The console: PlayStation 3

Sony's latest console struggled when it came to finding identity and a gaming icon. Critics had called out for 'Drake's Fortune' and 'Metal Gear Solid' to be named as the title that made this console, but fans always disagreed.

It was only when the latest instalment of the 'Gran Turismo' racing simulator series came out that every PS3 owner found a mutual cause - a game that looks great, plays like a demon and is exclusive to their brand.
