Let me explain why. I love the PS2, great system. I waited last year for
the PS3 which never came out and so I was excited for a PS3 this holiday
and enjoying it with BlueRay DVD's on my 60" HDTV (only 720P but still
nice). So the holiday comes and Sony misses getting enough units out and
I had no way to know for sure when PS3's would be on the shelf (they are
now). Basically I got tired of waiting for over a year and Sony missed my
second time around holiday buy period.
Sony has missed a huge market hit with the production of the PS3 not
being ready in mass for the holiday. The WII and XBOX 360 have gobbled up
a lot of the holiday game buying crowd.
Now I'm thinking why buy a PS3 in January since I've got a 360. I'm lucky
at this point in my life that money is not the issue. Do I want to spend
$600 on unknown BlueRay versus HD-DVD wars guessing on the winner and a
PS3 that does not yet have a lot of titles?
I'm still disappointed that Sony kept me waiting for over a year with
delay, then delay, then delay and finally nothing to buy a year later for
the holiday. They have had a huge failure on production timing wise and
they know it, based on their rush to air ship units. Now to see if they
can catch up. I hope so because they have invested in some very unique
technology in the PS3.
BTW here is an interesting couple of web links on some stats.

I think there are a lot of people like you. People that were in "wait
and see" mode for the past year and put off buying a new console. Now
that the smoke has cleared, you can see the PS3 for what it really is
and that it isn't/wasn't worth waiting for when you could have been
enjoying gaming on your HDTV with a 360 for less cost and better game
choices.

There are many 360 owners who are also PS2 owners, such as yours truly
here. I agree with most of what you say. No need to defend your
purchase. Enjoy your 360

No, don't bother yourself. The fact that you bought one is not
important, that's your choice. the fact that you chose to xpost about
it makes you a troll.

360 makes him not a troll. It's just an honest post about his desire
to buy a PS3 originally but the things that lead up to him not buying
one. Why is that OT in a PS3 group? He isn't directly bashing either
console.
