Sony's Playstation 3 is currently in 3rd place in the mighty console wars. With such a slow start the PS3 was the undesired machine for your average gamer. With missing features and less-than-satisfactory games, the future wasn't looking very bright. The Playstation 2 reigned supreme last generation, and it was clear Sony was expecting double the sales with only half the effort.

But come 2008 the Playstation 3 is now leading its hardcore competitor; Microsoft's Xbox 360, and slowing gaining on Nintendo's always out of stock Wii. Proven franchises and new IP's are on the way, and those missing featuring are slowly but surely being implemented. Things are quickly turning around for Sony's console and by the looks of it they're only going to get better. But can the PS3 close the gap on Microsoft's supreme gaming machine, and catch up to Nintendo in the sales department? Is it really THE future proof console? Read on to find your answer.
