The GPU issues on the PS3 don't change it's elegance or professional sheen, it's lack of back compatibility does!

Though it is nice to see someone here righting understanding, aka hammer, of someone's incorrect belief, aka MikeB, on that aspect of the console and games.

The lack of Blu-Ray/Cell Processor does not relegate the XBox 360 to a lesser console, it's criminal failure rate does!

Hopefully the reduction of failures as the issue has been fixed in successive generations and extensions of warranties to best ensure the consumer will see the 'criminal failure' is actively being addressed.

BTW -- Yes the SD Wii is rocking the HD consoles worlds. I suspect it will remain this way as economies are down and likely into the time when the 8th generation are released. It's always good to see a competitive market. Clearly Nintendo moved from near last on last gen to first on this gen. Clearly Microsoft moved from near last if not last on last gen to a stronger position this gen. Clearly Sony has moved from 1st on last gen to last on this gen. I think it's all good for consumers.

Why don't people just choose a console that has the games they want to play, features they need (HD graphics/SD graphics, DVD/Blu-Ray) and budget to fit? All this tech bumf doesn't make any difference! Killzone will never be on the XBox and downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV will never be available for the PS3. The Wii is for the fad chasers and casual/party gamers, but some people want a fun casual experience for the family/party situation!! I'd prefer to play on the Sony Eyetoy really unless a good Light Saber game is ever made (not holding my breath as Lucasarts are now workshy morons)!

The Wii is woefully underpowered and last gen technology, but gimmicks sell- GO FIGURE!!!

The trigger for my comments was MikeB's "Well the PS3 has already demonstrated the console go well beyond what the 360 can do technically."

If MikeB wants to talk technical then he should be open for the responses.
