If Sony had managed to make an easier-to-use SDK for its system, and if it had the reputation that MS had after its first-gen XBOX, which was truly better than the PS2, then I really believe that the PS3 would win out.
Benefits include:
1 ) Free online multiplayer (sure, not as well-polished as Live, but its FREE)
2 ) Internet browser. This should be a must-have…
3 ) More powerful hardware (on paper; again, the harder to use SDK limits this)
4 ) Bluray media (more space, truly next-gen)
5 ) Uses same harddrives laptops use, which means easily, CHEAPLY upgradeable
6 ) Built-in WiFi. Not some expensive add-on USB card
7 ) Bluetooth. Including up to 7 all-wireless Bluetooth controllers
8 ) IMO, looks much cooler
9 ) Built much better (no RRODs on the PS3)
10 ) Virtually no piracy (I don’t know of anyone who developed a way to play burnt Bluray games on the PS3, or even games downloaded to its hard drive)
'Nough said.
