PS3...simple...because i want to experience the Cell chip technology. An extremely powerful processer...extremely powerful graphics generator. Oh, By The Way, the games for the XBOX 360 and the PS3 aren't going to make huge leaps in graphics or processing power until a little bit after they've been out. Most componies don't have the dough to harness all of that power. Oh, one last thing. The XBOX only kicked the PS3's ass because the XBOX was developed and released 6 months after Sony. That's why it kicked ass, it had nothing to do with the money or the reaserchers Microsoft has.
