There is still no point of making coding harder than it has to be... It's simply important to have good games, and making it easy to code helps that cause. Guess the war of words is heating up. My friends and I collectively own all 3 consoles (Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and Nintendo Wii). I would say that each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn?t dismiss Xbox 360 if I were Sony. It has come a very long way since the original Xbox and Microsoft put in a ton of work for the 360 version. I also recall somewhere I read that Xbox 360 outsold Sony over the 2008 holiday season. On the note about having access to all 3 consoles, I recently picked up an Xbox 360 Pro (the 60GB version) along with Tom Clancy?s End War for around $270 total, which was awesome. (By the way, I got it at Dell through a deal listed at <a href="http://www.uberi.com">http://www.uberi.com</a>. That?s also where I go to find a few good deals on games for all three platforms). I wonder at what point we will see more motion sensor based games and control similar to Wii on Xbox 360 and PS3. Surely that will significantly increase the appeal of Xbox 360 and PS3, and take away Wii?s advantages. Perhaps it?s patent related or something. It would also be nice to know the features and plans for the next generation of game consoles.

yer how will they better the new consoles? except no ring of death or disc read error ... microsoft could get rid of the chainsaw effect on games sony does have a point (even if i dont believe its intentional) games will keep getting better as the ps3 lives on ... its fact that people will be coding better later on so games will be better :D

Meh, it isn't hard to code, allot of programmers said so. Yes, it is tougher then a PS2 of XBOX or XBOX360, but all of them have been on the market so the programmers have had time to learn it...
