It is? What has MS or Nintendo done differently now then they did in
the past. Nothing. That's right.
360 is still a Halo and Xbox Live machine, Nintendo is still falling
behind the pack while trying new ideas, and PS3 is still an RPG and MGS
machine. Only difference is that PS3 is trying to include and charge a
lot more then you would usually get with a console. This may be their
only mistake... time will tell.

That doesn't matter. Never has, never will. If the product is good,
people will buy. If not, then they won't.

I heard when PS3 drops a hundred dollars Microsoft is going to petetion
the government to raise interest rates and print more currency
therefore raising inflation and negating the savings.

This is true. But PS3 isn't marketing itself that way this time around.
Either is the 360. "Our little baby's all growns up. 'Cause you're
growns up and you're growns up and you're growns up".
You want a console for around $200, get a Wii.

This maybe the only truely scary thing about this console generation.
If you thought multi-platform was running rampant last gen, then you
ain't seen nothing yet. In fact the only real difference between a 360
and a PS3 might be PS3's extra features, since both consoles will have
around 95% of the same games.
