I still say it's a terrible shame how terrorists held a gun to Sony's head and forced them to price the PS3 at $499-$599.

Is the PS3 already the Gamecube of this generation?

LBP is groundbreaking. Period.
Seeing as how this generation is going to last for a while now, i'd probably say no. I think the PS3 almost objectively has a superior 2k9 lineup than the 360(but then again, since when does MS show their games early?). The PS3 has Blu-Ray, which will probably eventually take off at some point. The PS3 definitely is still a contender for second place, and it sure as fuck has more support than the gamecube. Equating this gen to last is inane anyway, though. Sony could probably do a lot better if they dropped the price and marketed their titles effectively(fat chance right? hur hur). But I can see already that they're focused on profitability and making back the money they invested in the PS3. A smart idea, seeing as how luxuries like Blu-Ray and HDTVs and game systems are an even smaller priority in the current global market. Plus, it's not like they're really getting spanked by the 360 to the point of losing significant support and the like. Especially when quite a few publishers have been recently reporting the platform as earning more revenue overall than the 360.
short version: This topic is nonsensical and a bad comparison, and is likely to start a stupid flamewar. And it has.

Honestly, you'd have to be an idiot to think PS3 had no games. There have been plenty of worse systems.
But wow @ people getting annoyed that someone might think Wii has a better lineup. It's all in what you're looking for. Personally, I base the quality of a console on its exclusives.

Why? Do you only play exclusives? You're missing out if so.
what is so groundbreakingdrakesfortune said:
an editor..?
because there were a lot of games that had such features (even tonyhawk)
the sharing of user created content..?
because spore did that too.. and to some extent warcraft of starcraft with their map editors
platforming..?
oh never mind
hardware wise its probably more then 3 times (isnt it like 35 times more powerful then the 360 according to sony)WrikaWrek said:
dunno what you mean systemwise.. (probably the specs)
but gameswise i dont agree
gamecube had a very splendid lineup with a lot of exclusives..
PS3 has a lot of multiplats but not so many exclusives
but yes its still in its 2nd year..

What was so groundbreaking about Zelda/Mario 64?
Is it because they were in 3D?
There were plenty of other games that were already in 3D at the time...
Jumping Flash did that.

No, I buy multi-platform games on 360 because of Xbox Live and achievements.
So in that case, when it comes down Wii vs. PS3, I look at exclusives. In which case, Wii wins for me.
But truth be told, I like 360's exclusives more than Wii's, so 360 wins hands down for me either way.
I really am the furthest thing from a console fanboy. I used to be more of one back in the day, but I absolutely hated Xbox. I thought it was shit. Now 360 is my third favorite console ever, behind PS1 and SNES. It pushed DC to fourth, which took a lot!

No, graphics are an opinion. Some people think the Gears depth of field (distance blur) looks great, while I find the shimmering due to the distance blur looks awful. Just the same, since the tree branches are so low resolution in RE4 (they seem to be sprites rendered in a much lower resolution than the rest of the game), the shimmering and artifacting as a result of that looks awful. That doesn't change the fact that I think the art style of the game is superb.

Maybe LittleBigPlanet handled the creation and sharing aspect in a way that established itself as a groundbreaking title?

The 'H' stands for hentai.
To be honest I loved the gamecube, so I don't mind if the PS3 has the same position as the gamecube in my heart.
Sales are a different story, I want the PS3 to sell well.

Opinions are like assholes.
This thread has the biggest bunch of opinions I've seen in some time.

The PS3 has outsold the 360 this year globally. PS3 games sales have been very healthy this year. Many PS3 and Xbox 360 games sell about the same globally, especially titles that are popular in Europe. Just about every multiplatform will be released on both platforms. Both the PS3 and 360 have great exclusives.
The PS3 is doing surprisingly well in fact, despite the price difference compared to the 360. There's no reason to think that the PS3 will end up like the Gamecube: a handful of great exclusives yet no multiplatform support at all. Publishers *need* PS3 game sales to finance HD games. Because PS3 game sales are already good and since the PS3 user base is growing game sales will only improve.
I agree with Segata. Please, stop with discussions of taste. It's irrelevant in this particular thread.
Of course, that would reduce this thread to 1 post per day instead of 1 page per hour, but I'd gladly accept a much slower sales thread if it meant people would stop firing vituperations across both bows.
And I'll repeat again that I don't think the PS3 will suffer the same fate as the Gamecube in terms of raw unit sales, if for no other reason than that it will likely approach the Gamecube's LTD sales by the end of the year.

Mega Man Legends had lock on also which came out at the same time as Zelda OoT. Zelda wasn't the only one. It worked really well in Mega Man Legends.
User controlled camera was used in other games at the same time as Mario 64.
Although they may get the credit neither did much that other games weren't doing at the time. Motion control in the Wii was also done by Track VR before the Wii did it just to farther the point.
PS3 is a weird beast. It might end up being the most expensive, best software lineup and most technologically forward thinking last place console, ever. (Say that 5 times fast!) I hope Sony eventually makes a pile of money on it because even with the horrible start its turned into a stellar entertainment product.
Chances are though, Sony will still loose more money this gen than they make. Better luck next time, eh?
