Patience 360: Reasons to Wait for PS3
Don't rush out to the stores just yet! You may want to save some money and we'll tell you why.
Unless you're the type of gamer who enjoys playing his wares under a rock, then you no doubt know by now that this week marks the official launch for Microsoft's Xbox 360. Several years in the making, the brand new hardware from Gates 'N Company has been receiving plenty of consumer hype in the past few weeks and has been heralded by some as THE big system watch in the upcoming next-generation console wars.
But could they be wrong?
Don't misunderstand us -- we'll be the first to concede that the Xbox 360 is certainly an impressive system with plenty of positives to keep its customers happy (particularly its Xbox Live component). But if you're a fan of high-definition technology, enjoy playing more games than the "other guy," and want to get the most possible bang for your buck, then Sony's forthcoming PlayStation 3 may just be the system for you.
That got us to thinking. If Sony fans wanted to convince themselves that it's smart to wait for the PS3 how would they do it? Well, listed below in descending order are ten reasons we think you can use to justify your wait until next year for your first next-generation upgrade. And while we absolutely came up with more reasons than those listed below, these were the selections that we felt stood out most. Sony fans this article is dedicated to you! And now without any further ado, we present to you the Top 10 Reasons to Wait for PS3!
No Killer App at Launch
360's launch lineup is admirable; there are 18 games and five first-person shooters. It can even be argued that the 360's overall average quality of titles is greater than that of any previous system. And yet not a single game is a Killer App? Where's the Halo? Where's the Mario? Where's the Soulcalibur? Where's the frickin' unbridled interest?
It's true, though. PS2 launched with a sorry lot of games and PSOne featured a similarly disgraceful lineup, but with the advent of PS3, Microsoft may have wished it more heavily emphasized one game its new console could forever be known for. This is because PS3 has the Metal Gear potential, Warhawk, Tekken, I-8, Gran Turismo, Killzone, and a dozen other high profile games that may hit on day one that will put a smiling face to the splendid PlayStation name. And when you can associate Dante with PS3, will anything else matter?
