Why should they charge for Online Gaming why should they charge for netflix ? Because MS did it ?

In Europe the PS3 is succesful and in Japan. So the Concept of Sony is better then Xbox360 Concept for those two areas.

I still am amazed why the US Citizens dont care about this rip off methods of MS. Its working Just there nowhere else oh except maybe the UK. The gen is far from over. the difference between MS and Sony is that Sony is a Japanese Company and MS is an American Company. The Japanese Economy takes it strength from their long term investments. Per Capita the Japanese have an even stronger Economy then the US.

You just see the win in the next time but they make plans for a long long time. And it is a clever move from Sony that they dont take fees for Online Gaming. Because that makes the PS3 extremly competitive. If Sony would have used the same Rip Off Tactic as MS. online Fees extremly overpriced things like HD and Wifi then they would have been dead a long time ago. Thats the reason why the PS3 picks up steam. The PS3 will be a success I am sure about that.

And most of the reasons you listed are the reasons why PS3 will be ahead of Xbox360. they made long term investments like Bluray and Cell a lot of this technology is able to be used in PS4 like a 32 Core Cell. They made investments in Technology this Generation which will have long term effects even in the next gen. The PS4 will be much cheaper then the PS3.

I am so looking forward to the future because I think time will show us that Sony made a lot of things right not everything but still more succesful then the Xbox360.

The weakest Sony console will be stronger then the strongest MS Console.


The Cell was invested in by Toshiba and IBM also not just Sony and I believe Sony have actually sold all their rights in the technology on now so I don't think you'll see a Cell processor in the PS4 should one get made. 

Had Sony charged "rip off" fees for online this generation then they might have been in profit for the last 2 years.  They're a business and should be run to make money but in the case of the PS3 Sony have acted irresponsibly, safe in the knowledge the Japanese government will bail them out.  Had Microsoft not had the RROD issue then this generation would be over for Sony already, they got lucky that Microsoft produced the most unreliable console ever.
