That sounds very familiar to a TV program I heard.
I must disagree with

Despite my personal feelings being Sony all the way I must say that the Xbox has given itself a HUGE reputation, The first gaming console to be made by Microsoft and lets face it, it has some awesome games.
Not only the games but graphically it is beautiful !
What put peopleoff buying the console or at least one of the things that put them off was the size of the Xbox, it looked likek a PC had been crammed into a small box, It was also rather ugly.
Now however it looks really nice and lighter, I know that may sound stupid but its true.
Say the Xbox made 38 % out f the combined profits of the PS2 and Xbox, which was partially because of its lack of a reputation but the Xbox 360 will probably be around 48 - 52 % in profits, in short I think that it will be VERY evenly balanced

mad_d0ggie - why do you think the 360 will have better online features? I'm not challenging you or anything - I simply have never played online and therefore have no idea how the systems work nor which are better/worse.... |
Sorry I took so long to post but....
I looked at pictures of the online Dashboards on Xbox Live and found this:
* Instant, out-of-the-box access to Xbox Live features with broadband service, including Xbox Live Marketplace for downloadable content, gamer profile for digital identity, and voice chat to talk to friends while playing games, watching movies, or listening to music
* Built-in Ethernet port
* Wi-Fi ready: 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g
* Video camera ready

I honestly believe the 360 will be a better choice to most gamers, why?? Well first of all, Sony used to have all the software developers.. no more. Microsoft is getting a ton of support from american and japanese developers including Square-Enix which until E3, it belonged to Sony, also Capcom that said they'll make Resident Evil 5 for all systems at the same time.. no more exclusivity, and no more recycled games like Genma Onimusha for Xbox.
But the biggest and most important reason why I believe Xbox 360 will win, is the fact that PS3 and 360 are pretty much Identical in performance and capabilities but the 360 will be a hell of alot cheaper to buy. PS3 boss said already that the PS3 will be more expensive then the 360.. he even went out of his way to say that people will have to work harder and longer hours to be able to afford PS3 meanwhile 360 will cost $299 USD.
Sure you can argue that PS3 will have its exclusive first party games.. but the same goes for Microsoft and Nintendo. But in the end, probably all 3 will have most 3rd party games and will play equally good on the PS3 and 360 (don't know about Nintendo Revolution) all for a lower price tag that 360 will have.. I know i wont be able to buy PS3 at launch and probably a year after... seeing how they keep saying PS3 will be "expensive"... so what is the price tag gonna be?? $399?? $499?? no way im paying that much for a Console.
I'd rather use that money to buy me a HDTV to enjoy the 360 at its best.

i love the Playstations, and i dont like that microsoft is expanding there reign into the gaming world, they should stick with what they know and do best, PC's yes the xbox is a good system but i belive in what i said.
