Even though the ps3 might not have a high sales rate yet, it will kick off once australia and Europe get there hands on it. Compared to Xbox 360 the ps3 is doing well with not having consoles in those key places yet. Once they open up then the ps3 trend will start. If you take how many consoles the xbox 360 sold in its first 4 months the ps3 has sold more. And the graphics are the same as the xbox 360 and the xbox360 has been out a whole year before the ps3. Now that is amazing that the ps3 games are already looking the same if not better than the xbox 360 games. I also believe that Playstation Home is going to be a success for the reason that it will help unite the community. I believe this is a huge step forward for Sony and it to be in the right direction.

For their sake, I hope not. And meanwhile, Second Life is becoming more and more open.

Back in the early 2000s the Sims was probably the biggest brand in gaming and very much mainstream and yet when they created a virtual world, it tanked. The only difference I can see between the Sims Online and Second Life is the idea (probably a myth) that you can get real world rich in Second Life and blog hype.

It's more natural to control yourself in a virtual world on a television, using a joystick vs. on the computer with a keyboard. It’s killer because it’s Second Life for the mass market.

And Michael, I did watch the keynote and have no intention of editing the blog entry. Thanks for stopping by. Ed, I wasn’t referring to the game play on the PS3 as underwhelming — more the sales.
