In this rather stark evaluation of the Sony PlayStation3, Seth Shiesel pulls no punches: "Measured in megaflops, gigabytes and other technical benchmarks, the PlayStation 3 is certainly the world’s most powerful game console. It falls far short, however, of providing the world’s most engaging overall entertainment experience." Shiesel goes on to compare the PS3 with the more mature and easier to use Xbox 360. Online functionality is especially deficient in the PS3, according to Shiesel.
