But now with the PS3 people have a choice in next gen consoles so the demand took a hit on the ebay market. Plus everyone jumped in the whole selling them for profit and oversaturated the market by buying like 10 of them and trying to resell them. Greed was mostly to blame this round I think.
Im not an expert on the whole buisiness aspect but I dont really care about the blue ray or HD or whatever format hell I dont even have a HD tv to see the difference. Sure the PS3 had lackluster launch titles with 1 or 2 games as must haves. But you can say that for pretty much any system launch. I dunno maybe Im just wierd. But all this is coming from a person that loved the Sega Dreamcast system very much and it tanked so what do I know.

The reason why everything around the PS3 is negative is because its basically a more expensive Xbox 360. For example, nearly every once exclusive for Sony will make an appearance on the 360. Virtual Fighter 5 for example just got moved to Xbox 360 too, Tekken rumors, some MSG rumors, etc. Assassins Creed was suppose to be PS3 exclusive, nope its on all platforms (except Wii). Its compounded by the fact that Sony still has lackluster development tools, and even though developers have had PS3 dev kits longer than Xbox 360 developers have had them (hard to believe when Xbox 360 is a year older, but its true) and yet the PS3 launch games that are multiplatform come with worse graphics.
It was a horrible launch by Sony, it should get better but I simply see no purpose to own one right now, or really till the end of this generation.
That comes down to the fact that the "HD Generation" is just simply far to expensive to develop for only one console and expect to even not loss a couple million.
