After his keynote at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this week, Bill Gates was chatting to a small group of reporters about the 360 and according to a blogger from Mercury News, Gates talked about how Microsoft and Sony have switched positions.
He said that this time, Microsoft has the high ground. It has "a small box, costs less, is visually compelling, has great games, does online superbly and offers all of the tools for game developers to make games easily," Gates said referring to the 360.
He also said that Sony doesn't have any advantage in graphics saying that Sony "burned a year" trying to make the Cell processor do graphics functions. And when it didn't work, they went to Nvidia for the graphics chip at the last minute. Gates said the 360 game developers would always be a year ahead of Sony on the learning curve in taking advantage of the system and as a result, PS3 will never have games that look better than Xbox 360's.
Currently it's true, Gears of War is the best looking game on any system. There's just no denying it. But I guess only time will tell if Sony will prove Mr. Gates wrong. I for one hope they will, as I imagine Microsoft will then retaliate and it's us, the gamers, that end up playing the sickest looking games ever created.

He wanted to beat Sony all along, so he went and push the 360 and had 1 year head start.
He did not care whether the system was working 100% fine. And look what happened. 3rod.
And from the warranty claim, ms should be making quite a lot of loss. Warranty claim for MS is a cost.
By banning people off live also they get more sale because some people who are 360 fan will really buy it. Actually they can just ban anytime when they need more revenue.
And in marketplace, they even make more by people buying points.
My point is MS cares only how much revenue they can generate before launching a newer console.
Sony, yes they are in big trouble, thats why they are trying to reduce the price. And MS is talking crap. We all know PS3 nvidia performs way better then 360 Ati.
The only problem is, there is no good game and not good online like 360 but guess is free
But Sony was smart in way of making sure the product is in top quality. How many PS3 is not proper working properly compare to 360 ?
Sony just need a good game with high end graphics. But still Sony is 1 good entertainment system.
