So with the line up for the 360 being so strong this year is 2007 the year that the 360 wins the next-gen war?
Or does the Wii just have to much traction at the moment to stop?
The lady on the left ain't bad either :D

The Wii is going to be the winner simply because of the low price and mass appeal outside of core gamers.
I just wonder how much the success of the Wii is going to impact the designs of the next generation XBox and PS ???.
Already we have a comment from the Xbox head honco is saying that XBox Live Arcade must also become "fun" like the Wii.

That you may... Have 90% of your last posts contained a reference to gh2 :D...
I will add it please accept my humble apologies
You do realise that it is not relevant to the post though since we are talking about May onwards and Exclusives?
In terms of next gen, GH2 is exclusive to 360.
And yes, at least 90% of my posts have been WRT GH2.
Did I mention I've preordered 2 copies so that I can have an extra controller?

Wow I didn't know M$ has swiped the exclusive... Then it really needs to be included... and has been ;)
Can't you just buy a second controller?
How hard is the game, could my 4 year old play it?
I'm sure that there will be 3rd party 360 GH2 controllers, but I don't wanna wait....
I think that the easy modes are quite easy, but whether or not a four year old can play, I dunno.

nope....
Rumours where originally March 2007 if I remember correctly, then I heard May.
You can however just connect to the UK server and play the local guys easily enough.

I heard rumours yesterday about a 360 "relaunch" next month - I imagine that's when Live is due. It's also about hte time the new Pay per view channels get announced - like Telkom - so it could be about the whole deal.
Then again I could just be dreaming.

Where did you hear these rumours?
I have been expecting something to happen in the beginning of April for a while but I have nothing to go on apart from gut feel....
I just don't see M$ taking the entry of the PS3 into PAL markets lying down, they are in such a strong position....
Price drop, new models, new live servers.... something must happen....

Not the most reliable source to be honest - a Game sales drone who was in a crisis of conscience as I was converting him by force of will from his evil Sony fanboyism to the light side ;)

Seriously though I might get around to writing about it but I will make sure I mark it as a rumour.
