The PS3 was one of the most anticipated video game consoles in history. The early press reports gave it outstanding reviews. There was a shortage of units when it was released in November of 2006. People stood in line for days to get one, and many of them sold it on the aftermarket for more than twice what they paid for it. However, the scarcity of the unit continued, and it did not have a killer app. These factors along with its high price of $599.00 caused the mania about the system to fade. Various press outlets then began to write more critical reviews of the system. It clearly was a case of a product that could not live up to the hype, very much like the Star Wars sequels. In retrospect, it is an amazing console with a lot of potential that will almost surly be tapped over time. |
