Interesting. Very interesting.

"Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" Peter Moore, a Microsoft vice president, said in an interview. "People are going to buy two (machines.) They're going to buy an Xbox and they're going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."

Good on Peter.

And it looks like Ken Lobb has done good in their offices.

But what people dont seem to understand is that the PS3 is retardedly powerful compared to a Wii, or 360.

Yes, they can buy both of those systems. But if they are looking for stunning graphics, they wont get them.

The Wii (in that sense) can barely be called Next Gen. It looks barely anything different other than ridding a few rough edges, than a Gamecube.

The 360 has made an improvement, but it's an Xbox. Xbox.

Plus nomatter what Microsoft puts out, they dont have to charge the actual cost, because they're a huge wealthy company, so if they want to make it all "lolz we shipped more dan uuuuuu" they can cut the price, because they can make the money up in Computers or software.

I wonder if people will really see the difference between 360 and PS3. Not that I've looked into the graphics, the consoles haven't interested me so far.

its hard to say at this point... graphics will probably be like that of ps2 vs xbox... but later on ps3 will have the advantage of having better versions of games just like the xbox did over ps2.


infact, the most visually good looking game actually being PLAYED that i saw, was Gears of War for Xbox360, while the PS3 game Resistance or something whatever its called was closely followed. but then agian i expected that from the engine is running on

the best looking game was MGS4 hands down, however running in real time it may have been, it just wasnt phisically being PLAYED in any of the vids i saw.

I think his extension of friendship toward Nintendo is cool. You have to remember though, if Nintendo was the leader and Sony was behind with Microsoft, Peter would've found a way to isolate Nintendo and lash out at them. That's business.
