PS3 = Superior?
The Xbox has been outselling the PS3 the last few months but why is a mystery to me.
There are a bunch of reasons to own one of the big three consoles, but this thread focuses on PS3 and why, if you already don't own one. Sure it’s the third home console from Sony and had the advantage of following the Playstation 2, one of the most popular home console in all the of video gaming’s history and with all reason to as it took gaming in all aspects to the next level. But you can’t write the PS3 off as successful just because the first two consoles from Sony did very well. As you’ll see by the reasons below, the PS3 has a lot more going for it than just some great lineage. So get reading these reasons why you should own one and be sure to buy one if you already havn't.
#1 One of the best Blu-Ray players available.

#6 Wi-fi since day one. If you bought your Xbox 360 prior to E3, you need to buy a wireless adaptor. The PS3 has been wireless since launch.

#7 There are a lot of things you can do online and the PS3 allows you to browse the internet and do those things.

I own both of the systems, and they both have their perks.
I usually play on my Xbox 360, due to all my friends having one. My PS3 is used almost daily though, because it is what I watch all my movies on.
PS3 is a way better media system. As for games, it all depends on who you know that has what system.

If you've gone through 8 controllers then you are f*cking LOUSY at taking care of your sh*t because I can almost guarantee that you're the only one on this site that has gone through that many controllers. Oh and the fact that you obviously exaggerated that number to try to prove your point (which is a fail in itself).
