I don't see why people are getting so worked up about potential shortcomings of the PS3. It looks to be a very impressive system. It'll certainly be more impressive than the XBox 360, which is doing very well.
I guess I just don't understand the console market. The last console I bought was in the PS1/N64 era. Back in those days, people chose consoles based on the games. Now people seem to be choosing consoles based on the power of the hardware. I think this is kind of silly.
I'm gonna stick to PC gaming until the whole console market produces something that appeals to me.
I'm aware of the Immersion lawsuit over the rumble patent, but why were only Sony and Microsoft targeted? The Nintendo 64 had the Rumble Pak, and there are piles of PC gaming accesories that use vibration feedback.
