The whole situation looks a bit ridiculous, if you look from an angle of a person who actualy works in games industry.
Both companies (Sony and MS) are trying really hard to cut eachother's throat, while making damage only to themselves, and to the whole industry. The problem for them now - too much hype around "next-gen", and still no real reason why would anyone spend $600 on a console. Next-gen games are nowhere near to what they would have you believe. It all started going downhill once the PR took over. Nintendo is the only company in the field not going after this, staying true to themselves. Respect for that.
