1.) Bluray's inferiority to HD-DVD.

Where did you hear this?

2.) XBOX 360 and Nintendo's services (along with arcade/genesis/nintendo/turbografx games)

The PS3 will have two gernations of games available for use right out of the box.

3.) Not many real strong IPs at launch (PS2 launched earlier so it was understandable, but now it's launching last.)

Not only do we not know this for a fact, but that's a problem with nearly ever console launch.

4.) Price. Oh god, the price of the units.

Well, yeah, can't say much about. Pretty freakin lame.

5.) Lesser controller than the Wii, on a more expensive unit. Anyone who says the Wii is a "gimmick": the PS3 gyro is 20x any gimmick statement, and was partly the result of the rumble technology suit.

What does this mean? A lesser controller than the Wii? The Wii and PS3 controllers are in no way alike, and will provide entirely different experiences. Anyone who says the Wii controller is a gimmick really is a dumbass who hasn't used it yet, and shouldn't be paid attention to. Comparing the Wii and Ps3 controllers is comparing apples and oranges, and the PS3 has the advantage of being familiar with the general consumer.

No matter what route you want to take with next gen, the fact remains that the PS3 will be home to all the Metal Gears, Final Fantasys, Devil May Crys, Jaks, Ratchets, and everything else that'll make the system nearly irresistable for most gamers.
