European 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.

Up on IMDB, there’s some scant news about who’s going to be involved in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV. Love the mills churning the buttery goodness of rumors.
