lol, your the one who acted like I personally insulted you by saying "there are more people in the world than AtomSmasher" and going on about strange sexual fetishes when my first post mearly said that I'm tired of this argument and that I enjoy more games on the Wii then on other consoles.
Also, go back and read my first post in this thread, you might find it enlightening since you seem believe that I think the PS3 has a bad library of games (it just has a bad library of exclusives IMO, but it seems you should know that since we've already been over that exact thing in at least 3 other threads).
As I've said multiple times, I'm tired of this argument, so you won't see me saying I enjoy the Wii in the next dozen or so threads where you guys say it's library sucks. Or maybe I'll just post links to the previous debates since it's all been said before. Have fun repeating yourself though.

While I don't think the PS3 sucks, I also don't think it is great. I was shocked as the size and weight of the thing.
Gameplay is pretty much the same as the PS2 on the games I have played - they just look way better. The only real improvement in gameplay is the addition of the online content aspect, and larger and more detailed maps. In the grand scheme of things, that stuff is really just standard improvements for a new gen console. The PS3 does not have a "gotta have it" feature that the ps1 and ps2 had. And yes, the price is WAY too high.
The only thing that the PS3 offers over the Xbox is the blu ray movie player and 1080p. For most people, both of those features are not draw points.
It also seems that most of the exclusive games are FPS games. I personally like the Xbox controllers MUCH better for FPS. I really think Sony should have tweaked and redesigned the controller if they were going to concentrate so much on FPS games.

Just because the Wii has the most games I enjoy doesn't mean I hate all games on all other consoles. If that were the case, then I would be a Nintendo fanboy. The Wii is not the greatest console ever (it just *currently* has more games I enjoy then other consoles in this generation) and not everyone should buy it, but it's also not the horrid console with virtually no good games that you make it out to be. Anyways, I'm finished with derailing the thread, so feel free to post whatever you like without fear of a response.

I plan on putting it out of sight. Not just because it's hideous, but it's annoyingly noisy too.

Well when you play a game like GTA IV, it's just a much more complete and enjoyable game than it was on the PS2. The graphics in GTA IV are not overly impressive, but the level detail in the world is.
A game like Race Driver GRID is simply the most sensational racing game I ever played. Mostly because of the great gameplay. Maybe the PS2 would be capable of running the physics engine, but with this type of game the graphics do add to the magic.

In the US this might be true, but in Europe I think full HD and Blu-Ray is more important. On the other hand the US market is probably by far the biggest of the world.
Oddly enough, the PS3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 for the last 6 months though

Indeed, I forgot how bad the playstation controllers were. I gave my PS2 away years ago, but now picking up a PS3, the controllers are amazingly bad. Not sure if they are too small for my hands or something? The joysticks feel overly sensitive too (or maybe that's just because of the 2 games I played)

I'm pretty sure that Xbox 360 does 1080p without any problem. In fact, I think Xbox 360 has more games running in 1080p than PS3, but I could be wrong on that.
Also, on the noise, I have always understood that the PS3 runs super quiet and relatively cool. I know that the Xbox 360 sounds like you have a jet engine running in the house, but I thought the PS3 was supposed to be quiet. Can any other PS3 owners comment on this?
BTW, it is large, but I think the PS3 is an attractive machine. I've always thought the Xbox 360 was hideous (though not nearly as ugly as its predecessor). The Wii is has a lovely design, but it could never look the way it does if it wasn't so underpowered so its design is a bit of a double-edged sword.
