bro,

you would find a lot of people who are thinking that ps3 wouldnot win the console war which is impossible.

The devs of HAZE have also reinstated the claim of ps3 being the most powerful consumer hardware.

ps3 is like Australia in the world of gaming.

after losing to England and Newzealand they were written off by the pundits in the cricket world cup 2007.

they proved them wrong by winning it 3 in a row.

Wii is like India . It is the best selling next gen console in US /JAPAN but the momentum might be steamed off in the long run.

X360 is like Pakistan. Pakistan has the potential to beat any team in world cricket on a given day.

X360 in a similiar way can rekindle fire with games like Blue Dragon even in Japan(lost territory) but only for a very short duartion of time

Yo Larry,

Do you know ANYTHING about Cricket?? I like your analogy - except that its wrong!

Australia = Nintendo

England = Sony

South Africa = Microsoft

...

Australia used to rule the roost, then lost the ashes. Everyone thought it was game over. They even managed to lose a (one-day) series to England (then NZ) in the most unlikely way possible.

The last ashes series (in England) was the last console generation. Nintendo tried hard, but England had the home advantage, better form & less injuries.

The most recent series is *this* generation. Australia have been licking their lips over the loss, and planning their revenge - just like Nintendo were over Sony. This time Australia had the home advantage, less injuries, and a much more convincing strategy. England's strategy worked in the past... and they tried it one too many times - just like Sony.

The result? A 5-0 whitewash. A bit like what is happening to Sony now.

Throw in the World Cup to represent handhelds - and we all can see what happened to the PSP...

...

As for South Africa - they always try really hard, have lots of firepower - but just can't do it in the end. (I think it was a real pity that SA didn't play the Aussies in the World Cup final...).
