ps3 and go against 360?

Because hes another brownie from the Playstation Academy.

I'm not from playstation universty and atleast playstation universty respects all gamers and don't ban people for stupid reasons

How would you know that if youre not from there?

Hes gone on a 1356 day vacation to banville

I like Sony, it has some cool cellphones and amazing Home Cinemas....oh wait, this is about the PS3? Then yeah, thats some fucked up shit, probably cuz of the Cell.

Lol I knew killer7 was a brownie! A butthurt one!

The PSone did well becuase Sega dropped the ball with the excellent Saturn and Nintendo was too late out of the gate with the N64. Sony had no competition and developers only had one choice, make games for the PSone or sell next to nothing.

The PS2 did well thanks entirely to the PSone's reputation. Developers moved right over from the PSone to the PS2. Sega was pushed out of market and once again Sony found themselves the only viable platform while Nintendo and Microsoft were readying their machines.

But this generation hasn't been so lucky for Sony. Microsoft was the first out of the gate and this time developers only had one choice, make games for the Xbox 360 or sell next to nothing. Both Nintendo and Sony waited and Nintendo took all the steam away from Sony.

Sony no longer has the loyal third party support that fell in the PSone and PS2's laps. They made all the wrong choices, mostly out of arrogance. The Wii went for casuals, the Xbox 360 went for core gamers, and Sony was left with Blu-Ray watchers and hardcore Sony fanslaves who are now a minority.

Sony thought the world would always go their way, and that complacency has let Microsoft strike fast and hard and put Sony back were they belong. At the bottom.

343_Guilty_Spark FOR PRESIDENT!

Sony just got off to a rocky start since they were a bit cocky after the immense success of the PS2. I think when it comes to first party exclusive titles the Playstation brand still remains strong since they make some damn good games. Don't get me wrong, I love my 360, but PS3 really stole this year for me with inFamous, Demons Souls, Killzone 2 (multiplayer, the sp stunk), and Uncharted 2. The new Ratchet game is supposed to be superb too, but I haven't gotten a chance to play my copy yet. 2010 is looking even better since God of War III is coming out which I'm super excited for after playing the demo. I'm just crossing my fingers that Microsoft brings back Project Gotham Racing next year.

Different opinions is all. I personally loved it. I also really liked Ninja Blade too despite that game getting fairly poor reviews. The boss battles in that game were stellar.
