Now if you wanted to know about the popularity of Broccoli over Butternut squash, they'd be the guys to ask.

Oviosly you play games on the inferior X360 that certainly has a ton of cheap dime store games over DLC, but still only has Gears to show for any real decent EXCLUSIVE Content. While PS3 we have Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Uncharted and all the same multi-platform games. Plus there is no game on 360 or PC that can touch the (demo no less) GT-5 Prologue. Both HAZE and MGS4 have no comparable on 360. Neither does Little Big Planet and the only in game footage of Crysis running on a console is on PS3. Due to release this year! ....where did any X360 version go? Probably same place as HAZE, EXCLUSIVE!!! ;) Does the X360 even have one game that can compare to FFXIII or White Knight Story? How about WarDevil? ....plus don't forget Resistance 2 or course don't leave out Killzone 2. You know the game that is running DX10 features with Deferred Rendering and 4X MSAA! Before Sony and Nvidia drop the bomb, you people need to consider that both API driver sets for X360 and PS3 are locked to next gen hardware. That being of course DX10 and OpenGL ES 2.0 which is nothing like OpenGL 2.0 (full). OpenGL ES 2.0 was designed by engineers that included those from Nvidia and Sony for future Next Gen Embedded Devices. Including PowerVR SGX (DX10 comparable feature set including Shader Model 4.0) to run the Cell Phone or Mobile PC you buy tomorrow. But along with that it was designed with the PS3 in Mind from the start and indeed before it was final RSX was deemed OpenGL ES 2.0 Compliant. It is now being integrated with the DX10 features for PS3 and Cell Phones (including a new Sony Ericson PSP Phone with an Nvidia 2500 Mobile GPU and 720P display! :D @Utero

Microsoft are putting together their own OVER PRICED BUNDLE! So how much are you will to fork over for an Arcade 360, Halo 3 and GTA4? ...or how about an Elite 360 with these two games? Now keep your crying quiet about PS3 prices, cuz you'll be paying near $700 for an Elite, Halo 3 and GTA4!!! .....now tell that ain't a ripoff! ;) NO WIRELESS, NO BLURAY PLAYER, and other such niceties that come standard on a PS3. Then tell me who will sell the most GTA4 Bundles, Sony PS3 or M$ Xbox 360??? :D !!! Well since Rockstar stiffed Xbox 360 on a special price for the game in a bundle package.
