This could almost be a debate over MAC vs PC, Merc vs Porsche et-al, hey does it really matter? With regards to the PS3, after this current format war I may find myself getting XBOX 2 first as it is more likely to be a strict games machine, I can see the PS3 evolving into some sort of multimedia set top box rather than a strict console, like the PSX and this doesn't appeal to my tastes.
