While keeping an eye on reports of diehard gamers (and more than a few eBay entreprenuers) braving long lines and cold nights — and even facing down guns — to purchase their Sony PS3s and Nintendo Wiis, we spent the last weekend putting these new consoles, as well as the year-old Xbox 360, through their paces. You might be surprised (or outraged) by our grades. So please keep in mind that these reviews reflect our immediate post-launch impressions — we promise to re-review them within the next year.

interesting on the PS3 -

The first batch of games is a letdown: Most of them look no better than what you can see on the Xbox 360 — and none offer any revolutionary step up in gameplay.
were they supposed to? guess they forgot this console was supposed to be released when the 360 was and was supposed to compete directly with it and is therefore just as old as the 360....they make it sound like the PS3 was just thought up and released....
