There's a reason, despite all the horrible business decisions sony has made with the PS3, I still give them more credit than Microsoft. Sony, in general, know how to make a good console and games that go with it. Just look at the PS2. It pretty much dominated the last generation of gaming. It not only had a DvD player, but it has had a plathora of memorable games such as Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Final Fantasy and many many others. Sony's not stupid. They just tried to hard with the whole hardware thing. Microsoft makes money by appealing to what the current mass market likes: Downloadable Content, Online Play and Games for the large 20 year old frat boy, i dont care as long i get to shoot something demographic. I think if Sony even put an ounce of more time into the development of the PSN, they'd be able to be propelled out of their slump. Plus, its not like the PS3 doesn't havee good exlcusive titles. I actually had more fun playing Resistance 2 than i ever did playing Halo 3. That and LittleBigPlanet is totally bitching. But in all seriousness, console gaming as whole doesn't really matter much to me. The PC ALWAYS has far superior graphics and much better controls. But if you were gonna get a console, PS3 is probably your safest bet. And those of you who say Nintendo is still in this console race need to get a Reality check. Nintendo has gone to the Dark side. They're also exploiting a new mass market of 5 year olds and Old people and they're never coming back. The only hardcore titles you're ever going to see from them are remakes of their same F***ing franchises about every 4 years. MARIO ZELDA POKEMON METROID. Jesus Christ just die Nintendo, die. ....yeah that is all....
