Looks like Sony is ready for a fight
News.com is reporting that the upcoming Playstation 3 will have specs that rival those of the XBOX 360 - super-fast processor, wireless controllers, wifi and gigabit ethernet.
According to the upcoming TIME magazine cover story on the XBOX 360, Microsoft intends to release Halo 3 at the same time that Sony releases the PS3.
IMO, backward compatibility will be the key issue for a lot of gamers. If Sony delivers it (which they say they will) and MS doesn't (they haven't said either way), it could be trouble for the 360.
Also, MS is killing Sony in online gaming. Sony will have to really prove themselves there to stay competitive with the hard-core gamer.
The next 12 months should be fun to watch. I'm definitely sticking with the XBOX; however, it will be interesting to see if the 6 month headstart in the market (and the promise of Halo 3) will be enough to move XBOX closer to the top.
