Because the PS2 was a great system. It wasn't expensive, it was used primarily for gaming and had amazing games / exclusives.
The ps3, on the otherhand, does not.
That's one thing I always thought was unfair for PS3. The PS3 came out a year after the 360, and when people found out how expensive it was, they became randomly frustrated at Sony. The 360 and PS3 share a lot of games, with the former being more popular and cheaper.
But, that alone does not rationally justify all this hate and discouragement toward the Playstation 3. Both the PS3 and 360 (let's throw the Wii in there too :X) are and will be exceptional consoles. I just think people like to see "the mighty fall", with the
second generation Xbox beating the
third generation of Playstation.
Oh, and this is directed at Sony/Playstation 3 hating in general, not you Kain <3.
And as for Final Fantasy, I am eager to see this one. I've only played 9 and 10-2 (which I actually liked) and I am playing 12, which is kind of boring to be honest, but I have high hopes for 13.
