With Halo 3, being launched to release on the same day as the PS3's supposed release date, I know that I will be running out to get Halo 3 then locking my self in my dorm room for 2 days with nothing but my trusty 360 and a case of BAWLS. Playstation in my opinion has lost any advantage they might have had by delaying the PS3 so long, If they could have released the PS3 before the 360 then they might have had a chance but I have a fealing the the PS3 will go the way of the GC. Now Sony might be able to suprise people and I hope for the sake of competioton in the console market do. But the only way I could see this working is by using a classic mircosoft solutin and loss some money on the console to bring the price down abit. Unfortunatly Sony does not have the ability to absorbe such a loss in my opionon. On to the next thing, mainly the contorers on the new generation of consoles. As far as I have seen, only the 360 has a solid controller, MS took a good controller and made it better, if somewhat more expensive. Nintendo i applaud for being inovative and hope that it turns out to work well, unfortunatly Nintendo does not have a good track record with controllers, on the 64 you needed 3 hands, and to compensate on the GC you need redicously small hands. Sony, well I just dont know what Sony Is planning with this one, Sony had a sold controller with the PS2, which they completly did away with, and now it looks like a boomerang. Humm I wonder if i throw one will it come back??? One to online gameplay, In this area MS will always lead, simply because of the large knowledge base to pool from and the fact that they had a superb existing network set up. Nintendo again is getting inovative and if it works will be a huge advantage, depending on the monthly subscription fee. Sony on the other hand, is where I belive we will see our biggest let down, they have not realsed much on there online game play, this can be viewed from two different angles, the first being that they have nothing, just the original ps2 online with the 2 crossed out and a 3 added, or on the other hand they may have a great online setup ready to go and they are just hidding it as a suprise. However with Sony's track record with the PS3 of advertising features it has, doesnt have and dont work i doubt it very unlikely that this is the case. In the name department, the nintendo revolution had the coolest one, with x box 360 being second and ps3 being last, come one how uncreative is PS3, but with nintendos change from revoltuion to wii all i can do is shake my head. As I see it, the XBox 360 will remain in the lead as more and more people use them on the high def tv's they were intended for, the Wii will come in second while the PS3, like the PS2 will be a disapointment
sorry for the digression
