I still maintain the PS1 to be the joint best games console ever made. The other best one would be the N64. I'm not sure what to think of the saturn even though it was a crap design. I really don't understand why they listed the CD32 there though.
I am playing Bayonetta on the PS3 at the moment and was told the XBOX 360 version was superior. I also have an XBOX Elite and can tell you that the game is worse on the Microsoft machine. Only the save time between levels is faster. The PS3 runs hot and has locked up a few times. Also it is Network dependant... which is a pain. The PS2 was pretty solid though a poor design. The PS1 was classic hardware and a marvel. SONY stuff is generally superior to anything and I have all my electrical gear made by SONY.
There have been issues with SONY in the past but I care little if I get the best for the money. That is why I purchased an Amiga... cus it was the best computer for the money. Nothing MS have produced is anything other than a poor immitation of someone else's good idea. Nothing on the XBOX is innovative. Same goes for the OS... But I guess we all knew that.
On that controller I guess this is going to be the first step on the way to a programmable all purpose hand held unit for a lot more than just gaming.
SONY's controller is still the best ever... Should be the industry standard. Certainly all the PC controllers immitate the SONY one.
