I would be going ballistic if that happened to me!
But i don't agree i think the 360 is not that good compared to PS3, the only thing the 360 has on the PS3 is the price and the fact that it came out first. Graphics are better on the PS3 and obviously the controllers etc.
Sounds like you haven't actually played one. ;)
The GFX are marginally better in the odd spot in a couple of games, but unless you're a complete GFX whore you wouldn't even notice. The rest of the games are direct ports from the 360 and are identical. ;)
The
only thing the PS3 has going for it currently is that it's a cheap BlueRay player. And the reason it uses BlueRay is because Sony want to shoe-horn BlueRay in as the defacto standard for HD movies. The entire PS3 debacle seems to be geared towards this, and Sony have forgotten that "it's about the games man!".
Sony have really lost the plot with both this, and to a lesser extent the PSP (They released a 10 minute advert for the PSP in the US, and it didn't even mention games once FFS).
You just have to look at the sales figures to see how badly they've messed up. These are sales figures for Japan (Sony Gaming's
strongest and most loyal market) the other week:
Nintendo DS: 133k
Nintendo Wii: 75k
Sony PSP: 24k
Sony PS2: 12k
Sony PS3: 11k
Of course, being Japan, the 360 doesn't even appear on the radar. Japanese gamers don't much like US/European games and hardware (with rare exceptions).
I've a lot of friends who work in the games industry, and almost to a man they are really unimpressed with the PS3.
It also says a lot that Sony just made redundant 54 developers and QA staff (luckily a guy I know who works there managed to keep his job) from the branch that made Motorstorm as part of their management teams current "Oh shite, we really messed up" panic.
