[QUOTE="Orius, post: 3923428, member: 8863"] I really have no idea myself. Sony is definitely planning for the long term, that much is certain, but Microsoft I think will take advantage of short term lapses. MS seems to be the company that's most responsive to consumers at least in NA. Sony's two big advantages are that no one is playing the 360 in Japan, so Japanese developers who want a big epic game primarily for a Japanese audience will have to go with the PS3. Second, third parties really don't seem to have developed much of anything for the Wii that really seems like a must-have. Maybe if LucasArts does make that lightsaber game, we'll see more (and I can't imagine they're NOT doing it, since people have been drooling over the possibility of a game like that for a while. They'd be stupid NOT to make the game; let's hope they're not rushing it so it will ROCK) games that really taps the Wii's potential. I'm not really rooting for the PS3. Even with FFXIII, there's really nothing to convine me to want one, especially since they're dumping BC. That's one of the main features of the PS2 I like. I've read that Sony's software-based BC is pretty bad, maybe if they take it out of the console, fix up the problems on the side and offer it as a firmware upgrade for people who want it, I'd be more interested. But by the time a PS3 becomes affordable for me, it'll have no BC, and with a lack of exclusive titles, the 360 will look about as appealing, maybe more. In the meantime, I'll stick with the PS2. I finally got one earlier this year, and it just seems that it has one of the best libraries on a console, even better than the PS1. Right now, I'm happy stocking up on cheap used games, or even new games that are fairly low priced. [/QUOTE]
