Slug, I think most people would agree that the PS2 pretty much creamed everything in the last console war. Xbox and GameCube were roughly equal, but neither came near to the PS2 in terms of consoles sold.
In my eyes, PS3 and Xbox 360 are just upgrades of their predecessors, with online functionality. Xbox got the online system down in the last generation, but PS3 is sticking with the fiddly system they had last generation, meaning you meet hardly anyone online unless the game is popular/brand new. Revolution has everything the GameCube had, but it's also adding in the new controller. Having a 'real' sword fight with someone online, manipulating the controller and having your in-game avatar do exactly the same thing is now a possibility. If you prefer old-style controllers, they're coming out with one of them, just with the added movement thing. And it's ditching the old style of online console gaming for the polished, 'all games under one roof' thing that Xbox proved to work the best last generation. PS3 will probably still sell the most though, because it's a name that people/parents know.
Basically what I'm saying is, the hype over the 360 is only there because the other consoles have yet to come out. In a year's time, people will be looking back at the 360 like a better-funded Dreamcast. So forget it and upgrade your PC
