Let's hope Sony can keep their lead over Xbox. With them releasing in the Spring of 06 and Xbox releasing this year its going to make for an interesting battle. It will be reminiscent of the Sony-Sega war of years past. Sega just did not get enough developers onboard to compete.

Historicaly, the company that releases their game system first has a huge advantage but if you do not have the games to support it, you fizzle out and die.

seems to me that xbox also want to gear toward the entertainment center in the living room while PS3 is aiming for the best gaming console.

i really don't understand why gaming systems are still built around disc formats. time to get rid of moving parts imo

[SAMSAMHA]

well, other methods might be too expensive to product. I mean, many games are come as dvd format, so if you want to put the games in flash drives, it's gonna cost much more than what's costing now.

[KrazyIvan]

Exactly, it's all about the money.

[AManNamedPlayer]

i don't think it's all money. i think the US public feels disc are high tech and they would choose a disc product over a non disc. N64's cartridge system blew away playstation disc system imo, but playstation was the "cool" system to own.
i know there were other differences than just the type of media.

actually, it is all money now that i re-read what i wrote. why did i doubt that, it's always money

I agree that the N46 cart is more durable than the PS disc. I had both systems and greatly prefered the PS.

AW, THE good old nintendo. Man, I missed the the old fun.

[KrazyIvan]

I still have my old Atari 2600!

[SAMSAMHA]

atari, man that may even be older than what I can remember. Nintendo (the first one) is the first ever gaming console that I own. Love play the mario bros.

[AManNamedPlayer]

2600 was my first, would get so frustrated losing "Combat" to my sis.
we went through a few of the 2600s. then got an IntellivisionII with the Atari adapter.





first nintendo was the one that really blew me away cause the game quality of Mario was very close to the average arcade machine of the time

Well the PS3 and Xbox specs are 'very' alike, the PS3 might have 2 'Teraflop' FPP, but it lacks encoded hardware performance that is included in the Xbox360 that MS has patented for the Xbox!

Checking out the games on both, they both look alike, performance wise, but once developers get a hang of the console and the 2nd and 3rd Gen titles roll out for each system, I think you`ll find the only diffrence between the Xbox360 and PS3 will be extra functionality (aka live over sony network), etc

Graphically, they are both superior looking.

I think the Xbox360 will have the edge over the PS3 though, MS know marketing, with the current Xbox they have given players exactly what they want, plus the Xbox360 has other functions and compatibility with other everyday items, that the PS3 does not, aka iPod, Mobile Phone, blah blah blah

In the end, thiers games that only hit each system specifically, which is why we end up buying both or maybe the revolution will entice us to buy all 3, who knows, or cares, the company that will deliver will raine supreme, and visitors of the E3 Expo that had hands on, suggested that the MS next gen console, which is also very sexy I might add, 'HAS' the upper edge over the PS3, in release schedule, 40 odd launch titles, HUGE developer support, a crazy statistic fan base that grows every minute!

I think the old days of being a fanboy or a biggot are over, the Xbox360 might outsell and out perform the PS3, but who cares? sony wont, it will still have a HUGE userbase, I mean theirs like BILLIONS of people on this planet! theirs room for Nintendo, MS and Sony, and these 3 next gen machines all offer something diffrent to each other, which is why all 3 will live out a 4 to 5 year FULLY SUPPORTED life span, maybe longer!

I say lap it up, becuase if the past 10 years of competition didnt come down to these company's wanting your $, then the consoles coming out tomorrow would not be near the specs of pure power as they are coming out as!

It works for everyone, in one way, shape or form.

What PS3 games would allow me to play co-operately with an offline friend against online opponents? I understand Left 4 Dead allows this, but I don't have an Xbox. Also, what PS3 games can you recommend that have good offline multiplayer or co-operative gaming? So many multiplayer modes these days only consist of online action.
