reply#5 on joystiq is right, if 360 start spilling out the next-gen FF's, who'd buy a PS3 just for MGS series, not to mention how Armored Core looked better on 360 than PS3 (http://playstation3.joystiq.com/entry/1234000467068016/)

why talk about PS4 at all, is SONY already admitting PS3 being inferior to X360.  yes, i know PS3 is much stronger than X360 by the numbers, but the AC comparison article suggets that few developers have the guts to turn PS3's potential into reality.

Even so, if you consider two consoles having same potential, with one being half ass easier to program on, which would you choose as a progammer.

Now i'm freaki'n confused, should i get X360 now?  PS3 later?  or hey PS4 just a little more later, wtf

SONY BOUGHT all the fucking rights with their money from their other departments (TV's, Walkmen etc.) They invested shitloads in the original Playstation and many developers went to them because they were using CD's (Which they helped create incidentally). The loading times were shite but you could fit more stuff on them so the dev's went all schoolgirl for Sony. Plus Sony came really out of nowhere and released their console in the middle of the traditional period of calm between the then console giants SEGA and Nintendo. Sony's also had the advantage that they were 'chippable' so people could buy the console and play blootleg games. Which is going to make any console popular.

Sony don't innovate any more because they don't need to. Everyone bums Sony now so all they need do is steal ideas from others (Hard Drive from Microsoft, Control Stick from Nintendo) and stick them on their console. And the Sony drone consumers just lap it up 'Because it's SONY! ZOMG C001 l33tz!'

Makes me sick. Revolution will pwn all.
