Get lost godfather. We don't need spammers and trolls on this site.

Besides, if you were an actual gamer and had taken the time to look at the specs for both systems, you'd know that the doctor is right

On paper, yes, the PS3 is a better machine. However, on paper, the Xbox is a better machine than the PS2. It call comes down to the games and what the developers can do with the system. Xbox got it's ass kicked in this round of "THE CONSOLE WARS!!!!" but, with luck, the 360 will have the better game selection.
At least, I hope so. I did enjoy the steps they took in pricing, even though the cheaper systems require you to buy a memory card. However, they know that not everyone is going to be able to afford a 400 dollar machine. Also, by the time the PS3 comes out, the 300 dollar Xbox will hopefully be down to about 250 to 200. Having a console that is two to one hundred bucks cheaper than the competition really is quite the upper hand. Not to mention that while the PS3 games will be about 70 bucks a pop (As will the 360 games will be when they come out) the Xbox360 games will already have their first runs as "Classic" games being sold for thirty to fifty dollars. The prices alone are enough to run the PS3 into the gutter. What do you want to buy? A system with marginally better graphics and a few good launch titles or a system that is a hundred dollars cheaper and six months of games behind it?

You're looking at it the wrong way. The release date is the only thing that the new Xbox has on Ps3. The Xbox is still ugly and they didn't fix the massive controllers (something that always annoyed me a bit). The game selection so far is still eye candy, although they are releasing Oblivion onto it, which could be a good sign for you.

Besides, Nintendo has a better system than the Xbox 360 and it will be cheaper and release not long afterwards. We can't count the Revolution down and out. It's quite the little system

godfather I know you and you don't have the gamer dedication to get past seyda neen on morrowind. So until you waste half your life on something besides Halo, [Flame bait. Bmat] and don't call yourself a true gamer.
