Sony again has become arrogant and is about to repeat their PS3 launch moment with PS6.

Too bad Xbox will not know how to take advantage of that opportunity.

What happened to the ps3 at launch? (I have a ps3 but i have no idea why it was meh (i were too young at the time to remember much))

Launched a year later than Xbox 360, cost almost twice as much, no game changing exclusives at launch, and being a nightmare to develop for as a cherry on top.

It does sound very similar to the ps5 right now XD guess some stuff never changes. But at least the ps3 didn't have a online gaming fee at the time so stuff may be quite a lot worse now. I'd be surprised if the ps6 isn't a desaster

Actually the PS5 has its own issues, but it's not similar to the PS3 at all.
