Only months?

Dude, anyone with half a brain knew they'd put one out when the original PS3 was first unveiled. That thing is a monstrosity.

I'm not planning on buying a PS3 until Gran Turismo 5 comes out. So I'll probably get one in December.

for me it's FF13. that game is the killer app for the ps3 for me.

if sony had both GT5 and FF13 for the launch of PS3, ppl would have bought the console in droves

It's actually pretty amazing how much this matters nowadays.

Compare Super Stardust HD on the PS3 to Geometry Wars on the 360. Both are controlled the exact same way; only the analog sticks. Try playing on the PS3, then try playing on the 360, and you'll immediately realize how important it is that these things have at least something to hold your thumbs in place. The 360 wins this category by default.

But I'm still giving the edge to the DS3 in terms of overall best controller.

Well it definitely would have helped, but in retrospect, I think the initial price of the PS3 killed off a lot of its potential from the get-go. I used to think that even with its outstanding $599.99 debut number, it would still take over the industry like the PS2. But not even a month after launch, it was apparent that wasn't true.

Now that its been reduced to a gamer-budget price, it can do well in the market it's intended for.

The PS3 was essentially priced like an entertainment piece for gadget freaks at first...a Blu-ray player and a game machine wrapped into one for 600 bones is a little beyond the league most gamers are in. Its a smaller market and can't be utilized like previous console generations. The success Sony needed to achieve in order to make it all worth it and profitable was absurd.

At least now its cheap enough where its actually reasonable in the mainstream public's eyes.

Now all they need are some good exclusive games.

And no, a racing game isn't going to cut it.

And FF13 is being released for the 360, so there goes THAT advantage.
