[TheRatedR]

I couldn't psot this in the Xbox or PS2 forum because it won't alert both sides of the argument. Just clearing that up so this doesnt get locked.Anyway, I'm all for the Xbox 360. I liked PS2, but I liked PSX even better. Sure, PS3 may be turning heads (even mine) with technical specs almost twice everything that of 360 (well, as far as the teraflops), but that will prove useless. It seems the tables have turned, haven't they? MS releases Xbox 360 BEFORE Sony releases PS3. I remember back when it was the other way around. We saw who got more sales. Sony, of course.But, this time MS is actually making what they meant the original Xbox to be like. Upgradable, and a goddamn powerhouse to a necessary limit. The graphics will be insane and the games will be great. More developers are closing there contracts with Sony and going multiplatform, and many great, small developers (like Bungie was/is) are moving to the 360 as well. Gaming will be great on the Xbox 360 in my opinion.I think PS3 will never use all the technical specs and numbers it uses to boost itself above all other consoles. If they do, it will not be for better graphics, but for loading a huge donkey level without having to fog it out and load it later. But with 3 symmetrical core IBM processors running at 3.2 Ghz each, 360 won't ahve loading issues either. The custom ATI gfx processor will boost that as well. You won't see any difference in graphics and such anymore between the 360 and PS3 because they both will have games and developers that will find it hard to max out the potential. There will be a small difference between the 360 and PS3 graphics-wise. MS was just smarter in being cost effective and allowing the price of the 360 to be significantly less, appealing to much more of the market.Sony estimates PS3 will be 400-500 and MS estimates 360 will be 250-300, just like the original Xbox. Very worth it. I will not buy PS3 until it gets down to 150. Which will probably be 5 years from release or never at all. I'm not interested in the PS3, but it does look impressive.The 360 gives you the oppotunity to make teh 360 a media center. You can directly connect to your XBox to Windows XP, and many special features will be provided to you. Also, FTPing to the console will prove useful for everyone, even mac users. 2 usb ports allow you to record movies, transfer pictures, use mp3players, etc. You can then send those things to friends on Xbox Live silver which comes free. With PS3, it's really just a game machine with FTP capablilities (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong).The games will be neck and neck I believe, and the price of the console will be a huge deciding factor on what to buy. 360 will not only be cheaper, but it will also be cheaper about 9 months before the PS3 comes out for 500 bucks. Even then, MS can do a price drop. MS has a huge advantage with the market and is free for 3 WHOLE QUARTERS! I'm sure great games will be released within this time period. I think we should all expect a rise of the previous underdog here.But, of course, revolution will be a must buy with FULL backwards compatibility. Is that not worth buying that Shyte or what? Downloadable games all the way back to NES and up plus a cartidge slot. That's definitely worht I'm guessing 150-300 for Revolution. It's just not arguable.What do you guys think?The big differences are

Wow what along sentences.You must be good in writing essays and you can also write a video game novel.I really interested with 360 but ps3 is also catching my eyes.May be I need to buy both of the consoles because it will satisfy my wants(just like Sims 2).May be all of you should buy both of the machines also.About Wii,it is also agood console and don't forget with pokemon games that is exclusively come out only in Nintendo,but I don't really interested with the Wii remote and Nintendo should officially make a brand new controller for Wii(maybe it is already exist but I am the one who don't know,Sorry OK).

PS3, since I was learning toward bluray.

Xbox 360 has the better games library. No question. However, I do think that the PS3 will catch up... eventually.
