K1LLSWITCH, you have to be kidding, right? "Yes the 360 is a good console, but I don't consider it next-gen. To me next-gen means a total upgrade from it's predecessors. The only upgrade that I see is a graphical upgrade and more RAM. " Didn't you just describe the difference between a PS1 & PS2? The XBox360 also has built-in WiFi & wireless support, better dashboard design, and is designed from the outset to be the first console with true online integration...but I guess that doesn't qualify as next generation in your book because it would mean complementing a company other then Sony, right? Oh, and your other comment: "Shortly after the Xbox 360 launched Microsoft was making claims that their going to be #1 in this console war and they're not. The PS2 still outsells the 360." Once again, huh? PS2 is definitely outselling the 360...just like the NES outsold the Genesis originally & the SNES outsold the PSX for awhile. When you have a cheaper established console on the market with more known games then the new console then GUESS WHICH ONE WILL SELL MORE?!?! I am sure that even with these launch issues that Sony will eventually be #1 in this generation but it is looking much more possible for Microsoft to actually make good on its claim. If you want to defend Sony then go ahead and do so but actually make well informed arguments rather then using red herrings & half truths.
