Just a heads up Waffle...
"the PS3 is matching the Xbox 360’s first year sales"
This is from

And Sony was able to match the 360's sales while going against the 360 and Wii...
...the 360 was the only "next gen" choice when they came out and still, their first year numbers equal Sony's.
Interesting, no?
I made the choice to buy a 360 at the very end of 2006. If I could go back in time and change my purchase, I would. After dealing with a failed 360 (not to mention, the other 6 people I know who own a 360 who also ALL had theirs fail) I truly regret my decision.
As far as the companies go, I really don't like either Sony or MS.
They can both go and F themselves for all I care. I just have a sickness...
...I need to wind down after working by playing a video game or two (or 3 or 4). If I didn't need that, I wouldn't own a console. Period.
And I am not that impressed by these so called "next gen" games. Gears of War was so prominently hyped, I was so disappointed with how shallow and small the game really was. I enjoyed it, but once it was done, it was done. Finito. Fin. Over. MLB2k7, Madden 08, APF2k8...all these had the positives, which generally revolved around graphics, but the gameplay was lacking when compared to recent PS2 counterparts of similar sports games, and the glitches and lack of product testing should be embarassing to these gaming companies. Pathetic.
The only game I really loved is available on both (and runs much smoother on PS3) and that is Oblivion.
I am looking forward to Assassin's Creed & GTA mostly, and they are on both systems. I would like to play Halo 3, but what is the point of buying it when the machine you play it on fails at an extremely high rate?
Not to mention the LE Halo 3 box has a design flaw and the discs don't stay attached to the nub inside, causing both to become loose and scratch each other up to the point where they are nearly all unplayable. MS just can't get too much right.
