I feel guilty for missing the PS3 era. Won't let it happen again playstation! I'm sorry

Don't feel bad, PS3 was not nearly as good as PS1/2. I owned tons of PS2 games but in a whole generation of PS3 I owned 4. Great media player though, I still use it since my PS4 is incapable.

lol. XboxSkull is trying to convince himself of something, so maybe he can sleep well for one night in the last 6 years. i bet this gen has already crushed his little spirit. salty tears, yum.

I've owned every Sony console minus the Vita (which I still might get). I've enjoyed my PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3 and PS4 consoles. Good memories.

@ XBLSkull You must be crazy! The PS3 had tons of Exclusives and JRPG's it felt like the PS1/PS2 gen to me.

I came into the game a bit late, sadly... I was an N64 kid growing up, and tried to move onto to GC, but when I got to play games like Ratchet & Clank, I was a PS gamer from then on out. I still played other consoles, but Playstation is, and always will, my primary place to game.

I was a sega kid originally , loved my sonics , toejam and earl , phantasy star 4 , mortal kombat but I still eventually got a Snes and experienced super metroid , super mario rpg and alot of other classics ( OH Blockbuster you were amazing at the time ).

then I was in 9th grade at a party and saw a few people in a room playing FF7 and I was like omg I have to have it and worked for a month or so at my first job to buy a Ps1 and FF7 and I've never turned my back on the PS Brand ..owned ps1 1 2 3 4 and psp , I still want a vita but not a necessity

Xenogears , the first 3 DMC , Metal solid , RE 1 2 3 , Zone of the enders , GTA .

Playstation 1 made gaming cool and started the movement into mainstream acceptability. On top of this every generation of PlayStation delivered countless amazing games.

I personally disregard any claim that the PS3 had no games, this was nothing more than a lie propogated by MS and its less enlightened fans. Like every generation the first year is relatively slow but once it hit its stride the PS3 delivered incredible exclusive after incredible exclusive.

As someone who considers himself as gamer above all else, I simply cannot imagine having not experienced the likes of the Uncharted series, The Last of Us, MGS4, Ni No Kuni, Ratchet & Clank and the dozens of other quality exclusives.

It would present such a gap in my gaming history, it would be like I had never experienced PacMan as a kid, Final Fantasy7 as a teen or Gears of War as an adult. I would hate to have no frame of reference to such excellent, and in some cases, important games.

I will always be grateful to Sony and their legacy of giving me so many great experiences over the years.
