I'm on my 6th 360, had to re-buy twice already, so that could possibly be it as well. You make a great point LH. I’m on my 6th 360, had to re-buy twice already, so that could possibly be it as well.

With that said its still an awesome console with great titles, although claiming more and better titles is disputable. There will be no doubt that an XBox360 will be sitting next to my PS3 if the jasper chip or whatever its called turns out to be the RROD killer.

The PS3 does have a few triple A titles though. PS3: - Metal Gear Solid 4 - Uncharted Drakes Fortune - Resistance 1 and 2. The overall library is bigger for MS though, and biggest reason why is because they had a good year start. Hardly any triple AAA titles, I hope you’re not talking about the 360.

360:

- Gears of War 2
- Halo 3
- Mass Effect
- Bioshock, which is on the PS3 now.
- Gears of War 1

PS3:

- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Uncharted Drakes Fortune

Nobody is going to buy an inferior console which has either a 33% failure rate or hardly any AAA games if they can get a PS3 for roughly the same price. It's like Sony said......THEY decide when this generation starts.

Obviously people don´t care about quality. If Sony lowers the price more people will start to buy it. But that´s just my opinion. The price is too high. Obviously people don´t care about quality.

It doesn’t matter that they lose money on the console because Sony profits in a lot of other division, they have a lot of money to advertise.

It aint hard to tell, if you hear by word of mouth that the ps3 doesnt have any games the you may be less likely to get the ps3. How many times have you wanted to see a movie and heard that it sucked and changed your mind not knowing the people who didnt like the movie never even saw it. The point is Im still trying to find the flaws that people talk about. Much like the Wii if people had something good to say instead of nitpicking all the time we might see some change. Just play the damn thing dont believe the hype. The only reason people dont like the ps3 is because other dont people dont like the ps3.

If you think that your product it's better or at least as good as your competition thrn why did they needed so many price cuts. In realrty if look a sales the truth is that for each PS3 sony sells MS have to sell 2 so there sales should be cut in half and you'll see who's selling more, not to mention the fact that MS had a year head start, plus all the adverticing and all the derty deeds the're doing with the so called exclusive stuff. So to me the Fight it's even considering all the handycaps sony's got, tough i have to mention that the volume of consoles in MS side is more atractive and cost efective for developers and that's a plus to MS. well the way I see things MS is realising that sony is gainin ground on them and to be onest whith you they seem desperate.
