Lets just look at the overall picture. Today the Xbox360 has more to offer (software wise) then the ps3. Tomorrow when xbox360 needs to switch to blu ray discs to support better quality titles in terms on graphics and content the 360 will have problems. PSn is already starting to pick up and its installer base is starding to grow and the PS HOME hasnt even launched yet. Unlike the 360 which has had quiet a few of it's established and killer exclusive titles released (gears of war, forza2, halo, pg4) so far, the ps3 only has had metal gear and resistance). With the installer base growing with every exclusive big release, you have to take into term what will happen when the other titles are released which have a huge fan base. Titles such as; god of war, final fantasy, GT5, KillZone etc.
Above all, when the 360 has to eventually switch to blue ray, what will happen to the 360? again this is something else that needs to be taken into account. the 360 is becoming like a pc where you need to upgare it to keep up with the times.many people were not happy having to buy hard drives and HD add ons which they lost out and now they will have to fork out again for a blue ray drive.
I'm not too fussed about whether the PS3 does well or the wii or the 360. But looking at the greater picture and applying commonsense, the 360 will face some problems. Other then graphics, the 360 offers no next generation capabilities.
The wii has its next gen offerings in the form of its revolutionary controller, the PS3 offers blue ray and motion sensing (whihc probably will improve over time), what does the 360 offer for next gen gamers? more add ons at a later date? will 360 owners have to constantly upgrade so their console can be up to date?
I remember when gears of war was released, the developer made a comment on how it had to push the 360 to its limits to make the title. This was within the 1st yr of the consoles release. On the 1st year, the console was made to push its boundaries. For me, that is a haunting thought knowing this is the best the console can do.
But as long as great games are made I ain't too fussed. All you PS3, 360 and wii fanboys can continue arguing, its not you who is making the money, its the companies who own the brands.
