Far from over I would say, too early to deside.

Maybe, I'm at work, bored and being a bit of a sob at the mo. Still think Manhunt is good, late night lights out fun though. Maybe Sony Europe are a little better because I've only found them helpful in the past

This war is not over yet, not even the current dominating can declare top place. This gen will take a longer period of time to decide which console will come out on top. I mean look at it this way, we still haven't see any major big announcement from 3rd party developers making game for the Wii. If this trend continue well into next holiday season we'll most likely see a major shift of user jumping on board to a HD console. Then there is the other major factor when sony finally decide to drop their system to a mass market point. I personally don't think nintendo can continue to sell high numbers without backing by 3rd parties support.

massmarket price point ~160 usd
I don't see how people keep saying 300 dollars is massmarket

That depends entirely on how good the people that made the game are. I've seen 2D games with 2D sprites bog down mmy Desktop, it was a game my friend made very quicklike. I've also seen some seriousy good optimization in some games. It's the same thing as it is on consoles.

I don't know how M$ will be able to fullfill your first point considering that they lost Bungie and hey just closed Ensemble, their most respected developer.

I think at the end....

Wii
Ps3
X360

Microsost has always relied on 3rd parties on their platforms

Well said

1.wii

2.xbox 360

3.ps3


These words are enough to make all people go crazy.

Hmmm... I remember somebody proposing bans just for being an idiot... maybe it wasnt a bad idea after all :P

Threads like this make my day fun :D
