I'd rather pay almost twice the price of an Xbox for a PS3, because I feel I'd get a lot more out of it. Let's see...Free online, Xbox makes you pay, because Microsoft needs more money for some reason. PS3 has more power, and in a while when they can truly utilize all of it I bet we'll be seeing some outrageously gorgeous shit. What else? Oh, the Xbox controller is crap, unless you play FPS games. PS is good for any type of game, even fighting games, cause that weird ass D pad is actually surprisingly very accurate.
Don't forget the loads of exclusives PS3 is getting this year. What else does Xbox have other than Halo that PS3 doesn't? Nothing really from what I can tell, so I'm gonna eventually get the system that has more exclusives that are more appealing to me.
If IGA wanted to make a really smart marketing decision, then he should just release the game on both consoles. Shouldn't be that hard, Rockstar is doing it for GTA4, and that looks pretty damn nice. Appealing to the wider audience is a smart marketing decision like you said, but there's no reason why he couldn't appeal to an even wider audience by putting it on both consoles.
