What I'm trying to say is that the PS3 should be classed as a console apart from the the 360 and Wii and a generation ahead. 


Yet it can't download in the background. It can't continue interrupted downloads. Its online presentation is inferior to Live. Its SIXAXIS is inferior to the Wiimote. It's not fully backwards compatible. How is it a generation ahead again? I missed that part.


Yes the PS3 can download in Background....the Sixaxis is not the same as a Wii remote (I am glad for that no dis on the Wii but I like the Playstation remote For "regular"games.The PS3 is more backwards compatible than the 360(mine is completely backwards compatible)and for online have you not seen what PShome is bringing?Honestly if we are talking about"next gen"game systems does Nintendo count?Didn't they themselves claim not to be in direct competition with 360 or PS3 really if you want a Next gen game 360 and PS3 are the systems to choose.If you want a game system that doesn't push Next gen anything but is fun for most people then Wii is it.  


Well...I guess I am behind on my PS3 news. Scratch that one from my list. What I am trying to get at is he is claiming that the PS3 is so awesome that it surpasses both the 360 and Wii. I don't see it as being that great, other than blu-ray. I've seen HOME before, it's called Second Life. HOME is not out yet, LIVE has been out for years. So please don't claim their online presentation is better when it's not even available. Yes, you're right, Nintendo did say that they are not in the same league as Sony and MS. But don't try to tell me that all three companies are NOT competing for the same consumer dollars. If I want the same old thing with pretty graphics, I will get a PS3 or 360. If I want a new experience, I will (and already have) a Wii. 

I will get a PS3, since they still have some games that will be available only on PS3. Right now, to me, it's an overpriced movie playing machine.
