All that's left for MSFT to do is release a blu ray add-on.

I'm loving seeing the internet's reaction to the news.

I'm no fan of MS, but I tip my hat to them for their show today.

When the announcement was first handed out I was have a very big change in my opinion of PS3 vs 360 future.

Here's my views:

PRE-E3 - PS3 was on a steady march to pass 360 WW my mid-late 2009 on large surge with GT5 and FF13.

During MS conf. - PS3 might permanently stay in 3rd place since last major exclusive was going to 360 as well. This couple with already a one-sided jrpg lineup on the 360 might give it enough of a boost in Japan and elsewhere to keep PS3 in last place.

During SE conf. - PS3 is back to a steady march to 2nd place. Why? Japan FF13, which is by far more important than the other regions is still exclusive to PS3. Thus, the PS3 still will be far higher in sales than the 360 in Japan, marginally higher in Others, and will continue to creep up in NA. The NA difference will be far outweighed by the difference in Japan for Sony.

So, imo, though this is good news for MS and technically SE, it will have no major impact on the outcome of the generation.

PS3 will be 2nd place by the end of 2009.

I think it will be like the current GTA4 scenario, but with 360 and PS3 reversed on current numbers. So I would see about 1-1.5m more SW and maybe 500k-750k more HW.

FF13 was supposed to be a huge boost in 2009, and with current projections, the earliest of catching up is already 2010. With this news, the rate of catching up is looking to have taken quite a big hit as the 360 will still be the cheapest way (I believe) to get FF13 when it is simultaneously released in the West.

But lets wait till Sony's news, and what they have to say.
