It'll have a year's worth of releases, and if rumors are to be believed, it will cost half of what the PS3 costs. Even if the PS3 drops $100 a year later, it'll still be second place to the 360.The PS3 will take second place outside of Japan. There is no way Sony can remain on top. They have WAY too much going against them.Also of note, one of the things going against them are the developers themselves. John Carmack (the creater of Doom) was recently interviewed on G4. He basically said that the Cell chip was a nightmare to program for, and developers were only going to work on it because Sony was trying to strong-arm them with their brand name. He said that while the PS3 has more potential power than the 360, it is so hard to program for, developers will never try to push it to its limits.Of course, this is just one man's opinions, but Carmack is a verteran of the industry and a genius to boot. In addition to that, a few moments earlier, they had CliffyB on, the guy in charge of Gears of War and a major player at Epic. He came out and said, in not so many words, that even though they were using both systems, he too preffered the 360.Now, on top of that, IGN reports a rumor that the 360 might get Metal Gear.</blockquote>
