RE: Microsoft Expects Xbox 360 To Outsell PS3 Across "Entire Generation"

I own both systems (and the Wii), and I do not look forward to any day when Microsoft might run the other hardware manufacturers out of business.

In addition to shoddy quality control (personal experience with a dead XBox DVD and a RROD 360). Microsoft knows people will still buy their product, even when they add restrictions that reduce user choice. No, I'm not talking about more Windows DRM....

Microsoft's upcoming update will lock out unofficial storage devices. While Sony freely allows their users to use any storage device they please - external USB drives or even internal replacements, MS is introducing a new "feature" that will lock out all 3rd party storage devices from companies that aren't paying licensing fees to MS.

If you own a Datel or other 3rd party memory card, copy any important data to a "genuine Microsoft" card quick.

That said, I'm not totally pleased with Sony either. I've said before that the slim is a downgrade from older PS3's, and I stick by that. I don't think either one of them has a clear advantage as a gaming platform, but I'd still put the PS3 just slightly ahead because it's also a blu-ray player.
