yeah the PS3 had better exclusives, especially if you like Japanese games and rpg's and stuff. 

It's a good purchase now, you'll be glad u did it.

I've been playing my PS3 a lot lately.  I'm currently playing Ni no Kuni and I plan to start Metal Gear Solid 4 next.  I recently got 2 copies of Valyria Chronicles in the mail a couple days ago.  I accidently pruchased a copy from Amazon and won a copy on Ebay and didn't realize it. 

 I wish I still had my PS3. I lost it with my Xbox, which is the main reason I'm a die hard pc gamer. It's kind of all I have atm. I really wish I could play Ni No Kuni and The Last of Us, but I don't think that will happen unfortunately.

 Also, as harsh as I am on the new Xbox, look at it this way. Last generation, Sony had a terrible launch, and they came off as the massive cocks. They also bounced back in a major way. Microsoft could do the same, and they have a really solid lineup of exclusives this year. That said, I've always preferred Sony more. It just had more games for me. Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls (I love this game), Ratchet and Clank, Infamous, Disgaea and the list goes on! 

I'm kind of like you. I've been a PlayStation fan from the day I bought Final FantasyVII. That didn't stop me from buying a Gamecube the next generation, but I loved my PS1 and PS2.

The PS3, sadly, had too lackluster of a launch to justify its price, and in 2007, the 360 was a better value proposition for me, so I got one of those. But I mostly got it for stuff like Virtua Fighter 5 and Tales of Vesperia. I did try the online Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty 4 communities, but those games weren't and will never be my cup of tea. Also, the good stuff I liked dried up pretty quickly on 360 and started migrating over to PS3. When I saw Valkyria Chronicles, I wanted a PS3. The E74 error was the last straw for me and the Xbox line.

I got a PS3 with Valkyria Chronicles to go with it, and I've loved it. It's been a great system. And with Microsoft making the decision easy with the Xbox One's bullshit, I'll be going in PS4 all the way. I will still be playing my Wii U as well, of course. :)

I'm with you. The PS3 library appeals more to my tastes as well. Only reason I ended up with a 360 was because the PS3 was so gosh darned expensive when it first launched. (Those tossers wanted $600.00 for it! What the hell?)

Yeah, well, I'm still a non-RPG-loving minority, and probably would have owned a 360 had I participated this gen so ... yeah, I guess that doesn't mean much, does it? lol

I would like a 60 gig PS3 as well; being a Nintendo fanboy growing up, I was always secretly a bit jealous of my older brother's Playstations, and I wouldn't mind having three-in-one plus the PS4.

I just want it so i can give my ps2 a break and the fact its going to be highly collectable in the future.

I've been an Xbox fan, but now I'm thinking of favoring PS4 this next gen.

I'll admit I've always been partial to Sony. I've owned all their systems. I've bought and still have an Xbox and Xbox 360, so I haven't refrained from buying other systems too. I love the original stuff Sony puts out though (Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Uncharted, God of War...etc). The PS4 looks to be a continuation of the that tradition and I'm all aboard.

Assuming that Microsoft eventually sees the errors of its ways and changes things up with the X1 (and who knows how long that could take), I can see myself getting one too but at the moment I'll be sticking with the PS4.

They would absolutely have to drop the 24 hour internet for me to even remotely think about it.

For rpgs fans, the PS2 was the gift that kept on giving.  It's just unfortunate that the PS3 did not carry on its legacy.  That might be changing, though.  I've noticed a large swath of games coming out for it this year and the next (not counting the HD ports).  Time and Eternity, Dragon's Crown, Tales of Xillia, Disgaea D2, The Guided Fate Paradox, The Witch and The Hundred Knights, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace.  Then there are the games that might be localized like Drakengard 3, Battle Princess of Arcadia, Tales of Xillia 2, more Atelier games, and The Legend of Heroes.  On top of that, there is the possibility of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII and the latest Daisenryaku game being localized (they might digital-only, though).

The rpg support might be late, but I suppose it's better than nothing.  Perhaps by the time you've acquired the system many of the aforementioned games will be out with many more on the way.
