i dont think its "console kids," i think its 360 fanboys. when the PS3 first came out it was WELL worth the money. i mean look at what you are getting. a VERY high end B-RAY player which would costs around $300 that is also 3D, built in wifi (also in the 360 now), blue-tooth, and a VERY nice gaming console. when i dropped $600 on mine it was well worth the money. although it is not uncommon for me to drop loads of money on high end hardware, my PC is around $1300. 360 fanboys are stuck on the fact that they wont drop $600 on a "GAMING MACHINE" when it was SOOOO much more. not to mention the 360 lacks exclusives like crazy. i use my PS3 as a Bray player, and to play: MGS4 (one of the greatest games ever made
), Little big planet (i dont care if its childish it is FUN), MAG (256 FPS, need i say more), Killzone 2, resistance 2, gran turismo 5, Uncharted series, demons souls.
from the get go 360 was failure, not only can it NOT do 1080p it had no HD media format, and if you wanted it it was a $300 add on and was a failed HD-DVD format. consoles are no longer consoles today, they are more of a media hub. and what is a media hub without an HD media format such as bray.

Also to the reply about the xbox 720. remember microsoft said they wanted to keep up with sony in a 10 year plan like sony did with the PS2. they still have 5 more years. 360 potential has been maxed out from gears of war 2 (said by the creator of gears of war). Devs for the PS3, at least to my knowlage other than crytek have not said that this will MAX the PS3 out. and even then i dont think of all companies "crytek" is going to do that. its not that they are stupid and dont know how, its just that there are companies on the PS3 who have been developing longer and have WAYYY more experience with it. is it possible, sure it is, is it plausible, i dont think so.
