Is a PS3 really a first generation system? I don't know much about video games and such, but isn't it the third generation?

You are correct. In the video game world the PS3, Wii and 360 are considered third generation. The poster was probably referring to a different kind of 'generations' (In the schools here they teach you about 'early adaptors' and I think he is trying to refer to this).

Uh.. PS3, Wii, 360 are like 7th generation.

1st generation was PONG

Beat: Moron on an internet message board who thinks I was actually going to keep the system and not resale it on ebay.

Beat: Moron who thinks there will still be a worthwhile profit margin on these in a week even as the PS3s from the first shipment have fallen to $900.

They call N64-ps1 first generation. PS2, Xbox (,Dreamcast) and GameCube are second generation. 360, Wii and PS3 are third generation.

PONG is like 1st gen minus 18.

I have an extra PS3 for sale.. you could buy it and be happy. Seriously if you want it, the right price can get it.

Just because you said it doesn't mean it's true.

Honestly, there is no doubt in my mind that you just made this up.
