Default Re: PS3 will have a tough time. (interim E3 review)

I'm a little disappointed at this stage. I was pumped for PS3 until I sat through that pedantic conference. Sony made the mistake of bombarding us with too many numbers, statistics and crowded power point slides. Nintendo, on the other hand, knows how to put on a show. Regardless of whether you agree with one company's philosophy or the other, Nintendo made a better presentation in and of itself. My purchase of a PS3 was originally a sure thing, but now I'm not so sure. Do I really want to pay $600 plus cost of games and peripherals? Do I want to play RE5 that badly? Even bigtime Sony fans are wavering on their purchasing plans.

I'm already sold on the Wii. I think there's a good chance it will reproduce the 'wow' feeling of SM64. Both systems will be coming out about the same time which creates a double-hit on the wallet. I guess I'll just have to see where I am financially and time-wise come November.
