Since it launched in 200X, the Wii has perhaps been the forefront of gamers minds in terms of its intuitive controllers. Sony PS3 are looking to snatch this crown with the release of its new Motion Controllers.
November 2025 is the 61st month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 3 by 1.57 million units.
In the last 12 months, the PS5 has grown its lead over the PS3 by 3.31 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 28.11 million units.
PS3 got a bad rap because of the price. I bought it day one (I was very lucky). A Blu-ray player was more expensive than the PS3 at the time around 800$+
And that was for a standalone player with no internet connectivity. A network enable BD players like the PS3 was, were around $1000 at the time
That's true, but it gets worse. I remember seeing independent analysis from CNET or something like that. They concluded that PS3 was not only the cheapest, but also had the best video quality of any BD player.
Good to see there is an improvement despite the challenges plaguing this generation.
At the end of year 5, the ps3 received a pricecut making the 160GB model $250 and the 320G GB model $300.
I miss those days when there was not so much demand for microchips and the prices of things generally came down.
Now everything seems to be a smart device with very few companies to supply the needed chips.
Why compare to the PS3? The machine was a total abortion.
Comparing to 4 would be best being it’s the previous generation and was hugely successful.
There is a ps5 to ps4 comparison. The PS4 currently has a narrow lead.

we should also not forget what shitstorm the ps3 got cause of the price bk then
it was still a phenomenal console
Western media did everything in their power to destroy the ps3. They shiited on its price and made fun of the CELL (I'm surprised there wasn't more dbz memes) calling it alien hardware. Still it gave us games like Uncharted 2 and TLOU.

while i love e3 for the great announcements
it gets annoying seeing the same stuff over and over and over
everyone is saying the same thing about their preferred product D;
At least it has buttons, sticks and triggers and therefore *actual* backwards compatibility, not pretend backwards compatibility as Microsoft would like you to believe
True guys. But you have to admit, Sony got motion controls exactly where they should be by now. Motion Plus is also a welcome add on for the wii as well.
At least Sony showed a nice demo and the tech is actually USEFUL in GAMES, unlike Natal which will stay a gimmick I think, since with no controller included you can't use it in any hardcore game.
The major difference is you can SIT and PLAY with Sony motion control, while you can't with MS. Not everybody wants to dance in front of his TV, plus those who want already have a Wii.
after seeing the demo me and everyone i know want's to use them. the response with them is perfect. after these controllers come out i think most wii owners will be sad they didn't get a ps3. the 360 fantasy motion controller is not even a good one. the ps3 one is real and will be out soon.
