All the games that made people buy PS2s are no longer exclusives, and MS has gathered GREAT exclusives of their own. Xbox Live is leap years beyond anything Sony could even dream of. Devs are saying that the PS3 really isn't that much of a jump above the 360, that they push near the same quality in graphics. Kojima, creater of MGS and now making MGS4 even said himself they technicly could do MGS4 as it is on the 360. They're going to be real close in graphics, but the 360 had this headstard, more exclusives, and it's quite a bit cheaper, so how could anyone possibly think the PS3 will win? Not to mention that they announced they haven't even started PS3 production yet because of lack of Blue Ray lasers and problems with the Cell CPU. The rumor is that there will only be 100,000 in the entire US at launch.

MS sposedly has a black $600 xbox 360 ready for launch around the time of the PS3 that comes with a 120gb HD, a built in HDDVD player, HDMI output and more. With gears of war launching the same week of the PS3 along with an onslaught of great games this christmas season, then Halo 3 on 7/7/7 next year, Sony is in HUGE trouble. Even the big time Sony Loyal game devs are saying they hope Sony does something soon to change their game plan, because right now they're heading down the wrong path. Kojima being one of those devs.

I'm no MS fanboy, I grew up a die hard Sega fan. I own a PS1 and owned PS2 till I was sick of there being no games on it that first year. So though my enthusiasm for someone else taking over the top seat may seem fanboyish, it is not. I simply am excited to see an American company dominate the Console industry for once. And see the creators of my $1400 TV that broke in it's first year drop from that top spot. Sure I feel a little happy about it all :)

Sony is hurting as a whole. It was what? Like 20,000 laptop batteries sony made that were recalled by Dell and Apple recently? Sony took their first loan out in like 15 years or something. Sony was being hit up by the Japan IRS for not paying millions in taxes. Cell CPU with issues, and now Sony announcing they wont be releasing their BluRay players because they just don't have enough lasers for them and the ps3 launch. Then their movies crashing hard in the theaters, like that CG haunted houe movie what ever it was failing big time. It all adds up to Sony in a hurt. It will be interesting to see what the giant does to get out of it.


EDIT: Ok, I admit to being somewhat a fanboy. A fanboy of seeing Foreign Giants fall :)

Before GoW, you would kill anyone who dissed ps3 and said xbox 360 was better.
I agree with your points there, but your still one hypocritic fucktard
