At everything I stated, Sony is in a totally different league as MS. It’s like a pro football team competing against High School team. This is all new to MS, and something Sony has been excelling at for decades. The cost of the PS3 will reach $100 long before the cost of the 360 will. The reliability of the PS3 will outperform the 360 for its entire lifetime. It currently has more features: Built in Wi-Fi, built in HD Movie Player, Bluetooth, upgradeable HD, HDMI (now all 360’s sold have it). It’s quieter, and looks more like a piece of home theater equipment (although that’s subjective).

If the competition was to make the best software, MS would win. But at the end of the day, what these companies expect you to buy, is a piece of hardware. MS, today anyway, cannot remotely compete with Sony when it comes to consumer electronics. They can make something great that they deliver on day one. But the qualities needed to make that a successful product over the life of its usefulness, MS has not yet figured out.


Two things - first, if MS is a high school team, they'd be investigated because there's no way on God's green earth that a prep school could hang with a horrible college team, much less a pro team. Right now, it's the first half of the basketball game, and Sony is doing little more than trading baskets. I could see if Sony came out in Nov. 2006 and just pummelled MS like Ninny did. They did little more than make a few free throws. Near the end of the first quarter, they were getting buried and finally woke up. They started a brief run, but soon MS answered and now, it's still a 40-point lead for MS.

The second part is - what makes a console a success. Who said the 360 wasn't useful? I watch digital downloads a lot on it. I can also chat with my buddies on MSN Messenger without having to go back to my PC. If they had a Web browser, I'd never need to get on my PC unless I need to use Photoshop. And I enjoyed having the option of no having to buy a hard drive, not having to buy a next-gen HD player AND not having to buy a wifi adapter unless I wanted to. Guess what - for $199, I can get a 360 and a few bucks more and I can be gaming in the next-gen. No so with the PS3. And really, all a person is getting is the potential of an awesome system in the future.

In the end, the 360 is losing to the PS3 by just 20K to 30K a week. At that rate, it would be take 4 to 5 years to not only catch the 360, but hopes the 360 just stops selling altogether.

In the end, it's your opinion and not mine, but the numbers don't lie ... 


your right numbers dont lie and sony sold more units its 1st year then microsoft and is starting 2008 with more units sold. ps3 will be n second and when the price drops and blu-ray is the standard it will kill xbox even tho it is starting to already.
