Hmm... I haven't decided what system I'm am going to get and when yet. Most developers interviewed working on the next-gen stuff (and the press in general) have stated that the PS3 will be more powerful than the XBox this time around (makes sense, the PS3 release is after the XB360 so its like the current generation in reverse) but more J-RPG's like this (in the FF vein) will have me all over the next XBox too...

Only sure thing is, if Nintendo doesn't do something, anything, to get "less weird" than they already are, then I've bought my last Nintendo console.

Sounds good. Hope it has that Final Fantasy feel.


I on the other hand am gonna get both systems. I think the success of the system will not depend on raw power, rather then on how much easier it is to code for the system (PS and PS2 were notorious to develop on especially at launch) and what developers can achieve with it. I'm dying to know what Microsoft is planning with their XNA (think of it as the next step in direct x, at least thats what I think, wonder if Gen-X can confirm this).

This years E3 is really gonna be interesting.
