Games? That's my reason.
PS3 is such a beast of an entertainment centre that there is no way, NO WAY I would never ever do anything but keep it. I need to buy a new one too before they stop manufacturing them so I can keep the PS3 in my collections for good (hopefully).
PS3 is the best console by a loooooong shot imo and I have been gaming since MSX and Nes and such. I still have a nes, snes, MD, Atari Jag, GC, DC and Amiga 500. I love all of them but PS3...

QFT. I wonder how many of us were a plus member before it became mandatory for online gaming on PS4. I was. It would be fun to see the x-platform getting an equal opportunity. They have been forcefed subscriptions for a decade. They should recieve a free xbone tbh.

I'm glad I just ignored xboxfun. Never having to read his BS again makes the N4G experience that much better for me.
"nothing the PS3 couldn't handle."
O_O *Clicks on xboxfun's profile and pushes ignore*
@steve
Exactly! I just love how straight up honest Sony's execs are. No hiding, no BS. This is the thing we need to accomplish and this is the way we are going about it. I can't find a way to understand if someone says he doesn't like JT or shu. Best suits EVER.
Watch the interview people. It's only 7 minutes long.
I can't wait for the reviews for Ryse.
Oh the irony....
I played this on PS3. I don't think I'm going to repurchase it.
@bao
It IS BS that we have to pay to play online. We have the x-tards to thank for that.
Secondly if the pay to play was the same as it is with MS people would go apeshit over that too. It just so happens that they give people access to great free games in the process so it truly is not as bad as it could be. How many of us (meaning on N4G) were a ps+ member for the sheer value it presents to us before they made it mandatory for online gaming? I know I was.
@ death
FFS you take ANY game and compare it to the entire install base it will seem insignificant.
How about COD with 15 million sold (out of my ass)? 15/80 million is only 18.75% of the install base cared enough to buy it. That leaves well over 80% of the install base not caring at all about said COD. So now can we say that even the most popular multiplat is irrelevant? Hell going about it that way makes EVERY game on the thing irrelevant and insignificant....
@blacktric
LOL!
@5eriously
Yeah this unholy guy is a pure corporate (MS) lapdog. Nothing but blind faith. With MS and their stunts ever since the reveal he is bound to be pretty sore on his behind.

What makes you think he wouldn't get to the dashboard without the patch? I thought you could watch BD movies on the thing even in it's original form with DRM and all and after 24 hours and everything. That it would only prevent gameplay?
What am I missing here?
@brutally
Sssh! Don't tell nuke it was the media who asked Shu this. Let him think it was the evil Sony that called the media and told this out of spite. He'll sleep better.
Duh! I think we all knew this already.
Great comment and I agree on everything pretty much. You will get lots of disagrees though.
@vinnie
PS4 is more powerful and Sony has way more first party games/studios and long lasting support for their platforms (games after games after games) unlike MS. These are all FACTS that can be confirmed.
It's quite ok to prefer a company based on these facts that history has shown us is it not? Is it not a safe bet with Sony and gaming you think? Does stating all this make me a blind fanboy too? Or am I just "annoying scum"?
@ati
Here's how it all started:
When graphics matter = when x360 was the main platform and PS3 got a lousy port for multiplats.
when graphics matter = when x360 could be said to be more powerfull than PS3 based on said multiplat/ports.
when they don't = when PS3 exclusive was better than anything on x360.
When they don't = when you can't argue that said PS3 game is only 2 hours of gameplay and...
Oh dear.... Things are NOT looking up at the x-camp.

"On July 5, 2007, the Vice-President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division published an open letter recognizing the console's problems"

They sold the x360 for almost 2 years before admitting they had a problem. How many people got the RROD in that time and bought a second...
For any kind of cloud computing to work on a practical level we would all have to have something like 50-100 MB internet connections. How are they going to implement anything relating to cloud when most people have access only to sub 5MB internet (going off on a limb here). Games can't be built as things are around the cloud. The lowest common denominator is what cripples the entire idea.
