with the amount of great games that are coming out for the 360 people need time to play those, I mean if sales were slowing down they probably would have within the next 6 months but they are continung to rise.

Not the best descision, with the current hardware inside the Xbox 360 it won't be able to compete with the PS3 in the near future

Or are they going to release a New Processor + Graphics addon, well I doubt it's even possible

Really I think I know what they will do, they will start competing with the Wii they can easily do that I think they already started with the childish new firmware and the cheap games that will support those childish looking avatars

They know in the near future they will earn more with Shovelware Wii games and Microsoft always has been chasing the money so I really think that will be the plan sadly

Who says I have a PS3?

I'm a PC gamer and the PS3 hardware is just amazing, the Xbox 360 isn't for long



It like you can build a PC for $300 it will play all current games on good settings and coming games in med/low settings



You could also build a PC for $1000 this will play all current games on good settings and a lot of games coming in the future also on good settings



And please keep me out of your sick console wars calling everybody a fanboy when they don't talk positive about your superhero

Dude I know what's in a PS3 and what's in a Xbox 360

I'm not this kind of guy that just shouts it looks better on my console, I know what both systems can handle and I can see an ending in Xbox 360

You are saying I need the console to know which is best that's total nonsense all a person needs to know is the hardware and what it's capable of

HitDyl is right...it is a fact that ps3 has the best hardware, but it doesnt mean it is the console that is doing better in the market right now.. but we cannot predict the future :)

I don't think HitDyl is saying the PS3 IS the better console, just that its hardware will carry it further than the 360 in the long run, so if Microsoft will keep going with the 360 they will have to keep finding new things to try (on par with Hit's guess on that they'll begin to try attracting the casual crowd)



I agree with BIH that the 360 still has stuff to squeeze out of it; the Unreal 3 Engine never ceases to amaze us, and hopefully other devs can still find ways to maximize performance and aesthetics on the 360, but that doesn't mean there's equally (or better in opinion) work being pushed too on the PS3. I've only seen HD video footage of various PS3 games, but I think the work done on Resistance 2 and work being done on Killzone 2/Uncharted 2 (lots of 2s here) can pose some competition to the 360.

err....

Lets see what devs can bring the rest out with the 360's 3-core processor, but also lets see the potential of the Cell as well.

Even though I have both systems I'm more leaning to the PS3 side. If my 360 wasn't modded I would have lost so much much trying to get that s*** fixed. If you get a PS3 you will also see what I mean when I say the PS3 is more money and user friendly. Don't hate consoles if you haven't tried them. The only reason I'm more PS3 is because I have the older model of 360 the new ones have lower failure rate so try that.

Let me precede my following comment with this: I own a 360, and I love it.



But I agree with this guy 100%.



However, 4 years is just too short. Microsoft has to stick it out 1 more year, and I'm hoping for a mid to late 2010 release.

And that is customers my friend.



If you go to any store and ask a random person what they think of Blu-Ray, they'll tell you "I don't give a sh*t".



The 360's hardware will be dated soon, but that will only matter to the die-hards who need the latest and greatest. And those are not the people who pay MS's bills. The rest of the people will not notice, because they'll still be enjoying great games



People from the very beginning of this (new gen consoles) said that the great games would pass over the 360 and be made for PS3 because of Blu-Ray. I don't think that happened...

I OWN BOTH CONSOLES AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THE PS3 TRUMPS THE 360 IN THE GRAPHICS DEPT. once developers really start utilizing the Cell BE through coding, the PS3 will get cheaper to develop for, right now, its a matter of re-training dev's on how to USE the cell properly. we are now starting tos ee the true might of the cell BE. I say 2009 is the year of the PS3 definately. Since i bought my PS3, I haven;t even turned on my 360. and i own 16 games for my 360. All the best titles too. Ps3 i've only got 7 games so far, but they are ALL good. And Blu-Ray on my 52" samsung LCD is nothing short of breathtaking.
