There it is again, the "graphics" debate. Game play first, then graphics. Right now the PS3 has yet to deliver int his department.

I find it quite interesting on how BOTH GameInformer and EGM say that the PS3 is cool and all but really not really all that great but the best part is when they say that the Wii really is something... Both magazines said that the Wii is way better than the PS3 and for Nintendo this is a slap in the face to Sony!!:D (YEA NINTENDO!!) But really it comes down to what I said the PS3 just doesn't have it all together and that it what is costing Sony soo much! <-- Go Wii!
STANDUP ~<>~ BEHEARD!
