I am so sick, sick and tired of hearing people say, "Give Sony time. Xbox has been out a year".

Excuse me, Sony had 1 year to prepare and come out swinging. Instead they came out with a loud mouth and literally nothing to show for it. I have the ps3 with 2 games, 1 good and 1 that is the biggest gaming disappointment I have ever had in motorstorm (not to mention my system has been discontinued).

But if you wait it will come. What is this, field of dreams?

Please stop with the "give them time crap".These aremajor corporations and not some high school kid trying to catch a break.

If you are a real gamer, and fair minded, and enjoy playing games then you would know that the 360 has had games for well over 1 year. They got better and better and better. Please don't sit here and say the 360 doesn't have games if you have not played a good portion of them, or you do not own a 360 and have never used it.

Sony looks to have a good line-up for 07 (mostly multiplat); however, so does MS at a cheaper price point. Sony has done some of the strangest things this time around by now discontinuing 2 consoles in less than 8 months. Do consumers even bother to buy the 80 gig in August? Since Sony will drop the price at some point why even bother buying the system in the 1st place?

Lastly, I am also so sick of some people saying the 360 cost nearly the same as the ps3. No it doesn't. The closest is the elite now. However, the HD DVD add on is not wanted by consumers who have chosen to use their gaming console to play games. WOW, what a concept! The add-on has sold just about 200,000 units and the 360 has sold 11.6M systems.

That says that consumers do not care for HD movies and thus they find no need to have it included in their gaming console.

Remember facts speak more than anything and the fact remains, the ps3 is in last for a reason, poor management, poor marketing, and an attitude that you will buy the ps3 even if there is literally nothing to play on it but bluray movies since gaming has been forgotten by Sony thus far.

Don't talk about it Sony, be about it!

But that's not all!

Community to Microsoft; fix that box and stop hiding and pretending that everything is copastatic.

It isn't, not even close. I (and I hate to say this) am now on my third 360. My very first one was a launch system that died due to hardware failure in Jan. of this year. No big deal I thought as I had purchased the PRP from best buy and simply returned it and they gave me a new one. Well 3 weeks later the new one gave me a disc read error on every single disc. So I had to return the system to MS who repaired it and sent it back to me. Well the elite came out in April and I decided to replace mine for the Elite for the use of the bigger hard drive and the HDMI output. So far so good, however, with all the news of 3 year warranties and MS finding issues with their design, I am now worried the system will die on me while playing 1 of 13 games I plan to purchase on the system over the holiday timeframe. I would hate to be jamming while playing Rock Band online and find that I have incurred complete hardware failure and will then be out of my system for one week.

Final verdict; MS recall the 360 and repair them to be up to code with the so called redesign happening this fall. I enjoy gaming and I do not enjoy sitting on edge while playing because I fear that at any moment the system will crash.

Nintendo, I won't even waste my time with a response.

This generation of gaming is like riding a psychotic horse into a burning building.

Looks like since this blig the 360 has came back strong with the games we enjoy, fix the issues with overheating (at least covered everyone for 3 years) and has taken back the lead.

Sony (with 5 different skus that is more confusing to consumers) has completely messed everything up. over 5 million sold worldwide with less than 2 million in the u.s is a joke. Better luck next year but remember sony, we are gamers, not bluray movie fans and thus bring the games already!
