I think that Xbox 360 is going to make it but I hope PS3 does

[Donald Winship]

The PS3 isn't going to fail. I'd even go so far as to say that the 360 won't manage to outsell it. Sony got their huge game base by being first out, but releasing after the 360, particularly since they have a much better product, isn't going to make their lead vanish. And the PS3 will undoubtedly make up all the lost ground once it releases.

Bottom line: PS3 will retain the same lead the PS2 had. 360 will still play second fiddle, but may gain a little ground. Revolution is doomed by the combination, and Gameboy Micro's fate was already sealed by the PSP

Halo 3 comes out the same day as PS3. Joke's on you, Sony. :)

[Donald Winship]

That won't hurt it much.

Just remember Nightshift, that Nintendo has owned something like 90% of the handheld market, and Gameboys are the highest selling system ever. At least, in the past. Plus, with a Pokemon DS game coming out, it might sway a lot of people that are undecided.

Sony will probably use the same tactic as it used for PS2, which will be hyping it up to be something its not. Sadly, this normally means that when the real specs are revealed, some people will be dissapointed...

Nintendo, however, will be honest from the start with Revolution...but buyers who already sold their souls to the false PS3 rumors, will shy away from it.

Nintendo is as good as dead, really. Their marketshare of games and systems today is tiny compared to either that of MS or Sony

[Blitzkreig (Nik Marquez)]

They will make enough money to drown in once SHadow the hedgehog comes out sodont jinxs it until ive got a copy or 12

[Ragnarok]

unless a new GTA comes out on the same date as the PS3. it won't sell that well.

as for the 360 and halo three, it sould to me like MS is really trying to get high sales.

I think everyone recognizes that Nintendo's share in the console race is pretty much over. They will still hold only the handheld market, even though the PSP is better than the DS, purely for the reason that more people are used to the idea of a "gameboy".

As for PS3 and X-Box 360, based off of their E3 conferences, they seem to on completely different ends of the spectrum. Microsoft is going for a focus on the community with no actual discussion of hardware specs and technical features. They talked about this great X-Box live system, with "Gamer Cards" to show how awesome you are, and a system for downloading game and movie previews right to your 360. They are basically trying to make it a home entertainment center instead of a gaming console.

Sony, on the other hand, geared it's conference solely towards the technological achievements of the PS3. They showed the absolutely stunning real-time light rendering system that made the demos looks fantastic. They talked about the specific architecture of the cell processor, the different developments of new video RAM techniques, and overall tried to appeal to the nerdier audience.

I guess that's why I liked Sony's presentation much better.

Now I own an X-Box, but I have to admit that I think that Sony is going to blow 360 out of the water. With better technical stats, and a more gaming driven approach, I think it's going to be a no contest.

[Steven Turner]

awesome

[Donald Winship]

The only thing against the PS3 is that game code doesn't run effeciently on a parallel interface (and their Cell processor is based off 7 parallel cores). But the XBOX 360 shares this handicap, albiet to a lesser degree (only 3 parallel cores). On the other hand, graphical performance will be incredible on the 360, and even more amazing on the PS3. So if game designers can do wonders opimizing their game code and do a fairly good job on graphics, I think both will do quite well.

Hint: I said cough cough, meaning that you dislike them...ugh...stop acting so classic. ;)
