I think that both systems will have their defining features.
But basically, its the games that are going to define and sell each system.
I buy what I like to play, generally thats fps. So I bought ab XBOX.
That means that I have to deal with sony fanboys, and a console large enough to move the earth if dropped.
My friends like to play... not entirely sure what they play, but they bought a PS2.
That means that they have to buy a new console every 2 years (theres a total of 12 or so between them), and deal with XBOX players calling them fanboys when ever they bust out the latest "PS2 owns the XBOX" without any reasoning
I like the PS2, I really do, when ever I go to a friends house, I play it constantly.
I just dont like having people go "System A is better than System B" and responding to the question "why?" with "SYSTEM A IS BETTER THAN SYSTEM B!!!!!!" and then the next time "why" is asked, having 3 more people chime in with
"SYSTEM A IS BETTER THAN SYSTEM B!!!!!!" until the questioning voices have been drowned out.
