A report put together by a Japanese business magazine called [i]Weekly Toyo KeizaI[/i] came to the conculsion that the Xbox 360 was still a powerful opponent that the PS3 will not have an easy time overcoming. The reasons for the 360's continued reputation as a contender in the next gen console market is that it offers much the same graphical power as the PS3 does at a price 100 dollars below the PS3. There is also the 360s game library, built up to 100 titles since the launch of the 360 in late 2005 which cannot be matched on the PS3 side as most of the games are PS2 games released for the PS3 with the exception of games like [i]Resistance: Fall of Man[/i] which had attracted much of the attention at launch time. MyGamer.com will continue to study and report on this contest between Sony and Microsft as it goes on.
