It's great that you can talk with friends and buy thing over the 360 and do your taxes and bake a cake ... but those features are not thrilling to me....at least not at first.
The first thing I look forward to is the games and the enhancements made to a genre.
Enhancments not only include graphics....
I am looking forward to games that offer something more than a Halo... I look forward to more of an experience like for say Half Life where you actually feel in the game.
Enhanced graphics is the 1st prereq for any new console.. that is where it starts and should not be where it ends... and that is where the extra "crap" "stuff" ad-ons the 360 is offering comes into play... slightly.
I really look forward to better story telling, unique games, even crazy games like Seaman....
Maybe evn the ability for a friend or stranger to team up with you over live or sys link and play a campaign game... with extra "stuff"
I do not look forward to ayone telling me what games will be compatible / the best selling games? ... the most popular? I hate the games they are thinking about right now..ie Fable,PGR,Crimson etc
I just really expect alot of difference and a better "video game experience" this time around from both 360 and the ps3... at this very moment only 3 title looks absolutely different or something new to offer and all around 10 good looking titles.
Hopefully I will be satisfied seeing as how I will graduate from college this Fall and have plenty of time to get my game on.
So is it Next Gen enough... maybe... only time will tell

continue gaming
