| MikeB said: @ Markus You say that they can't be compared because high definition movies exist in abundance? So do high definition games, they are just all for the Xbox360. That's kind of the point I was trying to make, people know what to expect from XBox 360 games. The initial line-up of XBox 360 did not quite push the hardware that much, now people know what they can expect from the XBox 360. I think the retirement of the XBox also helped to kickstart Xbox 360 sales, the PS2 is still going pretty strong globally as can IMO currently be looked at as Sony's entry product into Playstation gaming. But with regard to PS3 gaming, things are only just starting to get interesting. Sure Resistance, Motorstorm and Oblivion are eye-catching games but Oblivion was already released quite a bit before the PS3 version hit the market. With regard to HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray as a movie format, they regard movies people already have seen before on DVD or in the cinemas, and so we have a good understanding which movies are likely to perform better than others.

Good points
I agree that Xbox360 is farther along to pushing its own limits than the PS3. On a scale of one to ten graphics wise, 360 probably started at a 6, is at 7.5 right now, and till hit 9. PS3 started at 7, and might eventually reach 10. But I think that unless things turn around quickly, the developers willing to bring blockbusters to the PS3 that push the graphics to its limits will keep decreasing and it might be too late to save it. Only time will tell.
