The only reason why PS3 will sell so many is becuase they've been saying they will commingout with the PS3 for years. And people just wait and wait in anticipation. And then Xbox goes and put out the 360 right away instead of waiting for the PS3 to come out. Everyone knows that the original Xbox is technologically better than the PS2. Microsoft should've waited and tweaked with it a little after the PS3 comes out. Then it would be a good rivalry. And nintendo... I don't even know what the hell they're thinking with that F'ed up controller they came out with! People want to play video games, they wanna sit on the couch or lie on their beds and play until ungodly hours of the night. They don't want to get physical! I might as well go out side do something real, than to do all that crap inside.

If you search the history of video gaming you will see that just because a system is more powerful than the next doesnot make a good rival or competition. The library of games has always been the deciding factor so all the argueing over which will be the most powerful system really is obsolete.

People....hold on a second...Microsoft is not that bad. I like microsoft because the system gives better graphics for it's games. In the past, if the games come out on several platform...I have always loved it the most on the xbox. I can't wait to get my hands on a samsung xbox360 with the firewire put on it. Bill gates is good.

Of course ZIppyDSM......Why do you think I loveDOA3 on the xbox so much? I just put that game in to stare at the ladies... LOL!!! This game makes me feel special because by just press 1 button...I can do cool moves and beat the crap out of anyone...LOL!!!! Just kidding ZIppyDSM.....No I can't play a good looking game that has poor gameplay. But can you play a crappy looking game that plays well for "LONG"!!!! I am not for either gameplay or graphics....but I want a game that plays well "AND" looks good. So the games have to look somewhat decent because we are in the 21st century.

But who wants BluRay?
What percentage of people actually own an HD-TV?
We want great games at an affordable price!
Im not taking sides but £199 for an Xbox360 or £530 for the PS3 dosent take much thinking about.
If i want to watch HD movies i also got the choice to buy the HD-DVD add on for the Xbox360 and before all you PS3 fanboys stick the boot in HD-DVD has only a slightly smaller storage capability than BluRay so what the hell!
Glad to hear you opinions

well i think if you cant enjoy a game b.c it has older graphics but the game is great then you have to be shallow. I am not buying a game just b.c it looks great. What would it sound like if i told someone,"Oh i bought this game b.c the graphics are killer even though the game is boring." I have a psp and love playing zelda on nes emulator. Graphics are years outdated but the game is great. So is the zelda on Snes. Look at ms. pacman. If you walk into an arcade if you dont see anygame you will see ms. pacman and its not b.c of the graphics that is for sure. What about games that are so addictive like tetris, ms. pacman, luminees, bubble bobble, bust-a-move(aka puzzle bobble), super tecmo bowl(NES), etc.. I am 27 years old and i love to play those old games and graphics sure dont make them great today. I love good graphics as well though but that is just a plus to have as long as the gameplay can match up to the top notch graphics.

"because of the high price tags that come with third-gen consoles, fewer will be sold this generation"
Yeah, so The Yankee Group has no idea what they're talking about. The PS3/X360/Wii are 7th generation consoles. Well, if you're counting from individual companies, the PS3 is 3rd gen. The Xbox360 is 2nd gen, and the Wii is 5th gen. In terms of all consoles overall, though, all three are 7th gen.
And of course none of them are going to sell as well. The difference between the upcoming gen consoles and the current one is much less than between previous consoles. The extra bang for your buck is getting smaller with each generation.
The forecast that the PS3 will sell 30 million units by 2011 carries with it a huge assumption, namely that Sony will still be around and selling them in five years. The electronics division of Sony has posted losses in the millions of dollars in four out of the past five years. Things aren't going to improve in the next couple years, as the launch of a new console always brings with it a huge initial profit loss. The PS3 just might be the end of Sony as we know it.
