[quote name='DarkNessBear']I really did not think we'd see a winner until at least 2009. Now, PS3 has to win and it's all good.[/QUOTE]
I think this definately is still to be decided! ...
...Which gives me a reason to go off-topic!! But I guess nothing is off-limits here, right? I've had my PS3 now for a couple of weeks and, man, the games really do suck. Well they may not suck but I just can't find anything I would really like to buy that I don't already have on 360. CML for what I own if you want. I only have Motorstorm and Warhawk and the latter is kinda cool :/ I'm a FPS type of guy that bought the PS3 for MGS4 and now, I guess, for bluray as well. I think, in regards to multiplatform FPSs, I will always purchase the 360 version (not to mention- Halo). I really like the 360 controllers for FPSs. The analog sticks seem to be better placed and a whole lot more responsive. Maybe thats just my opinion. I really felt the Sixaxis was not near as responsive for turning as I would like for the Gran Turismo demo (not to mention using X as accelleration).
I really hope the PS3 builds a great library!
Anyways; this may hold no bearing whatsoever on the format war, but it has forced me to own two different and expensive machines in order to get exactly what I want out of my home entertainment. As a 24 year old bachelor with a decent job, this rampant spending is possible but when the next console intro occurs I may not have this luxury (kids, house, savings, etc..). Hopefully the PS3 will actually have a lifespan of around 6-10 years which spells out a super library of games. I think if MS introduces a new machine (within 2-3 years) to push another halo or halo-calibur product I will have to get off of the bandwagon. Which brings up this question... Does anyone see the PS3's life overlapping into the third xbox's life?
