You also have to be careful with Xbox vs PS3 comparisons, since the two systems were release so far apart, use different technologies and have different initial target area's.

i'm not comparing the systems themselves, but rather how Microsoft and Sony went about with the launch of their respective consoles. and Sony has done virtually everything to screw up the launch of the PS3 and underdeliver on their promises. meanwhile Microsoft's launch went fairly smoothly and now a year later with the additions they've made to Xbox Live it makes Sony's online offering pale in comparison
and both Sony and Microsoft are targeting the same areas, namely the young male 15-25 demographic. Nintendo seems to be the only different one in targeting areas on either side by going for young kids and older adults looking for a throwback to the NES/SNES days
