OK. I know this looks like trouble. Sorry. I just wanted to get some reasonable responses regarding what the inherent advantages that the Xbox 360 vs the PS3 are. I've put some down to get started.
Of course, neither has been officially announced, but that will change soon enough. We will also find out some new facts which can shift the balance in one or the others favor (Exclusives, new tech, new features, etc), so this is clearly just a first blush.
We are hearing so much about how it's obvious that one of the two will happen, when it's not clear to me at all that either are true. And people seem to jump onto one side or another without giving any logical reasoning.
1) PS3 will crush Xbox360 (this gen proves it)
2) Xbox will overtake Sony, because of [X = Madden, year head start, bleed Sony to death, etc]
NOTE: None of my points are facts as we have no facts (well some people do, but most of us don't , so feel free to provide your own listing as opposed to blasting me for my opinion. I'm honestly interested in hearing some REAL discussion as to why you think either the PS3 or Xbox360 look to have the advantage (as of now).
