The PS3 is the worst-selling PlayStation home console to date, and it looks poised to stay as much with the PS5 on course to easily outsell it. That said, it’s a console that is increasingly nostalgic and a lot of the best series in gaming got their start during this era. The two most prominent examples of PlayStation series that got their start on PS3 happen to both be from Naughty Dog, Uncharted and The Last of Us. While it’s not as nostalgic as the PS1 and PS2, and while it wasn’t as popular as the PS4, the PS3 is loved by many. If you’re on of these people, then you’re going to appreciate a new PS4 and PS5 freebie.ย
