@scat wow big deal i got a fine on a website for some reason or another. That will surely bring my life to an end wont it! now what do we do!

If I just correct you on a few things- Im not a Sony fan, I'm a fan of video games. hence the reason Gears of War and Dead or Alive on the 360 are one of my favorite games. Even on the xbox (which i still own), chronicles of riddick, forza and project gotham are some of my highest ranked games from the previous generation.

The only thing which angers me about microsoft is what they did with the xbox. As soon as the 360 was released it cut of all and any support for the 360. The xbox could have done so much better had they not done what they did. What IF (please remember this is a "IF" statement), some how things go horribly wrong for the 360, will they cut the 360 loose as well?! What will they do when Sony decides to make in house games that really start pushing the Cell processor making MS games look inferior in comparison? Will MS say "don't worry, we will be shipping our xbox 720" or please nw buy this accessory to bring ur 360 to spec.

As many of you have pointed out, its the games library that helps consoles sell. Well its not just the library but the variety of games. The ps2 did well thanks to its dance mats, microphones and buzzers for games. Not only did it offer huge variety of games but also offered a variation of game play mechanics. It had games which appealed to a huge variety of different audiences.

As for SOny being behind on sales, it serves them right for taking as long as they did in releasing their console and then getting it all wrong by releasing half decent games for a console so pricey. however, prices will fall and blue ray will become cheaper. More so then anything else, the library will increase and the option of different games available will to. With games making full use of the eye toy, six axix and the blu ray storage. unlike the xbox which only had a considerably shorter life span, i wouldnt be surprised if the 360 has the same.

Im a person who doesn't like to be conned and so far i feel like with the 360 I will be. It is only my opinion and therefor only matters to me, but with the amount of "IF's" that go un-answered, I have a valid reason to doubt MS.

handicapped would be one way to see the battle between the 2 consoles, but I see better the eastern philosophy a better fit; you wake the sleeping giant and it will destroy you. Short lived glories are inevitable failures. If MS dont do something good soon, the only people left with a 360 will be its fanboys. Whether i'm drunk or stoned whilst I write this post, the truth remains. As it goes for anything else in the world, you keep up, or you fall behind.
