Next-gen console smackdown part XVIIIII

by

1Up.com has a decent summation of what to expect in the next round of the console wars. I’ve been wavering in possible game machine purchases, since the Xbox 360 will probably have the best first person shooters of the bunch, but the PS3, should it ever actually be released, will have Metal Gear Solid 4. Then there’s the Nintendo Revolution, which promises to have an innovative controller and be a lot cheaper than the other two systems, but which doesn’t have the extra “yahyahgottahaveit” factor I need to push me over the edge to an actual purchase.

Still, this is all academic until I get a television of some note, and that won’t happen until after the summer. So hopefully by that time all the systems are out and price wars have begun.
