The 'PS3 Has No Games' meme originated during the early lifecycle of the PlayStation 3, around 2006-2008, primarily on imageboards like 4chan and gaming forums like GameFAQs. It was used by critics and rival console fans to mock the PS3's slow start, high price point, and perceived lack of compelling exclusive titles compared to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Over time, as the console's library expanded with hits like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Metal Gear Solid 4, the meme shifted into an ironic trope used by fans to highlight the console's eventual dominance in high-quality exclusives. Today, it stands as a nostalgic relic of the seventh-generation console wars, often used to poke fun at early adoption struggles in the gaming industry.
