Yep. That's exactly when I stopped buying'em.

Microsoft proved to everyone that customers were willing to lower their standards further, so Sony and Nintendo followed suit.

Remember kids, it's not about keeping the lights on. It's about maximizing profit.

I loved the PS3 too, but I'm looking at it now in hindsight and recognizing all of its flaws.

I think most of my enjoyment for the PS3 came from "what could be," and then by the time it came I was older and had many other things going on in my life. To be honest, it never really came. The PS3 was not the successor the PS2 deserved.
