Besides, it was already unofficially announced that the sports games are going to be using the same engines as they do on the 360 so it's not like those are going to look much or any better regardless. And it fires missiles.

The thing is, Sony has came right out of the box stating that EVERYTHING was going to be better compared to the zboz2000. Hardware, software, the fact that every other day it will give oral, etc.

The main question is how will developers respond? If enough of them flock to the 360 with at least ports Microsoft could pull ahead, but if things with 3rd parties remain as they are then the PS3 will still do fine. Sony just needs to make sure that whatever it launches with doesn't look like total ass sitting next to whatever the 360 is pimping at that point.

Microsoft did what they were aiming to do with the Xbox, getting a brand name out there. Now that it's known and its successor is on shelves more people are willing to give it a chance, so it's up to Sony to not make themselves look totally retarded. Really, I think it'll take a massive fuck up to get all the people that equate the name "PlayStation" with "videogame consoles in general" to not get their product, and I don't think similar graphics would be that fuck up. Unless we see a bunch of developers announcing more and more stuff for the 360 and less for the PS3, I don't think Sony will have too big a problem on their hands.

Although I do think it will be really fucking funny if the PS3 is weaker or is equal but with shitty online.

Online is KEY this time around, I can't stress this enough. Anything less than Live is going to be atrocious.

Microsoft should make an offer for any trade secrets he's hiding.

To a minority. For the majority of people on-line will never be that big a deal. At least not now.

I don't know about that, Live has made online gaming pretty mainstream.

It still fails as far as RPG's go.

No, it hasn't. What percentage of Xbox owners are on Live? 20% maybe? Add to that the fact that the Xbox's userbase is dwarfed by the PS2's, and you have a very small percentage of people online.

True, but 3.5 million and growing Live users can't be ignored.

What's that like ~200 million a year?
