Ahahahahahahahah. Pro Evo 6 isn't exclusive, FF isn't that good anymore and an exclusive game by the maker of FF is to be on hte 360. (It has a trailer but I can't remember what it's called)
So yeah.

FF on the X-Box? Oh man... that was always my No.1 argument in the "Exclusice to Sony games are rubbish" argument. And CC doesn't count...
I'll have to stick with the fact that the Blu-ray format has the potential for bigger gamers than the DVD, and my Metal Gear trump card. FF may be lost tomother formats, but I can still hope that MGS remains a Sony priority.
And btw, the PS3 should cost around £400...and it's been rumoured that this is gonna be a FIXED price. Even so, I reckon PS3 will be just as (if not MORE) successful than the PS2.
They're all great. I mentioned both J&D and R&C because even though they're looked at as platformers, one of them isn't - Ratchet and Clank, they decided to concentrate more on the shooting in the next game which is a good idea because the shooting in R&C3 was so much fun and personally I thought it was more of a shoot-em-up rather than a platformer.
The Xbox does have better exclusives imo, but I haven't played one decent platformer on the Xbox yet.
Basically, if the Sony leave the release date for the PS3 too long i'll forget about it because im not willing to wait a year for the PS3 and then another year for it to go down to a reasonable price. So, i'll give Sony a couple more months to announce a European release date and if they dont I start to think about going for a 360 instead.
Speaking of the discs - what the hell were they thinking with that black coating !? Thin air could scratch them ! Not to mention that every bit of dust in the house seemed to attract to them as soon as you took them out the box.
And Luke - Final Fantasy is going to be on the 360 now and Pro Evo is already on the XBox format (and is also coming out on 360). MGS tends to make a delayed appearance, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that on the 360, which leaves Killzone - hardly a game to brag about.
And as for "sub-average" games, do you actuially know what games are planned? Shall I help you out with a few? Metal Gear Solid 4, Pro Evo 6, Some form of Final Fantasy game, Killzone 2 etc etc.
I don't think MS has a CHANCE of beating Sony, especally since the PS2 is still bestselling console despite the fact MS and Nintendo worked on their consoles for an extra year before releasing them.
Sony are good enough to make their consoles last. While the X-box 360 is on sale, Sony will still be raking in millions from PS2's. Do you think X-box would be able to survive another year if the PS3 was coming out first? I personally doubt it.
Btw I still back the 360 but Sony will win as it still has that fanbase to yobs chavs and many others.

Well I'm pretty sure they haven't officially announced it being released yet. So there's pretty much no chance it'll be in the next 6 months. And I couldn't see it being released until later next year in Europe.
And only MGS3 actually interests me. I could be wrong. But I've always preffered Microsoft exclusives to Sony's.
And i've seen plenty of articles examining the specs of the two consoles and most seem to say they're pretty much evenly matched.
And it's most certainly going to be more expensive with that Blu-Ray Drive in it. If not, Sony are going to lose millions, which would be silly.
And Sony have yet to make a console that hasn't been plagued with errors. I don't see why this should break the trend.
rawr rawr rawr.
Looks naff too.

Because I have an opinion. Damn me!

These seemed pretty valid points. Afraid your precious Sony company might not be so dominant this time round? :(
Wanna hug? :(

You don't know that for sure, you don't know that for sure, you don't know that for sure and you don't know that for sure.
