But then there is one factor to be consider.........what happens if our great weapon-HALO3-sucks ass? PS fans will forever have something over the 360.

All eyes are on this game, should it fail then we are in trouble.

But hopefully the PS3 will do a dreamcast, whatever happened to the first online play machine anyway?

The launch of Halo 3 will send out a Titan ICBM with special PS3 tracing EMP codenamed: Ball-Breaker that will destroy every PS3 on the earth and all machines/personnel responsible for the PS3's production and only those machines/people. Everything else will be fine.

EDIT: The EMP will not harm your XBox or XBox 360.


he he, I know a lot of people who want revenge from sony

Nintendo is going to win the next-generation console war with the Wii, and they didn’t want anything to do with the war in the first place.

err...i saw this thing once, that said most of the consoles sony have shipped are replacements after hardwatre failures, and that the sales were actually 50m. and the ps3 and 360m have pretty much the same power because sony lied.

ok if u can buy two consoles...360 and Wii....for less than the price of one...PS3, then theres ur answer, H3 will own but not affect PS3 sales, also Wii will own because of price and new style on gaming, plus Super Smash Bros. Brawl will also own

Let's not degrade into stupid console wars on this forum. The PS3 is indeed more powerful than the 360, and it boasts several components superior to the 360. However, the most powerful console does not always win. Think about the PS2 - the XBox, GameCube and Dreamcast were all more powerful than the PS2 (at least graphically), but the PS2 slaughtered the competition. A lot of it has to do with brand loyalty, a phenomenon that has been particularly noted in the video game industry. But it also has to do with the fact the PS2 had exclusive titles that everyone wanted, something the PS3 will have to deal without.

Microsoft played this perfectly. They tricked Sony into thinking it had to be technologically superior to win the next generation. How? By constantly boasting better-looking games. The fact that Sony could not crush the XBox into oblivion had to be a blow to Sony's ego, so they decided to build the ultimate machine. The problem: it costs too much, and the 360 has a year head start. Not to mention developers have stated that it is much easier to program and develop for the 360 than it is for the PS3.

Make no mistake, the PS3 will have amazing games and look spectacular. Like I said, though, the PS3 is turning out to be more of a luxury item than a video game console.

ill never buy a sony agian my ps2 came defective i returned it the next one worked for a while then junked out got it repaired it burned discs so i got an xbox never had a problem ever not even on the 360

i see the 360 winning this round because of one word "angels decend" halo
its like nintendo it wouldnt exist anymore without mario and zelda ,playstation without grandtheft auto and gears of war and grandturismo, but heres my point, everybody i know bought the xbox for halo," thats what i bought it for ', the playstations series are being over drawn like metel gear solid way over done nintendo will be around for a while because of the younger market xbox i think will come out on top because of its graphics and price and proccessing power and xbox live is far supirior to the playstation version and playstations have gottin a name for being unreliable I know that the 360 name wasnt reliable for a while but that was because nuckle heads out there ran it in a confined space thats all been fairly well worked out, well im outtas stuff to say


and sony dosnt have the resources like microsoft sony will be getting some of their sofware from micro soft microsoft could pull some markets away from sony if they wanted microsoft has sony by the balls, marketing and funding wise

Of course, halo 3 is going to dominate, besides sony is taking a huge gamble with the ps3 moneywise.

There are good FPS comin out for the PS3 like Fall of man and alot of people support Sony

the ps3 controller is odd, i dont like not having rumble during fpses, and also i dotn want to wvae my hands around lime a maniac
Aside from your bad grammar, Sony changed the controller back to the original and decided it was necessary to put a motion sensor in it.

I did notice that Sony decided to copy Nintendo by putting a motion sensor in their controller. In my opinion, because they had to take out the rumble, Sony is going in the wrong direction with their controllers.

This isn't a matter of that can really be compared. Halo 3 is a game, the PS3 is a console. The fact of the matter is, those loyal to the Xbox and Halo will likely purchase the game and unless they have already done so, the Xbox 360. If you want to look at the two based on the console war, thats a different story.

In the end it will be cheaper to own an Xbox, games will likely cost the same between all consoles but with speculation like this :

and also this (even though its from an Xbox employee) :

It makes you wonder what will come from the three Big Guys
