I think the PS3 has made up a lot of ground this year and it's now my most played console of all three. This is mainly due to the free online and the fact that I haven't renewed my XBox Live gold account yet. Nintendo on the other hand (i think) have really abandoned the core gamer. I have not played a Wii game since Mario Galaxy (except for the very short time I had with Mario Kart). Let's hope Mad World for the Wii brings some love back to Nintendo for the serious gamer.
On another note, why is it that I still find myself thinking games look better on 360 when Playstation is the superior spec'ed console. Is it that hard to program on? First party Sony games look great but when I have a choice to buy a game on 360 or PS3, I keep finding myself going for 360. I think this might turn around soon as I did buy Mirror's Edge and Far Cry 2 on PS3 and they both look great.
PS3.. You can do it..

It's is common knowledge that the PS3 is harder to program for, but I think most developers have a handle on that now. There are a lot of variables to consider when comparing games on both consoles, meaning that everything other than the PS3 and 360 must be the same -- TV adjustments included.
I think you'd find that the visible differences between most newer games on each (obviously mulitplatform titles) are negligible, if they even exist at all any more.
The PS3's a great system but I'm afraid unless Sony get their marketing sorted it's not going to do any damage to the current hardware race.

The ps3 had a really good year this year
even though they had flops like resistane 2 haze and socom
they made it up with high quality titles like little big planet and valkrya chronicles
true their online isnt up to par with xbox live
but you get what you pay for and for being free it isnt too shabby
The Ps3 and X360 are basically the same in power. The graphical capabilities were just drastically overhyped
"The ps3 had a really good year this yearHow in the fuck is Resistance 2 a flop?

"The Ps3 and X360 are basically the same in power. The graphical capabilities were just drastically overhyped"Until I see it (and maybe I'm being ignorant here) I still don't believe a 360 could run MGS4 or Killzone 2. I'm not saying 360 doesn't provide great looking games, Gears 2 is unbelievable.

But Gears 2 looks better than MGS4? I don't understand what you're getting at. Just look at Gears, Banjo, and the top tier of the graphics.
To be honest, MGS4 isn't exactly a graphical beast. It's good looking, but not really so special.
Killzone 2 does look better than any 360 game. That being said, it looks better than every PS3 game. It's not exactly just an average ps3 title. But on that topic, it is a future title. Look at stuff like fear 2 and whatnot and you'd realize that games are going to keep on looking better. Killzone 2 is just ahead of everybody else. It is a next year title afterall.
I think it's just a case of you not realizing that Gears 2 doesn't look like this
\
and Banjo does not look like this
They look so much better.

yeah heres the deal, playstation 3 exclusives look superior, cross platforms do not always though. i mean look at how awesome uncharted, metal gear solid 4, ratchet, and even mlb 08 look!
I agree with TwoOneFive, if developers would just learn the PS3 already*its a shame i have to even say that phrase* and use it as the lead development platform, it would be the best for gaming as a whole. I've heard on podcasts that PS3 will port to XB360 pretty well, its just hard to do the other way around. All of Sony's first party titles have been prettty good so far, i'm really looking forward to Killzone 2, and with Trophies becoming manditory in 09...i am fixin to never leave my ps3...
