Backwards compatibility IS a viable offering for the next gen consoles and only porting the easily coded, shitty games is beyond lame. It is too soon to bunch the PS3 into the same league as Nintendo, seeing how they too are using software emulation (like the 360) for BC. While I only have 2 of my 8 Xbox1 games won't play (Conker and Ultimate Spiderman), I sure wish they would. Regardless, I won't be buying any Xbox1 games anyways, so the point is mute.

I have to agree with LaughingMan in regards to consumers blindly assuming it is good/great/superior to other offerings. But there are also a lot more tech savvy consumers out there (a lot has changed since the 2000 release of the PS2). Sure people will buy it. They always do. But will they also buy the media that Sony so desperately needs you to buy? Probably not. Games? Sure they will it plays games after all. But so does the PSP and we know how "great" UMD movies sold. All it takes it ONE slip (Blu-ray manufacturing not up to par, further delays, anything) to cast further doubt in Sony, not only as a console manufacturer, but the company as a whole. At E3, we saw/read/watched the innovation from Nintendo and yes, Microsoft too. From the Wii to Live Anywhere, these companies showed who their consoles cater to...Gamers. Sony showed they could copy great aspects of their competition's products. Hell they even copy ideas from their own games; I am talking about the sequence attacks of God of War and the same thing in Heavenly Sword. MGS4 looks great, but show me in-game. Play the freaking thing and show me what it looks like. Don't run some pretty movie on a PC emulating your hardware. 6 months to release and you still don't have anything but developer hardware? Interesting.

"Even with all of the 360's addons I will still say in terms of power it is a far shot from the PS3"

How? In terms of RAM? GPU? CPU? Just how far ahead is the PS3 in terms of power? Is it the cell processor that no one has used in ANY electronic device to date and has yet to really prove itself? Is it the RSX that runs 50 mhz faster than the 360, but lacks the embedded DRAM and 48 way parallel floating point the 360 has? I'm confused...I keep hearing about how much more powerful the PS3 is, but no one backs it up. It's like there is this group of blind lackies that (just because Sony says so) belive the hype.

It is a Rockstar game...Table Tennis. No joke, it is freakin table tennis! Gee, can't wait...
