Exciting times for xbox 360 fans with thigns such as project natal, is it now starting to blow away ps3?

New games such as left 4 dead 2, new halos, a new metal gear solid game (to the dismay of ps3 users) , facebook, twitter, new free downloadable games, and the free radio station, looks like this years picking up, Any input on what you think will be the cost of project natal sensor, thanks jack

i have a xbox 360 and ps3 so my opinion wouldnt be biased. xbox has bew stuff coming out but so does ps3! havent you seen mag? its a bit late for them to bring the motion sense thing cos ps3 and wii done it a long time ago bassically xbox copied the game iplay where there is a camera on ur ps2 and you move around and stuff. tho xbox 360 is really good its got a lot of faults and ps3 just easily over takes it i means seriously u can go on msn facebook and stuff but you cant go on the internet and playing online you have to pay for so the choice is easy!

Oh no, the 360 gets a Metal Gear Solid game that might star Raiden, perhaps the lamest character in all of MGS history.

New Halo games. Oh what a shocker. Let the franchise die.

Facebook: more harassment now on 360 and not PC.

Twitter: who cares.

Free Radio Station: Doesn't the PSP already have that?

I own a PS3, but in the interest of this answer I'll try to be unbiased as I can, but there's no promises there. In response to the MGS game coming to 360, don't get too excited. Though many are saying it's exclusive to 360, it isn't. It will be on 360, PC and PS3. Adding to that, PSP owners are getting a Metal Gear exclusive starring Big Boss. Not only that, but Metal Gear has been on the Playstation system since it's first 3D, polygonal game in 1998. Playsation users know the characters, the story, and everything about the game, also due to the Metal Gear Database, a free dowload for PS3 users.It's not that exciting that it's on 360 as it's one game in over 13 games from Sony.

As for Halo, it's getting old. I played through the first and wasn't too impressed. For me, it was just another standard FPS, with a bad, simple story and all the same things as most FPSs. I'd rather play Half-Life than Halo, and more Halo's is just more of the same game again. There's little innovation there, just new levels.

When it comes to social networking, i.e. facebook and twitter, isn't that what microsoft sold me a Windows PC for? I have full internet there. When I'm playing games, I don't wanna be poked or have people write things on my wall, I wanna play games. If I wanna talk to my friends I'll do it when I'm done playing games, on my fully functional PC. I don't want to type with a controller, or buy a special keyboard so I can use it with my console.

Free radio is also something that's on the internet, the PS3 has internet browsing and can support most websites fairly easily. I can use facebook and twitter on my PS3, listen to radio shows on the internet with my PS3 and use it on a PSP which already has that feature, as well as being portable so I can listen anywhere.

Admittedly, it's good that there are some free games coming to Xbox live, it's nice to see the company are offering that to customers. Especially since they pay so much to get online anyway. On the PS3 I am able to play against friends and strangers alike in many games, completely free of charge.

I gotta concede to some of the exclusive games coming to 360, they do look very good though. PS3 has some pretty good ones too so I think they are pretty even on that front. But FFIV on PS3, no one was expecting that!

As for Natal, it looks great. But we'll have to wait and see if it delivers what it says it can. Sony's new motion capture controllers don't look as good, but I still think they will be pretty good as we only saw prototypes. But also, since MS has shown it's hand with Natal, it may give Sony every opportunity to improve their system further.

What Xbox needs is a portable system, the other two major companies has them and it opens up a whole new market for more casual gamers. And if Natal works with little or no glitches or frustrations then that will definitely put Xbox ahead.
