The team at PlayStation wanted to give you something to look forward to other than the standard turkey and stuffing this Thanksgiving. That’s why we’ve been working hard with retailers across the U.S. to put together some incredible PlayStation 3 bundles that offer something for everyone, from hardcore games to all-in-one entertainment solutions
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.

I'm heading to Wally World (Wal-mart) for all the $10 PS3 game deals. There's a lot of stuff that I need to catch up on.
wished I lived in the states, hope Canada offers some deals to stop people from driving over.
without trying, i could think of MANY blu movies to bundle with the system that's better than "karate kid".
i mean, give people something that showcases what blu movies can do.
Wal Mart deal is BEAST. Uncharted 2 + MoH SE + 160gb. Yessir!!
Amazon PS3 bundle pack is the bombdigity! No tax + free shipping saves you $35, enough to buy another game of your choosing, including medal of honor, but why would you do that. Walmart's deal is good as well but I rather not wait in line for 5 hours just to get trampled by those monsters of a mob.
