If anyone has positive news about the PS3 please contribute, because what little news that system is putting out isn't worth much right now as far as I can see. 

Jagged Alliance on the DS almost made me fall out of my chair, hot damn I love that series.

Leon, I think that question was directed at you...

Hehe. I think Sony's just going to have to survive for awhile and make a good name for itself gamewise. It's still the superior system but they did indeed drop the ball on it. If Sony can stay alive for a year or two they'll do alright, one thing about the PS3 is that it'll have a longer life span than the 360 (not sure what the deal is with Wii) and I believe M$ will be designing a new system when PS3 will still be up to date with technology.

Truth is they should have waited longer, possibly another year. Sure they would have been criticized, but they could have built more hype and they wouldn't have been competing with a cheaper 'new' system over the holidays.

Nice post Leon. You talked about Sony and made sense.
