Hardware will not win a console war!

I keep seeingalot of peopleposting the PS3 will win because it's superior hardware/graphics.Then how come the SegaDreamcast orX-box didn't win the last generation? They both where capable of better graphics than the PS2. IMO> exclusive games are what made the PS2 the #1 seller last gen. Mostly from GTA III, VC, SA.I don't think thisgen isanydifferent than the last in this regard.So, what are your opinions?

You are so right about that... console supremecy will be a combination of AAA software titles and great, reliableonline gaming experiences... all of the presently available consoles have their respective merits, and they're all great in their own ways, but at the end of the day, it's gonna come down to who has the really solid, stellar, creative games that the people want to play...

Don't try to change the rules. The Wii is winning. Get over it.Cedmln

No, TC is right to an extent, it wasn't sales that won it for PS2, it was the most exclusive good games in combination with sales, if Wii sells 500 million units and somehow has very few AAA exclusives, it still sucks.

Too bad the majority of PS2 games were just as goodand alot evenlookedbetter/played betterthan Xbox games.

Those who claim Ps3 is superior because of it's hardware are diluted, just ignore them.

Errrrm, the dreamcast was weaker than the PS2 :| gingerdivid

Well I'm guessing the TC also thinks the freamcast controller was t3h best controller ever *remembers hand cramp after playing shenmue*

Even the Atari 2600, when launched was considerably weaker than home computers (at a time when consoles and PC's were still considered to be in the same competetive market) but it proved to be massivley popular, andmost would credit it with giving birth to proper home games consoles.

The 360 peripherals available can also make it as powerful as the PS3 (depending on how you view the HD format war)which brings its price inline with the PS3 (further evidence of equality,but still at a profit for MS), again making it equal in my eyes. If you further include its connectivity features with reguards to windows I'd say its a better package, but at the end of the day this means absolutley jack without the best SOFTWARE!

Software wise, both have pros and cons.PS3 hassuperior sound processing andmore onboardfeatures (web access, linux etc.) andis betterat playing HD content from disc. 360 on the other handhas a more economic and friendlier programming environment, uses less power for its OS which has more features (XBL)and is better able to utilise media connectivity (MSN, media player connection). As for games, thats down to devs and only the future has the answers.

I agree with the TC's sentiments.
