40% of the industry isn't ready? The Wii comes with 512megs of storage (with the ability to use SD cards up to 32GB) and the 360 shipped LOTS of units with no storage. Somehow I think a lot more than 40% of the industry isn't ready.

To add to this - the GPU on the 360 has a "daughter die" that handles anti-aliasing. Thanks to this daughter die and its 10mb of super fast memory the 360 is able to do anti-aliasing with absolutely no performance loss. This is why games like Arkham Asylum have more aliasing on the PS3 than the 360.

Stop!! PLEASE, STOP!

Are you kidding?

Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted 2
Forza 3
Brutal Legend
Borderlands

Am I missing anything else in October? It's a good thing Nintendo has nothing coming out or my wallet would be in REAL trouble.

Let's be fair, the 360 only has a handful of games PS3 owners would want. The vast majority of games are on both systems.

OK, three things.

1) Isn't this a bit like Apple saying OSX could never run on a Dell? It might be true, but it's probably not. Either way, it's pure marketing.

2) I think it's strange that Sony pushed Haze and Lair so heavily in that first year even though they had Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank sitting around; still two of the best looking games on the PS3.

3) Killzone 2 is so far the best looking game this generation on a technical level. On an artistic level it's terrible. Hopefully Uncharted 2 will change that by being technically AND artistically great, something I thought Fable II did very, very well on the 360.

Comparing the memory on the two systems is worthless. They both suffer from not enough. What's more interesting to look at is the CPU and GPU. The PS3 has a more powerful CPU, but it's also much more difficult to program for. The 360 has a more powerful GPU (partially because the design allows Anti Aliasing without losing any performance).

So which one is "more powerful?" Probably the PS3, but it's also more difficult to program for. If the PS3 is 20% more powerful, but developers are only able to utilize 80% of the total power then what's the real difference between the two consoles?

I know it doesn't feel like it, but we're pretty far into this console cycle; probably halfway. So far the 360 has generally had better graphics, especially with the third party developers. I think third party games will still look better on the 360, because of the "free" FSAA, for the remaining years of this cycle, while first party AAA will start looking better on the PS3 (starting this year with Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2).

Stop arguing about this nonsense and just go buy the system you don't already own. Play third party games on the system for which you are a fanboy while secretly playing the exclusives on the other system with your door locked and blinds closed. I won't tell anybody, I promise. Hell, I won't even care.

What would it cost to induce a coma for 165 days?

The Dead Space/Killzone joke was from a podcast. "Dead Space" and "Killzone" might be confused because they literally mean the same thing. Similar to a game named "Death Region" or "Slaughter Spot."

I'm just glad you didn't nail me on the Macroeconomic comment when you were clearly in Microeconomic territory. Either way, I was just messing with you.
