I have to say that we need competition between the majors, because, in the end, we as consumers are the winners. Better games. Wider selection. More innovation. I've cast my lot with PS3 and am frustrated (like many) due to the lack of quality games 1 year after release. Still, seeing my friends twisting in the wind with their XBoxes off to be repaired is no fun for anyone who's a true gamer.

The only way PS3 comes close to having the same install base the XBox360 has is a true drop into the abyss by Microsoft. And while I don't see it happening, I think their rushing the system to market is biting them in the rump quite hard at the moment.

Again, I think we need competition to get the best games possible.

(Look at EA's Madden performance since they stopped getting pushed by the 2K franchise!)

What do you guys think?

I love the fact that the 360's games are so good. I makes Sony have to work that much harder to earn my money.

The biggest weakness of the 360 is most games eventually get ported to the PC and it has reliability issues. The biggest weakness of the Wii is it has fewer really good games than the other two and worse graphics. The biggest weakness of the PS3 is its expensive. The PS3 has always been the best system this generation unfortunately its price has always held it back. People don't want a system for its Hardrive space. That is trivial but unfortunately it seems like an extra 20 Gigabytes will cost you $100 on the PS3! Why doesn't Sony rerelease the 40GB PS3 and lower the price to $400? That would be the best move they could make right now.

i always thought that competition was good. i doubt that Sony would have even created the PSN if it wasn't for the success of XBL, and MS would have not gone money crazy when it came to buying exclusives if Sony wasn't snatching them all up on the PS2 for free due to their large userbase.

MS and Sony are pushing each other to be the best... and the one who wins are the gamers who buy those systems. :)
