I am sick of Sony Fanboys!

No, this isn't exactly a new topic or idea, but good god, it seems like the closer we get to the PS3's release, the more Sony Fanboys come out and talk unwarranted smack about how "great" the PS3 is going to be, especially against the 360. First of all, let me say that we don't know exactly how the PS3 will be because it's not out yet! All of the speculation about how powerful it will be or how great games will look is total BS. The processor cores need to be utilized properly for it to use it's full potential. Anyone with a dual-core PC processor knows that having more cores helps, but not that much unless the game was written multi-threaded. And remember, the "9 cores" the PS3 supposedly has is only 7, since one core controls the other cores and another is used for back-up in case one breaks. Wait a minute - is Sony expecting one core to fail? What happens when 2 cores go down? This could be an issue...
Now, about games. Everyone says that the PS3 is going to have better games and  more power. Since I've addressed the power area, let me comment on the other major aspect of most Sony Fanboy banter, games. The PS3 took a big hit when GTA4 was announced to be released on both 360 and PS3 the same day. Now the only major franchises left for PS3 are Grand Turismo and Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. Well I never really liked racing games, but I know a lot of people do, however, now that the 360 is getting Forza Motorsport 2 and Microsoft seems serious about it, my guess is more people will be swayed to go to the 360. I don't know of any equivalents to MGS or FF, but if you look at the major releases for consoles, there are 2 big things right now - either games are being made for both PC and 360 exclusively, or games are being released on all platforms simultaniously. This will hurt PS3's supposedly "great" library of games.

There, I just debunked 2 major PS3 Fanboy rants. I know it's not out yet so some of my points may not be correct, but I feel that I have given the situation a good analysis. Oh, and the PS3 costs how much? And there only going to have how many? No, I can't really see why I'd want to only spend $400 for a premium 360 when I know I can actually get one in the next 6 months and will have $200 extra to buy great games like Gears of War or Dead Rising or play on Live, the best matchmaking service in existence right now. The one thing I will give to the Sony Fanboys is that they seem to take everything in stride. They aren't flustered by the $600 price tag, or the measly 400,000 unit launch (worldwide), or the $60 for first party games. I strongly encourage any Sony Fanboy that reads this to comment on how their logic works, because it seems to me that it doesn't.
