Message: [QUOTE="iamthemilkman, post: 213711, member: 100014"] Bought all 3 at launch. I waited in line at Wal-Mart for the Xbox 360 (In-store in the electronics department and not outside, thankfully), pre-ordered the Wii at my hometown mall's Gamestop, and had my PS3 pre-ordered online. I was working at Hot Topic at the time, as well as working at my uncle's construction company, so it was the first time in my life that I was making some money and was able to afford all 3 with my own money. Xbox 360 was my main console. Wii and PS3 were pretty dire for a while there. I could only play so much Twilight Princess, Red Steel, Resistance: FoM, and Motorstorm. Xbox 360 was firing on all cylinders in 2006 and 2007. Wii and PS3 did finally get some new games worth playing with Super Mario Galaxy and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune in 2007, though. That said, the PS3's lack of an achievement system for a while and lack of Dualshock feedback really did suck. Their online was woefully inadequate, and third party games -- especially Unreal Engine 3 games -- almost always ran at a lower resolution and worse framerate. [automerge]1748037713[/automerge] The 360 was the PS2 of that generation. It's the console that had Halo during its peak with Halo 3, had Bioshock first, had Mass Effect first, had timed exclusive Call of Duty map packs when the best Call of Duty games were launching, etc. PS3 took many years to recover and it eventually outsold the 360, however 360 was the mainstream console choice for most, if not all, of that generation. It had way better online, too. [/QUOTE]
