Ours too. We have a 360 (Christmas), Wii (2 weeks after launch), PS3 (3 weeks after launch) and a PS2 (1 year old) and the PS3 gets touched the least. We have Resistance, but after checking it out and saying "hey that looks kinda cool" that was that.

Waiting for MGS4 and Final Fantasy 13 is getting pretty boring.

Oh I fully expected it to collect dust initially, but it doesn't mean that I can't mention the facts about it. The 360 at least had some interesting XBLA titles to keep me occupied during the initial launch lull - and they even had a couple titles come out post launch. The ps3 has had 2 new titles (Full Auto 2 and Fight Night R3), to the best of my knowledge. The PS store is thus far dull, even the demos are weak. I mean, Gripshift is lame, sudoku I already play on my DS, and I don't see myself buying blast factor when I already have a superior version of robotron on the 360 in the form of geometry wars AND mutant storm. And the Smash TV ripoff on the PS store is horrible.

We just need some new interesting titles to come out to breath some life into this thing.

Oh of course.

I just didn't want people to get the impression that it was limited to the PS3.

The Dreamcast is probably the only console that's every launched with more than one game that I thought was worth $50, so I've just pretty much gotten used to expecting one great game and 3-6 months of nothing worth $50 there after.

At least the PS3 has Resistance which makes it better than the PS2 launch. SSX was fun, but hardly the type of AAA mind blowing system seller I expect when buying a new console.
