How Many People Like the PS3?

No exact number exists—"liking" is subjective and untracked. Proxy metrics:

• Units Sold: 87.4 million (lifetime, Sony FY2017).
• Peak Concurrent (PSN): ~2–3M (2013–2015 era).
• Game Attach Rate: ~9.6 games/console.
• Metacritic User Scores: Top exclusives (MGS4, Uncharted 2, TLOU, GoW III) average 8.5–9.2/10.
• Retro Community: Active on /r/PS3, PS3HEN, Discord — thousands daily.

Why It Was Loved

• Blu-ray player (cheapest at launch).
• Free online (vs. Xbox Live Gold).
• Exclusive golden age (2007–2013).
• Cell CPU uniqueness—homebrew/emulation scene thrives today.

Many owners still "like" it; many moved to PS4/5/PC. No census possible.
