There will never be a clear line of comparison between the Xbox and Cube. One had a x86 CPU the other had a PPC. Which is why Xbox games have to be emulated on a 360 - the 360 has a PPC CPU.
Gigabit ethernet= network computing you short sighting chimp. The PS3 is hailed as a media centre and with Linux and VLC will stream anything. fuck if I'm streaming my 1080p videos down anything with less than a gigabit connection.
"GameCube was more powerful than PS2 yes, but not as powerful as the Xbox. However, the GameCube had a more efficient design, it was very cheap to manufacture compared to the other consoles and considering its power."
Funny, I liked GC since it felt like a successor to the Dreamcast in many ways. Oddly enough, it had a similar fate... DAMN YOU, CONSOLE FATE DECIDERS OF DECISION-MAKING!
I like the Wii's hardware, but I'm just not so hot on the controls. Then again, most wireless stuff just feels really loose to me.

Stream from where? Do you have a gigabit ethernet card in your computer?

They fired Ken, and there's talk of a pretty good price drop in the near future to spur sales. Notice that the PS2 is still selling fine however, so it's not all bad for Sony. However, I smell doom in the near future for the Psp.
I really do feel bad for the PS3 now. The GBA is actually outselling it. The now completely obsolete legacy-hardware GBA.
At the current pricepoint I'm not surprised. Is ANYONE surprised really? 360 gives you basically the same performance minus the blu ray player, and the PS3 is losing exclusives faster than a teenager is popping zits.

No matter what anyone says, I'll always love my PSP and PS3. I'm not a fanboy or anything, I like the 360, just I like the PS3 more.
Sales have been poor recently, but after the Sony gamer's day - I've got a lot of confidence in the PS3 still. Things like Home, LittleBigPlanet and Pain are games that I really want. They're things that I could play over and over again, and they'll be on the PS Store so easy for me to get ahold of. Then we've got actual games from stores like Killzone, MGS4, Ratchet & Clank, Ninja Gaiden, SOCOM, Warhawk and all the others announced exclusively for the PS3. Just head over to gametrailers.com, go to the Sony Gamer's Day and see the trailers for the newly announced games - most are exclusive to the PS3, so to say they're losing all their exclusive games probably isn't true anymore.
I still think the 360 will make more sales, and I still think the 360 will have the most fans, but I still think that for it's price, the PS3 was worth it for me. Probably not for anyone else, but it was for me. I think the success of the PS3 will highly depend upon the battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray, not between the gaming aspect of the PS3 and 360.
Also as for the PSP, I certainly don't think it is anywhere near dead. They just dropped the price which increased sales by something like 60% in the UK, and the Playstation Store will be released on it soon which will allow us to download and play PSOne titles - which will certainly increase sales too. Nintendo DS is making more sales I think, but Sony aren't really competing with the DS anyway.
Sorry if I sound biased towards Sony, I have honestly tried to give my honest opinion
All consoles have good and bad points, and I don't think any of the next-gen consoles is better than the other. But like I said, the success of the PS3 will probably depend on how people decide to watch movies, not play games.

If Blu Ray succeeds, then the PS3 will be a cheap Blu Ray player. If Blu Ray fails, then the PS3 will be a ridiculously expensive video game console.

Yippee! PSOne titles! Now honestly... The Spyro games are good, but who in their right mind would pick Spyro before Super Mario 64? Lots of PSOne games were good for their time, but not many stands the test of time. Besides, lots of the most popular PSOne games have also gotten much improved versions for the newer systems and the PSOne versions feel aged, but without the cool nostalgia feeling of a NES or SNES game.
Phredreeke breaks the free Home vs. subscription-based Xbox Live argument in one sentence: The difference in price between the 360 and PS3 is the same as the cost of five years subscription to Xbox Live.
Sorry if I sound biased against Sony, I'm just trying to be honest. But when Flava says the success of the PS3 will probably depend on how people decide to watch movies, not play games. That makes it sound like a pretty lousy game console. On the other hand, it did work for the PS2...
