And right now the only PS3's exclusive worth mentioning is MSG4(which threatens to become a multiplatform release), and if you like waiting a lot.. then you have games like FFXIII and what not.

Everything else is coming out for both systems, and if you compare the games that are coming out for both platforms.. the graphics on the 360 are better(that -could- change). And just FYI.. PS3 has the cell which is a good proc for some apps.. gaming not being one of them.. but if you compare the PS3's graphics card with the 360's.. the 360's is about half a generation ahead of the PS3's.

If the PS3 was a superior system by all means I'd be defending them. But the truth is that judging it as a gaming console it leaves a lot to be desired. I will be buying one soon as a cheap BR drive, but that's about the only advantage it has.

GOW is very cool, but Resistance Fall of Man is pretty sick too. It's not as good as Gears but it's pretty close in my estimation. I have never played it online, but all I hear about is the 40 v. 40 online mode that's supposed to be so amazing.

For PS3 exclusives Gran Turismo is always good, Mercinaries 2 looks pretty cool but so does Halo 3 for the 360. Since it's getting so expensive to make games I think you'll see exclusives made by third party companies going the way of the dodo. EA is the largest third party game distrubitor and how many console exclusive titles do they make? So while this loss of exclusives is a big point of argument for both the 360, MS lost Splinter Cell and a few other titles, and PS3 camps, I think that it will become a non factor over this console generation to a fairly desent extent.

I have no idea how the Cell relates to processing and graphics so I am not going to even talk about it. But another point to address, that Jinxed didn't mention but others have is this 360 sold more units than PS3 so that means it's going to win and the PS3 is a POS. The statement is true but you never hear anyone say that the PS2 sold more units than the 360 over the Holiday season. So does that mean that the PS2 is the clear winner of the console wars since it sold more units, of course not, it's not next gen and it sold because it's realtivily cheap, and they are still turning out good games for it because the devlopment cylce is so long for games.

Each system has its pros and cons, and at this point in the next gen wars it's too early to say what the defintive outcome is going to be.

Darkloki your images look good, its only in 1080i though, no one is broadcasting in 1080p, so I myself get to enjoy the exact same quality...Freaking ESPN is AMAZZZZZING quality, I only watch it for the quality and I hate sports LOL.

I just hate how awful, even unethical Sony has become. I have made it a personal decision to not buy any more Sony-branded products (and are plenty of superior alternatives). And yes I can afford a PS3.

Zacks Investment Research issued a recent negative report on Sony.
- Zacks named SNE Bear of the Day for 1/12/07. Investors apparently didn't notice this as SNE jumped $2.03 (4.45%) to $47.68.
- Zacks has a Sell rating and a $35 price target on the stock.
- Sony's LCD business is facing competitive pressures and lowering prices.
- Sony's brand image hurt by the global recall of notebook computer batteries.
- PS3's hefty price tag and launch delays, especially the failure to launch in Europe during the '06 holiday season.

We believe Sony (SNE) will continue to struggle for
the foreseeable future. The company has been
plagued with delays in the launch of its latest video
game console and has lowered net income
guidance for fiscal 2007. Over the longer-term, Sony
faces increasing competition from low-cost
manufacturers in Asia as well as traditional
computer companies that have entered the
consumer electronics market, such as Apple.

Cramer notes that Sony is the polar opposite of Apple, since it seems incapable of doing anything right and is being written off. Sony is worth $45 billion and should have a revenue of $70 billion while Apple is worth $82 billion and should have a $23 billion revenue. Judging by the numbers, Cramer says that Sony is too cheap and would be even more valuable if it would break itself up.

Well, to clarify - I didnt say that Sony was going to be broken up. I was saying that investors are very unhappy with Sony's under-performance and plunging stock price. It was pointed out that if Sony is broken up, its parts are more valuable than Sony as a whole. Of course, Sony could stop shooting itself in the foot and eventually recover to make a profit.

I don't know where you're getting that from. I've always thought you were a pretty cool guy ever since the time ages and ages ago when we both used to hang out in the Dell forum.

I'm no Sony fanboy (I maintain that the N64 is the best console ever built), but that whole "Sony put up rasict billboards" thing is nothing but tripe.

I don't know, I think sometimes advertisements and even films are designed to draw attention, I mean after all it got your attention right. And you may say something like "Well this is negative attention" and sometimes I really don't think they even care, it's attention reguardless, you're talking about it, I'm talking about it, we're all talking about it.

Psst- "I think that's what they intended"

Super Nintendo is first for me. Then comes the PS2 (since it can also play PS1 games). I didn't like the N64 as much, just not as many games that interested me. Btw, I have all 4 of these systems, so I am no fanboy of either company.
