anyhow
there are differences ( you can see them on any site that list the different specs , the spe and others ) ; I'm convinced the ps3 will pump out more and more well the the x360 , lil or big more - I don't know
that's likely that dedicated games will reveal more about the ps3 and x360 differences ( or similarities ? .. . )

From the trailers I've seen up to today it's the ps3 trailers I've seen that impress me, the xbox360 do not impress me

let's see what happen when sony is ready to launch ps3 and games ( and x360 will have yet 1 year of games and software developments behind ..)
this will tell us more

The biggest difference will be that the XBox 360 has a one year head start, we can buy next gen games and play them right now. (and have been for over half a year now).

Perhaps you have, I've been waiting waiting for hardware revs and Halo 3.

Of course I didn't buy a PS2 until the slim version came out, and I've never purchased a gamecube - my former roommate had one and I got to play plenty of mariokart, which fullfilled any desire I had for the nintendo market

- so my next gen purchases will be pretty staggered as well.

No need to early adopt, the more you wait, the cheaper things get, but you need a lot patience, since others will be playing while you wait. But if you can wait, more power to ya! YOu can save money that way and spend it on other things like headphone gear.

There is always a price to being on the bleeding edge.

It's in Console gaming, that I like to early adopt.

Most of my friends lack the funds to early adopt in this generation of consoles, so that's not too much of a concern.

just saw this video for the wii controller:

pretty crazy

Cool video, certainly shows some possible uses for the controller. I still really hope they don't dumb down controls because of it though, or abuse it as a sometimes-gimmick where you're just playing the game and run into <use controller strangely here> moments.

Don't worry, they dumb down the games to accomodate the controller.
