Next generation consoles

Some random thoughts:

So all of the big three console manufacturers have announced their next-generation products. Of them all, the only one that strikes me as an accurate representation is the Xbox 360, because it is shipping this year. The Playstation 3 information seems to be solely oriented at being better than the Xbox information, i.e. "they have Feature X, we have Feature X+1!". Plus, there is no way that the demos that I saw for the PS3 were real-time.

I also really like the fact that all of the consoles are shipping with wireless controllers only. Boy that will make my wife happy. I already have a cable management issue.

I am excited about Nintendo's announcement that the Revolution will allow you to download and play games from their archive though.

Thank god they aren't all coming out within a few months of each other, since I must own them all...
