Tony I have had one 360. If you are referring to the bricking of 360s, im not worried microsoft extended everyones warrantees. 360 has better games, online, service, and hardcore gamers support.

Man, I love that term. I have no idea what it exactly means... but I still love it

Edit: My son just told me it means that people who prefer the XBox 360 are more into heli-snowboarding, where as PS3 owners like myself still ski. I think this 11 year old is just pullin' my leg!

Im just trying to say the 360 has captured the hardcore/older gamers, the wii has captured the casual/young gamers, the ps3 does not really have an identity other than the blu-ray player. Its pretty pathetic that the ps2 sells more games than the ps3.

Dundeon Master and Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes Back, it had a first person perspective but it was not a shooter. My first FPS was DOOM and DOOM II. Great games.

I'm going to guess it's because the PS2 is further along in its adoption curve than the PS3 is. I assume this because the 2 is less than 3, making me assume the PS2 came first, and also that the Walmart throwaway bins are stacked with $5 PS2 games, where as the PS3 games are kept behind glass cases here and cost like nearly 10 times more. I'm not a gaming expert by any means... but I can consult the kids for confirmation...

Skyhawk,
Then i assume a year after the 360 the original xbox games were outselling 360? Um no. The games on the ps2 are new ones like madden and gh2 that cost 40 bucks or more. Its even worse in Japan where developers are still making ps2 games and not even touching the ps3.

richiro33, are you in Japan? I really enjoyed my stays there BTW. Kyushu is really neat, with a ferry service to Korea (although I never took it). I didn't like Tokyo much, but I'm not one for big cities.
