After the Revolution
alright this is a slight misnomer, revolution refering to the previous name of the wii. This is not anythign to do with the Wii either, rather PS3. Here is a NY times article comparing the PS3 and Xbox. Basically they say:
"Overall, Sony seems to have put a lot of effort into cramming as much silicon horsepower under the hood as possible but to have forgotten that all the transistors in the world can’t make someone smile. And so it is a bit of a shock to realize that on the video game front Microsoft and Sony are moving in exactly the opposite directions one might expect given their roots. Microsoft, the prototypical PC company, has made the Xbox 360 into a powerful but intuitive, welcoming, people-friendly system. Sony’s PlayStation 3, on the other hand, often feels like a brawny but somewhat recalcitrant specialized computer. (Sony is even telling users to wait for future software patches to fix some of the PS3’s deficiencies.) The thing is, if people want to use a computer, they’ll use a computer."
Alvaro pay attention!! although surprising is that they do not mention the Wii at all. Speaking of which here is the latest hilarious comic from xkcd:

This is a very biased article! Microsoft has also been correcting several flaws with new firmware updates! Also it is important to note that when Microsoft released, it didn't have any good games. Now after one year they seem to have some good stuff. Give the PS3 sometime and I believe it will be a much better console than the M$ alternative!
I saw that the retail version of the PS3, as soon as it is connected to the internet it asks you for a patch, which you have to download otherwise some games can't be played.
No to forget that the news of an Xbox running for more than 3 weeks without trouble, remains to be seen.
And I thought the Wii was a sure winning this age, but PS3 is getting so much press it seems it will remain on top
