I just don't see how pretending to be a fanboy / baiting fanboys to comment / being jokingly antagonistic can result in anything constructive. I know it's fun to be in on the joke and all, but its run its course. I own all three current consoles, both handhelds and a slightly underpowered PC. So I consider myself pretty neutral. And well paid. :D -- G1GAHURTZ, you're preaching to the converted here. I've no love for Kotaku's farming and culling of gamer-trolls. Well, its new home is, apparently, on VG247.

When first released people were crowing about how the PS3 would never catch up but it's doing pretty well at the moment. Sony still have a lot of ground to cover though but it's not the total failure that some people were expecting. Yes (to the 360).
