you have the remember multiplatform games are generally better optimized on the console so even if it has aging hardware it will still run comparable to PC system built 2-3 years or so after that. It helps it doesn't require API to run the games and there's not like 40 million processes running the background. Then you take first party studios like Epic Games and Naughty Dog and your jaws just drop at how much value they can still squeeze out of those things.

the majority of the population aren't hardcore enough to shell out $600+ every couple of years just to see 8x MSAA/ambient occlusion maxed out textures avg 60fps....especially if you play on average an hour a day. To them, 640p @30fps is just fine...I'm sure they rather keep that extra $600-1000 for something else. .and with the ps3 you also get blu-ray playback and doubles up as a media streamer...at $250 these days that's still a good deal.
argueably PC gaming is a million times the value, as you never pay for games..



ahh what?

I always prefer PC or everything and for playing BF3, when i go play on the 360 with my buddies i'm at the point where its like lol.. are you kidding me, 16 player games vs 64 player, etc. etc.

however, i've always played GTA's on the console so i dont mind buying it for PS3
