So who is going to win the next-gen war?

Personally, I think Sony has really done a horrible job this time around. The bad press is not being balanced by a dominant system or equally matched titles going into the holiday season. Xbox 360 has a pretty nice library established and all the Xbox zombies waiting for Halo 3 to drop. On the other side of things, PS3 has a meager little collection of titles with Resistance heading that up. Most say Gears of War matches if not topples that title anyway.

And what about the Wii? Nintendo was a pretty quiet player this last gen war–which was nice for me since I could pick up popular multi-platform titles for my Gamecube at half the price of my Xbox and PS2 buds after price drops. The Wii kind of brings Nintendo in to a unique market. Even though PS3 tries to copy them with the motion-sensing remote, I think I will like the Wii better for some types of gaming than even a system with superior graphics.

Just checking out the Madden controls gets me pretty pumped about the possibilities. I know I can never remember the button for spin or juke when I am running, but if all I have to do is stick out my arm…now we are talking.

I think the Wii and the 360 are going to win big, and I can’t really feel sorry for Sony. You did it to yourself, Stringer.
