i hardly think killzone 3 looks better than gears 2 so imma say whatever. man people act like the ps3 a super console compared to the 360 lol.

No one is acting like that. This thread is about KZ3 on the PS3. No one is talking about PS3 vs XBox.

i dont mean people in the thread in general. nd i really meant they act like its a super console in general. though someone in the thread did say it could compete with a xbox 720 and super wii jokingly i guess.

The PS3 will compete with the next Wii because the Wii 2 might not even be built to the high specifications of the PS3; it wont have blu ray, it might not have 3D - if they meet the PS3 on its hardware level then they create a console that is more expensive and in doing so eliminate their cheap and casual price consumer advantage.
Nintendo wont create a console too powerful because they force their current users to pay more than they would for a PS3.
the PS3 is NOT a super console, its outdated from a PC standpoint. but its stil expensive - which is why it will still be here for at least 4 years. people arnt going to pay more money for hardware specs they dont understand - unless they are PC enthuasists.
the PS3 could well compete with the 720. if Microsoft release again next year or they wait 5 years and release at the same time as the PS4. if Microsoft make the console too powerful and they release again soon, they create a massive price gap between the PS3 and 720. however if they make the console only slightly more powerful then they create a competitive price point, but sacrifice the power threshold of their console to be able to compete. if they dont - they could end up in a Dreamcast/Saturn effect.
so in a nutshell i think the PS3 will compete both price wise and technically with the WIi 2 and possibly the 720. depending on how Microsoft release their next console.

The PS3 is not going to compete with the 720, get it out of your head. PCs are multiple times powerful than the PS3 is now and the 720 specs will easily be on par with what PCs are at now or even better. The PS3 isn't that much more powerful than the 360. Stop fooling yourself. Saying the PS3 will compete with the 720 is like saying the original Xbox could have competed with the PS3 graphically. The original Xbox was twice as powerful as the PS2 and still doesn't compete with this gen.

But the Wii has successfully beaten the PS3 and 360 in all 3 major regions. i wouldve said the Wii is about the same power as the orginal Xbox (although i'm not claiming to know).
my point is that, the mass consumer dosent care or understand hardware specs. but theres a multitude of scenarios that can play out. for example Microsoft dosent support blu ray, meaning that PS3 still holds a significant advantage if the 720 dosent come with blu ray.
if Microsoft release a new console soon then they could place themselves in a Saturn/Dreamcast scenario.
and these companies are also buisnessess. the PS3 only recently made money and the 360 hasnt fared much better. so releasing a new console isnt just about matching your competitor; profitibility is key for a company. it would be financial suicide for Sony to release a new console straight after Microsoft does so close to the PS3's only made profit. maintaining the PS3 means they undercut their competitor - the developers dont have to learn how to use the architecture - and they already have huge 3rd party support.
however if Kinect does increase the 360 lifecycle for another 5 years, then Sony will use the PS4.
