In terms of killer apps, all the consoles are really sucking.
Nintendo was to have Zelda/Mario/Metroid/Smash Brothers, but only 1 of those 4 is even out yet, despite all being promises as launch games. PS3 had Resistance, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy lined up, but Resistance was a bit more lackluster then expected and MGS/FF might not even be exclusives anymore. Xbox360 sales, of course, will spike when Halo 3 comes out.
Frankly, this whole generation of new systems is really blowing right now.
These gaming companies that are rejecting exclusives for the Playstation 3, are only destroying the Sony market for themselves, the reason the Playstation 3 isn't selling well, is because their aren't enough exclusives for the price of $600, well that's never going to happen, if companies are afraid to lose money over supporting Sony.
It's a lost cause if it keeps going down this path.
In most cases they'd be losing money even if they did entirely support sony. Console-moving exclusives have existed in the past, but the PS3 is particularly hard to sell and there's no reason they should make the financially retarded decision when there are two other perfectly good consoles out there.
It's been a lost cause since they first made demonstrating their contempt for consumers a design goal.

Exactly, finally someone who understands.

Only reason I got one is because it was dirt cheap (£300) but with the lack of decent games on the horizon I'm thinking about flogging it. Hasn't been a good few years for Sony I tell ye that fer free.
I don't like Sony of America's ridiculous fear of 2D games that don't have the words "compilation" written on the front or "orchestrated" written on the back.
I've got a PS3, it's nothing mind blowing. But it's better (imho) than the Xbox. Not in online respect or anything, PS3 sucks online, but I think SONY made a more capable console, nobody's using that though.
As for the Wii, it's 100% fun, there aren't as many shooting games or anything one Wii (there are some though ) but that's part of the Nintendo charm. The Wii has fun the PS3 has all the latest stuff. Depends what you're after really, I'm saving up for a Wii btw...
If you read up on it you'll actually find the PS3 and 360 are virtually the same, the PS3 is better for certain things like physics, whereas the 360's Xenon can produce better AI (branch prediction and shit). The 360's GPU is more powerful than the PS3's. The 360 has more memory. BluRay can store more. PS3 (and Wii) uses bluetooth which lags more than RF.
Then there's the opinion and non-stats stuff like 360's break more and runs louder than PS3. 360 has miles better online play. XMB is BS. More readily available native games on 360.
Does anyone know if the Ethernet port on the PS3 is gigabit?
GameCube was more powerful than PS2 yes, but not as powerful as the Xbox. However, the GameCube had a more efficient design, it was very cheap to manufacture compared to the other consoles and considering its power.
