With the release of the PS4, the PS3’s popularity has plummeted. This is due to the fact that people are naturally drawn to the latest technologies, not because the PS3 is unworthy of owning.
Regardless of the fact that the PS3 has become a bit outmoded, it still remains the favourite console of some gamers who have seen some distinct features in it.
The PlayStation 3 provides a variety of services, including video streaming, Chat and web surfing.
PS3 is not only a strong but also an attractive console. Sony’s designers sought for a game system that appears more like a high-end electrical device than a game, so that was the inspiration behind the console.
