It only does diverse games

it-only-does-everything

When the PlayStation 3 launched in late 2006, the console struggled to find a game that best defined the platform. Sony made several promises in regards to the console's capabilities, but with a mediocre advertising campaign the PS3 struggled to maintain a foothold in the market.

It's now 2010 and Sony has seen an unprecedented shift in momentum in regards to the console, sales, and the games that flood the PS3's library.
