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

I could believe it sold 53 million, but it's still in last place compared to PS2 and Xbox.  I was hoping it would bring in NES and SNES levels of popularity, but that was idealistic delusion on my part.  Saying it's a step up from N64 doesn't mean much either.
