I’ve just been reading on Videogaming 247 all about how the Xbox 360’s days are supposedly numbered now that the PS3 is gathering steam. It seems that Microsoft have to decide either to throw in the towel or come out with a new console next year or at the latest by 2010 if they want to have a chance not at winning but simply staying in the console business.
It seems like everyone will be wanting Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2 etc. and when they come out the Xbox will be wiped of the face of the Earth.
Well I for one don’t want to play with rag dolls in Little Big Planet and I’ve never really understood the appeal of seeing men in tight trousers crawling over the ground in order to get up close and wack somebody. The first Resistance was not that good a game so why should the second be so great.
If you’re into videogames the Xbox 360 is a must have because that is where Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo and the best versions of numerous other essential titles are. If you want to get the PS3 in the hope that some good exclusives will eventually come out then that’s perfectly understandable, but at the moment there is only really one necessary console.
