Some more facts: 1. During the development of the PS3 it was originally only going to have the Cell Processor and no GPU because Ken Kutaragi (the creator of PlayStation) envision the CPU to be so powerful that it can handle all operations 2. Another influence behind Sony’s decision to remove the Emotion Engine from the PS3 is because it would upscale PS2 games so well that it made the launch games look awful in comparison 3. Ken Kutaragi started architecting the PS3 literally after the PS2 had launched but in fact he actually been planning it during the development of the PS1 following Nintendo’s betrayal
The most scary fact... The PS3 is a 18 year old *retro* console by now. For reference: 18 years before the PS3 we still played the NES back in 1988! I feel old.
Just bought a PS3 a few months ago. It feels nice playing games i used to and even finding so many hidden Gems One of the most underrated consoles of all time. Still relevant in 2024
I think the PS3 is the only home console that has Daytona USA as an arcade perfect port that can be played with an arcade wheel. As it was only a download, I feel lucky to have it.
If they had TSMC to produce the Cell Processor, they might actually be able to keep the 2 CPU plan. The single cell processor was so fast, Guerrilla-Games had the cell processor do full deferred lighting, with per bullet/particle light and shadow casting, crazy physics, ai, realtime hundred track sound/music composition, and ray-cast the sounds live to produce the correct sound stage.. on just one cpu.. Imagine how crazy the performance will be if Ken got to keep both of his Cells.. by the end of system’s life..
I use to hook up my Nokia N95 mobile and transfer my photos my videos and music to the ps3 I had the original 60GB which was backwards compatible to play ps2 and ps1 games I am still playing a ps3 to this day !!!
I knew about most of them. What I still think is worst that they did remove the PS2 compatibility. Sure, those launch models weren't the best in more than one regard but instead of just removing the support for PS2 discs I really wished they had instead opted to improve it. I really wished they had gotten to a point where the PS3 can actually run games from the end of the PS2 era without issues, like my favourite PS2 game, Valkyrie Profile 2.
@Fafnir2000 black ops 2 is a better story game then almost every ps4 story game bared a few nevermind black ops 2s online which is the actual greatest online game ever im not blinded by nostalgia im just saying bo2 is better than 99% of ps4 games and there are dozens like that for just the ps3

You don't think talking about such an item while carrying a high tech communication device with apps that MAY or MAY NOT have access to the microphone that you use to speak with people may also be able to even advertise said item to you in some way?
PS Plus was never needed on the PS3, Online multi-player was ALWAYS free on PS3, PS Plus would give you free games (usually 3), later on cloud saving was added, discounted prices on certain games in the online store. There was a whole PS2 crammed into the launch models not just the Emotion chip (that's how they got their 99.9 % compatibility and why it was so big), the second variations tried to do it through emulation, albeit badly, which made about 30% of PS2 games unplayable on those models. Then, with the third variation (still the "Fat" model) they removed backwards compatibility altogether. These models can be quickly identified by having only 2 USB ports on the front. And the 20 gig launch model did not have Wi-Fi. Come on GamingBolt do better !!
Still play my PS3 and even building up my library since the PS5 doesn’t have BC for it even though it should be powerful enough to do it via emulation.
At 3:25 mention Toshiba Blu Ray Player, however this would be unlikely back in 2006 as they were backing the opposing format HD-DVD. 4:55 mention Multi-Platform games however game shown was Gears of War 3 which is an exclusive game. 5:10 on the original 6-axis controller however many gamers are still more interested in the Boomerang PS3 controller shown during E3-2005:)
Microsoft lost the lead in console sales a lot sooner once SONY took care of the shortage of consoles problems . Why ? Because Microsoft mixed the replacement of redring consoles with the sales of brand new consoles to make it appear they were still in the lead .
And nowadays Sony will kill their platform. They chose to launch their games on PC, so exclusives no longer exist. Doesn't help that they screw over their loyal fanbase by having their users pay for online for them vs PC (Helldivers), have no mods, worse graphics.
@keijijohnson9754 i mean, it kinda is a fact regardless of how we feel. Sure, there's lower quality mode options on PC. but there's also higher quality modes, too. Point being, sony is diluting the brand of playstation by bringing them to pc. A few years from now, no reason but to own a PC. I don't even game on pc Pc games can also be modded so ps5 games could get even better enhancements in the future
@@DalazGI agree that they're making owning a PlayStation more and more pointless by putting their exclusives to PC, but that doesn't mean that the games that were on PS5 first are going to automatically look worse, it's just not true at all. It's such a PC Master Race way of thinking and I already have enough of hearing that roaming about across youtube.
@keijijohnson9754 i don't think it's worse. Ps5 is much better value than pcs. But we're at an age now where pcs are more like consoles than ever. It's possible to get a pc that functions like a console. Heck Steamdeck is essentially a console but the difference is, free online, free mods, ALL EXCLUSIVES, maintaining your collection which will also be enhanced. I've always owned a Playstation but I'm seeing less and less reasons to own one. The general consumer isn't aware that all console games now go to pc but that's going to change over time. No idea why sony would expect people to buy a ps6 or beyond with the way they're going
Almost all of this is commonly known facts that practically all gamers know, so I don't know why you're acting like you're offering earth-shattering revelations here.
Downloading porn direct to the harddrive from the browser was quite the discovery back in the day
It really was wasn't it?

My PS3 is still plugged up and ready for the occasional SoCom match.
That cell processor was amazing for its time. It was the first to have vector extension.

Is this true, there's no way ?
Ps3 outsold xbox 360. Meaning xbox most successful console still ended up in last place😂

great system with awful decisions on dev kit handling with developers. causing as you said, the inferior ports of cross release titles.
