It’s really too bad Microsoft decided to go full Fisherprice-mode on the new Xbox 360 because I’m a big fan of the original Xbox. Looks like the Playstation 3 is going to blow it away. Not only in specs — can’t imagine them going for anything lower than the Xbox 360 when they’re releasing later — but also in design.
The Playstation 3 looks like a sophisticated addition to my home theater, the Xbox 360 looks like it should go on the floor in a kid’s room next to the fire truck shaped bunk beds and Mickey Mouse television.
I have to say, once this new round of systems rolls out I might find myself switching back to Sony, which is good. I’m forced into the Xbox right now since the current Xbox is just better than the PS2.
Playstation 3 > Xbox 360

Heh, so true. Though I keep having this weird thought that maybe they’ll kind of fit together when you stack one on top of the other: the Xbox 360 being concave and the PS3 being convex… but that’s just my crazy mind.
The PS3 is certainly more impressive specs-wise. Looking at about 2x the floating point power, which is a HUGE lead and good for us programmers :) Though overall graphics quality will probably be about the same, and it’s also a more complicated system (not good for us programmers).
My money’s on Sony. I should probably start saving now so I can actually afford to get one when it comes out……. :)
