Sounds like Sony shooting off at the mouth again.

they all shoot off at the mouth. Densie Kreiger from Nintendo makes excuses as to why they don't have enough games out for the veteran gamers. Sony says that they lead the industry although while PS3 sales aren't that much lower than 360's right now, they are far from leading the industry. MS doesn't say much and when they do, all they talk about is how much they are beating sony, so who cares. All 3 companies have their faults.

Nintendo- has caters way too much to the casual market, even with E3's announcements, the casual is still top heavy.

Microsoft-your hardware has been proclaimed by some to be maxed out, while the market place has a filesize cap on it. The arcade version of your system is crap, why do sell it, and then put out games that require a hard drive

Sony-why do you announce games that won't come out until 4 or more years later? Games like Uncharted, MAG and MGS4 might really show off your technology, but most developers aren't going to push power that much.

I can agree with that, Sony have been fantastic this gen despite a rough start.-Pred-Alien-

Agreed. While having an extremely rough start, the PS3 is really starting to shine with some great titles coming out.

this should be filed under the"boy, this oughtta shut the nerds up, now lets get back to pouring all out resources into casual trash games and goofy add-ons so we can get us some of that fat wii moneyz that falls out of the sky if you throw some crap mini game compilations together"file.

expect a similar announcement from MS soon if they have not already said this.
