If the PS3 will be so outdated in 10 years (or however long), and it will, think of the 360, which doesn't even have room to develop. They can't even tell people (i.e. me) with the original premiums to get a better HD or something because we won't.
I thought PS3 would be slightly better TBH, I think its a bit of a pain sometimes, what with the lack of Ipod support (all of my music is in aac or m4a not mp3) but apart from that I think its pretty good.
I think the PS3 is onto a winner with the bluray player, although given the choice, i watch blurays on the PC because my monitor has a better res and I have a better sound system.
The console is still a better thing to have if you have enough friends who come round.
Another thought I had is that even after 9 years, I still play the PS2 (or at least PS2 games) as well as 15 year old PS1 games, despite the graphics because they are great games.
I'll be the first to admit that I snubbed the wii on the lack of graphical power, but I can see the point at 1am in the JCR, while drunk playing Mariocart. I think that concept applies with all consoles, and can't be applied nearly as easily with the PC.
I think that now the PS3 has got into its stride it will make money for sony as well as bring a bluray player into every front room, whereas MS will have to work harder and harder to keep games on 1 DVD and not force people to install the games, which for me would be impossible on the 360.
