Looks like a gimmick to me. It will be fun but gaming is always better with a standard controller (imho).

If this develops as it should then I won't need a Wii anymore. Xbox360 has already covered what the PSOne and PS2 were good at, now just Nintendo to take over. Tall task but can be done.

As it is Nintendo and Microsoft are vying for place at the top, and Sony are a way back in the distance. Sorry Sony heads, I know it's hard to take, I've been there when I had the Sega Saturn and had to defend it against PlayStation kids, but I learnt to bite the bullet and buy the PlayStation.

"Tell yourself the PS3 has superior graphics if it makes you feel better, but a $400 console with a mediocre game library simply cannot compete against an Xbox 360 priced at $200 with a far stronger games library." - Satoru Iwata, Head of Nintendo.

Sorry if this all seems a little OTT, I'm just trying to get it through to some people who bizarrely seem to think the PS3 is ahead in any way.

So basically you cant do half the moves your character could normally do? If you play Teken how will you do all the spinning kicks and such??

I'd be more than happy to accept that the Xbox has strenghts and the playstation has its strengths but since your going to carry on with your deluded idea that the xbox is superior in every single way to the ps3, ill keep arguing, got any other little points?

End of 2010 at the earliest, a long time after Sont and Nintendo get their systems out.

Sony and Nintendo said nothing at E3 regarding new consoles. If they had consoles coming out in 2010 they would've discussed it at E3 2008, if not 2007. :wozza:

It's not deluded though. I'm sending you links to OTHER people (who know a lot more about all this than you or me) saying exactly the same. The PS3 IS a sinking ship. I didn't say it's superior in every single way.

I'm just saying I honestly know how you all feel, because I had to defend the Saturn against PS users, but like I said I eventually accepted it and moved to the PlayStation, which was a far superior machine. So you can see there is no Microsoft bias in me at all. (I'm a Mac user!)

How can you call it a sinking ship when its got more games, more technology, more users and is cheaper than its ever been before, this console has a 10 year life cycle and it will see that through, Microsoft buy up franchises to produce a couple of exclusives, sony buy up studios to produce more new exciting exclusives for the long term, brilliant examples God of War III, Uncharted 2, MAG

I'm not the one calling it a sinking ship! That's the whole point. You're just going on your own word whereas I'm quoting people who are much more in the know than me or you, neutral people as well.

More games? That's just incorrect.
More technology? Don't even know what you mean there. Xbox360 comes out on top in graphics tests and framerate tests. Look them up. There's plenty around.
Cheaper? Still way more expensive than two superior consoles.
Sony is losing it's exclusives. I used to be jealous of the PS3 due to Gran Turismo, MGS, Final Fantasy and Tekken. They are ALL coming to Xbox now. Meanwhile Xbox360 has only lost Bioshock (brilliant game).

Sony has some good games but if you go to Movie Reviews, Music Reviews, TV Show Reviews, Game Reviews, Book Reviews - Metacritic.com you'll see Xbox360 is considered by consensus (ie all reviews) to have a stronger line up. Xbox360 has 20 games with an average rating of over 90. PS3 has 12.

Agreed. Don't forget GTA- huge loss for PS3. In fact I believe the most recent GTA was developed more for the xbox as it has the superior graphics, although that could just be a myth I heard
