XboxEuropean Xbox chief Neil Thompson says PS3 isn’t a next-generation games system. BUUUUURRRN! I’m not sure how it’s not a next-gen system, but I guess Microsoft is just a touch edgy about the upcoming system.

I think [Sony] has missed the ball, in that it’s not really a next-generation games player – it’s a next-generation DVD player. For us, that’s great news, because we think we make the next-generation games console. If gamers are desperate to get the next-generation DVD player, then they’ll start considering Blu-Ray and the PS3. But Sony is the company that brought us Betamax, MiniDisc and UMD – I’m not convinced people today will go and bet the farm on buying a Blu-Ray disc.

    the new ps3 may not be as next gen as xbox (so they say…) however, it will have one thing xbox doesnt have…

    Mario on the S/NES will always be cool. It’s like jazz or classical music. It just remains good. I still get the theme from SMB2 stuck in my head all the damn time.
