Of course, it all makes sense now. Millions of people couldn't have been wrong about the PS3. No, surely not! But apparently that is the exact case, as Sony finds no fault with its system...or at least their PR spin doctor wants you to believe that. As a system, the PS3 is good. However, gamers aren't really debating the system itself, but rather its software lineup, which is highly lacking in playable games. I've bought exactly one game for the PS3. Otherwise, I've used my PS3 more as a PS2.

From the article:

As far as Dave Karraker, the man behind the media curtain at Sony is concerned, all the bad publicity that Sony has faced is all just one big misunderstanding on our part. Luckily for you, he's ready to fill those educational gaps you've acquired, for a cool $600 or so.

During a "shoot the bull" session with Gamepro, Karraker was quick to point out that a)The media doesn't play fair, and b)The PS3 really is a bargain.

More of the Sony spindoctor, after the jump.

You see, it's all a matter of perspective, says Karraker:

I am confounded by people who say they are true gamers but all they do is look for the negatives in a system, or a company, or in the industry in general. Some media, in particular, are just too easily caught up in all the bashing. It feeds on itself, and to what end? How do you benefit the real gamer by bashing on something? These are very smart people who can see through most of the BS.

A lot of the perceptions are not justified and seem fueled by people who don't have all the facts or have some kind of axe to grind. I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who wouldn't say PS3 is an amazing piece of technology. Yeah, the price of PS3 is higher than other system, but look at what you get - the Cell processor, Blu-ray Disc, built-in hard drive, HDMI 1080p, Wi-Fi, the SixAxis. That is a lot of truly cutting-edge technology in one box.
