I don't care if the Wii is a runaway success, because it doesn't have the kind of software I'm interested in. The race I'm interested in is between the PS3 and the 360, because they attract similar developers and similar games. But I don’t care about the Wii.

Last year was just a early launch forced by MS early 360 launch. The interesting fact is that MS completely screwed their early launch, delivering a console with major hardware problems like no other consoles before. I have no idea how they're getting away with it, maybe because it's MS and people have long been accustomed to major issues in MS products? The PS3 only truly launches this christmas.

Most educated people know you don't compare systems by 3rd party titles, but first party.

If you include EU and AUS then PS3 has been keeping pace since March. but still cherry picking. I think the real story is PS3 was only 11k behind in US to a console that costs $100 & $200 less. EU numbers are generally stronger for PS3, with UK being the main exception. Number are harder to get since each country there does their own charts. I don't think either console will gain critical mass acceptance till they are within the $200 range. Sony has a better chance of reducing costs faster since they own their own chips and fabs to make them, when production ramp up and components are shrank production goes down. MS has to re-negotiate with several component suppliers and manufactures to get production down. But one loop-hole here is MS is willing to subsidize heavier where Sony's trying to break even before cutting prices. Kinda reaching to including JP with US only for July.

GRAW2 of PS3 has some FPS issues. Hence a low rating from IGN. But when do we see PS3 graphics surpasses X360?
