The PS3 will lead the market, although Microsoft will stay close for a while. The technology advantage is heavily in Sony's favor this time around. The wow-factor is a huge deal when it comes to new systems, and Sony will have all the cards in that area.

I agree. The new controller is a gimmick like the DS. It will be useful in a few games but is overall not important.

The gimmick that is outselling PSP worldwide and will have a very strong holiday season with online Mario Kart and Animal Crossing coming out.

Fanboys + better games > slightly better product.

[/ QUOTE ]

If there were that many Nintendo fanboys the Gamecube would not be in dead last. They provide some, but not the blk of sales. For that you need to appeal to the mainstream and the numbers indicate DS has succeeded in doing so. I'm not saying its the best handheld or better than the PSP, I'm just saying it is not just a gimmick and I don't believe the Revolution will be either.

Therefore, none of the things that drew in the ps2 fanbase will be there when the ps3 comes out.

Metal Gear? Seriously? Won't the 360 have that franchise, too?

They do, however, provide a higher percentage of Nintendo's sales.

I love how there is all this talk about graphics and speeds and blah blah blah.

Why not just either get both or buy the system that has your favorite games? It is really that complicated?

A) the use of the revolution controller is by moving your hand and wrist minimally... your elbow barely even moves.

B) the psp is a gimmick... faulty equipment and 95% of the games are remakes.

c)Castlevania that just came out is one of the most highly acclaimed games ever.

D) wow, you're right, didnt think about the ps1 building a fan base. However, those gamers are dedicated to a better product, and that better product was proven to be the Xbox.

Why not? Must I now like something to comment on it?

I have as much experience as I want or need. A friend of mine has one, and I've played around with it.

Unless you believe 100% of Sony's FUD this is not totally true. There is typically a solid gap between what sony claims it is going to ship and what it ships.
