I'm not regarding any of this towards Nintendo. I was comparing the 360 and the PS3 because that is what most people seem to do. I'm not here saying that nobody should get a 360 because I think it has potential to become a great console. I am just meaning to say that I don't see how the 360 is any better then the PS3 in any way. They have stopped backward compatibility, requiring a $150+ add-on for next generation discs, a lackluster library (as of now), and features that don't come even with the PS3. I can't justify paying $399 for a system to play Uno.
The HD-DVD is out and Microsoft has yet to utilize it. Sony on the other hand has pushed their console back to make sure that it will be ready when Blu-Ray is. BR isn't just selling the PS3, they are selling each other. People will buy the PS3 because of Sony's name alone and that will sell Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is what they are relying on to give the games. Games and videos are in a weird market because they rely on something else to sell. They both need TVs and the main concern all comes down to HD. With dropping prices and gamers looking for the best picture, HDTVs will begin to sell and thus giving a more desirable look to the PS3.
Sony is a master at selling ideas.
