Not everyone wants graphics over game play.

That being said, the PS3 came out with technology on the bleeding edge, so it has the slowest adoption rate. However, with BR-DVD Profile 2.0 compatibility and 1080p output, it does have the best technology.

The question thus becomes whether or not in the next generation -- around 2011 +/- 1 year, the competitors will introduce things that make the PS3 look old. Can Microsoft put out an Xbox 720 with BR-DVD that is reliable? Can Wii 2 have HD output, a HD and media streaming?

Even though Sony may seem set to some, technology is a moving target. I bought a home computer seven years ago with 256M of memory -- since expanded to 512M. I got a work computer four years ago with 1G of memory. I just bought my wife a laptop with 4G of memory. The point is that things will be very different before the normal console cycle is out and certainly before the 10-year plan has ended. And if the PS3:Xbox 720 is equivalent to PS2:PS3, then it could bode poorly for Sony.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
