@nomither6 if you really want to compare fair prices , at todays inflation rate the ps3 would be almost 1,000 dollars. and would still be the most expensive console even compared to the ps5 pro.
@TheArt sadly the only game that really took advantage of what the chip set could do in the ps3 was first party games, 3rd party dev's hated it , and the 360 versions were always way better then the ps3 versions. i keep seeing so much love for the ps3 but no one bought games back then ( if they did we'd still would have killzone , resistance , motorstorm and infamous). in all reality the ps3 almost killed the brand. and this is coming from some one that still plays their ps3 to this day.
@dBackLash while its great to see so many people have good memories of the ps3 now in 2025 , it seems people have forgotten the ps3 was also the console that could have easily killed the playstation brand, 3rd party games played horribly on the console vs the xbox 360. developers actually hated porting games over or even making games for it. lucky they had some great 1st party teams that pretty much carried the back half of the ps3 cycle and pretty much saved it. the only issue is , people didn't even really buy those games either. a lot of those games people keep bringing up sold really poorly back then. which is why they stopped making them. the ps4 pretty much saved the playstation brand. Not to mention the most expensive playstation console of all time with inflation the ps3 price with 60gb would be $934 .
@Czar_Khastik while that would be great , 8k content isn't even close yet , there are 8k tv's and they are just so crazy expensive i can't really even see a single reason other then youtube videos that have 8k to even need one yet.
@MrGawain i mean if you are going by that the ps3 had a horrible engagement rate , in fact the main selling point was it was actually the cheapest blu-ray player on the market , like how the ps2 was the cheapest dvd player on the market. and best quality movie players as well. people keep bringing up infamous , resistance , killzone games , but a lot of those games struggled to sell over 1 million copies when there was what 86 million consoles?
it took a few years for the ps3 to slightly pass the 360 in sales , but the ps3 did finish off strong in sales , as they still sold a decent amount after the ps4 came out.
@Simu001 i'd say cyberpunk is a pretty good example i mean it wasn't unplayable but they really did make a lot of improvements / quality upgrades after release.
@viktorcode this is why , when people act like they hate live service games i show them games like this or gt7 both keep pumping out updates and neither makes you pay for them. they keep making content to have users keep playing the game , and it makes it worth paying for these games because you always have new stuff to play.
the dual sense features i actually like , including the feed back you can get in some games , also how fast the games boot up , ect , has made the ssd worth it. my only issue is sony has been keeping lot of their games too secretive, they have all these studios working on games no one even knows about.
if they are making a big update then that makes sense to hold off on the ps5 port till the update is finished so the ps5 gets the best version at launch instead of launching it then a month or two later the game is totally different.
@SuntannedDuck2 the whole thing with games like Yotei , ect , is how fast the game not only boots up , but even fast travel is instant. that's the ssd and how fast it can read data. i'm so used to how fast the ps5 loading times are , i booted my ps3 up and was playing a game and i thought it was frozen because of how long a first part game would take to boot up.
@Vladspartan i mean between the ps3 and ps4 was 7 years , and ps4 to ps5 was 7 years if the ps6 comes out in 2027 thats 7 years after the ps5 came out.
@carlos82 honestly outside of the rumored handheld i can't really see a use for it , but like every one said , it would make it run better on a handheld , so it mostly means it fuels to the handheld rumor.
@PuppetMaster i know downpour was looked down by some back then but i actually enjoyed it , i found that it gave a different perspective of the series.
having a genre game is one thing , making it a strait up copy is another lol. i mean they even advertised it as a strait up copy. they didn't even hide it either.
@Propaperpusher if you can get the 3d ps tv i would highly recommend it , i played a few games in 3d it was pretty cool , pretty ahead of its time back then , playing killzone 3 in 3d was prob the best imo. honestly if there was one item i wish they would revisit would be making another one of these tv's but in 4k for the ps5/ps6.
@Oram77 i hear you on that. but i'll always have a soft spot for the ps3 , hell i even bought the 3d ps3 tv , randomly i'll boot it up and play a game for the memories , i think i have a bunch of games i never finished as well.
@Giberaltor while that would be great , its never going to happen , i've given up on that pipe dream a long time ago. also a lot of ps3 games didn't age as well as you think.
between bluepoint , nixes , they should be using these studios or even sony bend to remaster/remake ps3 games imo. series like restance , infamous , killzone even the rachet and clank games could benefit from modern day remasters.
people acting like the ps5 is already done , but next year we still have gta 6 , saros , wolverine , resident evil requiem, nioh 3 , 007 first light, just to name a few , we could still get a surprise or two , with release dates and unannounced games.
@PuppetMaster i'm 100% saying its not happening , they pretty much confirmed it as well with the reports saying ps4/ps5 bc. i've made my peace a long time ago , which is why i still have my ps3 plugged in whenever i have that want to play a ps3 game.
@Bramble the older you get it seems like time goes by faster but in reality its the same time frame as all the other consoles and is still 2 to 2 1/2 years away
@Andy22385 and honestly since the ps6 will be able to play ps4 and ps5 games it will be the best console to play those games , i ended up finishing up some ps4 games on the ps5.
@MasterChiefWiggum i mean you say its too soon , ( its still 2 years if these rumors are even true), but if you look at the average time span between consoles its 6-7 years and 2027 is year number 7.
@BusyOlf its still a pretty valid reason why the generation got off to a slow start , the fact that gaming companies were able to manage around that situation and still were able to launch a console successfully, only leaves us with what if's of if games came out sooner would they be working on something new or would it be the same ? i guess we'll never know.
@Questionable_Duck i said this in the past honestly i want that , having a detachable disc drive is the best move they could make, why? the majority of console issues is always the disc drive , instead of sending the full console in for repair they can send you a replacement drive and then you are good to go.
the funny thing is looking back sony waited 7 years to release a new console ps3 to ps4 was 7 years , ps4 to ps5 was also 7 years , and a 2027 release year would be , 7 years after the ps5 came out.
seeing the infamous photo got me hyped for a second then realized it was just a what are you playing this weekend post , infamous maybe you'll return some day.
having less time to actually sit and play games i haven't bought games as much as i used to however i did buy a few more games recently like silent hill f and ghosts , but i still have a lot of games i need to go back and complete , and i skipped a few games along the way that either i'll forget about or hopefully eventually play them. but i mean the numbers don't lie , so many consoles out there , and you have a lot of games that fail to sell a decent amount? i'm always curious what games do people even play if they had a ps3 or ps4 or ps5.
@BennyTheCat aw1 is great and you should play it anyways , but i don't think you really need to play aw1 before aw2 to really enjoy it other then hes a writer its pretty much a brand new story.
i bought it last year when they had a pretty good sale on the full game and deluxe version , so getting this game on ps+ is 1000% worth getting the upgrade for 6$. perfect game for the spoopies season.
