Interesting pair of articles on 360 vs PS3
Charlie Demerjian has written an interesting pair of articles over on The Inquirer.
They're a review of the relative paths of Sony and Microsoft vis-a-vis their consoles and the expected life cycle.
Before you Pooh Pooh them as "Just Another Sony Hata", may I point out that Charlie has a phenomenal number of industry insider contacts. He really knows the IT biz. He is sometimes wrong, but not often. There is a joke that HP and Intel staff were more often than not finding out about various insider projects and changes from Charlie rather than from any official channel.
The articles are Here and Here
(BTW, I kind of hope he is wrong. I may not want a PS3 but I want the competition that drives the industry)

no subject
Given that Okami and Final Fantasy XII just hit the shelves this month, I suspect one of Sony's bigger competitors for the PS3 at the moment is actually the PS2. Why spend all that cash on the new machine when better games are currently coming out on the machine you already have? God of War II is going to PS2 as well, which is a mistake.
