With the parameters I have listed, both consoles are worth the adoption of next gen consoles. Much has happened since the uncertainty of the pre-PS3-360-is-out-already-and-winning arguments of last year. Blu Ray over HD DVD and I still feel that just saying "Blu Ray" over "HD DVD" may have had an unwelcome side effect on consumers because it always comes down to the consumer and I as an adopter of the PS3 am very happy with my console. Sales have improved with MGS4, SKU's have been all over the place trying to figure out where if at all Backwards Compatibility fits and given the higher cost of living these days (I borrow a cup of gas? LOL) it makes sense that Sony try to accommodate all of their customers. Console Exclusive games may be on the way out as far as Sony goes but I don't see that as a bad thing. As gamers we all win. I am actually visiting my inlaws this week and taking my console with me, and router and perhaps even my PS Eye but I don't want to miss out on any gaming or the friends that I have made while gaming online.

I guess when theres only 1 per quarter you have to let the general public know about it I cant remember the last time a game saved any console I have 2 broken 360s, I've installed linux on a PS3, CONSOLES suck period PC Gaming is and always will be supreme, no console can compete with a quadcore q6600 OC'ed to 4ghz with dual 8800GTXs in sli Next time you think you're hardcore with your PS3 or 360, rememeber that PC gaming rigs easily break the 5K mark to stay cutting edge. We modify & config & write scripts & change texture settings & all kinds of tweaks to make it better/faster/stronger/harder than simply putting in the disc & playing for 8 hours straight I used to run, jump over you rocket jump off the back of your skull, grapple to the ceiling & punch a key to auto taunt you about the rocket I just forcefed you. Can you do that on a console? betcha never even imagined it I'm a PC Fanboy & we > than you all Sony Fanboys-In Denial-Kutaragi told me to work harder

They want to believe their hard earned 600 dollars was worth it, they’ll defend sony to the death, or at least till a new game is out.

Any chart that includes 360 sales probably includes the amount of 360s that were given away to angry customers whose original 360s broke (and that is a huge chunk, i know 15 people who bought 360s and only 1 person has not had his console break, and 3 of these people are on their third machines). another point is that sony was saying that the PS3 costs them $850 for each one produced, well when a 360 breaks 3 times, and each time they send a new one, it will probably cost microsoft more because of all the units they have given away without making a profit on. microsoft is probably only still able to make the 360 because it has money from it's software. i'm sure that if they counted on the 360 and if it was their only product, they would be bust by now. bottom line, i like the ps3, and dont like the 360 (or pretty much anything that microsoft has done).

Gears of war, halo 3 (eventually), Bioshock, ut3, farcry & farcry 2, fable & fable 2 (eventually), world in conflict are all on pc with better graphics, smaller load times and better more versatile controls. The main reason i bought my ps3 is because i found with having both my xbox and ps2 most of the games i liked on xbox were on computer or coming out for computer, whereas with my ps2 the only place i could play those games was on my ps2. Not to mention at game launch the computer version's are generally 10$ cheaper. why doesnt anyone ever bring up the point that all the xbox 360 exclusive titles can normally be found on pc.

They shouldn't under estimate Sony's marketing strategy, as we all know they are the pioneers of most gadgets we use today. You're right, it is too early to proclaim who is the winner among the Next generation consoles. I bet, 360 would have the same fate as the Dreamcast, the early bird doesn't ALWAYS catch the early worm. I do not believe that PS3 will be doomed.
