Hey, PS3 80 GB Fat Motorstorm bundle was expensive indeed, but after playing my friends ps3 slim, I would never give up my experience with the Fat PS3 for anything, but... I mean that Slim Model just feels so different... Fact was, it was $600 or $800 for my Fat ps3, but the slim was like $100-$200, but thats just it, the console just felt as cheap made as its price tag... its like the quality was taken out, & it just felt un-acceptible to me...

I know you mentioned that PS3 beat the 360 in sales near the end which is a fact but tbh most of 360s sales were from people that had to keep buying it again and again due to it's 60-70% failure rate cause of the RROD.

[@madphantom92]

Yeah my cousin bought 5 Xbox 360 three which had the Rrod

[@fattiger6957]

Microsoft didn't replace the dead systems?

[@halo37253]

Even at the End, the 360 had a near 2-1 lead in sales in America vs other regions. And the 360 had near zero following in japan. Also the 360's warranty system that was in place allowed most to replace their console in that time span. So I wouldn't count a huge amount as rebuys. No more than the ps3 users replacing theirs with slimer models over time. I know as I replaced my 360 twice for free. I still have my BC PS3 80gb (with 500GB HDD), but I only really ever used it for the exclusives. The Controller was garbage, and most multiplats ran like trash. COD for example never was smooth, Assassins Creed would drop frames all the time. The 360 never had those problems. The 360 also led in features, the XBL party chat and ease of use as a whole was never matched by sony. I love the PS3 for the exclusives, but it really was a half a$$ed system. I got rid of my 360 long ago, and plan of keeping the ps3 for ever. Though mostly for the fact that xbox one can play nearly all decent 360 games. Sony had so many great single player story games. But it was a horrible Online system, and Meh for Multiplat games.

PS3 really was an everything machine, especially the launch models. Just a shame that they were time bombs, and that the CELL chip was so difficult to work with. Maybe we could've gotten more PS3 re-releases on PS4 if the 'demon chip' wasn't such a pain. Games like Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus looked gorgeous on PS3, and would only look more impressive with the newer hardware. It's amazing how good the PS3 can be when it's giving 100%
