It's like three runners are in a marathon race. One starts before everyone else. The other two runners start much later. One runs down the runner that started earlier pretty quickly. The other runner hasn't run down the one that started before everyone else. However, his time to each mile marker is faster than the runner that started before everyone. Why would someone try to say the runner behind is slower than the other two?

Well i just don't think there is the virtual race you refer to. Whether the 360 started first or not doesnt change the fact that it has a bigger user base, and the Ps3 will only catch up (if it ever does) when the sticker prices are more competetive. But that is just what the average , non forum consumer looks at. Plus being that more people have the 360, there will inevitably be more people selling the 360 that have a 360, therefore, have a larger salesman base for influence. the PS3 will have the occasional spike here and there giving the illusion to catching up, but I think that is years away if ever. Fine by me though. keeps the servers less bogged down with a lower install base


On top of it, lets face it...The 360 has a larger games library. Even though my 13yo knows the PS3 is a powerhouse, there are more games on the 360 for him to play.

Personally I won't play games on the 360, and I will only play them on the PS3 at this stasge if the games have trophy support (stupid isnt it) but I find it adds something for me to be able to see as acomplishments. If you wonder why my mind is set for that stupid reason look at my signature and you might sorta understand a little (you would have to be able to read into that to understand my cryptic comment)

EDIT: GAWD I type too much. But I have been wanting to comment on this sort of thing for a while, even though I know that people will still not care about what I say, their mind is set on what it wants, and that is fine by me
