Wow...I'm actually considering going for the Ps3.
I stuck so hard to the Xbox because, hardware wise, it was undeniably the champion, and thus had much greater potential.
But with Ps3 actually winning....wow.
My world has shattered...
I KNOW! I'LL JUST GET BOTH!
Im not sure if this was in this thread or not, but someone mentioned the Nintendo Revolution being able to play any Nintendo game ever released...
Is this just rumor/speculation? Anyone?
ADDITION:
**I personally hope that no company ever puts another out of business.
The longer this ongoing war between the three giants continues, the better it is for us gamers. Competition=Improvement.
Games and systems will evolve and develop faster, and by general rule of thumb:
The more companies battling=the cheaper the prices.
If Microsoft was to slaughter Sony and Nintendo, (or buy them....heaven knows they have enough money), Microsoft would be free to slack off, and focus more on making money than on putting out a superior product, with only PCs as competition. Inferior hardware, and ridiculous prices for everyone. Not fun.
The same thing applies to the other companies. Competition is a GOOD thing, so don't condemn anyone to death! ANYONE!
ANOTHER ADDITION:
...I'm going to cry...
Ps3:
QUOTE
The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second
Xbox360:
QUOTE
CPU Game Math Performance= 9 billion dot product operations per second
9 to 51....Wow. I'm not very technologically minded when it comes to computer processes...What exactly is a dot product operation?
And why the hell is Xbox360 is so much lower compared to the Ps3?!
YET ANOTHER ADDITION!:

haha, I serioulsy hate people who still think that Xbox has pwned in sales.
A, It's not nice to hate, period;
B, That is a very stupid thing to hate someone for. If he had, say, murdered someone close to you, by all means, hate him. But because he believes something that isn't true? About a game console? Come on, man, have some tolerance!
C, I like to list things.
D, He didn't say that Xbox had way more sales than Sony. He said that Xbox had way more sales than Sony
EXPECTED. A company with no hardware history such as Microsoft, jumping into the game that late, Sony/Nintendo weren't expecting as much competition as was experienced from the Xbox.
ANOTHER FREAKING ADDITION!? DO YOU NOT HAVE A LIFE!!?:
Ps3 has double the overall system performance than that of the Xbox360. I am losing faith fast.
I would buy the 360 for Halo 3 and The Elder Scrolls 4 alone, if only the price wasn't so steep...400$? I could get my HD, RAM,
and video card for that much money....bleh.
JUST GIVE IT UP MAN!...*sigh* ADDITION:
Just saw the screenshots. Aesthetically-wise, I think both systems look really nice. Silver seems to be flooding the market, but hey, whatever. But the controller design for the Ps3....what the hell!? I laughed so hard. I have dial-up, so the picture was loading slowly, from top to bottom, as always. When it got to the controller, my thoughts were "hey, not bad. Kinda funky, I like it"....but then it kept loading, with more handle showing.. And loading. And yet still more controller handle. I was laughing so hard....ah, as long as it functions right, looks aren't that important.
OKAY, LAST ONE, I PROMISE:

Sony is still pwning in America with a wide variety of games but Xbox is just pwning with PS2 games stolen and changed into Xbox games.
Not only are you implying that Xbox has a very limited range of games (which is not necessarily true, with RPGs being the exception. Tsk tsk, Microsoft) you are also implying that Sony themselves were personally involved in the production of all Ps2 games. They don't make the games, they buy them from developers. If the developers decide to make a larger profit by releasing the game to Microsoft or Nintendo as well, that's not MS "stealing," they're doing the exact same thing as Sony. Purchasing games from developers.
