>>609818 Let us see, the Xbox's library is small compared to the PS2/PS3 library of games.
Also, everyone forgets, the PS2 is still outselling the Xbox 360.
As for downloading of games... who cares? Are you really buying a "next gen" console to play 8-bit games? If you are, you wasted a lot of money.
As for online play, it is a nice feature but most Americans do not have high speed internet. This means no online play for you. People buy a console for games.
OMG HALO 3!
One game is not going to make a system. Microsoft needs to follow Halo 3 up with better games (which shouldn't be to hard) in order to stay fresh. Can it deliver? Maybe, but I don't know of too many Xbox owners that are looking forward to any other releases but Halo and Madden, which you can get on the PS3.
I think that IF, and it is a BIG "if", Sony can lower the price of the PS3 and deliver games like it did for the PS2, it will continue to crush the competition.
For a purely hardware and development standpoint, the argument seems to go back and forth. Xbox has some excitement about it, mostly because of Halo and it being "new" which will motivate developers to make games for it. It's downside is the non-standard minimum of consoles; not every Xbox has a hard drive.
For Sony, there is a minimum level expected for each console as well as the ability to go graphically farther than the Xbox but the lack of sales and high price per unit is hampering the desire of developers to make games.
In the end, Sony will make or break it self depending on if it can sell more units and continue to release games like those for the PS2.
