I guess the gloves have come off between MS and Sony in the console war. Yesterday the MS marketing director said that MS had a far superior library to that of the Sony library. Today, Sony's marketing executive came out and said that MS didn't take full advantage of the year headstart that they had on Sony. He said that MS did not gain a sizeable advantage outside of their core FPS titles. He says starting with with this year's exclusive titles, Sony will start to distance themselves as far as the library goes because of the exclusive titles that are coming to the PS3 (notably MGS4, Little Big Planet, Tekken, etc..). He also notes that MS made a mistake in the HD-DVD format because as titles begin to get more and more complicated, the HD-DVD format will not be able to support the technology. He notes that MS had a great "crescendo" with the release of Halo, but Sony is "still within a stones throw" of MS. In my opinion, I think that both console will have a successful console cycle. That is the ideal situation for all gamers because competition breeds innovation. But, I don't think that MS has won this cycle of the console wars. I am a PS360 owner, and as a 360 owner I am not sure what I am going to buy this year. Sure GOW2 is suppose to come out later this year, but that is still 8 months away. Sony seems to be on a role for this year and I think that they will definitely close the gap significantly. So now lets turn it over to the fanboys. Is MS so far ahead that Sony can't close the gap, or is the Sony executive correct when they say that Sony in the long run will take over the console war.

Hello DTOID. This is my first blog, so handle me with care....


I was reading a story on another website where a Sony executive said that Little Big Planet is going to be Sony's biggest game this year. Now, I believe that the game is going to be a great title for Sony. I think that it is going to be one of the most innovative games out this year. It will have a large element of user generated content and influence, which I think Sony has done a good job with up to this point. But with games like Resistance 2, MGS4, GT5, Tekken, SOCOM, Killzone 2, and Haze coming out exclusive to Sony this year, do you really think that LBP is going to be the biggest? To me, MGS4 is going to be the biggest title of the year and potentially one that could result in moving a lot of consoles for Sony. No matter where you stand on this one, I think it is going to be a huge year for the console. Related story is linked below.

PS- If someone could give me a tip on changing my avatar, that would be great. For some reason it doesn't seem to be working right for me or maybe I'm just retarted today. Later DTOID.
