Not sure this post is as objective as it is presented.

"Current games don't do it justice" is marked in the negatives section of the PS3 section. Putting that comment there is actually an excuse for its lack of software, making it a positive.

Only a cow would do that. :)

I don't own a ps3, I own a Wii.

I'm not sure I believe you, at the very least, you're a cow wannabe. ;)

I love how the 360 is "Losing exclusives" when PS3 has lost 2x as many exclusives, and not to PC mind you, PS3 lost them to 360.

I think this list is more or less fair, butcounting Halo and Gears of War as "lost exclusives" isn't really that accurate, as Gears still isn't out for the PC (meaning it's been exclusive for almost a year already), and Halo 3 probably won't be out for years on the PC (just look at Halo 2). At that speed,they might as well beexclusive, since both games will be mostly forgotten by the time they make it to the PC (besides, to hear hermits talk, they have no interest in such 360 "runoff").

Who cares? (other than you)

I stopped reading at "innovative motion controls" for the wii. There is nothing innovative about the wii's motion controllers. This type of control for games has been around for many years farrell2k

Show me a controller of the same shape as the wiimote with motion sensing, rumble, speaker and ir that was used for gaming before the Wii.

Winner.

$4 a month for xbox live shouldn't even be considered a minus.. If people can't afford that small amount then they shouldnt be playing.. Now of course if Sony's multiplayer was as good, then there would be a point.. But it most certainly is not..sSubZerOo

Some complain about it all the time.
