And who says there will even be a PS4? Sony is no where near getting a profit from the PS3 nor its software. Software sales for the PS3 are simply horrible no matter if it's first party or third. Shoot, third party usually sell better. Only thing that can save the hardware is a big price cut but that would put Sony in even more red. Sony has failed in every way.
All in all, I could care less about the future as the Xbox 360 has everything I want now. And when ever the next consoles do come out, I'll have a huge back log of games to play.
Speaking of games, can't wait for Borderlands. :D
Which will be on the PC so I don;t have to worry about a easybreak oven and a crappy control pad :P

The game is designed using the Xbox 360 pad as said by Randy Pitchford. Also evident by every preview video shows tips using the buttons from the 360 pad.
But why the hate? PC users should be very happy about the Xbox 360 as it's about the only reason why they get any games at all these days. If the 360 was as hard to develop for as the PS3, doubt you would see even half of the ports you guys get now. So be nice to the Xbox 360, its the reason why you will be able to play Borderlands.

Meh just the 360 can use any 360 button configuration and use a mouse and keyboard but the lack of options and control configuration industry wide is just to much. Thats where my butt hurt comes from I don't mind the 360 replacing the PC as a mainstream game platform,ect but I am oh so tired of lack design and implementation.
I just finished Bionic commando and it was fun even if the button setup was basic at least you could reconfigure it some.

Thats a pretty bold statement as last I checked the Wii was out selling the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined. So at this rate Wii sales are still going up, just as PS3 and Xbox 360 sales are, but the PS3 and Xbox 360 would have to double there combined sales just to catch up to the Wii, let alone surpass it.

Wait..... 31M(360) + 23M(PS3) is 54M is 2M more than the WII 0_o
But ya the WII is doing well give it a 360 like HD upgrade with some extra upscaleing it would be perfect for the next 8 years.

the Xbox360 controller works on the pc. there are also certain brands of keyboards and mice that will work on the 360. the controller only has 38 possible key combinations the keyboard has over 1000.

Which can be magically tailored to the requirements of the player with something called a configuration screen where you can setup your Gdamn controls. And because they refuse to give you more than 3 or 4 cookie cutter options you are damned to play a game however they lay out it and not something that can be altered to be more intuitive to the player.
