This is sad that so many on the internet actually think MS is "evil" and sony is "good", literally. Really sad the mentality. But not surprising really at all.
Anyways I dont know why people are surprised. Last time PS3 was: One year late, not more powerful than 360, and $599 dollars. This time Sony has none of those huge disadvantages, and also has a huge $100 price advantage. This is early days, given all the roadblocks, the DRM debacle, $100 price disadvantage, less power, XBO is doing surprisingly well imo. And it's a long race.
