But this is still showing the trend of consumers no? You wouldn't google it if you weren't interested. *generally*

I absolutely hate the 360 controller. It just doesn't fit my hands right. And quite frankly, Im extremely happy Sony didn't go with the hole "boomerang" gimmick. The Wiimote and the PS3 controller fit just great for me.

And personally, I also hate the 360's battery. I have the rechargeable ones (who doesn't) and they dont even last that long. The PS3 controller has lasted me 3-4 days without dieing. The Wiimote lasts about that long too with their rechargeable batteries too. The 360 doesnt last me 2 days.

wow just wow

anyway ever sense I was young I always wanted to do stuff on consoles. I know the ps3 has a option to install a other OS and it has a harddrive bay that is easy to remove and upgrade . I don't know much about xbox360, but my Brother had it once and it RROD on him :S.

I'm not a big console gamer but I picked ps3 because well the fact that you can FOLD + Linux. I stopped / Slowed down playing console games after I got my ps2 (2/3 years ago) because I found out PC was getting better in terms of games. I also have Rainbow Six Vegas for ps3 and it's a very good game BUT! I hate using the analog sticks for walking and moving the gun around (keyboard + Mouse FTW!!)


I think 451.10$ was worth it for the ps3. That's how much it cost me for the 40GB on bestbuy on boxing day

Sony hasn't even put out there battle options while the 360 is running out of theres. You want a war? give it a year, then you'll see a PS3 massacre

Good post Vulcan!

Yeah I was mostly expecting this...seriously though, the only people who care about console sales are fanboys, you have to admit. The only situation in which we should care about console sales is if they're SO bad that the console itself is in jeopardy of becoming extinct and that's obviously not going to happen here.

Battle Options? What Battle Options? The ability to have some exclusive games turn multi platform? .

I think the PS3 will sell alot in 2008 because of MGS and GT and various other games that are coming out for it. But can you name more than 1 or 2 triple A titles coming out after that for the PS3? I can't although admittedly I am not that up on such matters, but I know for the 360 there will be the enevitable Gears of War sequel, the Mass Effect Sequel, EndWar (which I am looking forward to even if it isn't a huge game really), so on a so forth that will lead to another 360 push toward the end of the year when EndWar and perhaps GoW2 comes out (hasn't been confirmed, but would fit the timeline) I think at this point it is just 360 and PS3 trading "whose-triple-A-titles-are-coming-out-this-year" punches where each will do better when they have there heavy hitters coming out.

EDIT: It appears Endwar is for 360 and PS3, my mistake
