@calvincfb: Yeah which is why people will go out and pay over the odds for a shit console. Says a lot about them.

@tgob89: Well yeah they had to draw the line somewhere. They can't go offering everyone a lifetime warranty.

If they had given people a two year warranty there would still be people who's console broke just after the two years was up.

It's not Microsoft's fault you had bad luck. The fact they offered an extended warranty at all is more than a lot of companies would have done.

@calvincfb: Quality exclusives sure but it had worse pretty much everything else. THAT is the point. I don't buy a console just for one or two good games. It has to be a good overall device. The PS3 wasn't.

Yeah sure it had The Last of Us. God of War was fun. I've always liked Quantic Dream's games. I never got on with Uncharted. Gran Turismo 5 and 6 were the worst GT games ever made.

BUT fanboys aside ALL platforms have good exclusive games. So saying PS3 had good exclusives doesn't set it apart. Not when PC and 360 had good exclusives and were better devices overall.

The PS3 was badly designed and WAY overpriced.

@calvincfb: Yeah blind devotion to brands by the sheep masses is a hard thing to get rid of and the reason why crap like loot boxes and microtransactions are now rotting the industry from the inside out because people are too dumb to pick their purchases. Instead they just run in and buy everything like the good little brainless consumers they are.

The only thing PS3 sales prove is that sales mean nothing. Look at the Wii. It sold more than the PS3 and 360 combined and yet it was sat next to most people's TV not being used 90% of the year.

I didn't even mention how dogshit the PS3 servers were. They were so bad they even effected the PS4 when it first came out. They were SO bad it took nearly a year and a half into the PS4 lifecycle to sort out. No **** the PS3. It was the worst console Sony or perhaps anyone has ever made.

A flaming bag of dog sh*t would sell better than the PS3. I still to this day can't understand how people liked that console. It was f*cking awful! I bought one for cheap at the end of last gen and I've regretted it ever since.

The controller was trash, let down by its terrible triggers that weren't pressure sensitive and made your fingers slip off of them.

The operating system was slow and clunky.

The way you had to download and install games was draconian. Steam and Xbox had it down that you download a game and then it will install it automatically. No, that was too much for Sony, you had to wait for it to download and then manually click to install it. Morons. So you leave your console on at night and then you'd still have to hit install the next morning instead of it being ready. Wasting time and electricity.

Then you had the fanboys banging on about its exclusives like they were the second coming. This was true on Xbox 360 as well but still annoying on both.

Then to top it off the CPU was an absolute monstrosity that made development a massive pain and most multi platform games ran worse on PS3 despite it technically being more powerful.

PS3 for me was just a masterclass in incompetence.

@davillain-: That's what I was thinking I had RROD 3 times, got it repaired twice for free and then they just gave me a new console the third time. Which I still have.

They even shipped it by courier from my house in the UK to Germany and then back again all for nothing.
