...but it won't be because of name recognition alone. That is just one part of many. Xbox was one of the biggest money losers in the history of gaming and 360 is headed down the same path. The PS3 has superior hardware going for them as well as the proof of two generations that they will support their consoles for a long period of time. There are plenty of gamers who will stick with PS2 until they can afford a PS3. As far as games, Sony will make sure there are plenty. They have great first and third party support and it will only increase. Microsoft has thrown their chips in the pot on the basis of how unique Xbox live is. Unfortunately they only thing that will be unique is that they charge you for it. Sony also has true 1080p(1.3) and Bluray.
I personally own all three consoles from the last generation and have loved games on all of them. I have no bias for either company but think by at least the beginning of 2008 it will be clear that Sony has won yet again. I really could care less at this point though. I have nothing to lose. I haven't bought a 360 and will be grabbing a Wii on the 19th. I will wait until next year before I worry about one of the other two. Unless something unforseen happens though I'm sure my other console will be a PS3.

...they track how many traffic jams are a result of cell phones?
Someone grab the De Lorean DMC-12. Reading this headline made me feel like I had returned to the year 1999. Maybe it's just me.
Actually it is a widespread problem and is only getting worse by the day. Pathetic.
