Ok, i think it's safe to say people don't agree with me!

Some very valid points that i take on board.

People are too quick to dismiss Sony in my opinion. Call me naive, but i don't think the race is over by any means regardless of the head start. You can throw the history books out of the window for this generation in my opinion.

Despite Nintendo's lead, i believe the games industry NEEDS Sony to make the Playstation 3 a success to strengthen the heritage and image of this relatively young industry. After all, the majority of people that think of the word "videogame" automatically think of PLAYSTATION first. Sony cannot afford to mess up this brand, as it will have massive repercussions on the games industry.

But good luck to all 3 to be honest and it's great to see Nintendo back on top thanks to their creative genius and marketing prowess.

 I don't know why you think we should through out the history books.  Are we not supposed to learn from the past?  And I don't know about most people thinking PLAYSTATION first when you say videogames.  Among my friends and family, they still refer to any game system as a NINTENDO.  But, I bet it's more even between the two when it comes to the general population.

 Are you able to explain what massive repercussions you think the game industry would suffer if PS3 messed up this generation?
