The only game I want is He-Man after so long I get to enjoy a real He-Man game. Just hope they drop She-Ra and Hordak into the game.
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.
Former Playground Games veterans Gavin Raeburn, Jon Davis-Hunt and Marco Conti reflect on Forza Horizon’s origins and how it “beat every other driving franchise out there.”
Hello Owen Good of Kotaku, your 3rd grade math teacher must be very disappointed with you. =(
Can't whinge and bleat about the PS3 price anymore - Selecting new target - Target acquired... Attack PSPgo...
This is an isolated case in Puerto Rico. Wal-mart and K-mart usually have extremily high prices for their consoles. (like a 300 dollar wii, for example) Because they aren't considered Electronic stores, they have to pay high taxes to bring electronics over. Therefore they end up raising the prices (like 75 for a new game :D)
Everywhere else the PSPgo is at 250. And both these stores are rare in Puerto Rico. there's like 1-2 walmarts on the Metropolitan area. I once heard K-mart did more money than Wal-mart here :D
Talk about always low prices eh Wal-Mart.
