ps3 is strong, but with no games to back it up, that's the problem.

The PS3 has wonderful hardware no doubt, but what does it matter when it has very few exclusives to back it up. For christ sake it's a console not a computer, why isn't focusing on making exclusives?

No, a console is not a computer. In this case, its more powerful.

Yes but that's not why it was made. It was made to play games, which is why sony needs to focus on making exclusives so we can crush thoose other next gen systems :twisted:
