If You Had To Chose Your Next Gen Console Today...

[Commando]

Hmmm .... heres the things to consider.

1. Bioshock vs. Legend of Zelda
(Assuming 2K doesn't go with Ninty next gen)
THAT IS a TOUGH Fn CALL

2. XBLA/LIVE vs NintendoVintageWare(yes I made that up just now)
Decision: Microsoft; The biggest Online service I get with Ninty now is Virtual Console, which I will obviously still have next gen)

3. Controller War
Decision: Microsoft; The improvement between the first XBOX controller and the 360 is astounding, I love the 360 controller, I would put my faith that the next gen will be done right, not that I think Nintendo will do a poor job in the least, this is a close one.

4. Can Rare improve vs. Where the Hell is Silicon Knights?
Decision: Microsoft; I see greater Possibility for a slambang PD2 than a ED2

5. Geometry Wars 3
Decision: Microsoft; Whereas Galaxies is my favorite, I think all the support/success they have had with XBLA would make them lean towards their next big step with Microsoft, also I don't think it had to great a turnout on the Wii.

6. Racing Games
Decision: Microsoft Hands Down; Now that I knoe what Forza is (historical post comment) and want to check it out and PGR is also Microsoft Exclusive; combined with better prospect for PURE2 and GRiD2 this decision is already made.

7. FPS
Conduit looks promising but... Microsoft (Obvious)

8. Zombies -EDIT-
Microsoft; (On second thought RE5 is on 360 so it would be logical RE6 would be on NeXt MS, I would think that Nintendo's next console would have a very intuitive control scheme that would make zombie killing fun, but with RE and L4D noot representing them right now, hard to say if the games will come.)

9. Guitar Hero World Tour 2?
Probably should get WT1 first, but Microsoft, since I'll be getting it for 360, I want Live content and whatever will be compatable to remain that way.

Lastly. Activision/Blizzard
Winner: PC
Explaination. If I end up disapointed I can always go crawling back to who owns my soul, Blizzard. WoW, Diablo III, Starcraft 2 will be vying for the most of my time next year anyway and I'm sure will be that way in the years to come. WoW2 will be a reckoning.

SO in conclusion, I think I would obviously own both again, but in spirit of the question I think I would go with Microsoft.
