Well whaddaya expect from Time?

Honestly, the mainstream press doesn't have a clue about video games or consoles. To say that the PS3 has lame games completely ignores the fact that it launched with Resistance, which IGN has called a "killer app". Sure, it's not worth it to buy a PS3 now- primarily for 1st gen hardware reasons, but then, it wasn't worth it to buy a 360 when that launched a year ago. Less so, even. The 360 had an even less impressive launch line-up.

And the Wii, IMO, shouldn't even be compared alongside the other 2. Sure, it's fun (though I remain skeptical about the variety of games that will be offered), but it isn't really trying to offer the same things the other two are.

But the press just glosses over surface details and rails against the PS3.
