If you look at the specs, PS3 has better processor, similar graphics, both wireless controllers and both acting (I think) as multimedia hubs with lots of USB2 ports. Both will support hi-def tv’s (LCD for me next year) but the key thing will, as it’s always been, be the software and the infrastructure. Xbox has shown how Live will work in the future, how it will support developeres etc. Sony have said – hers a beast of a machine – go make some games. Thats what it seems like to me.

On paper the PS3 looks stronger, but one look at that controller – what were they thinking? Me being gadget/gamin boy – I’ll be buying a 360 for sure, and more than likely a PS3 – it will be a year or two before we see which is the stronger machine.

As for memory sticks – makes sense as that’s what the PSP uses, although they are pro duo’s. It will be interesting to see what differnece Blu-Ray makes – hi-def movie watching could just be round the corner.
