But why the slam against FPSs?

Because it's the sidescrolling platformer of this generation. It's the 1-on-1 fighting game. It's the genre that has a few outstanding titles surrounded by a sea of trash. And Americans love them, even if they're complete crap.

People know there are good games on the PS3.

Then why do I keep hearing it has "no good games?" Because 360 fanboys like to perpetuate that myth, that's why.

The comparison to the Gamecube is appropriate in some ways. The PS3 is the most powerful hardware from this generation, but it arrived too late in the cycle. That's mostly because MS pushed the 360 out the door with inferior specs and the most horrible engineering in a console since the Saturn, but they're ahead, so whatever.

The fact is, those few good games that are PS3 exclusives don't weight up to the 360's much larger library, and much cheaper price tag. When you consider both systems side buy side, the PS3 just doesn't hold up in most regards yet. In this day and age when you can play games online with your friends, what your friends own matters.

It's easy to be cheap when you keep pushing hardware with a 35% failure rate and morons keep buying it.

And the 360's online "community" is a great reason not to buy it in my opinion. Lots of 12-year-olds playing Halo and shouting obscenities at one another.

Another interesting antedote...

Two games, one of which received a vastly inferior port on the PS3. But the 360 has many more owners, so it's not surprising that the 360 version of common games sells out before the PS3 version does.

I think as time goes on the PS3 will start to pick up, the price will come down, and the library will grow, and sells will increase. But it'll never catch up with the 360. It is pretty plan to see who won this generation of the console war.

Of course they won't catch up. MS had a year and Halo. That's all they needed in today's gaming climate--a mediocre FPS/chat room and cheap, defective hardware to play it on.
