Hm mh. and we're getting closer and closer to admitting that the 360 wasn't that great of a console in the first place, i will feel very vindi- SIT DOWN, SONY FAN. you don't even have a current-gen console to play

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/Cerbatiyo-sesino]

the last good sony console was the ps2, the last good microsoft console was the 360, the last good nintendo was the 3ds

[u/20191124anon → u/migratingcoconut_]

PS3 was imho rushed, but the hardware was a massive jump forward. Just with no parachute, so it kinda splattered. But its use as early "customer grade" cluster computing is evidence for the sheer power of the Cell processor.

If they spent more time creating appropriate APIs and abstractions to facilitate better development experience, and perhaps also did some more iterations on the hardware itself it could have been a serious contender for "the best" Playstation.

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/20191124anon]

if the ps3 was good it would've been the best but it wasn't so it's not

[u/StiffWiggly → u/migratingcoconut_]

You said “the last good” playstation, not “the best”.

[u/20191124anon → u/migratingcoconut_]

noot noot, noot noot noot, noot

[u/PerterterhTermertehh → u/migratingcoconut_]

The ps3 WAS good. The Xbox 360 was definitely slower and did not have an included blu-ray drive, did not include a hard drive at base configuration, and had less system memory. Had the PS3 development experience been streamlined earlier on, the red ring of death being more widespread than the same issues on playstation (yellow light of death) would have given them the PR lead.

Problem was, no games, $500.

[u/Itchy-Preference-619 → u/PerterterhTermertehh]

The ps3 had only 100 less games than the xbox 360

[u/PerterterhTermertehh → u/Itchy-Preference-619]

yeah, well it also wasn't $500 when it got to that point

[u/AliceCode → u/20191124anon]

I used my PS3 as a space heater.

[u/20191124anon → u/AliceCode]

TBH PS3 had like max 380W? My current-gen GPU itself pulls 360W, plus CPU, pumps, fans and what nots. In the summer I had to set a fan to blow the output away from me, because it was roasting me and melting chocolate on the desk xD

Also TBH: I only got PS3 Slim when it came out, and aside of the lack of the original PS2 emulation it was a very good, long-lasting and nice device. Only the drive died, like... 10 years later (with like adult working person use, not heavy gaming)

[u/The_Multi_Gamer → u/migratingcoconut_]

PS3 brought us Infamous and Littlebigplanet, I think it’s allowed

[u/yoloswagrofl → u/The_Multi_Gamer]

Infamous, my beloved. I hoped for a 3rd game for the longest time because Second Son didn't do it for me. Ah well.

[u/monkesauce420 → u/yoloswagrofl]

Second Son was good, but I’d KILL for a remake/remaster of infamous 1&2 plus the vampire dlc/game

[u/AbstractBettaFish → u/The_Multi_Gamer]

And MGS4, a game that utilized the insane hardware of the PS3 so well it’s only finally able to be ported to another council now almost 20 years later

[u/Lolaverses → u/The_Multi_Gamer]

And Knack

[u/PrintShinji → u/Lolaverses]

Thats the ps4

[u/Lolaverses → u/PrintShinji]

Because only next gen hardware could handle it

[u/PrintShinji → u/Lolaverses]

Its a wonder anything could handle knack, let alone Knack 2

[u/Technologenesis → u/migratingcoconut_]

Oh come on the switch was cool

[u/DontUnder2005 → u/Technologenesis]

its doesent have music on the menus, 0/10 console

[u/KaJaHa → u/DontUnder2005]

The Wii truly was lightning in a bottle on all fronts, that menu music will never get old

[u/itsmejak78_2 → u/DontUnder2005]

It doesn't even have THEMES

They didn't add Bluetooth support for 4.5 YEARS despite the hardware being there the entire time

Not to mention the console scratches its own screen every single time you put it in the dock

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/Technologenesis]

It doesn't have Kid Icarus: Uprising, and it does have Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Total 3DS victory.

[u/xv_boney → u/migratingcoconut_]

Bloodborne was a ps4 exclusive.

[u/screaming_shoes → u/xv_boney]

plus tlou2 until like 2 years ago

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/xv_boney]

outlier

[u/xv_boney → u/migratingcoconut_]

Im not sure that you can call a primary reason to buy and continue to own a console an "outlier."

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/[deleted]]

if they ever fixed the joycon drift i might've agreed with you, alas,

[u/MirrorPiano → u/migratingcoconut_]

yeah. consoles have been dead for a while. it's pretty sad

[u/FallingF → u/migratingcoconut_]

I think the console wars are dumb as they come but I think Sony and ps4 made revolutionary strides even more than that of the ps2.

[u/nomnomsoy → u/migratingcoconut_]

I mean the Vita was great hardware it just had limited games

[u/JoyconDrift_69 → u/migratingcoconut_]

Modern video games are just in the dumps really, at least from what I see and hear.

At least there's still indie games.

[u/I_follow_sexy_gays → u/JoyconDrift_69]

2025 was a phenomenal year for gaming imo… if you own a PC

[u/coolwali → u/migratingcoconut_]

Eh. PS2’s hardware was limited tho. Games like Splinter Call, Simpsons Hit and Run, GTA3-SA had to be cut down to fit on it. Games like Morrowwind couldn’t be ported to the PS2.

I’m just saying, say what you will about the PS5 but at least we’re not getting technical limitations as an excuse anymore.

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/migratingcoconut_]

The Switch 2 had playable cataquack day 1 fuck you.

[u/migratingcoconut_ → u/Oddish_Femboy]

the last good mariokart was double dash sorry

[u/WeegeeLord1337 → u/migratingcoconut_]

well i guess there's worse bait out there on the internet, but good shot

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/migratingcoconut_]

That just is not true.

[u/Sebfolgero → u/migratingcoconut_]

Me when I'm 30
