I wouldn't be so quick as to think MS has all that much in the pipeline though :P 

3D interface, avatars, and XBL Community beg to differ. Sure, I think the avatars are pretty lame but MS is still working hard on improving XBL and the Dashboard.

I don't see Sony catching up to XBL any time soon. After all, MS is a software company and Sony is a hardware company. MS has a distinct advantage when it comes to this realm.

 

 

Actually i think they surpassed microsoft. The XMB is far superior to the Dashboard which is why microsoft is making the so called "3d interface" which basically is XMB from a more frontal view.

Personally, I don't care for the XMB. It looks pretty but finding the options I want is more work than it needs to be. I also don't like the text setup unless you keep the background all black. I find myself squinting to read something over a photo background, something that shouldn't be happening when you're sitting 10' from a 50" television set. Both have their flaws but from a pure functionality standpoint, I prefer the Dashboard. We'll see how the new interface works once it's released.

As for the 3D interface in XBL, I think that's simply a solution for the myriad of features added to XBL since 2005 and an attempt to de-clutter the interface. I don't think it has much to do with Sony or XMB.
