not counting flops like the virtual boy (had one *tear*)
Sure it gave us the birth of some great franchises and games because sony had the time and resources to invest on making them, but the complicated architecture gave us sub par multiplats that performed better on the 360 and it's very likely gameplay suffered because more time/resources had to be allocated to optimize PS3 games.
In comparison I think PS4/X1 gen games ran better and gameplay mechanics jump was far greater than one would expect between gens.
TLDR PS3 held back that console gen, also had the biggest fanboys because it was the first "console war" with widely available internet which was close and arguably MS "won"
EDIT: counterpoint on the PS3 games
Infamous, killzone, motorstorm, resistance were ok at the time but there's a reason why they're dead franchises and noone misses them.... not to mention several exclusive mediocre games/flops like MAG, war/starhawk, Lair, allstar battle
Basically uncharted and TLOU were the only new games that were revolutionary for the time, to the point now all sony games follow the same cookie cutter formula

Is the PS3 the worse console of all time?

PS3 was better than any xbox console just cause of the exclusive games that were only on PS3. You couldn't play the best games of the generation without a PS3.

Wii and PS3 are definitely on the podium lol
not sure if srs
Dreamcast is amazing, not even a discussion
don't see what was wrong with Xbone?
agreed WiiU was a chit tier console, but it did give us some of the absolute best Nintendo games, all rereleased now on Switch and people forget they're actually WiiU originals
not gonna comment on Saturn since it's the only one of the 4 I don't own
for example...?+++ miscin' at work crew +++

It’s definitely in the running. I also had a Dreamcast when it first came out and it was a short lived console. It would probably get my vote. I remember having the controller with the a game within a game lol. Terrible idea.
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.

It begat PS4, which begat PS5, making it the grandfather of best console to date. AND it birthed TLOU, Uncharted among others. If I had to pick the 'worst' PS console it would be the 3 just because the cell processor was too complicated for its own good

Imagine thinking that the Dreamcast was a bad console...
Yikes...
Probably the worst opinion I've ever seen.
The Dreamcast flopping in North America had absolutely NOTHING to do with it's quality, and EVERYTHING to do with Sega doing a terrible job at marketing and production costs, they basically doomed it from the beginning. There's a documentary I'm sure you can find on YouTube that explains the entire history and demise of the Dreamcast.
Poor Saturn sales, increased competition from Sony, and uninspired marketing campaigns all played their part in the console’s failure. Above all though, the Dreamcast was an incredibly advanced piece of hardware, and it was expensive to produce. Sega was selling it at a loss, and it wasn’t able to recoup costs in software sales.
The Sega Dreamcast hit store shelves in Japan on November 27th, 1998. The console enjoyed moderate success for a time. On paper, things looked great. Consoles completely sold out in the first few weeks, and they could barely keep up with orders.
The truth was that Dreamcast was doomed from the start. Because the hardware of the Dreamcast was so advanced, it was very expensive to produce. So expensive that Sega had to sell the console at a loss. This means Sega had to make up the revenue with software sales.
The best way to do that was to release the console in the US in the hopes that the software sales from the two giant markets would make up for the loss.
The Sega Dreamcast was released on September 9th, 1999, in the US. It did strong sales at first due to the launch titles Sonic Adventures, Soulcalibur, and Ready 2 Rumble. It even managed to outsell the PS2 in 2000 due to this strong launch, but it wouldn’t save Sega.Last edited by kr1kit; 02-05-2023 at 05:38 PM.

Yeah pretty much
Xbox 360 absolutely mogs it for anyone with friends. Halo 3 and MW2 were quintessential gaming experiences that had to be experienced thru an Xbox lobby.

Your statement isn't wrong about 360 being the console to have in the US. PS3 was an absolute disaster only saved by its software late in its lifecycle. The online and quality of MP games was an absolute joke compared to 360.
But super odd how you seem to only gauge having friends on videogames, as if there is nothing else one could do with a friend. If all your friends are just videogame friends, I got some bad news for ya looking down on others.
