Measured in megaflops, gigabytes and other technical benchmarks, the PlayStation 3 is certainly the world’s most powerful game console. It falls far short, however, of providing the world’s most engaging overall entertainment experience. There is a big difference, and Sony seems to have confused one for the other.
You have to take complaints about the online service -- which has just launched and is free -- with a grain of salt. But the games are another matter. On the tube, G4's X-Play program gives the PS3 launch titles lukewarm to subpar reviews, while the Wii launch titles recieve nearly universal praise.
Sure, I'm a Nintendo loyalist, but I think Nintendo is offering a very different product than either Sony or Microsoft. That said, it seems like the PS3 will have an uphill battle through 2007 if it hopes to beat out the 360 in North America.
