Jake,

You made some valid points and I forgot and won Oblivion :) but I am certainly not in alliance with Sony (just with entertainment) and Playground Namecalling does not alter that.

I finished Gears but am no 'expert' and dont wish to be one either! I am not motivated by it.

You maybe right about Viva but the last time I spent so long with some worms, A patch of grass, a spade, rake, seeds and a watering can....

My comments were not meant to be read as argumentative, only showing a different perspective, A perspective that possibly a huge number of other potential customers may have also.

Take Sheppy's wishlist (his post and the flames that followed are on prev page) to see what I mean.

People like him, sat on the fence waiting to see something like ICO/Shadow of the Colossus etc to give them a reason to buy a console, and with a potential 100m customers up for grabs, I am sure theres a lot more like him sat around.

I am not be one of the 6 million people interested buying Halo 3 yet I was one of the 40 Million who got Super mario, 11 Million who got GTA and 10 Million who got Gran Turismo and and speaking of which, thanks for reminding me of Forza.

That should help for a long long time though and if GT5 is good enough, I'll get a PS3 for it :)

I got tired of FPS some 8 years ago, and have been playing games for 20 years now and no longer look foward to only "how satisfying the guns are" and (insert some colorful 'strategy' bs here)

I also find playing them on a console is like playing Paintball in a wheelchair.

A "hardcore" gamer however, thinks thats all wrong, he has an old CRT TV and an Xbox360 (with headset to scream his frustration at the player who keeps killing him) and thinks 'Gears of War' is a masterpiece and the Holy Grail of games. i.e if the latest PS3 or WII games look worse than Gears, its crap and if the game looks colorful and has no headshots, its for Kids or 'Gay' people...

I, however bought a 360 and a year later have only one good racing game, the most laughable RPG ever to surface for any console, no decent platformers, no innovative titles, no new Japanese game concepts, Gears of War (!) and a Gardening simulator.

My PS2 has never been so good and in the modern age of quick-fix eye candy being better than quality, story driven and emotive titles, never entertained so much with such a diverse back catalogue.

and this difference of $$$ between these new machines may only be 2 or 3 games in reality (they cost the real money, not the consoles) and don't last as long...

This is a launch title for the PS3 as it was for the 360. Developers had the respective hardware to adapt the code for on each machine as long as the other in reality. That said, both are very alike but in this case the PS3, (as the programmers themselves have stated) is superior.... and that makes a change.
