Finally some good news for Sony. That's quite a record. 60k more than the Wii on opening...but lets see what the long term brings. Sony isn't in this for short term gains, they're in it for the long term haul.

HMV Brighton: 50 PS3's Left........................ out of 55

Another day, another joke about the PS3 not selling well in Europe. Today's laugh of the day comes from a HMV store in Brighton, gamers are in luck as 50 PS3's are still availe, just five sold since launch.

I agree with you about everything except the controller Artist. Our controllers already creak and flex. The plastics used feel and look incredibly cheap. They occasionally disconnect from the console. As for the design...
The L2 and R2 buttons have to be among the worst design decisions for a controler, why in the world would they curve them down instead of up to catch your finger? I find my fingers to slip off or cramp up in games such Motorstorm (really any game that you have to hold them down to progress). Are they disposable or what? There is no detachable battery so I guess the Sixaxis is the worlds first disposable controller for consoles (as apposed to Microsofts disposable console

). And for now their tilt control is a total gimmick, not one game has used it in a way that is revolutionary or fun.
In my honest opinion the Sixaxis is a step down from the Dual Shock 2.

As for the console itself it obliterates the 360 in quality and reliability (mine broke as well as most of my friends). It also has much much better media playback and I like the fact you can use other formats to save files and such. The fact that the Bluray drive doesn't sound like the XBox's freight train drive is also a plus.
But it still doesn't touch Microsofts online support, and it doesn't seem to be quite the graphical powerhouse Sony was boasting. In fact it looks pretty bad when most if not all 3rd party titles look better on the 360 a system that supposedly isn't "next generation" according to Sony.

I wont argue about the controller because that is a matter of personal choice and the size of your hands. The 3rd party games on the other hand is exactly that. They are 3rd party games, they develop those games first on the 360 and then port it over to the ps3, so of course they're not going to look as good as the 360. In order to get the full effect of the ps3 you have to use the cell's 7 SPUs to to get everything perfect...companies like EA and other big 3rd party developers don't care about that.

They want to push as many games out as possible...in the end they sacrifice quality to achieve massive quantity. Simple. If you really want to compare...compare 1st gen ps3 exclusive game (motorstorm) to 2nd gen exclusive 360 game (Gears of War)...Motorstorm pisses all over gears...hell even Resistance is more than enough for Gears, and these are only 1st gen ps3 games. Wait until, Heavenly Sword and LAIR are released, that's when the true power of the system will start coming to life.

LOL...The Wii remote is a million times better than that piece of junk called Sixaxis.
Then again, the Wii is so much cooler than the PS3 will ever be anyways, so....

That's true. Apart from the blu ray player the rest of the PS3 has nothing new to offer to the market and the design and size of it is rediculous.
