Everything Microsoft has this gen has been trying to replicate a playstation. Sony gets you to buy their system by adding something to it that other consoles don't have, Microsoft gets you to buy their system by taking something away from another console. Sony and nintendo are innovators. Microsoft simply does whatever is "in" at the time and makes sure that they're the only ones supplying it. If you honestly think the xbox is anywhere near the prestige of Sony and Nintendo consoles your first console most likely was an xbox. The PS3 outsold the 360 in it's first year, and it has outsold it in 2008 so far. Grabbing onto a small lead, which is the result of a year headstart with no competition, as if it proves some kind of point of superiority is rediculous. Had it been any other market where someone brags about selling more of something when they've had a year head start...even if the year the other product debuted it sold more.. they'd be called fools. But somehow logic fails to translate when you're thinking about consoles.

Every so called "victory" for the 360 has been taking something from playstation.(and by taken, I actually mean making it multiplatform). I honestly don't understand why you claim to want an xbox, but you rejoice everytime microsoft brings you closer to the experience you've had with a playstation so far. It didn't have to be this way. You could have easily just have been patient and waited for the PS3, but you HAD to have your next gen experience early, regardless of the conditions you put yourself in. Your loss, everyone else who had common sense and didn't start gaming yesterday bought a PS3 and are looking to the future and are happy about it. While, the..others are absorbing their "arguable" successes of yesteryear and preparing damage control for the(if there is one) future of their console. =/

If you want to play MGS you can just buy a PS3. No reason to want a game to be bad just because it's not on your system. Ratchet got 9+ scores on every other site EXCEPT gamespot, and for rediculous reasons. For metal gear solid fans this isn't just some tool in the console war, like 360 people looked at halo, this is a really meaningful game. Most of us have been playing it since the Ps1(some since the msx), and we could care less what you morons think of the game.
