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.

hahahahahahahahahaha

PS2???????GET REAL

you are so right......you're the truth

but even in Japan, 360 overtakes ps3

Do not buy NFS: ProStreet. It's shit.<-----this is true mate, i've tried it and i am a bit down with the graphics and gameplay. this is what happens when a company is rich enough......

oh yes but u have to spend your entire savings to earn a console's graphics

yeah, you're right. PS3 is too state of the art where ppl nowadays buy it to play lots of games not buying it for just enjoying with only a few games......xbox360 is the best bet for everyone
