Didn't see that one. You shouldn't have to scroll through a bunch of comments to find the link relevant to the article.

Take a look at my edited post.

😐

Well the said it's the best new console, not that it has the best new games or more fun. PS3 is a freaking beast so it should win in console stuff, it has to much crap in it. Now if it was VS controls or games/Fun the Wii would win.

I'm still in shock...well, no...NOT really. I knew someone was pull this at IGN.

Runner-Up:
Nintendo Wii

whatever...

I noticed your edit right after posting and then edited my post.

And they did hide the link pretty well, as if they didn't want to be taken seriously.

I've never played or seen a PS3 (other than on images) so I can't comment but it must be perfection itself to beat the lovely Wii.

Anyone else caught this stupid comment:

"The Wii can't even play normal DVDs."

Some people are just too **** retarded.

"OoooOOooOhhhh...I can't wait to put movies in my video game console WAKAKAKAWAKWAKA!!!!!"

Again lol did they say games and controls? Nope, teh PS3 has everything the Wii CONSOLE has plu Dvd, more power and potenial as a console itself.

I've played it. It's not impressive. Graphics aren't great, controls are nothing special, so far there's nothing but shit games or ones available on other consoles, and it's really buggy. The bluetooth controllers like to randomly lose the connection and stuff, and our demo system at my work has been frozen for a week now.

The PS3 seriously is bordering the territory of being a flop right now. If Sony wants to salvage it at all, they need to hurry the hell up and get some decent games out.

Can we really say the PS3 is heading for a flop? All we've seen now is initial sales (which are good but say nothing) and perception of the online community which is really very split on the issue.

Yeah lol, the 360 had a crap launch and look at it now.

😆 Its so true though, why would you want a game console with a DVD player? its pointless unless you don't have a DVD player at all or on the TV your using. Most people I know have 2-3 DVD players in they're house, another one is just pointless, since most people play they're game consoles on they're main TV unit (most that I know anyways, myself included) And the main unit always already has a DVD player. Why do you need 2 or 3 DVD players for 1 TV? I mean I have 4 DVD players in my house, one of which is in my room already hooked up to my TV in my room. I don't need another DVD player. DVD players are for playing DVD's. Video game consoles are for playing Video Games...Amazing how that one works, its pretty self explanatory IMO, but then apparently, what do I know?

Value for money? Bite for buck? Surely this should be taken in to consideration. And as it's console of the year it should be nothing about potential, just what the system offers now...

Look at Dreamcast. Fantastic start, flopped.
