Eh. The average game size for Xbox only grew by 77% from 2001-2005. 360 launch titles filled 49% of the disc on average, so it'll be a few years before any games approach filling the DVD. They would have to grow in size by 100% before doing so, though.
If a game exceeded the DVD size limit, they'd solve it with multiple discs, file compression, or another solution to make it work. I don't see it being any issue at all until the next generation of consoles, and the format war will be settled by then. |

With the exception of the Wii, doesn't every major console come standard with a hard drive now? There have been rumors for months of Nintendo releasing either a HD, or Wii 2.0 |

What about GTA? It's no longer exclusive to Sony. It's coming out for the 360 as well. |

Call of Duty 4 is incredible. So much detail. It feels like you really have to cover yourself. The first place on the boat really brings you into the action.  |

If I were you I would qualify that statement with "IMO." It's a highly subjective preference, and the mantra of fanboys. 
I have both (actually all 3 next-gens, including the Wii), and have hardly looked at the 360 or Wii since getting a PS3. If I could have only one console, it would be the PS3 hands down. IMO the exclusives are better on the PS3, and the majority of recent games are available on both (and of those, I tend to prefer the PS3 versions). The games I've played are not only better, but the overall experience on the PS3 is better than the 360. I'll take quality over quantity, any day.
And speaking of quantity, I'd say that's no longer an issue either. A year or two ago the PS3 had a puny library, but that has changed. I was just noting to a buddy last week as we were looking at the game selection at a local store, that the PS3 section was now as large as the 360 section. Discounting old titles and looking only at current ones, I'd say they're pretty close on the number of games. The PS2 holds the record for the number of games made and sold, and I'm pretty confident that the PS3 will follow in the same path.
IMO. |
