Nice.
Now we gotta wait to see what the 720 will have to offer. I will definitely buy one this year, for sure. Not sure which though until I see what Microsoft will have to offer.

Elaborate the why, please
Truthfully, Sony has a better team of first party developers. Granted, they don't have that 20 million game selling franchise like Halo, but they have 1st party developers in every corner of the world who have put out great games.
