Good lineup, but I don't think its better than 2008 mainly because of a huge number of PC multiplats.

 

Well, most console gamers do not have a gaming PC, in fact i doubt even 2-3% has such a PC, so the 360 is like gaming heaven for all those and PS3 gamers than want PC games for just 199$

That is the magic of 360, i can get the best of PS3 (Final Fantasy 13, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 5 etc), PC (Alan Wake, KUF2, Mass Effect 1-2, Two Worlds Temptation, Venetica, Divinity 2, Dragon Age, Witcher, Risen etc) and xbox360 (Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Gears 2, Banjo 3, Viva Pinata 2, Star Ocean 4, Halo Wars, Halo 3, Black Legion, Kameo, new Rareware-Lionhead-Mistwalker games, Magna Carta 2 etc)

And all that for just 199$

I hardly believe that only 2-3% of Xbox 360 owners play PC games, especially considering PC had over 260 millions gamers in 2007.

While Xbox 360 is getting games that otherwise would've been exclusive to PS3 or PC, the PS3 is also getting a few that would've been Xbox 360 only. On the other hand, PC is getting nearly all of Xbox 360's best games, while X360 is getting but a fraction of PC's best.

And it's not just $200, is it? There's XBLG that you need to get if you intend to play any online game, and the games are also more expensive than the PC gets.

Where do you get these figures from? You always seem to have them but no source

Anyway, definitely more than 2-3% have gaming PCs, but there is a clear divide between console and PC gamer. I would never consider getting any game other than an RTS on my PC, but I am sure there are those who can't bear to play an FPS on a console.

About the quoted $200 price point. You shouldn't buy the arcade anyway, you should get the one with the 60GB hard drive, but if I go on about added costs any more I am going to sound like Sony
