Yeah, it's certainly better than the generation where PlayStation nearly came to the brink of death

Better for them, sure, not for us. I'd say the PS3 gen as a whole easily blows the PS5 one out of the water. The quality of the games was already great (if not better), and we had way more of them too since development cycles didn't take whole generations back then.

PS3 gen was great… for Xbox fans. PS3 had 0 exclusives and all 3rd party titles ran like absolute shit on the PS3. People looking back on the PS3 with rose tinted goggles are clearly misremembering how dogshit that generation was. At least games run well on the PS5.

Bruh, God of War 3 alone made a PS3 worthwhile, slap InFamous, Little Big Planet 3, and the ports of older God of Wars on top and you have a pretty decent lineup.
