The poster also had some interesting thoughts on Xbox 360 which, despite a full 12 months with the new generation consoles market to itself, has been unable to build an unbridgeable lead: "360 has plenty of games which is a plus.... but theyre mostly remakes of xbox games with new lighting and bigger textures." The parallels between the Nintendo and Sony new generation consoles war and a title fight seem appropriate. Sony, the reigning champ for the past 10 years in the home consoles space, has put forward a lumbering heavyweight in the PS3. Nintendo, challenging to regain its long lost mantle, has put forward a sprightly middleweight with an innovative new armoury of blows in the Wii. Naturally, in the early rounds the middleweight is going to duck and weave and outjab and inflict some damage on the heavyweight. However, there is still a doubt as to whether the middleweight has enough firepower to go the distance with the heavyweight. That said, the heavyweight has yet to land a telling blow. Come March, if the heavyweight is still struggling, and the middleweight has some more tricks up its sleeve, we may see an upset. {moscomment} |
